“Elizabeth is WONDERFUL! When you meet her, you know everything will be handled. With just one meet and greet, I knew I was able to get out of town without any worries. When I came home, the dogs were content and satisfied, like they had been well cared for and unbothered by my absence! And as a bonus, she was very respectful of my home and left it exactly as she found it! Elizabeth provides a 10/10 service, and I highly recommend her!”

“Gabby was great with our dog, she took great care of him and our house! The house was spotless on our return, and our normally anxious dog seemed as happy as usual which was a relief for us. She was very quick with communicating, we would definitely have Gabby sit for us again.”

“Crystal went above and beyond taking care of my pittie and cat. She sent lots of photos, communicated frequently, and left the house very tidy!”


“Alecia is amazing. She is great with my kitties, attentive to detail, and communicates about what is going on with them. She stayed here for four days, and I came back to a home that was as clean as when I left it. Thank you, Alecia! I was lucky to find her through Rover and hope she can help next time I travel!”
“Rowan did a great job with the pup and the house dispite some crazy weather conditions. The dog was happy and the house was organized when I returned. She was great at communicating and sending updates when I was away.”

“Naika was incredible. Showed up with very short notice, had a great attitude and was so good with our dog. She is kind, professional, competent, and showed up on time. We will definitely hire her again and recommend her highly as well!”

“Bethany was wonderful for our first time working with her! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands :)”

“Kathleen watched our pup for a week (our longest time away yet). Our pup was around 9 months old at the time, so despite the extra work that comes with a younger dog, we were very comfortable and reassured while away! She sent daily updates + photos, and we know our girl was cared for like she was her own. Kathleen also fed our fish and left the house in great shape, which we greatly appreciated. Would happily book her again for any future sittings!”

“Suzanne was so good with my high energy dogs. She sent me updates and was thorough! I came home to some happy pups! My house was left in perfect condition! Would definitely call her again!”

“Nina was so awesome with taking care of our dogs when we went out of town! We have 1 dog that is diabetic along with several other issues and she was great taking care of him which can be a task. Lots of pictures and messages which made us feel super comfortable. Will definitely use again and highly recommend.”
“Brooke was amazing! She was super responsive and sent daily pics of the doggies. She was extra flexible when our flights were delayed and we asked if she could stay an extra night. 100% recommend.”

“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“I cannot recommend Andy enough! Throughout our weeklong trip, she provided consistent communication on how our two dogs (one of which is special needs) were doing. Her care - daily walks, pets, and treats - ensured that she quickly became a favorite human! Plus, she helped troubleshoot when an opossum caught our older dog’s attention. Her professionalism and thoughtfulness are superb and put our minds at ease during long international travel.”

“Katie was fantastic! Our fur babies were well taken care of and seemed tired out from their play times with Katie! Thank you so much! We'll be contacting Katie next time we need someone to look after our two trouble makers! 💚”

“Jody was so wonderful. I had to find a pet sitter short notice and she was not only so accommodating but made me feel so comfortable with leaving Fern. She sent so many pictures and kept me constantly updated. Would very highly recommend using Jody as she has lots of love to share with pups :)”

About: I got my first dog at age 14 and the condition was that I provide all of the care and train her. Many friends and neighbors call on me to care for their pups and I’ve even done a three month stent caring for two senior dogs. 16 years ago I got my first cat and now here I am with four of them. I also have a leopard gecko and I’m learning a lot more about reptile care. I am currently off for this summer and have complete open availability to walk, play with, and starve your babies with attention. I am delighted at the opportunity! I do not offer care in my own home, but I am happy to provide care in yours as my husband can care for our animals without me present. I will follow whatever routines and expectations needed for your pet.
“Outstanding, amazing, awesome, ....words cannot describe how truly wonderful Olivia is. She took great care of Cookie, Gary, our house, and my wife's flowers. I knew she'd be our sitter when she did her meet and greet and Cookie and Gary both took to her immediately. Lots of pictures each day, daily updates, and updated when I checked in. We are so happy we went with Rover, but even happier we found Olivia. Thank you for taking such great care of our fur babies!”

“Maggie is an incredible sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Nattie, on two separate trips of mine now and it is the most confident I’ve ever been that Nattie is safe, happy, and well looked after while I’m gone. Maggie sends me an update with pictures each day, along with any questions or concerns, and otherwise I can trust I don’t need to worry and enjoy my trip without stressing that something could be wrong. I love getting the pictures and hearing about how everything is going, and knowing Nattie is being given all the treats and walks and attention she needs and deserves. I would recommend Maggie to any dog mom looking for someone reliable and trustworthy!”

“Elizabeth stayed in our home 5 nights and was wonderful with our 2 dogs, 2 cats and 2 ferrets, which included our dog that required daily medication. We were nervous leaving our fur babies but she took great care of them and our home. We highly recommend her!”

Libby was great. She came over for a meet and greet and was thoughtful during my trip - sending pictures & being flexible when my flight home got delayed. I never felt like I couldn’t get in touch while I was gone and appreciate how she took care of my home and dog!

We are so happy to have Marlena as a dog sitter. She understands the two distinct personalities of our dogs, shows them lots of love and affection, and provides such wonderful updates throughout the stay with photos and even videos, putting our minds at ease when we are away. She is kind, professional, respectful, and truly a dog person - I'm not sure our dogs even missed us, and that's saying a lot!

Brooke is FANTASTIC. They spent a week with our dog (house sitting) and I have never felt more at ease. We have a pet cam due to a horrible previous experience and I only checked it once because it was clear our pup was in good hands. Brooke communicates well, asks great questions and can navigate staying in someone’s home without a million questions (also left our home immaculate!). They also take amazing photos with witty commentary. Recommend with no reservations and would book with Brooke again.

Brendan was wonderful! He was so attentive and caring and kind to my fur babies! Also came home to a clean house after our 4 night stay in the Smokies. I especially appreciated the daily updates and pictures. He is going to be on my speed dial list going forward. Highly recommend Brendan!

Jody was so wonderful. I had to find a pet sitter short notice and she was not only so accommodating but made me feel so comfortable with leaving Fern. She sent so many pictures and kept me constantly updated. Would very highly recommend using Jody as she has lots of love to share with pups :)

My boys loved spending time with Karen. She took great care of them and made sure my one boy got all his meds. She sent pictures and they looked very happy. The house looked great when we got home. I highly recommend her. I will definitely be booking with Karen again. Thank you for treating my boys like they were your own.

Crystal did a terrific job taking care of Toby again! He seems so comfortable with her and settles in quickly. She is very attentive & checks in with me several times a day with photos too. She cleaned up too & my house looks just like when I left. Thanks Crystal! I will book again!
