“Julia was absolutely a dream! She took such incredible care of our Weimaraner, Mozzie. Great communication, great photos and she made sure he had his own vacation while we were away! 10/10 and will rebook again!”

“I’ve had a lot of Rover experiences, and Molly truly raised the bar for how good it can be. She took incredible care of my pup and made him feel completely at home. I honestly wish I could have him stay with her all the time. Highly recommend.”


“We would highly recommend Shalyn and Joe to anyone looking to have their dog looked after. They responded promptly to any concerns we had and we received daily photos and updates on how our Pixie was doing.”

“Jeannie is great - she encouraged me and Percy (our dog) to come check out her house and the yard before booking, and she asked detailed questions about his routine. Percy and I both liked her immediately. During his stay, we received a picture of him daily, and he looked happy and well cared for. I will definitely leave Percy with Jeannie again!”

About: I have a ton of experience pet sitting and checking in on pets throughout the day as well as dog walking. I also have a lot of experience working with senior aged animals. I am very confident in my skills and would love the opportunity to help out anyone who needs it. I am super flexible with hours and always available. I am currently on summer break from school so right now I have all the time in the world. Once September starts I will have to go back to school but I only have a few classes on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so I would only be away from, the animals for two hours at most. Caring for pets in their home is my preferred way to do it because they are familiar with the environment. I have experience watching pets in all types of and different types of outdoor access. So even if there is no screened in fence, I am able to deal with that.
“Katie and her family are delightful. Bebe is usually cautious meeting new people. Bebe seemed totally comfortable as this kind family held her, petted her and scratched her tummy. The cute photos they sent looked like Bebe Heaven! We feel very grateful for this sweet family, Thanks Katie !”

“Maria was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped our dog off, we knew he was in great hands. She took him on long, enjoyable walks and kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Maria was incredibly responsive and clearly treated our dog with so much love and care. He came home happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored his time with her. We are so grateful and would absolutely trust her again in the future!”

About: Animals keep my world turning. As a kid I have always been so interested in animals, and before we had our family dog, I was babysitting neighbors' guinea pigs, lizards, cats, fish, turtles, and dogs. I even have a small amount of experience working with horses! The squirrels around town make me so happy, and I would love to share that same energy with your pet. Every animal has its own needs, quirks, and way of communicating, and I love and respect that. I would love to get to know your pet so that they feel safe with me, as well as understand your needs, rules and boundaries as the pet owner. Your pet is in safe hands, so you can focus on what you need to keep your world turning too. Additionally, I am a college student working towards a B.A. of Art, and I have an Associate of Science degree. I can be flexible, especially with intent to find repeat pet parents whose animal(s) I care for. I have courses Monday through Thursday, and I do have some flexibility with my afternoons at times. As an art student, I can bring my work with me, meaning it is not likely difficult for me to spend time at the pet's house, especially as the weather gets colder. I often have lots of flexibility on Fridays, and I am happy to discuss more, again, especially if you are looking for a repeat sitter. I do not have any pets of my own. I live on the second floor of an apartment building, with easy access to outside via stairs, or a slightly further away elevator. I can and do keep my house clean, and would keep the pet in the main room with my supervision. My building has an extremely large yard as well as a very long grassy path, both to play and take more comfortable walks for Puppy's feet. If there is a pet in my vicinity, I cannot take my attention away, so trust we would have a fun day together. Other important notes: - I have a vehicle I can rely on for transportation of myself as well as pets - I do NOT have a kennel or crate for dogs/pets - I do NOT have a carseat or harness for dogs/pets - I do NOT have toys or food. *I will gladly come your way, or bring your pet my way. I just ask that anything important such as food, favorite toys, and any equipment is available for the pet to use while I am sitting them. I do have water, of course!
“It is with deepest regret that we have to inform any previous sitter that we said was good in the past..... DOES NOT HOLD A CANDLE TO MIRIAM & TERRELL!!! No, we are not relatives or neighbors of/to them. No we didn't know them from the ole' college days, and no we didn't meet them at a bar or grocery store. Nope. We just needed a sitter about 5 days before we left town, saw their listing here on Rover. We messaged back and forth a bit, booked it, dropped 'em off Friday night, and WOW! They are truly into being great sitters for your pups! No joke. You could not ask for anymore. So many updates. So many little features that I will not tell you, but you will love... We promise. You can go off to wherever it is your going, and from drop off to pick up, you will not worry one bit about your pupper(s)! Unless there is an apocalypse, we will not use anyone else! Thank you Miriam & Terrell!”

“Jill is always great with our Khaleesi. It is obvious, Khaleesi really likes her. She sends pics,walks her and takes wonderful care of her especially during thunderstorms,which we both really appreciate! Thank you, Jill! You're truly the best! 🤗🫶🏾”

“This was the first time we've left our dogs with someone and we're definitely glad it was with Shannon. They were very well taken care and happy when we picked them up. Shannon stayed in daily contact and sent photos and videos of our fur babies enjoying their time with her. We highly recommend Shannon and plan on rebooking when we take our next vacation.”
“This was our first time our Goldendoodle (80lbs) stayed with her and her dog. They played well and she took great care of him. We appreciate Niratcha sending us daily pictures in the morning and night to see how Kipper was doing. Happy with her and we just rebooked with her. Thank you.”

About: Hello! We absolutely love all dogs. We have a beautiful 4 year old Weimaraner who we came into our life as a pup. We also have had two prior to her. We are comfortable with all aged dogs from the feisty puppies to the more quiet seniors. We have lots of experience with young puppies, senior dogs who need medication (oral pills or otherwise), and shy or energetic dogs. Linda even worked as a Vet Tech in high school and was a dog walker in college. We both are retired and love to sit outside with our dog and go for walks. As a visitor to our home, we are open to whatever method you employ for your dog’s safety. We have experience with crate training and are happy to continue those practices if you wish. Otherwise, your dog is free to roam our fenced yard and home. We are both retired, so have lots of time for your pup. Our dog always gets to go out whenever she wants. So will yours. We usually walk our dog in the morning afternoon and evening. If your dog is up to that, we will have her join us. We have a fenced in yard for the dogs to enjoy whenever they want. Our house is very dog friendly. Our dogs are allowed on the furniture. We do not leave any food out and have a dog proof garbage can too.
“I felt so relieved to leave our doggie Whiskey with Susan and her husband. They gave him so much love and attention. She sent us so many pictures of how he was doing and his daily activities. She walked him, played with him and gave him all the love I could ever ask for. We felt so great leaving our doggie baby with her and have already planned another trip in the spring and have it booked. Im so happy I found her on Rover”

“Jacqueline and Uriel were both amazing! They gave me hourly updates with photos and helped me stay at ease since it was my first time leaving my pup with anyone. They spent a lot of quality time with him teaching him tricks, taking him out every hour, and making sure my little guy was well taken care of. I can’t say enough good things about them both and I am so grateful I found them! I would def recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable sitter! 10/10 🙏”

“Penelope had a wonderful stay for the week. She was very well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. Communication was great throughout the stay, and it was clear Penelope was treated like part of the family. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter”

“As usual a great service! they helps us a lot. This time we use their boarding service because my wife was going to give birth. They were as always extremely kind and understanding with Lucas and Max's delivery and pick up times.”


“Peggy was excellent. She was very thorough prior to babysitting Sozo and was great about communication before and during his visit. She made her home a nice place for him to stay and i would recommend her! Sozo loved her four season room to look out the window!”

“This was my first time using River and Barbara was incredibly helpful with the process. She was quick in responding to my questions and was easy to get a hold off. My dog was really taken care of the time she was with Barbara. When we were gone, we got daily updates with pictures of what our dog was up to. My dog was having trouble at night and Barbara was very willing to figure out what was going on to help my dog be ok at night. We were really happy with Barbara.”
