“I cannot say enough good things about Pamela. She's such a sweet kind and gentle person. She stayed with our two dogs while we were out of town and treated them like her own. Both of our dogs fell in love with her. ...And so did we!! She sends updates regularly and lots, lots of pictures of our pups, which we appreciated so, so much! We came home to a spotless house and very happy and calm puppies! We are so relieved we finally have a go to sitter for when we're out of town now ❤️❤️”

About: I've taken care of animals for the majority of my life and take pride in giving them the best. I've worked with canines, felines and exotics in the past at my previous jobs. I also worked at a vet clinic and cherished my time with pets and getting to know their owners. It would be my pleasure to offer my services for walks, drop ins and/or house sitting! Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. I do have a few dates I'm booked for already but happy to work with you to get your pet(s) what they need. First and foremost, I want to make sure we are both on the same page for how your home works, what your pet needs and how I can make it the most enjoyable experience for all involved! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable and the least stressed as possible while you're away. I will read your pet's body language, respect their wishes and make sure they're happy. ☺️
“Doggos were happy, house was clean, communication was clear and daily with fun pictures and all of our interactions were lovely. I highly recommend Michelle!”
“Abby is awesome with Harlow & Oakley! My fiancé and I work long hours, and Abby is always available to help! I totally recommend Abby as a dog sitter! I will be using Abby again to watch my pups!”
“Went to Europe for almost two weeks and decided to give Rover a try for the first time - and I TOTALLY lucked out with Erin!! I ended up selecting her because in addition to the positive reviews, she seemed like she was great with cats. I left my two cats - and my home - in Erin’s care while I was abroad, which was a little bit scary for me, but Erin made me so comfortable. We met first, she spent lots of time getting used to the kitties’ habits, and she was so patient with them (they’re shy at first). Erin was friendly, flexible, and amazing with my kitties. I got updates every day including videos, and she took great care of my home. When I came back, the bowls were full, the litter was clean, and the cats were happy. Erin came every day, loved up on the kitties, and made sure the house was safe. I’m incredibly grateful to have found someone who I can trust and finally can relax on my future trips knowing she is here and willing to help. I highly recommend booking with Erin, especially for first-time Rovers! Thank you for everything, Erin! I’ll be seeing you again! ?”
“Anna was great! She cared for our dog, gave detailed daily updates and sent lots of pictures. My pup was happy and healthy when I got home from my trip. Will be requesting another house sitting service soon!”
“Ki did an absolutely amazing job taking care of my dogs! She kept me updated with regular pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I could tell my dogs were happy, well cared for, and loved. On top of that, my house was spotless when I returned. Ki is responsible, attentive, and clearly passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets other than my own since seven years old. From family, to friends, to neighbors. Good with pets of all ages, phenomenal at getting stubborn senior pups to eat their food. I am currently between jobs waiting for a seasonal position, so I am available anytime, other than the occasional appointment or vacation. Available on some holidays. I currently live with my anti-pet parents, so caring for pets in my clients home is ideal. This is much less stressful on the pet, having their familiar environment. I am non-invasive and will respect any requests you have for my time in your home.
“Tori took care of my dog well. I would gladly utilize her help again!”
About: I’m a teacher looking to hangout with some cuddly pets this summer! I’ve had cats my entire life (25 years), including two who lived to be 18. I’m experienced with giving medication by syringe and caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve also helped care for friends’ dogs, birds, hamsters, and fish. I’m patient, gentle, and truly love animals. I’m currently a teacher and I have my summers off so my time is very flexible. I am looking for some cute animals to fill my schedule this summer! I treat every pet like family and follow any instructions closely to keep them happy and healthy. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, always clean up after pets, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Rover or an in house sitter. We have anxiety about leaving our two dogs as one is old and clingy and the other can be difficult. Claire quickly but us at ease upon meeting here. She obviously has a love for and great sense of pet's needs and personalities. She updated us daily with texts and pictures. Claire went over and above by bringing in delivered packages and doing laundry before she left. Most importantly....our Lucy and Chester had so much fun with her and we're well cared for!! We will definately be using Claire again in the future.”
“Zoe did a great job taking care of my old guy! It was wonderful to be on vacation knowing that he was safe in his own home / own bed. Zoe did a wonderful job maintaining my home while I was away. We would have her stay again for sure.”
“Ariel took great care of our puppy, Remi, while we were away. She communicated well and sent pictures of her each day. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, of course, but I also have experience working in a vet clinic/boarding facility as a veterinary assistant. I have experience with most small animals (cats , dogs, and in between)! I’m currently working part-time, so I have lots of time to fit in walks and check-ins with your furry friends while you’re at work or out of town! I can’t wait to spend some time with them! I have offered in-home pet care for many friends and family over the years, given my experience working with animals. I am comfortable with dogs of all personality types and sizes, and will respect the owners wishes on what their restrictions and expectations are for each visit!
“Molly was a fantastic house sitter! She was so easy to communicate with and was very trustworthy, which is needed when someone else is staying at your house. I always miss my dogs when I’m away but was put at ease knowing Molly and Izzy where there to keep them company and to keep them safe.”

6. Tia B.
“Tia is the absolute best! We recently had her come over to let out our German Shorthaired Pointer on a day that my partner and I were going to be gone all day and she did a fantastic job. She was on time and her communication was great. She let out our dog so she could go to the bathroom and run around outside. Tia also played fetch with her for an hour or so. After that she made sure our doggo had water then gave her a kong and put her back in the kennel. I'm very picky about who watches our dog and I'm so happy that Tia is doing this. We had complete peace of mind the entire day we were gone! Additionally, Tia worked as a vet assistant for close to 5 years so she has a lot of experience with all types of pets!”

12. Carolyn P.
“Carolyn is always my first call whenever we’re looking for a pet-sitter! She is great with animals and genuinely takes the time to get to know each of our pets and their individual personalities and needs. We had a senior dog who needed lots of extra patience and had a very specific care routine, and Carolyn did an amazing job taking care of her! She was great at keeping us updated and asking questions whenever she had them to make sure we stayed informed and that she could provide the best possible care for our pets. I know whenever I call Carolyn that my pets will get the best possible care while I am away, and that they will be safe and genuinely happy when they’re with her. Carolyn is the best!”

18. RanDee H.
“I cannot recommend RanDee highly enough! I have never met anyone with a more genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of their needs. Her kindness and compassion shines not just with pets, but people as well. RanDee took the time to learn about my cats and dog's needs. I have a quirky and very shy cat, but RanDee managed to build a strong bond and gain her trust, nobody else has ever managed to bring Midnight out of her shell like RanDee!! My pets love her as much as she loves them! I never hesitate to have RanDee pet sit and have complete peace of mind when I travel. She sends updates and photos every time I am away. I appreciate the extra attention she gives to my senior cat as well. What really sets RanDee apart is her previous experience working in a veterinary clinic with many different types of pets. She is very calming and loving! If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own- with love, expertise, and care-look no further!”
