“Rebecca was incredible. She was so sweet with Chloe. She sent constant updates and pictures of Chloe and I felt so comfortable. She really paid attention to Chloe’s needs making sure she stayed calm. She really gets involves in the care. Highly recommend, will continue using her!”
“WOW! No really, WOW! Hieu and Anna are AMAZING! I can't thank them enough for taking such good care of pup. You see, she can be a challenge. I can't board her due to her fear aggression issues (we're in therapy for it!). From the meet and greet, which by the end of my pup was on her back getting belly rubs from them (and that never happens with other people!) to the excellent communication (with hilarious fotos) from them, I am beyond impressed. And they left my home exactly the way they found it: clean and tidy! I've had some real disasters with pet sitters and Hieu and Anna are absolute GEMS!”
“I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking such great care of Brandi. She’s definitely spoiled, and her irregular eating habits are just part of her missing us—it’s nothing to do with you. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of Brandi. It truly means a lot to me!”
“Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my little dude while I was away! All of her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my trip, plus, I came home to a happy and tired pup and my place in perfect condition - I truly could not ask for more. Frasier and I can’t wait to have her back!”
“Deborah is fantastic! She is very communicative, trustworthy, loves our fur babies as if they were her own, and genuinely cares for our home. We appreciate Deborah taking care of our two boys and will be repeat customers!!”
“Andrea could not be a more conscientious and responsible sitter. She stayed in our home for two weeks while we were in Europe. She was in constant contact letting us know how our two cats and beagle were doing. She took care of the mail, plants and even did the chemicals for the pool. We trust her implicitly.”
“Once again, Kerry allowed us to truly relax on our vacation because we knew our fur baby was in excellent hands. Not only did she take wonderful care of our anxious dog, but our plants and vegetable garden too! We’ll definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Sarah is an amazing sitter. She is very responsive and caring. Very reliable. We will continue to book with sarah as long as she has availability. Thank you sarah!”
About: I have worked with every dog and cat breed you can imagine. I grew up studying breed books and very flexible with each pet’s needs and wants. I love a challenge! Some of my best clients are very detailed orientated and I will follow that to a T. I’m a full time mom, so pet care works seamlessly with my schedule. I do have a part time importing business which some weekends will be off limits, but I know that schedule a year out, so there will be no disturbances to my set schedule. I’m very flexible with last minute weekday needs. I make sure the pet and I are a good fit at the meet and greet, I never try to force a relationship. I want your pet to feel totally safe with me. I make sure to ask every detailed questions and what you expect from me, as I want your pet to experience no disruptions in care. Water is refilled every visit and trash put in the correct bins.
“Talia was available just a few days before I was set to leave for vacation after previous booked sitter had to cancel at the last minute. Talia was great with my dog, Piper. She was so patient with Piper as it took a few days to warm up to her. She sent pictures and updated via text, and even left notes for when I got home. I will definitely keep Talia in mind for when I need a house sitter for Piper again.”
“ZaNai went above and beyond taking care of our elderly dog in our home. She gave daily updates, followed up with questions for anything she did not know or wanted to confirm before taking action, and respected our home as if it were her own. We will absolutely rebook with ZaNai in the future and would recommend her to any one seeking in home pet sitting.”
“We truly appreciate everything Marcela did for our girls while we were away. As first time Rover users, we were a bit apprehensive about the whole process but she put us at ease. She sent us lots of photos of our girls where could see that they were happy and immediately bonded with her. She kept us updated with regular messages and provided quick responses to our questions. We would definitely book Marcela again.”
“She’s definitely great! Very attentive to my cat. Came twice a day and played with him, feed him and made sure his litter was changed. Will be reaching out to her again in the future.”
“I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations. She was extremely communicative, followed our specific care instructions to the letter, and took wonderful care of our cat and dog. In her home visit beforehand, she asked specific questions that showed she was listening and cared about corrective care. When we returned, not only were our animals happy to see us, but they seemed completely at ease - as if we’d never left. The house was just as we left it, and she even took care of thoughtful little details, like refilling the water pitcher we use for their bowls. You really can’t ask for more when trusting someone with your pets.”

About: I treat every pet like family, patient, observant, and caring. I may be new, but I come with love, responsibility, and a pocket of treats Working full time with reduced summer hours, plus weekends & holidays off, I’m available to offer consistent, caring attention and companionship for your pets! :) Pets in my care have access to walking paths, a dog park, a wash station, and designated potty areas. Crate-trained pups are welcome! I keep communication clear because guessing games are for pets, not pet parents
About: See animal sections below as they apply to your fur-family 🤗💕 Cats: I have owned multiple cats at a time for my entire life. I currently have 3, including a recent car-rescue kitten! I have experience administering eye and oral medications. Your litter boxes & the surrounding area (if you have a crazy-coverer like I do! 🤣) will be extra clean. I love giving kitties love & affection, or tiring them out with their favorite toy - totally dependent on their personality and needs! 🤩 Dogs: I have owned dogs most of my life as well, ranging in size from a Dachshund to a Rottweiler (all breeds are loved here 🥰). I am happy to go for walks, or just handle bathroom & food times for your pup(s)! 🤩 Misc.: I have experience pet-sitting for horses and birds. I also have personal experience owning turtles and fish. Any pet will be treated like family with me - my only exception is spiders… (sorry arachnid lovers 🤣) I do work full-time so my availability may be limited at times, but when I am with your pet(s) they will have my undivided attention- and you will receive lots of photos (unless requested otherwise) 🥳💕 Can’t wait to meet your fur-family 😍 I work full time, so pet-sitting will occur after my regular work hours or on the weekends! I am very flexible on weekends, and will have limited flexibility during the week. I will treat pets & homes as if they were my own. I understand some pets may get restless when their owner is away - and I am happy to clean up any messes that may come from this. I will be sure the home is left in the same, if not a better, condition compared to when I arrived. I also will make sure the pets are left feeling sleepy & with a full belly after so much love and attention!

Sandra Y.
“Sandra is wonderful with my cat, calico, 11, and dog, rat terrier mix, 11. Both require special attention since my cat is needy but skittish and my dog is a clinger. For both overnight stays and daily visits, Sandra makes sure to give them ample attention and check on their food and search for any accidents (vomit, bathroom, etc). I highly recommend Sandra for anyone who needs someone they can trust in their home as well -- I never have to worry about anything being misplaced or misused. Great peace of mind.”

I highly recommend Katherine! This was our first time using her services, and she definitely met our expectations. She was extremely communicative, followed our specific care instructions to the letter, and took wonderful care of our cat and dog.

ZaNai went above and beyond taking care of our elderly dog in our home. She gave daily updates, followed up with questions for anything she did not know or wanted to confirm before taking action, and respected our home as if it were her own. We will absolutely rebook with ZaNai in the future and would recommend her to any one seeking in home pet sitting.
Nina was a lifesaver! After our previously scheduled sitter didn't show, Nina came to the rescue and took wonderful care of Bear and Sunny as well as our home! She communicated with us daily, we loved the videos and photos. It made us feel connected while away! Nina allowed us worryfree time away from home.
This was my first time using Rover, and all I can say is Diana was phenomenal. From the moment we first met, Diana calmed any concern I had about using Rover. She is a true animal lover who took care of my cats as if her own. She communicated daily and sent pictures and videos. Could not ask for a better cat sitter and will definitely continue to use her!
