“Rachel did an amazing job and she left my home better than I left it, lol!!! She was attentive and communicates everything and lots of pictures! My boys loved her and I felt like I could enjoy my time away! I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her again! We love her.”
“We have never left our two dogs alone together with someone because they don’t always get along well! Sarah was a life saver by taking care of them separately to keep them from from getting into arguments, even if that meant playing with them and taking them potty completely separate. Really double the work!! She was in contact with me multiple times a day and let me know when any issues happened!! She was able to manage both my cranky old yorkie and my strong pitbull ! I will only book with Sarah again in the future !”
“We are very happy return clients. Richard always takes great care of Mimi when we are away - she loves the long walks and attention that she gets from him! Richard is also respectful of our home, reliable and trustworthy.”
“Lindsey was amazing over a full weeklong stay with my crazy band of pets. She provided excellent care for my two big velcro dogs with anxiety and two cats (one of which requires a daily pill and additional care). Great, regular communication with pictures and left the pets and house in better shape than when we left! Would definitely recommend.”
“Pam took great care of our young Scout and kept us informed throughout our trip. Pam left the house spotless and was very patient with our puppy.”
“Mansa was great - our dog loved her, she was prompt, great at communication, we would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
“Suzy was fantastic - provided ample updates/photos and did a great job with my dog. She was super communicative and I always felt in the loop with regards to walks, feeding, etc. Thank you Suzy!”
“Adina was fantastic with our puppy. She was well taken care of and loved. We will definitely be booking her services again!”
“I’ve had three other dog sitters from rover before, and they’ve all been truly amazing. Shereen, however, was the best sitter I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Our rescue dog is incredibly challenging, high energy, strong, petrified of strangers, and reactive; but Shereen won her heart over, took amazing care of her, handled everything our dog threw at her, sent amazing pictures and updates, knew exactly what to do, and even managed to train her in being less leash reactive! Thank you Shereen for being so amazing! If you can hire Shereen, do it!”
“Sade quickly became our two dogs best friend!! She was so great with the dogs, followed all of our instructions, took great care of the house, and had great communication and photos. What more could you ask for?! Would highly recommend working with her and we’ve already re-booked with her because she’s so great!”
“My usual dog sitter was out of the country and I chatted with Tori to see if she would be a good fit. My large GSD did great with her and I would highly recommend. We will keep Tori on our rotation list of dog sitters!”
“Erin is amazing! She went above and beyond and you can tell just loves animals! I am so happy I found someone who I feel loves my dog as much as I do. I would 11/10 recommend her if you need an amazing sitter to watch your fur baby!”
“Carrie was excellent! Our dog is a little shy/timid but really warmed up to Carrie. Carrie is also very communicative and sent updates/pictures several times each day, which is always reassuring. Additionally, she was a very respectful and tidy guest! We would love to have Carrie back the next time we need a sitter.”
“We had Kylee stay at our house to take care of our two puppies on the weekend. She is very conscientious in her duties and responded to an issue by asking the on call vet for advice. We were extremely happy with her care.”
“Nicole rocks as always!! Cooper loves her!”
“Alston was fantastic! Our dog gets very nervous around new sitters, but Alston put her at ease right away. She was incredibly responsive and kept us updated multiple times a day, and even made a special pup cup for our dog on Christmas and washed the sheets before she left! We were really able to relax on our vacation, knowing that our dog and home were in such good hands. We’ll definitely book with Alston again!”
“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”
About: I grew up with dogs and currently have a great lab mix. Most of the dogs I've been around have been higher-energy hunting dogs and know how to work with dogs of various disciplines. Caring for pets is essential part of my daily and weekly routine, and I couldn’t imagine it any other way! Each day, I prioritize scheduling plenty of time to provide a tentative high-quality care for the pets. I work with whether it’s morning walks to start the day, midday visits to keep your furry friend, active and happy, or evening, cuddles for comfort, my routine revolves around, ensuring every pet feels loved, exercised, and cared for. I plan my schedule to align with your pets needs, allowing me to be flexible and accommodating. Pet care isn’t just a part of my day, it’s the highlight of it! When caring for pets in my home, they’ll enjoy a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment. With a fully fenced in backyard your pup has plenty of space to play, explore, and stretch their legs under my watchful eye. Inside, pets can relax in a cozy clean space with plenty of love, attention, and care to their tailored needswhen visiting pets in their own home, I ensure they feel secure and maintain their usual routines. From feeding and walking to playtime and cuddles, I make sure their daily needs are just as you would. I treat every pet like my family, whether at my home or yours, and strive to create an stress-free experience.

“Kellie is excellent, I wholeheartedly recommend her! We just returned home from a week long trip in which Kellie lovingly cared for our pets. Positive attributes: first and foremost, she clearly cares a lot about animals. Also important, she was on time, did exactly what she said she would do, and took fabulous care of our animals during our vacation. With all of the pictures and messages, I didn’t even worry about them. Thank you, Kellie!!!”
“Raakhee was AMAZING! I have an opinionated Shiba/Husky mix who doesn’t like everyone, but she loved Raakhee! Both my dog and my home were well cared for and Raakhee was very communicative, sending updates with pictures and videos. It was such a relief to not have to worry about my dog while we were away. I would hire Raakhee again in a heartbeat and recommend her to anyone reading this! She was a fantastic sitter!!”
