“Alison is amazing. She absolutely loves animals and my dog took to her right away. During my travels my dog did not want to leave her side! This is as comfortable as I have ever felt leaving my little one with a sitter. I will be using her exclusively going forward. She is exactly what we all look for when searching for a good sitter. 10/10”


“Jayden is an amazing and extremely attentive sitter! I have a very energetic pup and two growing cats and they seemed to really enjoy their time with Jayden. When I returned home, the house looked amazing and everything was as it should be. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.”


“Bre was fantastic watching our Cat! He has some medical that require extra effort/ needs and Bre followed directions and was very communicative in times of doubt. She also took great care of our house. We will hire her again and highly recommend her to watch your pets!”


“Malcomn was the best Rover we ever had. Would hire him back in an instance. He was respectful, responsive, communicative and took exceptional care of our puppy and cat for a long weekend. He sent great descriptions and photos every day. He sets the bar high for Rovers!”


“Jordan is a delight - amazing communication & very responsive from 1st request! She's a true animal Lover & have such good care to our Scoutie! Daily walks, loads of attention & affection - with photo updates each morning & evening! She will be our go to sitter from now on. We're thrilled to have found her!!”


“Kathryn took excellent care of my Buddy. She was very responsive and sent many photos throughout the day. He’s not the easiest dog to care for, so I was impressed with how easily he took to her and how well she cared for him. 10/10 would recommend.”


“Laurel is such a kind and thoughtful dog and house sitter! She knew my daughters were missing their pups while we were on vacation, and she sent us so many pictures every day! Our dogs were well loved and taken care of with Laurel! I highly recommend Laurel to anyone looking for a dog sitter. 🩷”


“Alexa was a very thoughtful, thorough, and kind sitter. She followed all the house rules and Nala rules. She left our home better than when we came back. We will definitely hire her again.”


“Mairead is an amazing sitter. She took such great care of my dog who had just gotten diagnosed with cancer. Another sitter cancelled on me with 18 hours’ notice. I reached out to Mairead and she swooped in like Superman. I couldn’t be more grateful. She was diligent and communicative. Look no further than Mairead for all your sitting needs.”


“My Dog Dottie loved Ava! Dottie has tons of energy and Ava spoiled her with long walks and lots of dog park trips. I felt so relieved that my pup was in great hands. Ava sent lots of pictures and updates and left the house nicer than she found it. The best! Already booking her again”


“We’ve got one special needs dog and two elderly cats that need very specific diets and medications. We’ve also got one more dog and cat! Brianna came in at the last minute for us to take care of everyone and after getting home it’s clear how much love everyone got from her thank you so much for taking such great care of everyone and sitting for us.”



“Kat was such a great sitter! She house sat for us over a holiday weekend and took such great care of our two cats. She was very communicative and provided great updates throughout her stay. She left our home extremely clean as well. We will definitely plan to book Kat again!”


“We moved to Chicago just a few weeks before a two week trip to Australia, so needless to say we were a bit worried about leaving our cat. I got in touch with Nicole before we even moved and she was great right from the start. Throughout our trip, she sent pictures at least twice a day and was very communicative. She asked if her boyfriend could stay with her and since we were gone for two weeks, we agreed to that. They stayed at our apartment for two weeks and treated both our cat and our apartment with care. You could barely tell anyone had stayed there when we got back. I also left them a novel of instructions and they followed it all (although I could've been more clear on how many treats he should get, he got spoiled!). As soon as she got to our house at the start of our booking, our anxieties about leaving our cat were gone. Can't recommend booking Nicole enough.”


“Travis is a fantastic pet sitter. He watched my puppy, my bigger, older dog, and my cat while I was in Detroit for a weekend getaway. This is my second time using Rover as my first time did not go well and now I usually am too afraid to trust anyone else with my animals. I was kept updated (but not too much) and I can tell by their mannerisms that they were well cared for. I am planning on using Travis’s services again later this summer when I’ll be gone for ten days. He is a kind, empathetic, and considerate pet sitter.”


“Patricia was absolutely a star for us. Bucket loved having her here and was sad when she left. We will absolutely use Patricia again and appreciate everything she did for Bucket. The care was immaculate and much appreciated!”


“Margaret was amazing! She was so wonderful to work with. She took such good care of our zoo family which consisted of 4 dogs and 2 cats for 5 days. She also took care of our home. She made sure our babies felt comfortable while we were away. I will definitely be booking with Margaret if she's available!”


About: I love dogs and cats, all animals really. I have had my dog for 5 years, I trained her since she was 8 weeks. I am very hardworking and punctual. I will give ur pup love and attention and any guidance needed :) Pet care is my priority everyday as a pet owner, and it would be my top priority to treat others pets with utmost care and provide any services needed. I have a large house and a big backyard. I also love taking walks and I always take my furbaby with me. I have a small 10 pound dog. She is shy and well behaved, mostly sleeps but loves to play. Good with dogs or cats.

“I have a strict potty schedule for my fur babies and I was happy with how she followed the list. She is very kind and really loved on my babies . I would definitely recommend her!”
