“Highly recommend Bryttin for any pet sitting. She sent updates throughout the stay, left my house cleaner than it was when she arrived, and arrived when she said she was going to. I will definitely be using her again the next time I need a sitter!”


“Brittney did a great job taking care of my dogs and house sitting. She even offered to stay an extra night if my plane was delayed. She kept me updated daily with photos and text about how they were doing. I highly recommend Brittney.”


“We have five cats (one elderly) plus a dog and Hound did a great job caring for all of them for a weekend. The house was the way we left it, dishes washed and boxes scooped. I would highly recommend him, he is a clear animal lover!”


“Olivia did a great job with my two pups, one of whom was older and needed a little extra care and patience. She met with the dogs about a week before I left to answer any questions I might have. She sent pictures and communicated with me, if needed, otherwise left me to enjoy my vacation. All in all, she did really well with the dogs.”


About: Hello! My name is Hiley! I have 6 years of experience taking care of cats. I grew up with many cats in my household and started to help take care of them when i was 13. I have taken care of cats with illness, special needs, and pregnancy. I have taken care of newborn kittens all the way to senior cats. I am very confident and comfortable being around and helping take care of many cats at once. I feel I am very experienced with taking care of cats and can’t wait to help care for yours! I am currently working a part time job from 9am- 4pm, so l'll have plenty of time to help take care of your pets! I am available after 4pm on the weekdays and all day during the weekends. I have a very flexible schedule that also allows me to do overnight stays! I specialize in cat sitting. I will come in and make sure they get their food and water and bathroom breaks. I'll play with them to make sure they're feeling happy and energized. If I stay overnight I’ll check on them many times during the day, feed and play with them. Making sure they’re alright and feel comfortable.

“Katelyn was super helpful taking on a last minute request to watch our dog and two cats. She was very responsive with communication and reliable handling multiple feedings and walks a day. We are grateful to have her close by and definitely plan to book again!”


About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.

About: I have cared for many dogs over the years. I love taking our Mokes to meet other dogs and exercise areas to meet new pups! I am also comfortable administering medications, and have been a nurse for many years. I love taking our dog everywhere I go and your dog would be treated, just like my own! Throwing a ball and long walks are what every dog loves, so let me help you with your busy schedule! I’m currently working full time during the day, most weekdays. I am available evenings, on the weekends and most all holidays! I can be very flexible with last minute needs. I have one very friendly chocolate lab, that loves to have new playmates! I can also easily crate your pup, if that’s what you prefer. We love to take walks to the nearby park and play fetch. I also like to watch animals in their own environment if that is where they are most comfortable!

“Gabby did a great job dog sitting and house sitting! She updated us daily during our trip which put me at ease that our pups were well cared for. Our house was clean when we came home as well. We would definitely welcome Gabby back to watch the dogs again!”


About: I am comfortable caring for any dog - no matter the age, breed, disability, or size. I have worked the past 2 years at a doggie daycare, and my responsibilities have ranged from watching 1 dog to a group of 60+ dogs; from small dogs to big dogs; from puppies with lots of energy to senior dogs who need specialized care and medication. I am currently job-searching, so I will have plenty of free time to care for your four-legged best friend! Day or night, I can make time for your dog. I have had experience with injuries and other medical needs for dogs. I also have experience with different feeding routines, so no matter how complicated your dog’s meals are, I can figure them out. With my own dog, I typically enjoy a laid-back day full of cuddles, fetch, and playtime. But I can adapt to any dog’s lifestyle!

“Lauren was available in a pinch! The dogs loved her and enjoyed their time. Our home was kept well and we received photos and updates regularly even in the short 24 hours. We recommend Lauren and will book with her again!”


“We booked Tyla for house sitting our small “zoo” (2 dogs, bird, and fish). She was kind enough to do an in home visit prior to the job just to make sure it was going to be a good fit. She was kind, professional, well-spoken, and was very good with the dogs. Both our dogs are rescues and one has severe anxiety, especially around strangers. Tyla was patient and kind and it took Sadie no time at all to warm up to her! It was very comforting to know our dogs and house were in good hands while we were away. Tyla also gave daily updates and photos which were very nice as we really miss them when we are away. She took great care of the house as well and it was very neat and tidy when we arrived home. So nice after a long trip! We will definitely use Tyla in the future and would recommend her highly!”


“Britny is my first Rover house and dog sitter experience and she did not disappoint. After recently losing my husband, I was nervous about having a stranger look after my 5 dogs and be in my home for a few days while I was traveling. Britny scheduled a meet-and-greet to discuss the scope of the house and dog sitting needs to assure both parties were a good match for one another. Upon arriving, she immediately connected with my dogs and put them at ease shortly after walking through the door. This rapport carried over to the official house sitting experience, and I could see how comfortable and loving the dogs were toward her in the daily photo and text updates she sent. She took on the individual care and feeding nuances for each dog seamlessly, and proactively reached out with any questions or concerns when she noticed something different with a dog’s comportment. She also took excellent care of the house while I was away and left it immaculate when she left. She went above and beyond by also coordinating someone to mow my lawn, which was tremendously helpful! I highly recommend Britny for multiple dog house holds and longer trips, and I will be using her again in the future.”
