“Anna is a super sweet girl and does a great a job with our pups! She keeps our house very clean and our hyper pups are calmer than normal when we return and happy as could be! I am very at ease knowing she takes such good care of everything while we are away. Thanks again for everything Anna!!”
“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”
“This is the second time Asia has watched our dog for an extended period of time! She did a great job taking care of our dog and keeping an eye on our house! She’s on time and detailed in her communication! Thanks Asia!”
“Julia was great! She sent pictures of our animals as an update and was a huge help when we needed someone pretty last minute to watch our house.”
“Callie was absolutely amazing while house-sitting my dog for 3 nights! She gave me multiple updates everyday with pictures and videos. A truly anxiety-free experience and would 100% book again.”
“D’Andra was so amazing with my pup. He had a medical issue and D’Andra took him right away to the vet to get it checked out, and subsequently administered more frequent eye drops to him. My pup also got a handmade sweet little bonnet from D’Andra, and my condo was so well cared for too. I trust D’Andra 100% and you’d be lucky to have them care for your pet!”
“Lawrence took great care of our dog and house while we were away— would definitely recommend him! Our dog is often anxious around new people but she liked him pretty much immediately.”
“Megan was able to help us in a pinch and we are extremely grateful. Could tell our dogs were happy and our house was in perfect shape when we got home. Would definitely work with Megan again”
“Tess was great with our dog and very reliable! She also helped us out with getting some packages for us that were delivered while we were out of town. I would definitely recommend her services!!”
“Jared was great. He is fantastic with the dogs and kept us updated throughout the stay with photos and updates daily. We would 100% recommend him to take care of our animals and house.”
“I was super hesitant to have a sitter in house for my pup because I was scared of my house being a wreck when I came back. Thankfully, this fear did not come true with Mary as a sitter. They were clean and kept my apartment how I left it… if not better. They sent me quite a few update pictures of my pup, and just regular updates in general. They also made sure my pup was okay with plenty of water in the time it was going to take me to get home after they left. Your pup will be in good hands with Mary!”
“Allison was our first cat sitter to also stay in our home, and we are so happy we found her! From the moment we submitted our request in Rover, Allison was terrific in her communication and warmth. She immediately offered to come meet us before we completed our booking, and this gave me comfort given I’ve never had a house sitter before. Our cat really needs human interaction and love, and Allison definitely provided that and more. We returned home to a very happy boy and a very organized place - maybe more organized than when we left! We will definitely book Allison again for our next trip.”
About: I have spent time around dogs, big and small, my whole life! I am particularly well-versed in big dogs over 100 pounds as I have been taking care of two Saint Bernards for the last few years. Also, I am comfortable with all levels of training! I am currently working a part-time job in the evenings on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, so I have plenty of time to care for your furry friends. During the week, I am free until 3pm, and I am very flexible on the weekends! Although I do not offer in-home services, I will always treat your pets and home as if it were my own! I pride myself in filled water bowls and happy animals! I will help keep you animals safe and your home clean!
About: I have worked with animals since I was in middle school. I enjoy being around animals and I want the best for them. I am certified and very good at what I do. I am currently working part time and also homeschooling my children so I will have ample time to care for your companion. I am available everyday after 3pm but sometimes I have morning's open as well. Communication is key with me so we can work something out so everyone is happy. I have learned fear free tactics that can help with introductions and getting comfortable. I can easily crate if needed and will calm down any stressful environment.
“It is super hard for those of us with elderly animals to find peace of mind when you have to leave your precious pet, they may have anxiety, medical issues, and certainly confusion over the temporary change. Add to that, the my dog hasn't had a non family member sitter in many years, and there was a decent amount of stress going into this sort trip. Catelyn was quite literally a saving grace for me. She gave me updates consistently, updating on food, potty times, and Nonnie's general behavior. But more than that - she absolutely gave me confidence that my sweet old lady was in the best of hands. I could not have asked for a more caring and compassionate sitter. It is clear that she loves dogs, and cares for all of those in her charge as her own. She even went above and beyond by cleaning up the doggie food containers, picking up poop in the backyard and changing out the sheets on the bed (just all star moves right there) It was wonderful knowing that I had someone so competent with my dog and my house. I will absolutely not hesitate to book her for my next out of town trip.”

Caroline K.Star Sitter
“I could not be happier with my Rover dog walker, Caroline! I have two large dogs (Saint Bernard and Labrador Retriever) and finding someone who can handle both of them confidently was a challenge. From the very first meet and greet, I knew I was in great hands. Caroline was punctual, professional and clearly experienced with big dog breeds. Every walk is a highlight for my dogs. They come back happy, tired, and well-exercised, which is no small feat given their size and energy levels! I also love the updates and photos she sends after each walk - it's such a reassuring touch. Highly recommend Caroline for anyone with dogs who needs reliable, loving care!”

Catelyn was fantastic with my Cali girl! She was excellent in making sure all of her needs were met. Cali is a GSD that gets very anxious and reactive. Catelyn sent me lots of pupdates of how Cali was doing as well as pictures and videos 😊 I’m very particular about who Cali is with as we have worked so hard to build her confidence and reduce her anxiety and reactivity, and I would rebook Catelyn in a heartbeat! I came home to a very happy pup! Thank you Catelyn !!
Laura took the best care of Noni while I was gone for 2 weeks! She was very communicative. She doted on Noni and took the time to understand her unique issues (reactivity and anxiety). She managed these issues beautifully. Noni was so sad to leave once I got back! I will absolutely reach out to Laura in the future to take care of my pup.
Madison was amazing! It was our first time using her so obviously we were a bit nervous but from the very first day she completely put us at ease. She was punctual and communicative. She sent updates with lots of pics. Our pups and kitty were all happy and healthy when we returned. Additionally our house was spotless. I cannot recommend Madison enough!
Brianna was a wonderful sitter for both our cat and our home. It was evident when I arrived home that Franklin was a bit disappointed that it was me walking in the door instead of Brianna! She sent pictures along the way and kept us in the loop. She was very respectful and helpful around our home, too, ensuring that outside plants got watered, dealing with mail and trash, and even coordinating with neighbors who needed to use our driveway while we were away. She left our home neat and tidy. I would not hesitate to hire Brianna again or to recommend her to others. She makes coming home from vacation feel good!
Kyani did an amazing job sitting our dog and I would recommend her to anyone! She is an excellent communicator and is very detail oriented when learning your animals needs and preferences. She kept me updated every step of the way and I always felt in the loop with her day. Can’t thank her enough!
Maureen did awesome watching our rescue dog Mabel who is quite scared. She was patient with her, took her on long walks and to the dog park and brought her own dog to our house to make Mabel more comfortable. She also left the house in great shape. Would recommend!
