“Sandor has been taking care of my three dogs multiple times during the past year and half both for daily and multiday stays. Always dependable with great communications. Highly recommend him. Thanks Sandor.”


“It was great to meet Stephanie and Spencer and have them look after my 2 dogs. She was available on short notice to expand the time I booked her when another sitter cancelled at the last minute. She took great care of one of my dogs who sprained an “ankle” just before I left and went the extra mile to put down floor runners to help him get around! I truly recommend Stephanie and Spencer and will definitely have them care for the “fur kids” in the future. They truly are committed to animals!”


“Sarah is a very reliable, loving and caring sitter. She did great care of Milo and was very respectful of my place. She was also very responsive… I would hire Sarah in a heartbeat to watch Milo.”


“Kelly was AWESOME! Exactly what we wished for. She gave our abandoned/adopted baby he needs to adjust. Makes it easier to plan a trip knowing she would be with our baby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“Christy is the BEST dog sitter we have ever used! Our quirky two basenjis are not the easiest dogs to care for and the almost one year old had a few potty accidents. Christy took it all in stride and never made us feel anything but supported and relaxed about our time away (first time leaving the young one). Her communication was excellent and both our pups fell in love with her immediately! She was so helpful with everything and we can’t say enough wonderful things about how well she cared for (and loved) our dogs.”



“Molly was awesome. She is very sweet and caring and took exceptional care of our 2 dogs while we were on vacation. I will not hesitate to book her in the future. She took good care of our house and she brushed our dogs too! They looked great and happy upon our return.”


“I feel very lucky that Elizabeth was available to sit for my cat Kleo for a bit less than 2 weeks. She is reliable, friendly, and sent me pictures and updates while I was away which gave me a lot of peace. More importantly, Kleo had a great time. When I got home Kleo took me immediately to her toys and wanted to play! She clearly developed more of a habit for play than she had before and it was wonderful to see my 15 year old cat so insistent ?. Elizabeth also attended to house details for me and left the place tidy which makes for a nice return for me. I hope she will be able to come back often. If you need a cat person, Elizabeth is it.”


“This is the second time we’ve had Rikki for house sitting. We will definitely have her back. She’s considerate, sends messages and pictures every day, and makes sure to thoroughly understand the care instructions. The best part is, Louie is relaxed and happy upon our return.”


“David is a kind, communicative and responsible man. He was gentle and loving with my animals while I was away. He was trustworthy house-sitting for me, followed my house rules and kept it clean.”


About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life—growing up with cats, rabbits, hamsters, chicks, and ducks. Since 2018, I’ve raised a leash-reactive rescue dog, working through behavior training, crate training, and potty training. He’s now a well-adjusted senior, and I’ve developed a deep understanding of pet behavior, patience, and compassionate care. I’m currently pursuing my nursing degree and seeking part-time work. I’m flexible throughout the week, with availability after 4pm on Saturdays. Reliable and consistent. I’m committed to providing dependable care that fits your pet’s routine and needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in every pet care situation. While I prefer to care for pets in their own home to maintain their routine and reduce stress, I’m also able to welcome them into mine if needed. I have a securely fenced yard, a calm and friendly senior dog, and a clean, pet-friendly space where your fur baby will feel safe and loved. My goal is always to provide a nurturing environment that supports your pet’s well-being, whether in your home or mine.

“Jane was great with our pets. Both of them warmed up to her quickly which gave us peace of mind. She communicated wonderfully and sent pics. We came home to happy pets and a tidy house. Thank you so much Jane!”


“Elizabeth was the BEST! Fiona already truly misses her and was waiting by the door when she left 🥹 I can tell she was exercised well and loved well. Fiona was truly spoiled (in the best way) and we will absolutely use Elizabeth the next time we need someone to walk or sit Fi. Our house was super clean, maybe cleaner than we left it, and my plants were also well taken care of!”


About: I can help with puppy training, lunchtime walks, and ensure your pets are comfortable in their own home while you are away. I am comfortable with the care of most pets, as long as I have detailed directions to refer to. I love pet sitting because it gives me a productive drive and taking care of animals genuinely makes me happy. Typically I tend to pets 3x per day, at around 6am, 12pm, and 8pm depending on the level of care needed and my availability. Families will give me a tour of the location and allow me to meet the animals so I can see where things are and check their temperament. Aggressive animals must have safety precautions taken into consideration in order to be considered. Feel free to have cameras up in your home if you feel more secure with a stranger in the house, but ensure there's a key or a code to let me in when you are not there.

Whether your dog needs a long walk, your cat needs some extra cuddles, or your small animal needs attentive care, I’m here to help! I provide reliable, loving service tailored to your pet’s needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals, and I’m happy to accommodate special requests to make sure your pet gets the best care possible. Let’s connect—I’d love to meet your animal family member! I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide pet care that fits your needs—whether it’s daily visits, walks, or extra playtime and love, I got you covered. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to understand their routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and happy.

About: I have always pet sat for people, It’s something fun to do, I love going out and doing stuff with the dogs like going on trials or the beach I’m a full-time student so I’m able to take care of them in the morning as well as between classes and afternoon most classes I get out by 4 and have the afternoon. I have a rescue kitty in my home that is about a year old. Therefore I will not allow any other animals in my home. Being mindful of her

“Absolutely amazing she took such great fantastic care of Macy !!! Definitely a 5 star ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ plus sitter Recommend her highly !!! NOW however...my experience using "Rover" itself was extremely disappointing and dissatisfying!!!! Trying to communicate with your company was beyond difficult!!! Besides your cancelling my reservation.. without my authorization..every time I tried to contact you all I got was the run around from very unprofessional people. Who refused to answer any of my questions or concerns. Were rude and uninformed as to how to help me. I will NEVER use your company again!!! And certainly will not recommend anyone else use you !!!”


“Kristin did a fantastic job watching our pup! She sent many photos and updates while we were away for the evening. Our pup was happy and well cared for. We will definitely book her again.”


“Lorna looked after my 2 boys while I was away for the weekend. She sent updates along with photos and videos to calm my nerves as this was the first time I’ve left them with anyone outside of family. Not only were my boys extremely well taken care of, but so was my home❤️ I most definitely will be using Lorna again in the future!!”
