“Jeena had been the most amazing cat sitter. I have an anxiety-monkey cat who needs to be fed at very specific times, and Jeena has always fed them on the dot. She is incredibly communicative and responsive, checking in with me at each meal as requested. Jeena also leaves my apartment in pristine condition and with everything exactly as I left it—even though she stays overnight as needed with my kitties. Every time I have come home, the litter has been immaculately clean, as has been the garbage and the rest of the apartment. My cats also tell me that Jeena has been incredibly sweet and caring towards them, as is obvious by their demeanor when I return. Love the pictures of cuddling with the cats that put my mind at ease about leaving them with a sitter, thank you Jeena!”
“Haley did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 dogs for a week. She sent photos and updates. She gave them lots of attention and snuggles. She walked them too. Everything was clean when we got home. Thank you, Haley!”
“Autumn did such a wonderful job with our pup! We recently rescued her and she can be very anxious with strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Autumn. We were worried leaving her at home for the first time but were quickly reassured by the photos and updates Autumn sent. 10/10 would recommend her!”
“Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily. We really appreciated the report card and welcome home by our happy relaxed pet family, when we returned home. It was very obvious that our pets enjoyed her! From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.”
“I had Tori stay with my three cats - two of whom aren’t integrated with the third. She paid attention to my directions about that and was in contact a lot during the weekend. I really appreciated her attention to detail and willingness to give my girls cuddles. And she cleaned up after herself. Definitely recommend.”
“Asia is a wonderful sitter. She kept Cooper for an extended period for me and was very flexible with scheduling. She has extensive experience with dogs and can read cues and knows how to give them space if needed, especially for my anxious pup. I came home to a clean house and living plants too :) I will definitely be rebooking with Asia when I can in the future. Thank you so much!”
“I've had the pleasure of using Suli's pet sitting services a couple of times now, and she consistently provides exceptional care. She's wonderfully communicative and keeps me updated with plenty of photos. Suli follows all directions to the letter and even goes the extra mile by taking my dog to the park and dropping him off at doggie daycare. Her ability to bond with my pet parrot as well speaks to her versatility and genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Suli for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Suli!”
About: Being able to help pet owners care for and love their pets is such an enjoyable experience. I'm comfortable with cats of all different personalities, sassy, shy or snuggly, I'm also experienced with dogs who are anxious, shy or full of energy. I provide regular updates so you can be at ease while you're away. I have a very calm and patient approach and tailor my care to each pet's different needs. I'm consistent and don't just show up. I try to understand your pets routines and preferences. I am working on finishing my degree which I do mostly from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most of the time which gives me more to time to spend with your pets! I am an active person and try to get in as much exercise as I can, I would love to take your pet on a walk/jog with me! That being said, one of my favorite ways to unwind is cuddling up with a pet and book in hand! I adjust to each pet's energy levels and what they need, whether that's exercise or some snuggles. Your trust and pet's safety are both incredibly important to me. I treat your home with care and honor your pet’s routines, always striving to provide a loving, familiar environment.
“Callie was absolutely amazing while house-sitting my dog for 3 nights! She gave me multiple updates everyday with pictures and videos. A truly anxiety-free experience and would 100% book again.”
“Julia is amazing!! She’s kind, reliable, and so easy to work with. She made us feel completely comfortable leaving our dogs with her, and when we got back, they were happy and well cared for. We can’t wait to have her back. Five stars all the way—highly recommend!!!”
“Met Carolyn at a nearby park several weeks before the booking. She made me feel at ease with her being in my home with my yorkie. This was my first booking and I will be using her again in the future. She took great care of my home and my dog while I was gone. I was able to have peace of mind while traveling.”
“Another wonderful experience with D’Andra! She takes such good care of our pets. We appreciate all the pictures and the open communication. Highly recommend her for peace of mind when traveling.”
“Becky did a wonderful job caring for my pet. She was very happy and relaxed when I returned home and my house was in great shape. I will definitely ask Becky to help me again with my pet when I leave town next.”
About: I've been taking care of pets, mostly cats, for the past 3–4 years. This includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to my own cat, so I understand the patience and care needed for pets with special needs. I love getting to know each pet I meet, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I’m available for drop-ins weekdays before and after work, as well as around lunchtime. I’m also available for house sitting most days with advanced notice. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care by ensuring they are always supervised and secure. I carefully follow owners' instructions and maintain clear communication. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“Max was extremely patient and attentive with our senior dog. He left the house clean and Jeffrey was a happy boy when we got home - accident-free! Thanks for keeping Jeffrey calm and relaxed. :)”
About: I've always loved animals. I have a zoo at my house with 3 cats, a puppy, a bunny, and a turtle. Playing with all of them is the highlight of my day. I've been pet sitting for friends and family since I was 15. I've even trained a few of their dogs. Dogs are my favorite animal but I like cats as well. If it's ok with you I will bring my own all natural treats to share with your fur babies. If you allow me to watch your dogs, you won't have to worry about me leaving you with a mess. I always leave a space better than how I found it. If I stay overnight for multiple nights I will also walk your dogs. I do have a full time job but will spend as much time as possible with your babies. I typically have evenings and weekends free I will treat your pets the way you do and ensure every safety measure possible is met. I'll make sure to follow any and all instructions you provide.
About: I have spent two decades pet sitting cats and dogs. In particular, I've given medications (including insulin, pills and liquids) and have a lot of experience with senior pets. Overall, I just want your pet to feel safe and loved. I work part time so that I have time to dedicate to pet sitting. I make sure that your pet is my priority when they're under my care. Each situation is unique and I learn what makes your pet feel safest and most secure. I learn their routines and make sure to follow instructions. That way the transition is easiest for them.

She kept me informed and reassured, and I felt completely at ease during my time away. Her love for animals really shows through in her care.

Chloe F.
“Chloe has done a wonderful job of taking care of our dog and 2 cats! Our setup can be particularly difficult to navigate, since the dog and cats don't get along, and so they need to be cared for separately. But Chloe has always made sure their needs are met, and beyond that, she engages our animals while we're away so that they receive affection and attention beyond the basics. Highly recommend Chloe to anyone who is looking!”
Whitney V.
“Whitney is wonderful! She has a love for animals and they can sense it. She has watched our multiple fur babies many times. We are lucky to have found her!!!”
Ellendale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Eleanor stayed with my Pom for a week while I was out of the country, and she was fantastic! I came home to a happy doggie and a neat and tidy place. Eleanor sent regular updates and pics through the week so I didn’t worry while I was away. I definitely recommend her services!
Laura is superb and amazing! She went over and above in all areas. Perry liked her very much and he was so well taken care of. Communication was frequent and thorough, sending pics and updates. Came home to am immaculate house. I can't say enough good things about her! She is even going to stay on and walk Perry twice a week. I would have her back to petsit in a heartbeat .
laryn took great care of my dog and my home while I was out of town. I had never had someone I did not know stay at my place while I wasn’t there, and I felt very comfortable. my dog seemed happy and cared for while I was gone, and she was communicative with updates. would definitely recommend her and would have her watch my dog again!
Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks.

Devon made my the time away from my dog very easy & enjoyable. I was away for a week and I usually have anxiety when leaving my dog, but I had no concerns as I could tell he was in good hands. Would recommend to anyone who wants to have a stress free time away from their pet.
We had such a great experience with Eileen watching our two dogs, Bently and Sheba, while we were away on a camping trip. From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and warm. Exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pets and staying in your home. While we were gone, Eileen went above and beyond to make sure Bently and Sheba were comfortable, happy, and well loved. She sent us daily updates with pictures and sweet messages, letting us know how they were doing and what they were up to. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying, knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. It was also clear from her messages that she genuinely cared about them, which meant the world to us. When we returned, the house was spotless. She left everything just as we had it, if not better. And most importantly, Bently and Sheba were calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for during our time away. It was such a comfort to know that they were able to stay in their own home with someone who treated them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Eileen, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, and truly loves animals, look no further. Eileen is the best!
We ended up hiring Olivia at the last minute to watch our Australian Cattle Dog and three cats for the weekend. She was awesome! She kept in touch while we were gone, made sure everyone was taken care of, and left the house just how we left it. I even told her not to worry about the litter boxes, but she did them anyway. Little things like that say a lot. We’d definitely bring her back next time we need someone and highly recommend her!
Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!
