“Jessi was great! I felt at ease knowing she was taking care of my little Joey. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was very communicative . We’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Christine was a terrific dog sitter for my 7 year old terrier mix, Sis this weekend. She checked in with me and sent me pictures of Sis to let me know how much fun they were having. It was very easy to trust Christine at my home with my dog, and her love for animals is very apparent! Will book again!”
“Josh was great with all three of our dogs. He was communicative throughout the weekend and we never worried. Beyond that, he took amazing care of our house even going above and beyond to help when we got a giant snowstorm while we were gone. I would highly recommend Josh.”
“Autumn was very responsive to my booking request and was nice enough to come to the house and meet the dogs prior to the booking. She seemed to do well with the dogs and was a very respectful houseguest. All in all a great experience”
“Clare was so wonderful! She took such great care of our 5 year dog (and house) while we were out of the country! She sent us updates and photos and loved on him so well! It gave us so much comfort to have her here while we were so far away. I will also say that this was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have been more pleased to have had Clare as our inaugural pet sitter and we for sure will use her again! She put us at such ease by coming over and meeting us (and our dog) and asked great questions and helped us through that process as well. We highly recommend her!”
About: I have been pet sitting , including house sitting, since high school! I love all animals and have experience with dogs and cats of all ages! I have taken care of special needs animals before as well - including medication injections and senior care. I’m entering my final year of graduate school so I am beginning a phase of most writing my dissertation and other computer work! Because of that I have a very flexible schedule! I’m happy to work with you to ensure a situation that works best for your pets! For any check in services (dog walking/check in visits) I will provide message communication upon entering and leaving the house! For stays at your house I will communicate throughout the stay to update you on how your pets are doing!
“Randa always finds a way to go above and beyond in her care for our pets. She puts the pets’ needs above everything else and is a great communicator, so we have no stress when we are out of town!”
“Jess was great, our flight was delayed so we were late. Jess was very flexible and offered to stay until we got home. She did a fantastic job with our dog! Jess is someone you can count on.”
“Michael is the best! He always takes such great care of Coop, and it’s so reassuring to know he’s in good hands. Recently, Michael stayed overnight with Coop for the first time while we were on vacation. He kept us updated with pictures and messages, and it was clear Coop was having a blast!”
“Betsy took great care of our pups while we were away! She knew what to do when our one pup had some GI distress. The pups loved the attention and snuggles and we plan to have her watch them again in the future!”
“Coryn did a really wonderful job sitting with my coonhound. I needed a sitter at the last minute. She immediately responded. She arrived on time. She was courteous, kind and professional. She bonded immediately with my coonhound. That was such a relief. She kept me informed throughout the day with text messages and pictures. My coonhound was happy, relaxed and so calm. I will definitely hire her again. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have cared for pets for over 20 years. I’ve had dogs since I was 20 years old and also worked in a veterinary clinic while I was in college, where I gained hands-on experience in animal care and behavior. I currently volunteer with the Humane Society, where I help care for animals in need. I also enjoy spending time with my friends’ and family’s pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playtime, or keeping your pet company, I’m dedicated to providing loving, reliable care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule and can provide care when it’s needed — whether that’s daily visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s home, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. In My Home: I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment with lots of space to play, relax, and feel at home. I follow your pet’s usual schedule as closely as possible — including feeding times, walks, playtime, and rest. I limit the number of pets I care for at once to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. I also send regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away. In Your Home: I respect your space and care for your pet just as you would. I stick to their regular routines, give them lots of love and attention, and keep everything clean and tidy. I can also water plants, bring in mail, or do light home tasks if requested. Most importantly, I make sure your pet stays calm, comfortable, and well-cared for in their familiar environment. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow any special instructions or routines to keep them happy and healthy.
“The girls love Teri as do I I came home to a clean house and happy pups . Communication was fantastic and received lots of pictures also I already booked her again for another overnight !”
“I highly recommend Haylee to take care of your pets. She did a couple drop in visits and an overnight stay. I currently have a young, 65lb mixed-breed foster dog named Roger. While Roger is sweet, he can be a bit of a handful, can be high energy, and has a strong prey drive. Haylee had no problem handling Roger. She took the time for Roger to get comfortable with her and showed good dog handling skills. She was also punctual and communicated well.”
“Rafael took exceptionally good care of my two dachshunds for nearly two weeks. They were well fed and well exercised every day. Even the one who resists walking beyond the bottom of the driveway would walk blocks with him. He spent a lot of time with them. In addition, as he stayed in my home, I returned to a house that was exactly as I left it. I could not have asked for a better sitter. I will certainly ask him back in the future.”
“Jackson did a wonderful job caring for my two active, young dogs and my house. He was communicative, reliable, flexible, and warmly engaged with the dogs, and all seemed well with the animals and house when I came home. I would happily have Jackson dog-sit again.”
“Jessica was awesome! This was our first time letting a stranger (we did meet ahead of time) house and pet sit! She made it easy to do. We trusted her right away! Loved her updates and pics of the dog. It’s wonderful to have someone stay in your home w your pets so they aren’t stressed by leaving or alone too much. I’m so grateful for Jessica! Thank you!!”

I was very comfortable leaving my two young, active dogs with Jackson for the second time. He is relaxed with the dogs, friendly to me, and was very accommodating in coming by to reacquaint himself with the dogs and house since he hadn't been here for a long time.

Anna saved us with a last minute booking & was more than accommodating! As soon as we met her & saw her interact with our doggo we knew he’d be in the best hands. She was so sweet & caring, quick to respond, & updated us during her stay. Can’t say enough great things about Anna! We love her! Our buddy can’t wait to hang out with her again. (:
