Jade is great! We can’t wait to have her take care of our dog Maya again. Jade was very understanding and accommodating as was the first time we had someone other than family or friends watch Maya. I would recommend her to anyone on Rover.

Erin has watched my dogs several times over the years and, as always, did a great job communicating, sending photos, and most importantly taking care of my dogs for two weeks. Also left the house in great shape.

Margaret was a wonderful sitter for our pup! She took her on a couple walks, played with her and gave her ample belly rubs, which she so adores. It’s clear she was well loved and cared for and we would certainly have Margaret back again!

Emerson was an amazing sitter for our two girls. I got daily updates, came home to a clean home and didn’t worry one bit while we were away. We came home to two very happy doggos and will definitely book again. Thank you for taking such good care of our girls and making it so easy to enjoy our vacation. We appreciate you!

About: Animals have always been a constant source of comfort and joy in my life. From the time I was born, I’ve been surrounded by pets—starting with cats, then adding a cheerful bird to the mix, and later sharing my home with multiple dogs and even a reptile. I've also had experience watching over friends and family members pets while they are away. Each experience has deepened my understanding of different animal personalities and how to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m attentive to their routines, responsive to their needs, and committed to providing a calm, nurturing environment while their owners are away. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own and take pride in ensuring they feel secure and cared for. Beyond pets, I’m very much a homebody at heart and truly value a comfortable, cared-for space. I’m naturally clean, considerate, and compassionate toward any home I stay in. With a career in graphic design, I work fully remote, which means I have the flexibility to give plenty of time, attention, and care to your pets and home. Friends and family describe me as dependable, detail-oriented, caring, and easy to communicate with. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, keeping up with routines, and administering medications, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I do not offer house sitting in my own home. When house sitting for others, I take detailed notes on expectations, requirements and rules to ensure that your fur baby and your home are being cared for at the fullest capacity. Daily check-ins are provided, and i'm more than willing to do anything additional to ensure that you feel at peace while you are away.

Julie is truly the best. She stayed in our home with our dog for 4 weeks while we were abroad. She updated us and sent pictures of our dog all the time & let us know what they were up to!! Our pup can be stubborn and a bit reactive at times, but Julie was amazing with him. We were nervous to leave for so long, but we came home to a very happy dog and spotless home. Would definitely recommend Julie to a friend or family member and of course will be using her ourselves in the future!

Rachel took care of our two pups and cat for a little over a week, and because we’ve hired her now several times, I didn’t worry at all - even when there were some tummy problems, I knew she’d take the best care. Our pets are super sweet and gentle and the extra TLC she provides is exactly what they need!

Lydia was great, took our request last minute and was really easy to work with in coming to see the house and meet the pets. Lydia was easy to communicate with on our trip and made it easy to be away. We came home to a well taken care of place and happy pets. We will connect with Lydia again for pet and house sitting.

Olga and Natalia were a great team taking care of our cat and home for two days. They were great communicators, left the house perfectly clean, and sent a steady stream of photos while we were away. Our kitty is shy, so it's a great sign that she was very friendly right away and was curious and present throughout the visit. I highly recommend this team -- one organized and communicated, while the other did the house and cat care. Many thanks.

Our doggies were lazy and calm when we came home — that’s a huge compliment for a dog sitter. Brandon is a lovely houseguest. Not even our cat had a complaint. (Brandon is one of the few visitors with whom our cat has a special relationship.) Our flight home was canceled, and Brandon rolled with the punches to stay an extra day. Whew! His flexibility made a stressful travel situation a bit less stressful. Thank you, Brandon!

This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous at the thought of leaving my dog with someone he/I didn’t know but McKenna was the BEST person I could have booked. We did a meet n greet and from the first interaction it is clear she absolutely loves doing this. She is so personable with both animals and humans. All my worries completely went out the window! She provided updates, photos, and communication about anything that came up. My boy had a less than ideal grooming issue crop up and she offered to take him in for an appointment and did so happily! She also left my place super clean, which allowed me to soak in all the time with my dog upon my return. Definitely will be booking her again!!
