“Cara is a highly reliable dog sitter, and did an amazing job with our 3 dogs while we were away for several days. We received daily cell updates and images, and when we came home, our house appeared even cleaner than when we left it! We give her our highest recommendation!!”


“Paige did a great job! She updated us very frequently on the status of our pups, with plenty of adorable pictures! She not only took great care of our dogs, but she also left our house in the same condition as when we left. We barely could tell anyone had been there!”


“Paige was great from her initial visit with Buster up until we got home. She proved us wonderful pictures and updates of Buster while we were gone.”


“Haley is amazing! The communication before and during our stay was perfect. She was so patient and kind with our anxious girls. She sent many pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay. We felt very comfortable and happy knowing they were safe with her, and we returned to very happy and loved puppies.”


“Kathie was wonderful with my dogs! She is kind, reliable, and my pups absolutely loved her. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!”


“Cyndi took wonderful care of our fur babies while we were away! She checked in with pictures often and kept me fully in the loop about everything. Her daughter played with our dog which made us feel like he was having fun too while we were away. I came home to spotless house- trash taken out, floors swept, and clean linens. We will 100% use her services again in the future!”



“Daijanique was so nice and took fantastic care of my house and dogs! My dogs absolutely loved her and she kept me up to date while I was gone with pictures and videos of them. Thank you Daijanique for taking care of my babies and my home ❤️”


About: I have been around animals, especially dogs my whole life. I have three labs and my one lab has had puppies before so I have been around puppies as well. I have had big dogs and small dogs, so i’m comfortable around any size. I have pet sat for neighbors/family/friends etc. I am pretty flexible towards the afternoon and night. I am currently finishing out the semester, so in 2-3 weeks I will be a lot more free to do more drop ins! Not looking to pet sit at my house, but am available to come to drop ins! I can take your pets for walks/ play fetch/ feed/ and just hangout!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life till now. So I miss the puppy love and walks for sure. I can administer medications. (Oral as well as shot) I can sit the dog and your house while you relax knowing your babies are safe with someone trustworthy. I work early in the mornings usually so have time for afternoon walks and spend the night times with your animals. I’m very trustworthy and flexible and know how people are with loving and caring for their pets. I have two cats that don’t socialize with other animals. And I have a special needs birdy. I can dog or kitty sit in your house no problem. I’ve also been on a health journey so the more walks the better!!

“Megan was wonderful! She was able to help out with our animals at the last minute- less than a week before our scheduled trip. I often get nervous leaving my dog at home because he can be a little anxious when we leave, but Megan was able to stop over and meet him a few days beforehand- which was super helpful. She took such great care of our dog and cat, communicated regularly, and was very kind. I never had to worry. I would 100% recommend Megan to care for your pets and your home while you’re gone!”


“Chirstina watched my two dogs overnight for the first time, and they already like her more than me. Total traitors. Perhaps she'll come watch them more often!”


“Jeanne was wonderful. I've never used a dog sitter that wasn't a friend or family so this was my first Rover experience. I'm so grateful that I found Jeanne and I would definitely use her again and recommend her for others. Jeanne took exceptional care of my boys. My neighbors were even texting me during my 8 days away, telling me how great she was with our labs. When one of our labs became sick, Jeanne kept me updated and ended up taking him to the vet. She had to administer meds and deal with a sick dog and was so gracious and kind about it. I knew my dog was in good hands and could relax even though I was away and he was sick. Under her attentive care, he was better by the time we got home. In addition to the love and care she gave our labs, she fed the fish and our house was clean and orderly when we returned. I can't say enough about Jeanne. If you want a responsible, caring, clean person with great communication skills to care for your pets, pick Jeanne. Just don't book her when I need her. 😉”


“Lydia is amazing!! She’s watched our fur baby many times, always goes above & beyond. She even helped us out last minute. When we’re away I feel at ease knowing our dog is in good hands with her. She even sends pictures & gives updates on how everything is going. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!!”


“It was great being able to enjoy my mom on Mother’s Day knowing our pets were in such good hands. Thank you so much Jennifer”


“Jeannine was an amazing sitter the animals were very happy when I walk into the house they were still interacting her. The house was very clean which was very helpful. We were in constant contact which reduced any stress that I had, and Wow, the pictures were beyond belief. Thank you for all the help!!!”


“Ronnie is such an amazing dog sitter! She came in and asked everything she could to get to know Duncan and even did a visit prior to our needed services! She went above and beyond to take care of Duncan and make sure he had everything he needed. Definitely recommend her and will be using her services again!”


“Ashlee took on a two dog household for a week long stay as a dog and house sitter and did an amazing job. She was great at communicating before the stay and throughout the stay, and she could problem solve little things to not disturb me on my trip. Ashlee provided the dogs with exercise above what was asked, she cleaned up the house before she left (including the not so fun task of picking up poop from the yard!), and she kept my mind at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to book!”



“Samm is 100% reliable. She’s great with animals. She’s an excellent communicator. She’s flexible in providing whatever services we think our pets need. I don’t know what we would do without her.”


About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I have a deep love for all animals and have had dogs in my life since I was young. I have fed dogs on a set schedule, walked them, and have helped dogs learn basic commands. I love dogs of any kind and will provide the best care! I also have experience with cats, and the cat in my profile pictures is mine! Her name is Milly and I have absolutely enjoyed life so much more since I adopted her in 2021! I work from home and am out and about for work constantly! That makes me availability pretty open through out the day. Weekends I am free. I am able to crate your dog if needed and will make sure they’re safe while they are in my care. I will do my best to make your dog feel safe with me while you’re gone!
