“Hannah was communicative with me while I was away and we would love to re book with her again in the future. My pups were happy upon my arrival and she was a lovely house guest. Thank you, Hannah! 🐾”

“Emma was amazing! We already can’t wait to use her again. My girls are pretty shy but they warmed up so fast with her! She made them feel really comfortable and I can tell made them feel so loved. She sent a lot of updates and even washed the sheets and took out the trash before she left, she went above & beyond! Thank you Emma!”

“Helena just watched our Italian Greyhound and cat at our house for 8 full days while we were on vacation. She made sure all of the house tasks and chores were done, and took exceptional care of our pets. She took our dog on several walks, and several excursions outside the house, which our dog definitely enjoyed. We felt comfortable that our pets were taken care of by someone so hands on. She sent pictures and updates everyday, which made us feel at ease. I think our pets really bonded with her as well! The house was in great shape by the time we returned home. We would absolutely use Helena’s services in the future!”

“Kaitlyn took care of my 2 dogs for a week and she went above and beyond to make sure they were safe and well cared for. We were so lucky to have her! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!😊”

“Cheryl was amazing! She was fantastic about sending photos and fun updates, and she took wonderful care of our two Aussies, one of whom has epilepsy. She was great about administering medications and giving them exercise. We definitely recommend!”

“Allegra was great!! Super responsive, on time and made sure she understood all of the requirements.. Our boy loved spending time with her. Would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs.”

“Janet was so wonderful! She accommodated my request last minute, and took such great care of my three fur babies! She sent me pictures frequently and I just knew my pets were in good hands! Thank you Janet!”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up on a farm caring for a variety of animals, and I’ve had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My home has always been a comfortable, pet-friendly place. Today, I share my home with my own pets: a soft coated Wheaten Terrier and a ginger cat. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your animals, and I take pride in providing attentive, loving care while following your instructions closely—so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m lucky to have great walking trails near my house, and I often take my dog on long walks down to the beach. Whether your pet loves adventure or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to match their energy level and routine. My goal is always to build a calm, trusting bond so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’m a consultant with a very flexible schedule, and since I work from home most days, I’m around to give your pet plenty of attention and care. My home is very pet-friendly—I allow pets on the furniture and in bed with me—but I'm also happy to follow whatever rules you have for your pet during their stay. I want them to feel at home while keeping consistency with your preferences and routine.
“Katherine took amazing care of our two dogs at home! Her knowledge of veterinary medicine, dog meds, etc. is stellar and we were so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Her communication skills are also excellent. As a bonus, the dogs love her too.”

“This was the first time we left our pup at home (she's spoiled). Brenda immediately put our mind at ease and allowed us to not worry about the dog while we were away for the night. And our pup loved her too. Her communication was excellent, she even sent us updates throughout the evening. Brenda is great, we'd 10/10 recommend her if you need someone kind and trustworthy to watch your animals.”

“Lisa was amazing! She took great care of our dogs and our house. She sent us pictures and videos and updates throughout. Very happy with the whole experience would definitely use her again. Thank you, Lisa!”

“Rachel is such a lovely person and I know our pets were well loved while we were gone! She was very communicative and left the sweetest letter to my pets after her stay. I can tell she really connected with them and that makes me so happy. She stepped in at the last minute, and took care of everything over the thanksgiving holiday. Did great with our both our cats and our Corgi. A true gem! We will definitely book her again.”

“Dana is awesome! She has such a warm and welcoming presence. She was extremely attentive to both our cat and dog, sent the perfect amount of updates and check ins, and our house was in perfect condition when we got back. Our animals thoroughly enjoyed Dana’s company and will be absolutely be using her as our pet sitter again!”

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and thoroughly enjoy caring for and loving them. I feel as though I can connect with them and understand them and their needs. I have 3 dogs of my own currently and love being active and going on fun walks with them. I’m available almost every Monday-Sunday any time after 1. Let me know your schedule and/or needs and I can work around/find time for you! Thanks! I thrive off of organization and preparation, especially when it comes to animals. I am willing to listen to your wants and needs for you pet and how you want me to do things.
“Stephanie was amazing! She watched my young puppy for 12 hours while I was at a work event. She took him on several walks, played with him, and even helped train him to stop nipping. She provided me with some tips and left me with a training tool. She provided updated and pictures throughout the day.”

About: I've always been a big animal lover, I have experience alone with my 19 y/o Chihuahua and all the friends we've made along the way I'm currently working a seasonal job which ends at the end of the year so I have the free time to do something I enjoy I have a variety of experience with different breeds starting from small to big and from dogs to cats to birds and iguanas to chinchillas

Megan was absolutely wonderful was our precious pup! Felt like she truly cared for Kona and enjoyed her time with her. I trusted her completely with my home and she left it so clean and tidy. I absolutely give my highest recommendation for anyone who is looking for someone special to take care of their special furry one!!

Isabelle was simply amazing again and we can’t wait for her to watch our 2 pups again soon! She always keeps us up to date on how our pups are doing, sends pictures and ensures that they are simply loved and cuddled nonstop ❤️ We trust her wholeheartedly and feel very lucky to have found her to watch our little fur babies. Thank you so much Isabelle!
Victoria is the best! She is very responsible, stayed in communication with us, followed all instructions and when we returned Chloe was so relaxed and happy. I could tell that she was well taken care of. Highly recommend and will be using her again and again.

Stephanie was amazing, as always! She made us feel so comfortable leaving our two pups for a quick overnight stay. She sent the sweetest photo updates & kept us informed throughout. Our pups love her & we are so thankful for the ability to leave them without worry 🐶🐕

Katie is seriously amazing! She is smart, kind and took such great care of our dog Teddy while we were playing golf. Teddy absolutely loves her. She sent updates with photos, and treated Teddy like her own. We came back to a happy, relaxed pup. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience for both Teddy and ourselves we were so relaxed knowing Teddy was so happy. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

We had a last-minute need for a sitter for our brand new puppy, Leo, and as first-time Rover users, we weren’t sure what to expect. Kylee was amazing! ✨ She was punctual, attentive, and took such great care of our little guy. 🐶 She sent us photos throughout the day and kept us updated on how he was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. 🐾 We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be using her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
