“Jean was awesome with out three year old Frenchie while we were gone for the week. He was happy, she sent us lots of pics and got lots of dog walks and snuggles. Jean also did an amazing job of keeping our place picked up while she stayed here and we highly appreciated it. It really made coming home after a long week, relaxing and fun to reunite with our buddy!!”

“Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.”

“Rachel helped us out very last minute (24 hour notice). She made time to visit us in person prior, was very communicative, warm, and professional. We would hire her again in an instant.”
“Caroline was amazing. We really appreciated her ability to deal with insulin injections and asthma inhalers. We didn’t think we would ever be able to find someone willing to take that on. She did a great job and everyone seemed very happy.”

“Jessica was AMAZING with house sitting our pets!! She was very thorough with all the pets and extremely detailed oriented. She provided both written and photo updates of our 2 dogs and 3 cats daily and sometimes multiple times during the day. She would ask great questions while she was house sitting, and if I needed to reach out to her she was highly response. I would not hesitate asking Jessica to housesit again. Jessica is definitely a 5-star pet sitter and house sitter!”

“Amy took excellent care of our two dogs and our home for 10 days. Amy was reliable, responsive, kind, and respectful. She followed our instructions and had outstanding communication. We would absolutely love to work with Amy again.”

“Christine was absolutely amazing. She took great care of our two dogs and gave us lots of updates. She was incredibly flexible with our changing plans and is just a lovely human to boot! We will definitely be booking Christine again.”

“Lindsey was so helpful in making sure our dogs felt comfortable with us out of town! One of our dogs needs some supplements and medication and she made sure that he was well taken care of everyday. She made sure to pay attention and spend quality time with them and give them potty breaks when needed! We also really appreciated all the pictures (: Highly recommend!”

About: Experienced dog bather, sitter, and owner. I can handle any dog big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, giant breeds, etc. Although I will not cut hair, with my grooming experience and with a willing dog I can trim nails and bath if needed. I have a dog park down the street if that is a part of your dogs routine. I have a large availability if sitting is needed for multiple days. I work 2 days a week but am flexible. I will be able to take on multiple day sitting with minimal time away from your dog/home. I understand dogs with specific needs and instructions. My pup is also particular, so please dont be afraid to let me know your needs and I can work with you to give your pup the best experience. I dont have a fenced in yard but I do live very close to a fenced in dog park, as well as walking trails directly next to me. I have a large car with a dog seat cover in the back if I need to take your pup to bark at the park. I prefer to dog sit in the clients home where the pup will be most comfortable but am willing to watch in my own home if its the right fit.
“I got to know Liz because she frequently walks a neighbor’s dog. This allowed me to be comfortable enough to let a dog sitter stay at my house for the first time ever (weird, I know). I have no regrets! Liz is kind, caring, reliable and an excellent communicator. Her daily updates always included a pic of our senior dog, a 15 year old rescue who usually came home sick after kennel stays. Chloe is deaf so it really helped that she was sable to stay in her own environment. My house was left in perfect condition. I definitely will be using Liz again IF I can book her because she is VERY popular.”

“Jennifer is wonderful! Our dog is happy when we return home and our home is clean, just the way we left it. This is our second time hiring Jennifer and we will definitely hire her again.”

“Julianne was a great house sitter / pet sitter for our kitty. She cared for him during a nearly 3 week vacation in May 2024. She stayed in communication with us throughout the trip and always gave me a sense that our cat was cared for with affection and love. Took great care of our house and yard which doesn’t require a whole lot but was a comfort while we were away. I especially appreciated that Julianne is retired and could really spend most of her time here. Highly recommended!”

About: Had cats and dogs since I was small, only really started taking care of them fully when I was about eight. Then we also had chickens who I loved dearly, and have since loved. Now I have been petting sitting word of mouth for a lot of people, taking care of large and small dogs, cats, cows, donkeys, chickens, goats and more! I love animals dearly and its a huge honor whenever someone lets me take care of their darlings. I am a graduate student who has an open schedule outside of writing work. Which I can do while taking care of your critters. My other responsibilities are too my baby sisters and making sure im not leaving the house empty. I love taking dogs on walks through the neighborhood and giving indoor cats the play time they desire. I always clean up after any messes and can do more if the client desires. For large animals I will do mucking, brushing and other chores you might need. I will only let dogs off leash in fenced dog parks, otherwise we walk together and enjoy the woods. Animal boundaries make a lot of sense to me so I'm good at giving animals space when they need it. Grumpy cats end up being my friend more times than not.
“I have a reactive dog who struggles to meet new people, especially men. And wow! I was totally blown away by how Robert used such confidence and gentleness with my dog. He was able to snag Winston to the dog park for the first time in years successfully. I am honestly so grateful and surprised to have found such a solid dog sitter. I cannot recommend booking him enough!!”
“I almost hate to write this, because Karen may get so busy that I won’t be able to book her! I can’t say enough good about her. Probably the best part was that she had my really anxious/antisocial pup relaxed in no time—and it was July 4. Fireworks going off all the time. Karen sent me updates and pics of both dogs on a regular basis. I do believe my house was cleaner than when I left it. Karen even contacted me for pooper scooper info. Wonderful energy. She is “the dog whisperer.””

“Magdalena was absolutely amazing, and we could not have asked for a better sitter for our two dogs. With only about a month’s notice, she was willing to take on a 10-night in-home stay for us, which immediately took a huge stress off our shoulders before our trip. Her communication throughout the entire vacation was incredible. She consistently kept us updated with pictures and videos, and it was obvious our dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention and care. The night before we left, our senior dog unfortunately developed a hotspot from excessive licking, so we had to ask Magdalena last minute if she could help with medicated shampoo and spray treatments while we were gone. She handled it without hesitation and even offered to take him to the vet if needed. Thankfully the treatments helped a lot, but what really stood out was how genuinely concerned and caring she was about his wellbeing. She also went above and beyond helping around the house by watering plants, cleaning up after our senior dog’s accidents, and even throwing in a load of laundry for us. We came home to a house in excellent condition — dishes done, everything tidy, and two very happy dogs. It was also clear she spent plenty of quality time with them, running them around in the backyard and offering walks as well. We would absolutely trust Magdalena with our dogs and home again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, communicative, and truly caring.”


“Tyler was AMAZING. This was the first time I've hired him and can't say enough about how much I trusted him with all my pets while I was away. He was incredibly communicative - more so than any Rover sitter I've had before. He took such great care of the house and left it spotless (massively appreciated but totally not expected). With two cats and two dogs, I rarely come home to a clean house. I will absolutely hire him again without hesitation!”

About: I am a detail oriented sitter and I care about sticking to the care plan. I like playing with pets, so they're sure to get enough exercise! I am a cat owner, so it is part of my daily routine to take care of them. Pets are a priority, especially when it comes to feeding properly. I live in an apartment and have indoor cats. They receive a kibble for indoor cats and water daily as needed. They each have their own litter box in different rooms. I have a variety of toys for them.
East Wellington pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had a great experience with Miranda. She stayed at our house and watched our cat and dog for 10 days. We appreciated meeting her ahead of time to meet our pets and get acquainted with our house. We look forward to having her watch our 'kids' again next time we are travelling.

Brooke did an excellent job caring for our pets and home. She was very communicative throughout the visit and kept us updated with plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. It gave us peace of mind knowing everything was going well while we were away. She followed all of our instructions exactly and made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely book with Brooke again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter.

Amy is an absolute gem! I was so nervous about leaving my 14 week old puppy for the first time, but Amy went above and beyond to ease our anxieties and give me peace of mind. Bowie got love, care, and puppy play with her dog Barli. So great to have a new friend! I highly recommend Amy and will definitely use her again.

Barbara was fantastic! She did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and aquarium. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and by the end of Barbara's stay, the dog was comfortable with her. She provide updates daily and did not hesitate when any instructions were unclear. I will definitely book with Barbara again.

My sweet senior Akitas were so happy with Zabrina and her husband! I submitted a very last minute request for a Thanksgiving sit, so I could fly to the east coast and help my sister move. Zabrina responded immediately, was available the next day for a meet and greet and the following day for the sit. I got great photo updates the whole time showing how happy and relaxed my dogs were. And how much they were enjoying their walks! I came home to calm happy dogs and a clean house. I will definitely ask Zabrina to housesit in the future.
