“Jessica was a wonderful pet sitter to our older cat. She was able to do a few overnights so our cat wasn’t lonely. She actually stayed longer than scheduled because of a snow storm. Our house was left tidy and communication was good throughout our trip including pictures. We would use Jessica again.”

“Mary house sat for us and was fantastic! She is extremely reliable, is easy to communicate with, and took great care of our home and kitten. She was patient with our shy kitten and left our house looking better than how we left it.”

“Cameron did a great job watching our two dogs, which are pretty active throughout the day. I appreciated the time he invested in playing with them and sending us frequent communications on how things were going.”


About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.
“Emma stayed with my cat Patrick for a week while I was in another state for work. Patrick needs some special attention and takes daily medication. She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!”

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

“Jenny stayed in our home taking care of our 2 dogs - one dog is recuperating from a leg injury and she did a great job ensuring our girl got her exercise and rest. Jenny is dependable and communicates regularly. Highly recommend!”

“Samantha came to my rescue after my original house sitter had a family emergency. She took wonderful care of my dog Eddy and my cat Lily. Both pets were relaxed and content when I returned home. I would definitely have Samantha sit with my pets again!”


“Kaitlin is phenomenal! She took excellent care of our fur babies while we were traveling. She followed instructions and reached out with extra considerations. We felt secure knowing our pups (and home) were in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her to others.”

“Saige was so wonderful while we were gone! She took excellent care of our pups, sent pictures and updates! I will definitely be using her again. Such a peace of mind having her here.”

“Baleigh took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She provided check-ins with pictures, which was so appreciated. We asked her to housesit as well and she left things tidy and exactly as we left things. I highly recommend Baleigh!”

“Claire took excellent care of our pups and the house. She was very responsive and kept us updated throughout our trip. The house was tidy and well kept and the pups were happy when we got home.”

About: I have always loved dogs growing up and playing with them brings me a sense of joy. I have dogs of my own and I always make sure that they are loved and cared for I currently work as a receptionist part time, so I’m free anytime to love, play, and take care of your pets whenever it’s necessary for you! At my home we have an electric fence, but we also have leashes for our dogs and others friends incase we have company over there
About: I love all animals. I’ve primarily had rescue cats & dogs and wish I could save them all. I’ve bottle fed abandoned kittens and rescued pregnant cats. I have experience with an abandoned, abused and anxious dog who needed patience and compassion on a daily basis. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs from tiny chihuahua’s to large labradors & Dobermans. Each one with a personality all their own. I’m retired and I’m looking for a meaningful way to fill my days. I’m available most of the time, although I do love traveling when I can. I will follow every instruction you have in order to provide exceptional care for your pet in your home. My Rover reputation is based on you & your pets happiness!

About: I have over two years of experience working in a dog boarding facility, where I developed strong skills in animal care, supervision, and handling dogs of all temperaments. I am currently pursuing my Veterinary Technician degree, further expanding my knowledge and passion for animal care. In addition, I have provided trusted house and dog sitting services through personal recommendations and referrals. I genuinely love working with dogs and plan to dedicate my career to caring for and improving the lives of animals. A dog fits well into my weekly routine because I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and companionship. I enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. Incorporating a dog into my routine feels natural, and I’m able to provide them with the attention and structure they need throughout the week. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. While dog sitting, I make sure pets maintain their normal routines, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and affection. I prioritize each dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being, and I always keep owners updated with photos and communication for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, caring environment where dogs feel happy and secure while their owners are away.
“Shelby took great care of my kitty while I was away. She stayed at the house with Arthur and everything was in order when she left. Arthur was very happy and relaxed when I returned from vacation!”

East Independence pet parents share their Rover experiences
Nina was delightful. She immediately greeted our pets when she came for a meet & greet, asked good questions & took notes. We really appreciated that. She was a great communicator during the pet/house sit. Our pets were very happy when we got back home & she left our home in great shape. We will definitely request her again to care for our pets & home.

We would highly recommend Torie as a house sitter for your pets. She gave us updates, sent photos and loved on our two dogs while we were on vacation. It was so nice to know they were well taken care of while we were away. We have had her stay with our two dogs numerous times and will request her again in the future.
