“Katherine did a great job watching all of our animals. She was able to handle multiple days and nights with multiple pets and could handle complex instructions and gave them the best care. Would definately use again”
“Daniel was amazing! He agreed to watch Jc last minute which was a huge blessing! I would 100% recommend Daniel as he made sure Jc felt safe and loved!”
“Good communication. Willingness to do a meet and greet and house sit on short notice was a life saver. Rachel and family seem to really love pets and get to know their personalities. Our animals were all happy when we came home.”
“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Allison took great care of our house and our dog. She was responsive (sent lots of cute photos of our dog), followed the care instructions we left, and left our home in great shape! We are so happy that we found someone trustworthy to watch our dog. We look forward to having Allison stay with our dog in the future. We definitely recommend booking with Allison!”
“Anthony and Mackenzie were great! We loved getting all the photos and videos of our pups enjoying their sleepover with their new friends and the pups really seemed to enjoy their weekend. They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!”
“Christina did a fantastic job watching the house and dogs! The dogs were well taken care of, all the instructions were followed, and she was very conscientious with respect to watching the house. Highly recommend!”
“Aaliyah watched my two cats while we were on vacation. She went above and beyond taking care of them & our home even though my boys put her in some tough & unexpected situations. There were late nights, early mornings, and lots of phone calls & texts messages. I'd definitely book her again if she'd accept me!”
“This was our first experience with Rover. Jenna kept us updated with sending us pictures of Sophie, and was quick to respond to our messages. She also left the house picked up, with the garbage taken out, and the bed sheets in the wash!”
“We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here! She always sends us updates and photos and I feel very at ease when we are out of town and she is here. Highly recommend.”
“Monica was great. Very professional, communicated well, and took great care of the house and our dog. Will definitely be on my list for future sitter or dog walker needs.”
“Yasmin took amazing care of our sweet girl for 5 days. She was meticulous and adjusted to exactly how we needed Juniper cared for. She sent updates every few hours and made me feel at ease being away.”
“Sophia is so good with our older cat and dog. When we added our older cat to our family she didn’t blink and just cared for and loved our old boy. She is very accommodating to our travel schedules as well.”
“Andrea stayed at our house and watched the sogs over a ling weekend. She gave us updates on the pets, was on time, met with us before she watched the dogs and asked great queations about their routines. I will for sure use her again if we need a dog or cat sitter.”
“Jane was great with our two cats, who are not best friends so their cat politics can be a challenge sometimes. They were happy and calm when we got home, and they really enjoyed enrichment and having human and puppy company around. She took great care of our home and made sure to ask for clarification on any household things to check on as well. Thank you, Jane. Being gone is so much easier when you know your fur buddies are well taken care of.”
“Meghan was amazing with our boy. Followed instructions very well and made our baby so happy! Worked with us on a missed connecting flight, I appreciate her so much! Will be booking again next time we travel!”
“Raelyn took excellent care of our Lab while we were out of town. She provided lots of updates with pictures and very communicative with us. We have already rebooked her!”
About: I worked throughout high school at a humane society, focusing on puppy and adult dog care, also writing grants for the foundation. Since then, I’ve had three dogs—one Canaanite Shepherd and two huskies. I also have a lovely turtle at home named Zoom! Animal care is part of my daily life, and I strive to give my animals (and yours!) the best life possible! I currently work from home most days, so I can be fairly flexible with my schedule (given enough notice). I am happy to work with your and your dog’s needs! While I don’t offer care in my own home, I am happy to visit your home to let your animals out and get them some exercise!
“Maddie was awesome! She took great care of both of my dogs and kept me updated the entire time. She made me so comfortable while I was away and I knew my dogs were having such a great time! I would definitely book with Maddie again and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy dog sitter. She goes above and beyond! ?”

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!
Emily was absolutely incredible. She took such thoughtful, attentive care of our girls. Throughout our entire trip, she went above and beyond, asking for clarification when needed, sending regular updates, and giving us complete peace of mind. When our flight home was delayed, she didn’t hesitate to stay flexible and make sure the girls were comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend her to anyone.
Shelbi did an amazing job house sitting and caring for our dog. Our dog can be pretty anxious when we’re away, but we felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. Shelbi was communicative, reliable, and respectful of our home. We came back to a happy dog and a well-cared-for house. We’d absolutely book with her again!
Sophia was wonderful! She understood our older dog and took wonderful care of her and the house. She even placed her used towel in our laundry area which was such a thoughtful move. Couldn’t be happier with care Sophia took or our little dog and house. Will welcome her back again!
Jane was a wonderful house guest. She treated our dogs like it was a Disney vacation. Sent loads of photos and kept us updated all weekend. She even took this call last minute. We were very thankful to keep our dogs in their home and not boarded. I would recommend Jane and will definitely be booking with her again!
Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨
Allison did a fabulous job! She’s great at keeping our pups in their routine while we’re gone and makes sure they get everything they need, along with extra loves. It’s so amazing to come home to content and relaxed puppers, just like we came home from a day at work! Allison asks excellent questions to ensure she’s meeting expectations, sends great updates and takes care of our pets and home like they/it were her own.
Jordyn was fantastic! She was very communicative before, during, and after the sitting, so I was never left wondering what was going on. She and my babies totally connected and it left me feeling very confident to leave without worrying. She's very personable and I trusted her immediately. She will be my go to whenever she's available. Thank you Jordyn!
Amethyst was a huge help for us - stepping up when our other sitter had to cancel on short notice. She took great care of the pups while we were gone. We got several updates throughout the day, along with several pictures of the kiddos. We will definitely keep her in mind for the next time!
