“Salem did absolutely amazing. We had a last minute booking and she was so easy to work with. She treated my dog with such care and showed my boy so much love. I really appreciate her staying with my dog for 3 nights and she treated my home with respect. I highly recommend booking her!”
“Tram did a great job of caring for my dog while I was out of town for a weekend. She followed instructions well and sent lots of updates! Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“Avi stayed at our house for a whole week with our dog, Grace. She followed our instructions and left our house looking fantastic! She even took the sheets off of the bed. We have already re-booked Avi for our next trip.”
“Jennifer cat/house sat for my two cats. She was amazing with them and they both loved her. She kept the house incredibly clean and was very communicative, kind, and authentic throughout the whole process. I was very grateful my cats were in her hands so I could fully relax while on vacation knowing they were more than taken care of. Thank you Jennifer!!!”
“Sherry took such great care of my fur baby while we were out of town. She was patient with him and followed the instructions I left. I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: Caring and friendly dog lover who gives lots of attention and exercise. I have a havenese at home who needs almost constant attention, he loves to go for walks in the woods and play fetch. I have lots of experience with smaller and older dogs. I have a lot patience for older dogs especially, my previous dog lived till he was 15 and needed constant care. I am available during the week and most weekends, and can house sit if necessary. I have a dog with medication and dietary needs. I have lots of experience with administering all types of pills and other forms of medication or dietary needs. I will make sure your dog and home are well taken care of while you are gone. I am allergic to cats, but can house sit if need be depending on the living situation for the cats. I prefer feeding, watering and changing litter boxes instead of house sitting. I am in between careers at the moment, and have lots of time to walk and house sit. I am open to all hours and days. I live in a house with a giant backyard. I can provide crating if necessary. I am also open to house sitting so your pet feels more comfortable.
“Gretchen was wonderful with our GSD Roxy. This was our first time with Rover and using a sitter. Gretchen made the process less daunting. She was responsive to texts and meet up. She took the time to get to know Roxy and us and helped us feel better about leaving Roxy and our home in her care. Gretchen kept us updated throughout our trip and met all of our needs - best plus is Roxy adored her which helped us feel comfortable. Would highly recommend Gretchen and hope to use her services again!!!”
“I highly recommend Aspen H. for dog/house overnight sitting! She just sat for our two dogs and did an excellent job. Aspen followed our instructions to the letter and had the extra responsibility with caring for our senior 13 year old. Our sheltie receives medication and has to be carried up and down the many steps to reach the backyard for bathroom breaks. Our shep mix has anxiety with thunderstorms and Aspen took this in stride. I was shocked to see that Aspen washed sheets and towels before leaving! Aspen had the patience with my welfare text checks and demonstrates warmth and understanding in her communication. She has a sweet humor and clearly loves animals. Thank you Aspen and Rover for making our trip possible!”
“Camille was incredible with my two older dogs. They are quite needy and she handled all of their quirks and special needs with such great care. She watched them at our house for a week while we were out of town and left the house cleaner than when we left! She gave us updates and sent pictures and videos throughout our time away so we knew the pups were doing alright. I highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs!”
About: I can’t have my own dog right now, so I’d love to hang out with yours! I grew up with dogs (puppies to old dogs) and I have watched friends’, neighbors’, and family members’ dogs for them. I am responsible and will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I work on campus ~9-5 pm (M-F), but my schedule is somewhat flexible if hours need to be adjusted for the pet. I am available all day on weekends and most weeknights. I am a responsible PhD student and will do my best to take care of both your pet and your home and follow any specific guidelines from you. I will take your dog on a run in the morning if you’d like, and I’d love to play with your dog/cat. :) I’m also happy to transport your pet in my car.
About: I am a research tech looking to help out in my community with four legged friends. I am happy to hang out with a couch potato elderly dog or take a high energy pup on a long walk! I have two dogs of my own— one of which is a senior dog with severe arthritis. I understand the daily challenges that comes with and how that impacts owners! I love going on walks and if the dog knows how to play fetch I will play all day long- I also know a couple tricks I could teach them!

“Alex has been our pet sitter for 5+ years. He has lovingly taken care of our aging pets! Our old dog, especially, needed extra TLC and Alex was always willing to go the extra mile (slowly, very slowly for old Bodie!). Bodie needed meds, and wound care, and Alex was tender and patient with him. He has even won our cat over, she greets him when he comes in the door. Alex has always been prompt, responsible, and quick to communicate when scheduling, or while pet sitting. I highly recommend Alex to take care of your pets.”
