“We had a fantastic experience with Dustin! He walked the dogs regularly, gave them lots of attention, and made lots of photographs. He also took great care of the house, and left everything neat and clean. He’s personable, kind, and completely professional. A genuinely good guy that we felt totally comfortable with. Highly recommended!”

“Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!”

“I’ve never felt so comfortable and anxiety free leaving my beloved animals while on a trip. So grateful for her wonderful care, clear and detailed communication, and the ease all around.”

“Jazmin was great! She kept our house clean, followed all instructions, and even helped give our dog eye drops when it wasn’t in the initial instructions. Our animals were very happy with her! She was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures and videos of our babies!”

“Carolyn was absolutely AMAZING with our senior pup Mitzi while I was away on a business trip. Carolyn provided the best, high-touch care and was so understanding and patient with Mitzi’s senior needs. I loved the regular pictures and video updates - it was clear Mitzi really bonded with Carolyn and I felt so at ease knowing Mitzi was in the best hands. Would absolutely recommend Carolyn and rebook again!”

“Sabrina was very professional and made me feel really good about leaving my senior kitty for the weekend. She sent daily pictures and videos and my house was in better condition than when I left. Feeling lucky to have her sitting for us again in a couple of weeks!”

“Abreena was amazing!! She looked after our pups while a long vacation and we will be booking again. She was very communicative, accommodating, and very patient with our high energy dogs. She sent pictures and videos daily which made us feel at ease while on vacation. Came home to relaxed pups! She took care of our home and left it spotless. Can’t wait to book again. 💗 Thank you, Abreena!!!”

“Bari was great, she spent two nights with my dogs and I got updates on how they were doing along with pictures throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend her and would welcome her back to watch my dogs again. Thanks again Bari for everything and Emma and Buddy also say THANKS!”

About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“Kerstin stayed at my house to babysit my dog over this past weekend. She was super easy to communicate with and sent tons of pics. We appreciated her help so much!”

“What an absolutely fantastic experience it was having Jodie house/pet sitter for us! She is so good with knowing how to handle an energetic dog, and used training techniques that were incredibly helpful. Our girl was well cared for, and our home was exactly as we had left it. Jodie is also wonderfully communicative and sent us cute pictures and videos. We highly recommend her for any needs you may have. Thanks so much, Jodie!”

“I’ve used rover many times before, Maria not only left me reassured on our pet meet up before the booking but also during booking. She listened to all of my elder dogs needs, my baby is 14 years of age and leaving her for a week was definitely nerve wracking since here eyes are already grey. She would send me updates on my pets, my dog doesn’t get along with many people or pets but she allowed Maria to get near her and even napped together. She truly is Angel and HIGHLY recommend!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jacob! He was kind and professional and gave my pup the best care I could have asked for. By far the most detailed and frequent reports of any caregiver I’ve worked with. The messages and photos kept me informed and confident my fur baby was in great hands. He administered fresh food and oral medicine with ease. Book with Jacob will not be disappointed!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and I currently have two large (70+ lb) dogs. I grew up with small to medium dogs and before my current pups, I dog/cat sat all manner of dogs and cats from friends and family. I am very detail oriented and attentive when providing care for pets and have a calming presence that pets quickly grow fond of. I have experience with crate training, leash training and giving oral and topical medication. I have created extensive care documents for my own dogs and am happy to follow as many instructions for your pets' care. I'm currently unemployed so I have immense flexibility throughout the weekdays and weekends. I have availability to check in on, walk and house sit your pets. I'm happy to visit your pets and help with feeding, walking or any other specific care you need while you're away. I really enjoy playing with dogs as well and especially if they like fetch! I love to throw and unfortunately my dogs don't have a taste for that so I'm happy to keep your dog exercised. I also like to go on really long walks and sometimes run with dogs if your dog needs more exercise. Otherwise, I'm happy to cozy up with your pet and I can even stay overnight if needed.
“Elisa took on a last-minute housesitting booking and did such a great job! She was so loving with my pup and gave her lots of exercise. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative overall, followed the instructions I left perfectly, and left the house very clean. I will absolutely plan on booking her again, including for drop-ins. Thank you Elisa!”


“Heidi did a fabulous job house sitting our anxious dog, Polly. We were very happy to see that Heidi got Polly to go on walks, which she normally refuses with new sitters, in the daily updates. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and the house was just as we’d left it. We would highly recommend Heidi to anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter.”

“Anna was great with our dogs! She was very conscientious about their needs and kept us informed on how they were doing! She provided a level of comfort so we could enjoy our vacation!”

As always, Loki is so happy to spend time with Joel! Lots of walks, love and attention. Joel sends us photo updates which we love to see while we are away. Joel takes good care of our home, treats it with respect and always clears up before he leaves. We wouldn't be without Joel to take care of Loki, hes looked after him when we are out of town for over 3 years now! So glad we found him.

Julia recently cared for our 16 year old cat, Leaux, over night/s in our home. She did a fantastic job with him, following his frequent meal plan and giving him lots of cuddles. She also took extra care to calm him during the night when he cried out (several times) as he has a little older kitty dementia. She also took extra good care of our home. She sent me pictures and kept excellent communication along the way. It’s been a day since I’ve gotten home and he still keeps going into the guest room to see if she’s still there. He misses her. Don’t hesitate to book Julia for your pet.

Can’t say enough good things about Yulisa. She has taken care of our elderly dog and house several times with great care and compassion. She has always been kind and pleasant in our communications, asked questions and notified us of circumstances when appropriate, and showed up when she said she would. Our house was always spotless after her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire Yulisa again!
Keishla took great care of my large dog and cats while I was away. She even won over the affection of my more skiddish kitten! From the meet and greet, through the end of the sit, Keishla was respectful, responsive, and professional. She spent plenty of time playing with the animals, kept the house clean, and sent several updates and pictures throughout the sit. I would happily book her again!
