“Tiana really did a nice job with our pups while we were away. They got out and about and were very well treated! The house looked great upon return and the dogs looked happy! We appreciated the frequent pics and updates while away too. Great professional sitter, excellent job overall!”
“We just had Megan stay with our two dogs while we were on a family vacation. From the get-go she was a great communicator. We were confident leaving our pups in her care with her personal experience as a dog owner, and her work experience in the vet world. While we were gone she provided frequent updates and lots of photos of the pups! She’s been great to work with thoughout our experience, and we would definitely have her back for more dog/house-sitting in the future! Would highly recommend her pet care to others :)”
“Sydney did a fantastic job being with our dog, Della. She shared comments with us while we were gone. This made us feel confident that the care she provided was important to her. We would definitely ask Sydney to care for our dog again! Thank you.”

“Jessica was amazing from our first messages to her stay with my animals. Initially, I asked for references as I previously had a terrible experience on Rover and she was quick to provide me with the numbers of people she has sat for previously (with their permission). At our meet and greet my animals immediately took to her and her to them, and she was so comfortable even with their high excitement and noise levels. ;) During her stay with them, she kept in touch regularly with me and sent me so many pictures which I loved. I could tell she loved my animals which is always what you want from their caregiver. <3 My home was clean when I returned and, far more importantly, the animals had clearly been very loved on and wonderfully cared for! I recommend her so highly!! She is wonderful and my animals agree! :)”
“Emily is so sweet and kind, we loved having her help us. I appreciated having her watch our pup while I was out of town. I have never had anyone outside of family house sit for me and was nervous. Emily took all my nerves away, she kept me updated throughout her stay and my home was as clean as I left it. Would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Pam was everything we could have asked for in a sitter and more! She immediately recognized our rescue’s anxiety and quirkiness and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable. She was very communicative and sent lots of wonderful updates while we were gone! We were able to fully enjoy our time away knowing that our dog was in incredibly kind, capable hands. We would love to work with Pam again!”
“Jennifer was fantastic with Ollie! He loved her right away and I felt very comfortable having her care for him. She gave me updates and sent pics throughout the stay which I greatly appreciated. Excellent first sir and would certainly have her sit again!”
“Tonisha has taken care of our pups before for drop in visits and walks. This service was for overnight and as usual, she did an outstanding job! My pups love her so we know they are always well cared for:)”
“Louisa was excellent! She was so thorough in our meet and greet making sure she was aware of any and all needs Ollie might have. Ollie loved her right away which made me feel very comfortable. Louisa was great at communicating and sent pictures during the sit which I appreciated. Highly recommend her and will certainly have her care for Ollie in the future!”
“Our first Rover experience was today with Shatoria. She did a great job keeping us informed and sending some pictures. Chief transitioned easily to our return. Will definitely hire her again (actually we already did, twice). Excellent service and from a very nice professional person. Highly recommend!”
About: I have experience caring for pets, having grown up with them, and I am available with a flexible schedule throughout the summer months. I would be happy to assist if needed. I am currently a teacher on summer break and have availability to assist with dog walking, provide daytime or evening companionship for pets, and house sit if needed! I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether it's going for walks, playing fetch, or simply offering affection and companionship. My priority is always to ensure pets feel happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Jayde watched my dog Riot for 3 nights while I was on a trip. She followed all the directions I gave her. She sent me daily updates and pictures where Riot looked very happy and snuggly. When I got home, Riot was in good spirits and my house was cleaner than I left it. Couldn’t be more thankful to know my dog was in good hands while I was away.”

Courtney was amazing! We had a Rover sitter cancel on us threecdays before we were supposed to leave on vacation. Upon contacting her, she came to meet our fur babies. Courtney picked up Gracie and kept her at her house. Several times, she came to my house to check on Daisy, our cat. The pictures she sent showed that Gracie had a great vacation. I am so thankful for Cortney!
