“We've used several sitters through Rover, and our dog typically struggles to adjust the first few days when staying somewhere new. This was the first time he felt comfortable right away - he warmed up to Leslie immediately, which says so much about her care and approach. It was clear he was well taken care of, and we really appreciated the daily updates and photos. Our dog genuinely seemed happy and relaxed during his stay. We also had a last minute schedule change and needed to extend his stay, and Leslie was incredibly accommodating and understanding. We're so grateful to have found someone our dog connects with so well and would absolutely book with her again.”

“We knew after meeting Lipika the first time that she would be great for our pupp. She definitely eased my mind with the all the updates (more than once daily!) and she loved him as her own, Thank you!!”

“Krystal and her family were Wonderful. She took care of our dog during the time that Charlotte had record snowfall and cold weather. A path was cleared for our dog so he could go out in the snow. We came home to a happy and healthy sweet dog.”

About: I’ve had animals my whole life! From dogs, cats, hamsters…you name it! I truly care for 4 legged creatures and began sitting officially back in high school. I understand that sometimes life gets busy or you simply need a break. I’m here to care for your furry loved one when those times come! I am available fully on the weekends! Monday through Friday I work until 5. I have 2 crates in my home for this! I am only one flight up but I live in front of a dog park and have a grassed potty area on my porch. My dog and I walk the neighborhood at least once a day I allow pets on the furniture. They have access to any part of the apartment. I am able to crate if preferred. I care for pets by offering lots of rubs tending to their need (extra walks, play time, meds,etc)

“I can't say enough good things about Joyce and her family. She took great care of our dogs. It was such a relief because we have puppies who can't be boarded but we needed to make a quick trip. Joyce was invaluable and allowed us to relax during our trip. When we came to pick up our pets, her wonderful son was loving on one of our babies. Joyce has a LOT of experience with puppies so we knew ours were in good hands. We appreciate all that she did. She let our senior dog stay close to her because he has been sad after losing a friend, which was a big blessing. We had been worried about leaving him. It was a great experience and we will definitely book again.”

“Brent was a great puppy sitter and host for our dog Finn! He had plenty of apace and kept a good awareness of the dogs staying at his house. We are very grateful for his kind dog sitting.”

“This was our 1st time using a pet sitter. Ashley was super friendly and super flexible for my schedule. My dog has a few eccentricities, And a special diet because she is elderly and has no teeth. Ashley knew just what to do. Her dogs got along fine with my Dog. She sent photos 3 or 4 times per day of naps, feeding, walks and cuddling.”

About: I’ve always been someone that animals naturally warm up to because I’m calm, patient, attentive, and consistent. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, and I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My background has taught me the importance of routines, observation, patience, and communication, which translates really well into caring for pets with different temperaments and needs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, shy pets, senior animals who need a gentler pace, and pets who may need extra reassurance or structure. I pay close attention to details like feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and behavior changes, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected and reassured while your pet is in my care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having calm company around, I’ll make sure they receive reliable, loving, and personalized care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and companionship without feeling rushed. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, weekends, and check-ins throughout the day when needed. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if a pet needs extra comfort or patience. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding areas are secure at all times, and I always keep pets supervised during walks, outdoor time, and interactions. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so owners feel reassured and connected while their pets are in my care.
“Drew did a great job of taking care of my rambunctious Husky. I made sure to give him all tips on Penny and what to watch out for and he was very attentive. I’d definitely recommend him with watching your fur babies. My dog came back tired which never happens so I know she had a great time!”


“Sandra was wonderful with our senior dog. She sent us pictures of him enjoying the outside area with other dogs and let us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again.”

“Rachel and her family made our Bella feel like she was at her 2nd home. Absolutely would recommend her services! Great people and it’s obvious they love dogs. Thank you Rachel for being there for us on such short notice.”

“Mike was absolutely fantastic with Cassie. I received updates and great pics! Cassie made lots of new friends and even came home to mope around looking sad from missing all the fun! So much look forward to Cassie going back for future visits!”
“Crystal was fantastic with our Maverick! He had the best time playing with her dog, and he was very well taken care of! Her and her dog are Maverick's new best friends!”

“Sam and Illeana were absolutely wonderful with Bailey. They immediately recognized my anxiety about leaving him for nearly a week and put me at ease from start to finish. I truly appreciated the opportunity for a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and that their lifestyle aligned well with our family. Honestly, Bailey seems a little sad to be back home—which says everything about the love, fun, and excitement he experienced with Kyro and Nala. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!”

Cornelius pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dawn was an excellent sitter for our whippet, Blake. She communicated clearly and promptly and sent frequent updates throughout his stay. Blake can be shy at times, but he immediately felt at ease in Dawn’s home. She gave him necessary (prescribed) anxiety medication and helped keep him calm during a thunderstorm. Blake ate well and came home healthy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We would absolutely trust Dawn with him again.

Nancy was a blessing 🙏We were so fortunate to be able to find her. She and her family looked after our precious little fella impeccably! She met us straight away to see if we were a good fit and kept communicating throughout with photos and comments. He adjusted so quickly and fit in like part of their family. I could see from the photos how much care and love they gave him and the freedom he always had to roam in the garden, rest anywhere and the safety he felt with them be g at home! Thank you again Nancy! I’m sure Corey is looking forward to kisses and cuddles again soon 🫶🤗🥰

Lentil had such a great week with Katie and her family. This was Lentil’s first extended stay away, so we were nervous, but Katie made us feel so comfortable. She was flexible with timing, incredibly accommodating and communicative, and sent us pictures everyday. Peace of mind about your pet when you’re traveling is so valuable, and Katie delivered that for us. We cannot recommend her enough!

Kathleen is absolutely wonderful sitter! We’ve used her services a couple of times now, and she consistently provides the best care and peace of mind. Our dog is always so happy and relaxed in her care-he thinks he has two homes! Kathleen is professional, provides great updates, and truly treats our pup like one of her own. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter!

Drew did a great job of taking care of my rambunctious Husky. I made sure to give him all tips on Penny and what to watch out for and he was very attentive. I’d definitely recommend him with watching your fur babies. My dog came back tired which never happens so I know she had a great time!

Brianna has been so great with my dog Cannoli every time she has watched him! I really appreciate the photos and updates throughout the stay. I love the fact that cannoli gets two playmates to keep him entertained while I’m away. I will 100% be contacting Brianna to watch over Cannoli the next time I need a sitter.

Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.

Logan and Jessica are such caring and kind people. They took great care of Scotti, taking her on long walks and welcoming her into their home. Scotti is shy but from the pictures shared and picking her up, it was obvious she was comfortable and having a great time. You can tell that they not only provide the necessary care for your animal, but they genuinely love to have them in their home. I’m excited to have a reliable dog sitter in the area that I will look to first for future dog care needs. Highly recommend
