“Cannot recommend Jessica enough! It was our first time using Rover and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent photos. She also made sure we got home and was willing to adjust her schedule in the case of unforeseen delayed flights/ travel plans.”
“Julia was great! She has great communication and gives updates on the dogs with pictures, which is nice to have while away. I am excited to have found her and have already re-booked for future dog sitting!”
“Taylor is so wonderful with our spoiled little boy. He has a sensitive little heart and takes him a minute to get used to people, but they were really good with him and we got pics and updates🐾❤️”
“She wonderful”
“Amy was a caring and fun cat sitter for Cal and Cookie. She played with them and sent pictures and messages while we were away. She also left the home clean and ready for our return. Thanks Amy!”
About: I grew up in Alaska running around the woods with family dogs and even cared for a few litters of puppies in the house. I have over 1000 hours of experience in dog and cat sitting. I've sat for Tibetan Terriers, played tug-o-war with Italian Mastiffs, watched movies with Pit Bull mixes, rolled in the grass with Golden Retrievers , played tag with Labs and booped noses with Beagles. My current apartment does not allow dogs, so I thought this would be a great way to help folks out and get some doggos back in my life. I can match your pup's energy level and I'm comfortable administering medications and following special care instructions. I work mornings Monday through Friday, so even on weekdays I'll have plenty of daylight time to go on walks and play in the yard. My present schedule is completely flexible, and I can even be with your pet 24 hours a day, if you let me know ahead of time. I'm happy to come give your lil guys the time and care they need. Building trust with a pet is so important, and I love the process of getting to know a new fuzzy friend at their own pace.
“My first time using Rover and I was so anxious but Tina made me and the animals feel 100% comfortable, even our cat who usually hides from visitors snuggled up to her right away!! I loved receiving daily updates and pictures and the communication was so great. Came home to a clean house and very happy animals! I can't say enough how happy we are with Tina.”
“Dana is a real pro! We had her house sit with our two dogs for a week, and she was so amazing. Her attention to detail in advance, asking us questions we weren’t even thinking about, made us so comfortable leaving the dogs at home. She was very responsive with our questions as we were away, and was very capable to handle things that popped up, sending us just a few clarifying questions as we were away. She was a fabulous house guest as well, and left the place spotless upon her departure. We are excited to know that we have a trusted caretaker for our pets whenever we are away!! Thanks Dana!!!”
“Claire is attentive, communicative, and caring. My animals seem to enjoy her presence and are always calm when I return which I believe is a sign of her diligence. I'm so very grateful. ❤️”
“Alexia was a great communicator and she was trustworthy. I really appreciated her responsiveness! Would have her housesit again anytime. Thanks, Alexia!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I had her housesit with my dog and cat and she was phenomenal. She was so attentive to them and made sure they were very well cared for and looked after. Not only that but everything was exactly how I it left it in my house. I also got regular photo updates and messages. I would definitely trust her to watch my pets and my home again!”

I promise to give your pets all of the love and snuggles they need to keep them from missing you too terribly. :)
“Hanein was a lovely and attentive pet sitter. Super communicative, easy to work with, and my pups were well taken care of. Even helped me with a last-minute medicine that I didn't expect to be needed during their sitting. I would recommend Hanein!”
“My doggies (2) hate to be alone, We as the parents were extremely anxious about leaving them overnight with anyone other than family. She did a fabulous job! She did everything we asked her to which basically was “have a slumber Party with our girls”. She was prompt in responding g to our texts and sent us photos. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”

“Thanks for watching the bubs, they seem like they had a good time! I will put in a request for you for my trip in September and let me know if your schedule aligns.”
“Caitlin helped out with an in-home sit for my dogs while my wife had to fly home for family issues and I had to work a 24 hour shift. It was short notice but she was more than willing to accommodate and my shy Golden was obviously very comfortable with her. Thanks so much for the flexibility and taking care of my crazy fur kids once again. We will absolutely use Caitlin again and highly recommend her for your pups!”

“Jesse has been a very trustworthy, reliable, and caring companion to my Maltipoo-Pomeranian every time I’ve had to leave town for the past 4 years. Jesse is communicative, honest, accommodating, and flexible. Jesse’s love and knowledge of animals is very apparent, and my dog instantly warmed to him, despite being somewhat shy. Leaving my dog is always hard, but it’s so much easier knowing that Jesse will offer him the attention and care that he deserves.”

“Sophia cared for my pug, Louie, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like leaving him with family. She followed his feeding schedule perfectly, and even sent me adorable photo updates.

18. Jeremy M.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jeremy M. as a dog sitter. He’s taken care of my dog, Roger, multiple times, and Roger can be pretty picky about who gets near him. This is the same dog who usually distrusts new people, who turns his nose up or tenses at anyone who tries to come close—and yet, somehow, Jeremy broke through all those barriers. The first time Jeremy met Roger, he approached with such calm and kindness that I watched my normally wary pup melt into a tail-wagging, happy bundle, and jump up on Jeremy to hug him! They’ve been fast friends ever since. The way Jeremy interacts with animals is something special: he’s patient, understanding, and genuinely attuned to their needs and moods. It’s as if he can sense exactly what they’re feeling, and he never pushes a dog beyond its comfort level. Instead, he builds trust gradually and naturally, so before you know it, your anxious or protective pet is happily playing, snuggling, and simply being themselves around him. Watching Jeremy care for Roger, I’ve seen firsthand how much dogs respond to his gentle presence. Jeremy is absolutely the kind of person you want looking after your family member. If you’re looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and genuinely great with pets, do yourself (and your dog) a favor and book Jeremy. Trust me—your pup will thank you.”
