“Joy was absolutely wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having a dog sitter come to our home, and Joy made the experience so comfortable and stress-free. I could tell right away that Skye was treated with so much care and love. Joy kept us updated, took great care of her during walks, and was very attentive and thoughtful. We felt completely at ease knowing Skye was in such good hands. We will definitely be rebooking her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🥰🐾”

“Dogs love Jacob because he makes their time together magical! My dog would smell him from a block away before their walks and get so excited. I highly recommend Jacob and his outstanding way with dogs!”

“We went on vacation for a week and a half, and Gabriela stayed overnight with our 2 cats during that time. She did a great job taking care of them and giving us updates. Our cats take a little bit to warm up to people, but they warmed up to Gabriela pretty quickly and seemed to enjoy her company. She made sure to ask clarifying questions for anything she wasn’t sure about, and the house was very clean when we returned home. Would absolutely recommend her overnight services.”


“As a first time rover user, we picked an awesome sitter in Danyel. She kept our 1 year old busy all day and Luna seems to have taken to her very quickly. We did a great job fast meet and greets so all were ready to go. Great job! Very happy and definitely a do again when needed.”


“Stacey was wonderful! Sweet Pea had a wonderful time while we were away! She had a spa getaway week and was very well taken care of and loved on. So thankful we found such a wonderful person to watch our little girl! Thanks so much Stacey!! Wouldn't hesitate to rebook!”


About: I am blessed to have been able to grow up with dogs. They are my world. From puppy care to senior care, I can promise you the best for your loved ones. I work part-time and would love to get the opportunity to take care of your loved ones. Due to the nature of my job, from weekdays to weekends my availability is very open. I am so excited to get to know you and your fur babies!! With years of experience in dog walking, feeding, and training, I understand that pets need proper love and care to thrive. I prioritize creating a safe environment that keeps your babies stress-free. I am very communicative and will adhere to their usual routines while taking lots of pictures so you are confident in my care for them!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, which has shaped my understanding of their needs, routines, and personalities. I’ve always been involved in caring for my own family pets, including feeding, walking, and giving them consistent attention. Beyond that, I’ve pet sat overnight and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, family, and others. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a strong sense of responsibility and feel comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. As a college student home for the summer, I have a flexible and open schedule, including weekdays and weekends, and I’m happy to help with last-minute needs. I’d love the chance to spend time with and care for your pets! When taking care of pets I like to keep things consistent with their usual routine by making sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get regular walks, and plenty of attention and love. I aim to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
“Kaili took excellent care of my shy, anxious dog. She kept me informed and sent great pics and videos. She obviously formed a warm bond with my dog. And she left my house spotless. Thank you!”

“Tianyu (Scarlett) was absolutely incredible! From the start, she did a meet & greet with our dog Lola and asked thoughtful questions — setting the tone for just how attentive and caring she is. She house sat and cared for Lola for 5 days, sending detailed daily updates and photos that gave us total peace of mind. She was also extremely responsive whenever we reached out, and when we got home, the house was spotless. Truly above and beyond care — for both Lola and our home! We’d absolutely recommend Scarlett to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet and home with the utmost care. We’ll definitely be booking her again! 🐾”

“Estela was very professional and friendly towards our dog. Somehow our dog instantly bonded with her and even though he has separation anxiety, with Estela he was quite comfortable and calm. I would like to request her service again.”

“Michelle did a fabulous job caring for our Ellie girl! She was even willing to endure some middle of the night potty breaks. We came home to a happy, healthy girl and a tidy house. We will definitely use Michelle again in the future!”

“Tracey was phenomenal from the first meeting. She stayed with our 3 rescues for 9 days and not only took care of their basic needs, but made them feel comfortable in our absence. Their individual quirks did not phase her at all. Tracey had the desire to understand each dog and know how to best care for and interact with each one as they are all very different from one another. Upon our return all 3 dogs were calm and happy and had clearly been well cared for; in addition our house was left spotless and organized. Tracey is a professional and uses her extensive experience with dogs to provide exceptional care to the dogs lucky enough to stay with her.”

“Monica did a great job house sitting for us and taking care of our kitty Greyson who has stage 3 kidney disease. Due to his illness Greyson’s main diet is wet food and he needs to be fed several times a day with meds mixed in. This was not an issue for Monica. Under her care Greyson thrived. He looked healthy and happy. We so enjoyed the updates Monica sent to us every day. The photos and videos attached to the updates always made us smile, sometimes we laughed out loud by Greyson’s antics and expressions captured in them. She also cut Greyson’s nails for us, something we had trouble accomplishing on our own. Besides taking excellent care of Greyson, Monica kept the house in good order. She is a vey capable and compassionate pet sitter. We felt fortunate to have found her.”


About: Hi! I’m a psychology graduate student and lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and administering medications. I volunteer in animal-assisted therapy at a local shelter and love making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I welcome pets and families of all backgrounds and identities! As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. I always follow your instructions closely and maintain your pet’s normal routine to help them feel secure while you're away. I provide care in your home, where your pet is most comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Samoyed, which has given me a strong understanding of large-breed dogs, their energy levels, grooming needs, and daily routines. In addition to Samoyeds, I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to follow care instructions closely. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level, whether that means energetic walks, gentle playtime, or simply providing calm companionship. I also help reinforce basic routines such as leash manners, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and medication if needed. Since I work part-time, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets the time and attention they deserve. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. I work part-time as a dental assistant, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. This allows me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins thoughtfully throughout my day and week. I only accept bookings that I can fully commit to, so pets always receive attentive, unrushed care. Pet care fits comfortably into my routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending my free time caring for dogs and cats. I care for pets with a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Whether in the pet’s home or during visits, I follow your instructions carefully, ensure the environment is secure, and supervise pets at all times. I pay attention to each animal’s needs and personality, providing food, water, playtime, or rest as appropriate. I also send updates to keep owners informed and reassured.
“Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! She was prompt, attentive, and detail-oriented, quickly picking up on our cats’ unique personalities and making them feel comfortable right away. She followed all instructions exactly, provided thoughtful and witty updates that gave us real peace of mind, and communicated clearly throughout our trip. Not only did she care for our cats as if they were her own, but she also left our house spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Diana was very nice and professional. She gave me peace of mind while I was away for 6days. She was very patient with my senior dog , my other dog that has really bad anxiety and with me ! She sent me photos and kept me updated. I already recommended her to all my family and friends that also have dogs. I am definitely going to rebook with her again !”

Elizabeth was AMAZING with our pets! My Maverick is not the easiest dog to come around as a stranger, but Elizabeth managed to establish a good rapport with him. She took notes during our first meet and greet which went a long way in giving us peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a spotless house, and she provided updates on the pets just the right amount… Not too often and not only when I asked. I am usually very nervous when I spend more than a few days away from the fur babies, but Elizabeth made it so easy to feel secure knowing my babies were in good hands. THANK YOU, Elizabeth! 10/10 will be booking again!

A great experience! Using our cat manual, Alison made sure our two cats stayed on their normal routine. She followed instructions and gave us the best photo updates. Alison was very attentive to our cats' needs and kept our home spotless. We appreciated the thoughtful care she put into her stay and will definitely rebook her again.

Sarah has been taking our reactive dog on walks and earning trust with him. We finally booked a dog sitting stay for 4 days. Despite his last minute medical need right before the trip (which required her to give daily medications & wear a cone), she took on the challenge & did amazing. Our dog really seemed to trust & appreciate Sarah’s company & she made sure he got lots of attention, meals & walks. She was also very respectful of our house & left the place immaculate. We will definitely continue to hire Sarah & felt such relief to know our fur baby was in such good hands.

Etta was really great with the animals while we were gone on our trip! She cared for two dogs and two cats and even stepped up last minute for us! Everybody was happy, well cared for, and we got great updates and pictures! I hope she can take care of them next time we are gone!
Danyel went over and above all expectations. She not only took excellent care of our American Bully, she kept the house clean and plants watered while my husband and I were gone. Danyel also kept us informed and sent pictures several times a day. We definitely recommend her services.

Monica stayed with our 5.5 year old boxer, Fig, for 10 days while we went on a vacation with family. This is the longest time we’ve both been away from him, and we were nervous! Obviously, we shouldn’t have been. We came home to a super happy, healthy dog, and a very nicely kept house. Our biggest worry was that Fig wouldn’t eat while we were away (he gets excited about new people, and has some digestive issues when he puts off eating) but Monica managed to get him to eat well the whole trip! Monica sent a bunch of great photos and videos every day in the evening so that we would see how he was doing, and he was clearly having a ball. She took him on a bunch of very successful walks, even though Fig has some leash reactivity about other dogs, and she took him on a bunch of adventures to go hiking along trails and to the beach! It was really nice to see that Fig was having a fun vacation with Monica while we were on our vacation. Monica is really great about communication, and was super accommodating of requests that we had. She accommodated a friend of ours coming over to the house to use one of the offices as a remote work space during the week, as well as a request from our neighbor pertaining to some hatchling birds she was concerned about. Definitely above and beyond what I would consider required of a dog sitter. Fig clearly had a great time with Monica, and we came home to a healthy dog and a tidy house and we’re very happy with our experience of her as a dog/house sitter, and will be happy to book with her again!

Austin is a very enthusiastic person for pet caring. He communicates very active for usual or unusual discoveries and very experienced in providing good support for our lovely furry family member when we were not home. Our dog loves him and you can feel his great passion when interacting with our dog.

Jamie took great care of my dog and made me feel comfortable while I was away. She was reliable, attentive, kind, patient, and very sweet with him. My dog seemed happy and well cared for, and it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
We found a gem in Maria! She took special care of our dogs and our home while we were away for a family wedding. We felt comfortable and confident leaving our dogs. Maria was happy to meet with us several times before our scheduled trip; once in the park and twice in our home, which made us feel that much more confident. She sent pictures and anecdotes two or three times a day, which we just loved. We will definitely use Maria again and we recommend her to anyone who needs a terrific dog/house sitter!

Kaili was great! She watched our two large dogs for two nights at our home, and we couldn’t have been happier. Our dogs have a lot of energy and definitely come with their own quirks, but she handled them so well. She kept us updated throughout her stay, was very respectful of our home, and left everything clean and tidy. We would absolutely book with her again. 5/5 stars!
