“Diana was fantastic and we would 100% book her again. Our two dogs took to her quickly at our initial meeting, which put me at great ease. She stayed in our home for 3 nights with our 11 month old puppy and our 14 year old dog. They both have completely different personalities and needs. Diana sent us videos and photos of the dogs, and little updates each day. The house was also well taken care of and looked as if no one had been here. We were able to enjoy our trip without worry and knew the dogs were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“We had to go out of town for a week for our wedding. As it can already be a stressful time planning a wedding, Emalyn kept us updated every single day with a picture of our dog and ensured she was doing great, giving us a peaceful mind for our big day. Emalyn did an absolutely amazing job. I have a pitbull rescue that is very hyper and Emalyn made sure she had her full attention and playful times with her. I will definitely book Emalyn again to watch our dog again!”
“Amoreena is so great with my dog. She’s a super high energy hunting breed so she’s not always the easiest to watch but she does such a good job meeting her needs and keeping her happy. She sends lots of photos and updates which puts my mind at ease while we’re away.”
“Juliette was wonderful. We needed a sitter at the veryvery last minute & reached out ~16 hours in advance. I won't leave Sorrelle w/ just anyone and Juliette's profile and reviews were all great so asked her immediately (if I didn't get a good vibe from anyone I would've cancelled my plans). .She got back to me almost immediately! And was so sweet. Absolutely incredible communication from the start through to finish. She came early to meet Sorrelle & learn about routines etc. Sorrelle had no hesitation. When I got back it was VERY clear Sorrelle took to her & vice versa. From the moment I met her it was obvious her love of pets and gentle demeanor. Cannot recommend Juliette highly enough!! Sorrelle & I'll be reaching out to her again. THANK YOU! 🩷”
“Riley took care of our three dogs and our cat for four nights. He did a great job! One of our dogs is quite Senior and takes some extra patience and support, and we're so grateful Riley was here for him. It's hard to leave them, but we felt very confident with Riley, and he gave us great peace of mind. He sent pictures and didn't hesitate to text me a question when he wasn't sure if something our old man was doing was normal for him. It was! But, I'm so glad he asked. Riley kept our home just as we left it, and we are especially glad to have found someone that was able to stay at our home while we were gone so our pets could have as much normalcy as possible. We highly recommend Riley if you are looking for excellent care for you pets!”

“Alyssa was so great with my critters (2 small dogs and one cranky cat) while we were out of town for a wedding. One dog is a recent adoptee who is a very skittish girl- so a little more to handle. Alyssa kept her comfy and safe at home for us. We truly appreciate her and will definitely book again !”
“Nick's level of care and communication was great! Our pup was not feeling well when we left for our trip, but Nick made him feel comfortable and updated us on his progress. Would reccomend him for any in home sitting needs.”
“Tyler was very thoughtful, communicative, and helpful the whole time I was away. I felt completely comfortable having him in my home . . . and based on the pics so did my dog Cooper :) would have Tyler back any time!”
About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life, from cats, to energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention. I’ve had the privilege of raising a dog who lived to 17, giving me hands on experience with both early training and gentle, attentive elder care. I treat every pet like family and tailor my care to their unique needs, personality, and stage of life. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to play with and care for your pets! I’m available throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, and pet care, and I also offer house sitting on weekends/some weekdays, depending.

I provide care in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment and stick to their normal routine. I’m attentive, respectful of your space, and committed to building trust with both you and your pet. Whether I’m walking or caring for them at home, you can count on reliable, responsible, and compassionate care every time.

“Karah did an incredible job with my animals and house.I cannot recommend her highly enough.My animals are rarely left overnight much less for 2 weeks, my dog is fragile and requires medication 2x a day.They were happy; secure and healthy when we returned.”
“Desiree was amazing! She was available for us very last minute and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. Even though we were only gone for one night, she kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older and very relaxed, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She took them on a walk, stayed longer than planned, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Desiree again and highly recommend her!”
“Quinn stayed with our dogs and my dad’s dog for a week and she did an amazing job! She was very communicative and sent pictures every day which I really appreciated. Our house was very clean when we got home and she left a note for us about how the week went in addition to the messages she had sent throughout the week. We felt very relaxed on our trip because of her updates and our dogs seemed happy and relaxed when we got home! Highly recommend!”
Elmwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
RJ was AMAZING with my babies. I’ve never had such a more relaxed time away from home. I was constantly updated throughout the day with messages and pictures. The dogs absolutely loved their time at home while I was away when typically they have separation anxiety. I would absolutely recommend RJ to anyone looking for a down to earth, well skilled and talented sitter!!
Desiree was amazing! She was available for us very last minute and made the whole experience easy and worry-free. Even though we were only gone for one night, she kept us updated the entire time and sent pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dogs are older and very relaxed, and it was clear they were comfortable and well cared for. She took them on a walk, stayed longer than planned, and we came home to a clean house. We will definitely be booking with Desiree again and highly recommend her!
Cammie was very quick to respond and do a meet and greet same day we reached out. She was very attentive, took very good care of the animals and communicated every time she fed and let my dog out to potty. This was my first time using Rover for my animals and I will definitely be using Cammie again.
Meagan did a great job watching our pups. Bella, our golden retriever, showed off her hunting skills by catching a squirrel. Typical golden she had to roll on her catch to make sure every part of her body was coated with her prize. After some convincing and bribery Meagan was able get the squirrel and dispose of it. And then she gave Bella a bath ... all was good. Our house looked great when we arrived home. And Meagan left us notes on each of the two dogs. It was such a nice surprise to find those kind words. We hope Meagan will be available to watch Bentley and Bella for each of our travel plans when we can't travel with our pups.
We have a special needs dog who doesn't prefer meeting new people. Hannah was great about understanding our dog's needs and was patient about meeting him several times to allow him to get comfortable before the first longer stay. She was great about communicating and sharing pictures. It was a relief to know our dog was at home in good hands while we were traveling!
