I was impressed with Julie’s care of my dogs. She was prompt with messages and sent me many pictures during my short trip. Dogs were happy and came home tired! Will definitely take my dogs to Julie again! :)

Katy was great with our wheaten terrier. She treated him as one of her own and was an excellent communicator! We would definitely book with her again!

We had an amazing experience with Elizabeth as our dog sitter! She took such great care of our dog and kept us updated the entire time with messages, videos, and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear our dog was happy, comfortable, and well loved. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Being my 1st time using the app with my puppy, I was nervous. Jenai & Sean were outstanding! They made my dog feel like part of their family and treated him with as much love as I do. They were patient with his quirks & kind to send lots of photos to keep me informed. I will absolutely be using them in the future & highly recommend them

I really appreciate Trina's time and disposition to take care of Deborah. Trina was careful and attentive to instructions, I would totally recommend her as a little friend sitter. Her dogs are lovely and I am sure Deborah had a good time with them.

Becky is a tremendous sitter! It was our first time using Rover and we left our two dogs with her for 11 days. She made us incredibly comfortable throughout the entire process, from our initial meet and greet all the way to pick up. She's also great about communicating and sharing updates, often even more than once per day. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Jamie was really friendly and gave me regular updates and pictures of my dog during her stay there. He took her out on regular walks. Millie had a really good time during her stay at Jamie’s house. I will definitely use his services in the future. Don’t hesitate to reach out to Jamie if you need a good home and a sitter to watch your dog

Reed and Natalie always do a great job with taking care of my puppy. He comes home happy and tired, and the pictures and videos they send of him having fun and being played with are reassuring and heartwarming. If I could give extra stars, I would.

About: I have had cats and dogs my whole life, and they have enriched my life so much. I volunteered at animal shelters, working with dogs of all kinds, and socializing with the cats. I regularly walked dogs and was a dog/house sitter for over a year, then took a brief hiatus while I was working full time and am getting back into dog sitting now that I have a house of my own, and can offer boarding services! I have also had two puppies over my life that I helped raise and take care of into their old age. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend loving your critters, and my partner works fully remote so he is available to let dogs in and out while I am gone! We have a large fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and play, plus we love going on walks when we have dogs visiting us. We have two cats, Swiper and Bilbo, who are both familiar with dogs, and can be shy but very friendly. They also have their own hideaway which houses their food and litter that dogs do not have access to in case they need some time to themselves. My mom's dog, Juno, also visits us frequently, and she LOVES having playmates around and gets along with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I make sure to take swift action on any problems that may arise, and communicate frequently in detail. You can rest easy knowing I treat any critter in my care as if they were one of my own, and you will also receive picture updates every day, usually multiple times a day. I work part time, and my partner works from home so we have lots if time and attention for your pets! We both love dogs and cats alike, and we have a large fenced in yard for running and playing, as well as enjoy going on long walks. I have a large fenced in yard for running and playing, and two cats who get along well with other cats and dogs, plus they have their own hideaway out of reach from dogs for their own space.

This was the second time Sarah had watched our dog and we are still so happy with the care that Sarah provides. She was also very accommodating with a slight change in drop off/pick up time. We know he is well loved and enjoys playing with her dogs as well. So grateful to have found Sarah!

Montana and her family took excellent care of Clover. They even went above and beyond giving her a bath and a good brushing. I loved the photos and updates she sent throughout my vacation. That gave me peace of mind and comfort seeing she was getting along so well. I appreciate the care and love they gave . I would definitely recommend Montana for pet care.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my attention to detail, patience, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and comfort cues so I can provide care that truly fits the individual animal. I’m especially patient with young pets, reinforcing basic training like routine consistency, positive behavior encouragement, and structured play to help them build good habits. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m already someone who plans my day around consistency and responsibility. I structure my mornings and evenings to allow time for feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and checking in on overall behavior and mood. Throughout the day, I make space for playtime, enrichment, or simply providing companionship—because I know attention and interaction are just as important as basic care. On a weekly basis, I build in time for deeper cleaning, grooming if needed, and restocking supplies. Caring for pets isn’t something I “fit in” last minute—it’s something I intentionally prioritize as part of a steady, organized routine. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a calm, structured environment where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow their regular feeding schedule, maintain clean water and litter areas, and make sure they have a quiet space to relax. I also provide daily playtime and enrichment based on their personality—whether that’s interactive toys, brushing, or simply giving them attention and companionship. I monitor their behavior closely to ensure they’re eating well, staying active, and showing no signs of stress.
