“We have used Luis multiple times for house sitting services and will continue to book with him when we travel. He is caring and attentive to our dogs, 2 golden retrievers. He always sends photos throughout the visit which gives me further peace of mind while traveling that my fur babies are happy and being taken care of.”
“Chunli was wonderful with our dog Luna! She stuck to her schedule perfectly. We have a document of various information to help with dog care, Chunli followed every detail and asked any questions she was unsure of. She communicated with us clearly about her schedule and provided photos and updates on Luna.”
About: I have been walking and petsitting dogs for over 15 years. I am happy to help you and your dog(s). From big to small I can handle it all. Love walking around outside in beautiful SD and being in nature. Bringing your furry friend along with me will just make them that much better. All animals are different and I am willing to acclimate and accommodate to whatever helps make you and your furry friend feel safe and comfortable.
“Yelena was amazing! My normal dogsitter bailed last minute before a long international trip, and Yelena was able to step in and take great care of my dog, and earn her trust. I can’t recommend Yelena highly enough and would contact her for future trips.”
“Marie has been an unbelievable sitter for my dog ! We met Marie before booking & I loved how kind she was to him, he absolutely loves her ! Marie is so attentive to the needs of my dog & the services we need. Her attention to detail coupled with wonderful picture & video updates makes me feel so secure knowing my pup is in safe hands whilst I’m away with work for a few days or need a walk / drop in. We will continue to use Marie & highly recommend her services !”
“I contacted thomas on short notice as the person I had previously engaged cancelled at the last minute. He was very responsive and came by to meet Obe and Bubs the same day. Obe is very happy to meet everyone and can be a handful, Thomas was very calm and patient with Obe. Obe also had had an accident a couple days before and had 16 staples in his leg. Thomas was able to balance the needs of Obe being high energy but needing to take it slow due to the injury (which meant more walks since he couldn’t run like he loves to) and Bubs who is 17 and takes everything slow. Thomas took great care of them both and even took Obe to the vet to get his staples out while I was gone. (He actually had to take him twice since the first time they said the staples needed to be in longer). Thomas also took great care of the house, he watered the plants that needed care and the house was in excellent condition when I got back. I would 100% recommend Thomas and would use him again when I travel. Thanks for taking such good care of my boys!”
“Cary did an outstanding job taking care of our house and our energetic Cattle Dog! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring and responsible dog sitter!”
About: Friendly & Reliable! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 25 years of experience caring for pups of all breeds and personalities. I currently have a dog of my own and regularly pet sit for four wonderful families. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or extra cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Reliable, calm, and attentive—I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved while you’re away. Because I work from home, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for quick drop-ins, walks, or extended stays. I love having the flexibility to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and comfort whenever they need it. I provide a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to give each animal consistent attention, affection, and a sense of security every day.
“This was our second time using Nataliya and certainly will not be the last! Our naughty dog and old cat are both clearly very comfortable and feel at home with her. She sends so many videos and photos and never leaves us wondering how things are going. She is a great communicator and very flexible! I somehow mixed up our travel dates and we came back a day later than I had booked for, and she was more than happy to accommodate! It is very clear that she treats our pets as her own and we felt very lucky to have her there!”
“This was our second time using Eli and he was great! Very good communication and daily updates with pictures of Kopi! I’m sure Kopi will be excited to see him again soon and know we feel very comfortable having Eli watch him!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Being around animals has always been a big part of who I am, and I truly enjoy building trusting, loving relationships with the pets I care for. I’m a dedicated animal lover who adores both dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed while their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, paying close attention to their individual needs, routines, and personalities. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or quiet companionship, I always provide patient, reliable, and attentive care. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind and ensure their pets feel happy, loved, and well cared for at all times. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine, as I am fully available and able to dedicate my time and attention to caring for pets. This flexibility allows me to focus on each pet’s individual needs, including walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine and ensure they receive consistent, attentive, and loving care. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, whether they are in my home or in my client’s home. I make sure they are fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I pay close attention to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and comfort level to help them feel safe and relaxed. I also keep the environment clean and secure, follow any special instructions provided by pet parents, and always prioritize the pet’s safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“Beckie is great! She’s so easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Bonny. She also was very considerate of my home! I am so grateful to have someone who I can trust to care for Bonny when I’m away.”
About: I’m a dog mom who trained my own puppy and after cooking puppy food for my own dog, I am now developing a dog food topper product right now! I’m in between jobs so I have plenty of time to help you out! As a digital nomad, I have the flexibility to look after your beloved furry friends if you’re traveling or working at the office. For house sits, I would need to bring my pup with me and can crate him so that he has his own space. I’m also a trusted house sitter and have been invited back to many guest homes for longer term stays as a considerate and respectful human who never shows up empty handed and always thoughtfully helps others. I’ve even purchased automated vacuums for hosts before to remove their dog hair faster than they could clean.
“Mari was a great help, very gracious & took care of our dogs and our home wonderfully. Dogs had a major accident on day 1 (horrible way to start a stay!!!) and Mari quickly communicated the issue and handled it without problem. We are grateful for that and giving us peace of mind while we were gone. Thank you!!”

Marie took on a big order to support our furbabies. Marie stayed in our home with our new puppy, very geriatric dog, and our sweet husky. Plus 2 cats. What she provided was support for a family healing post breast cancer, caring for her furfamily in very challenging stages at the same time. We were provided beautiful videos, kind and compassionate words, that eased the stress to allow her healing. We are so grateful to Marie.
I am so grateful for Christi! We had a sitter cancel at the last second right before Thanksgiving and thankfully Christi was available! She did a tremendous job taking care of my GSD while staying overnight at my house. She kept me up to date with how my dog was doing and I felt at ease knowing she was in good hands. Will certainly reach out to Christi next time we are in need.
Brooke did a great job on her first of hopefully many nights with my two babies. She had to administer meds to the older one and he seemed to take it better from her than me. They seemed content in the pics she sent throughout my trip. My home was in great shape when I returned. We are using Brooke again!
I was very very happy w the care provided. My dog was so well cared for, loved and given good walks while I was gone. Jeff was conscientious about following the instructions I had laid out for him. Very good experience for my dog and no worries/concerns for me when I was away. Also communication and picture were sent daily.
Arun was terrific with our pups! Great communication and pics throughout his stay which we really appreciated. He followed the feeding and walk schedule we left for them and made sure to give our one dog his meds each night. Also left the house clean and tidy. We recommend Arun for any walks and/or overnight dog/house sitting. Would book again!
Again, we always enjoy our time away knowing that our dog and cat are happy as can be while nataliya is watching them! She gives them tons of attention and love. We really appreciate all of the videos and photos and communication! Absolutely will have her back ♥️
Oleksandra is great. My dog loved her immediately and felt safe and comfortable with her. She stayed at home caring for my dog all day, updated me with photos and details about my dog’s day. She was very attentive to his medication and his needs. I’m grateful for Oleksandra’s help.
Jill was great. We met beforehand to get familiar with Remi and get to know our neighborhood. She shared great update pictures during her stay and took Remi on great walks. This was our first Rover experience and we were extremely happy with Jill and will use her again.
