“Johnathan was great. Took good care of Henry and he can be quite a handful at times. Loved getting daily updates and photos. The house was very clean when we got home. The only thing that disappointed us was the strong oder from the dirty liter box upon return. As I mentioned in my notes, Henry likes a clean liter box and it should have been cleaned before he left and our return. Johnathan is very sweet and treated Henry with love and kindness. I would definitely hire him again and absolutely recommend him to others, and have to my friends we vacationed with as they vacation alot and may need a sitter one day for their fur babies. Thank you Johnathan.”
“Audrey is a gem! My dog was unwell while I was away and Audrey handled everything so perfectly and with great calm. She took such good care of my fur baby and I am so grateful. Will continue to look to Audrey for my dog’s care!”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Matilda was absolutely wonderful with our babies! They were kind, reliable, and clearly cared for our pups like their own. We came back to 4 happy and well-cared-for pups—couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend!”
“Alex was awesome! Being gone for a few days from my babies was so hard for us but She would update me on how our babies were doing by sending photos. All around I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future!”
“Matt is the absolute best!! Very sweet and kind to my 13 year old black Lab. From the meet and greet I could tell Matt was very sweet to my Lola and empathetic to my anxiety of leaving my elderly pup alone. Matt was very attentive to following the list of directions for my pups eating and med routine and was so kind to send me updates each time food, meds and potty breaks happened. Matt sent tons of pics all day. Already booking Matt for my next trip. Thank you Matt you are an angel.”
“Dee was fantastic. She knows how to handle animals. She will spoil your best friend while you are away on your vacation. We were away for 9 days and normally we would have felt the need to contact past sitters to check in, with Dee we did not. She sent us pictures and gave us updates through the Rover app. Our house was nice and clean when we arrived back home and nothing was missing (HONEST DOG/HOUSE SITTER) hard to find. You will be happy you selected Dee.”
“Alyssa house-sat for us, watching our senior dog and cat, and they loved her! She was very communicative and put our minds at ease while we traveled!”
“Leo housesat for our many pets and did a wonderful job. They were communicative, sweet to our pets, and very respectful of our home. Everyone seemed very well cared for and we really appreciate the care!”
“Aylene was so great when it came to our shy puppy. He needs someone who is patient with him and accepts his fearful behavior, and she did exactly that. She sent me updates and sent pictures that helped soothe being away from him. I would absolutely book her again for Zeus.”
“Olivia is a great communicator and regularly updated me with photos and texts. I felt very confident that my dogs and cats were well cared for and would absolutely recommend Olivia to take care of your fur kids.”
“We had a wonderful first experience working with Yun through Rover! From the start, her communication was excellent — clear, prompt, and reassuring. She was incredibly thorough and attentive, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and understands dogs. Our pup was in great hands, and it showed. We especially appreciated how considerate and caring she was throughout. Looking forward to booking with her again soon!”
“I almost don't want to leave this review because I want Tara to be available to watch my dog Charlie at any time ;) Tara was AMAZING!! She sent updates every day and was very engaged with Charlie. Tara was respectful of the rules that we set for Charlie and it was obvious how happy he was to have her around. 10000% would recommend.”
“Sabrina took such good care of my pups who get really bad separation anxiety. I hired her to watch them while we took a day trip and they got plenty of attention. They were happy dogs when we returned home.”
About: I’ve had pets and pet sat since I was 9! I’ve had my own cats and cat sat! I had a giant mastiff and owned a show bunny through high school! I I’m going to school for Animal Science and Veterinary Sciences so I’m trying to get as much experience around more critters. I’ve had a cat who had multiple surgeries so I’ve had to administer medications and help soothe anxious animals. I work at a hospital Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday. So the rest of the week I am able to have a lot of outdoor time with pets. My patio is completely closed off and I have a grass patch and flower bed. All the plants I have are 100% dog and cat safe!
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats with special needs since I was in college. I also have extensive personal experience with caring for senior pets. I'm currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pups. I'm available for visits 7 days a week and boarding Thursdays through Monday. I have a fenced yard and 1 senior doxie who loves to go on walks and play in the yard. I am meticulous when it comes to caring for pets. Their safety and happiness are my top concerns.
“Carla did a great job watching my dog Ponto and kitty Snowball. She sent great photos and kept us very updated. We would definitely have Carla come watch our pets again!”
“Amazing to work with. Friendly and professional!!”
About: I love to spend as much as time as possible with your babies! I have been pet sitting for over 15 years. I have sat overnight with up to four large dogs and up to four cats. I have taken care of senior pets as well, having administered insulin to a diabetic senior kitty. I currently have two part-time jobs, which allow me the time and the freedom to pet sit. I can pop over between jobs or before and after my short shifts. I rarely work doubles, and if I do, I would not commit to pet sit. I make sure to keep a very strong eye on small animals when they are outside in any capacity as this is coyote country. I tend not to let cats out at all, unless given specific permission. Your pet's safety is my highest priority.
“Kris was once again an excellent sitter for our dog! She kept in contact with me each day with updates and a picture or two of our dog. He was happy and well cared for and our home was clean and tidy. Kris has been our faithful dog sitter now several times and I highly recommend her!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life, and I have always known my love for animals would lead to a career I would love. My neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I have cared for dogs of all sizes, cats, lizards, snakes, and hamsters. I currently have no other responsibilities taking up my schedule, so I have as much time as needed to care for your pets! I'm free to do overnight care any day. I want to keep Tuesdays free, but I am flexible. After introducing myself to your pet, I will let them get to know me and play with them a bit. Considering the owner's expectations, I will ensure the pet is comfortable and ready for the set-out plan: food and water, any medications, brushing, any cleanup necessary, walks, and, of course, playtime! I update the owner and send pictures of their happy pets.

Hassana C.
“Hassana is a great pet sitter. I always have her take care of my Siamese cat (who’s very demanding for a cat) and he LOVES her. She’s currently studying to become a vet and I think this is her calling. She’s very passionate and delicate when it come to taking care of animals in general. I think she’d be a good fit as a pet sitter.”
Darcy H.
“Darcy is the BEST! She is kind, dependable, & trustworthy. I never feel worried when leaving my 3 dogs in her care. They are always well taken care of & loved in my absence! I also very much trust Darcy in my home. She really is the perfect caretaker for your fur babies & pets!”

TALLY G.
“Tally is an animal lover to her core. She’s not flashy or over-the-top—she just genuinely cares. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, you’ve found her. Tally takes the time to get to know each animal and really tunes in to what they need. She’s dependable, down-to-earth, and it’s clear that being around animals is where she’s happiest.”
Kris B.

Lilli L.
“Lilli was an absolute gem with our dog Tesh! From the moment we met her, she was warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about pets. She took the time to learn Tesh’s routine—his favorite walking route, how he likes his treats, even his quirky habit of chasing his tail before bed. Throughout the stay, she sent us adorable updates with photos and little notes that put us totally at ease while we were away. Tesh came back happy, healthy, and maybe even a little spoiled from all the love! Lilli’s reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond—I can’t recommend her enough.”
