“Lavinia did an awesome job caring for our two dogs and one kitty. She was very communicative and responsive, sent great photos, and made sure our furry crew was well taken care of while we were gone. I would not hesitate to book her again.”
“I cannot recommend Katherine enough!! She stayed with our dog for the week and was very communicative, sent us pictures and videos, and took great care of Bumi and our apartment. She is top of the list for any future trips we take without a doubt!!”
“Ona took excellent care of our pups! Very responsive and kept us up to date with pictures several times a day. Went above & beyond to bring in a few packages that showed up while we were away as well.”
“Christine took great care of our two dogs and our home for a full week. We received updates daily with pictures of the dogs enjoying their time with Christine and came home to the house in fantastic shape. We hope to have Christine again when we’re out of time next!”
“Maria was great! She took wonderful care of our boy and our home. Definitely put my mind at ease while we were away for the weekend knowing our dog was being well taken care of. Would definitely recommend and will book again in the future.”
“Ricky did amazing! I have two dogs we rescued, little dachshunds. One of the boys we have can be loud, and aggressive. My partner and I were very anxious going into this fearful of any lash outs or boy could have. Ricky handled the my boys with tenderness and loving care. By the last day I was told my naughty boy was excited to see him come through the door for their daily walks. You’re amazing Ricky!”
About: I’ve had a dog my entire life, so caring for dogs comes naturally to me. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, though I’ve primarily grown up with small and medium breeds. I can handle daily routines, walks, playtime, and different personalities with patience and care. I’m open to caring for larger dogs as long as they are well-behaved and non-aggressive :). Clear communication about your dog’s temperament helps ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone. I treat every dog with love, respect Baths are available upon request for $15.

“Saoirse did an amazing job cat sitting for us for just about a full week. She stayed at our place and kept our kitties well fed and entertained the entire time. She sent us plenty of pictures and videos everyday and she was extremely communicative the entire time. She was respectful of our home and kept the place in tip top shape. Everything looked great when we got back home and the cats seemed a lot happier and less stressed overall. We will 100% be using her again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for similar services.”
“Laquan had a challenging assignment: looking after 4 vivacious French Bulldogs for a couple days. One in particular, required special handling because he is moody. Laquan rose to the challenge and kept the peace.”
“Emily was amazing! She was very communicative the whole time and sent lots of updates during the stay. It was so nice to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away, and it was even better to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! We would definitely recommend Emily!”
“Lauren was great with our dog and cat. She did great with updates and pictures. My dog absolutely loves her dog Nala. We came home to the house looking perfect and very happy animals. Definitely looking forward to booking again.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Camille! From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. She gave lots of love, attention, and playtime—and kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Camille is reliable, kind, and professional—we will absolutely be booking again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for top-notch care. ★★★★★”
“Absolutely the best caretaker ever!!!! Joey was amazing with our dogs, easy to communicate with, and left our house cleaner than it was before he got there! We highly recommend Joey!!!!”
“Eric helped me when I was really in a pinch. He was kind, communicative, and dog-centered. Took my pup on a long walk and tired her out in a great way. Highly recommend.”
“Hannah was wonderful! She engaged with Nikki through her favorite games, stuck to her regular feeding and walking routine, and even ended up walking with some of Nikki's furry friends during their neighborhood strolls. From the Ring video, I could tell Nikki felt at ease and happy with Hannah almost immediately. Coming back to a tidy house was an added bonus. I've already rebooked Hannah and am grateful for her caring nature towards my precious Nikki. Thank you, Hannah, for taking such great care of her!”

Saoirse spent 10 days with my dog, Isla, in our home while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond in every way, from taking Isla on special adventures, to leaving the house absolutely immaculate upon my return. She is a fabulous communicator, and kept me informed of her schedule, sent lots of pictures and videos of Isla, and made sure to clarify with me on any instructions I left for her. Her passion and love for animals really showed in the way she thoughtfully cared for Isla, and Isla absolutely adored her!! I truly felt like my dog was having a vacation of her own and getting spoiled and loved on, which made it easier to be away from her for so long. Saoirse is professional and also incredibly kind. We will definitely have her back next time we need a sitter!
Words cannot express how highly we think of Emily. We have used her often and she is fantastic but during the recent stay she went above and beyond. She identified that our dog was having a medical emergency, she took him to urgent care and then drove an hour and a half each way to get a prescription that he urgently needed (it was not available locally). She may literally have saved his eyesight. We will always be grateful for Emily and five stars is not nearly a high enough rating.
Corwin took very good care of my two 15 year old Munchkin Cats. I had him do overnights since Mochi, the female needs medication daily. I rarely go away more than 4 days and I was very comfortable leaving for over a week. Corwin sent me many photos and I could see how both cats loved him being around! I definitely would recommend Corwin to take care of your fur babies! 😻😻
We had such a great experience with Madeline and truly couldn’t have asked for better care for our dogs. She was incredibly responsive from the start and consistently proactive with communication, which made the entire process feel seamless and stress-free. What stood out most was the level of attentiveness and genuine care she showed—our dogs were clearly comfortable and well looked after, which means everything to us. She was also punctual and reliable, which we really appreciated. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a natural ease around animals. We felt completely at ease while we were away and would absolutely recommend her without hesitation. We’ll definitely be using her again in the future.
Mackenzie did a great job with our German shepherd puppy and our two cats! She even watched our house for us while we were gone creating a worry free vacation for us! She brought in our mail and packages, left us a beautiful hand written note and washed the sheets! She went above and beyond. Our puppy got plenty of walks and socialization. We got frequent updates, pictures and videos.. we can’t wait to go on another vacation and use MacKenzie again!
Lavinia is such an attentive and caring dog sitter, and she treated our home wonderfully too, leaving it in better condition even than when we left to travel internationally! Her pictures of our two dogs and four guinea pigs were great to have not just while traveling but for memories, and she is thoughtful about asking questions and being in touch; we'd 110% recommend her and will be looking to book her for our next journeys!
Katherine is absolutely wonderful — warm, genuine, and so reliable. We felt completely at ease while we were away knowing Zelda and Luna were in great hands. Her communication was great throughout. We'd have her back anytime without hesitation and wouldn't think twice about recommending her! ☺️
When Kelsy housesits and provides pet care for our extended travel. we know that our pets ane home are cared for very well. We come home to a house that is cleaner than when we left and pets who look forward to seeing Kelsey the next time she sit sor us. Our new dog MAREE snuggled with Kelsey and will look forward to seeing her again soon.
Arianna is very reliable and communicative! She gave us frequent updates on our kitties and sent good photos. She also helped with information for an unexpected emergency vet visit (recurring illness with one cat) after we returned from our trip! She is friendly and helpful and a great cat sitter!
Jess was wonderful! She made sure to come by the house to meet our boys before we confirmed booking. While Jasper, our anxious pup, refused to eat (normal for him when we are away, he lets anxiety take over) she made sure to double check with me before introducing peanut butter to coax him into eating more normally. She also sent plenty of photos and went above and beyond and was sweet enough to even bring our mail in! We would happily have her back to watch our boys! Thank you so much Jess!
We had Shelby watch our two large, energetic dogs while we were away for a long weekend. It was our first time using a sitter via rover and Shelby made the experience amazing! She took excellent care of our dogs and we felt very comfortable with her being in and looking after our home. She sent photo updates and made sure they were very well looked after! When our flight was delayed on the way home, she was even willing to help us out beyond the initial time booked. We would 100% utilize Shelby’s services again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter for their pets!
