“Just got back to a lovely clean home and happy dog! First time we have used Rover and Lauren was very good with communication and photos everything went very smoothly and I would definitely book Laren to sit my dog again”
“Chelsey was absolutely incredible! We were away on an international trip for over 10 days and she was the most perfect house & pet sitter for our sweet, old senior pup. I tend to have anxiety when we travel and Chelsey made sure to send me updates and multiple photos every day to help ease my mind that all was well back home. She showed such love and care for our pup Donut, and our home! She even went above and beyond when, due to flight delays and issues on our return trip home, we needed to have a friend stay unexpectedly for an additional night by washing our guest room linens and towels to make sure our friend had what they needed when she left. We will 100% be booking with Chelsey again and I can't recommend her enough for anyone who needs pet-sitting support! <3”
“Once again Barbara was amazing when house sitting our two dogs and cat while we were out of town for 2 weeks! Our senior dog became paralyzed in his back legs and is unable to get around on his own (also needs help pooping and needed his bladder expressed), but Barbara made sure he was well taken care of and happy! We had an stress-free vacation knowing that they were in great hands ❤️”
“Susan is wonderful! She always does a great job with my pups, and I love the picture updates she sends while I’m away. I can tell my pups really enjoy her company. 💕”
“Lauren is amazing with my dog Luna and was so flexible when I had to change plans. Have re-booked many times because Luna just loves her and I know she’s in good hands with Lauren!”
“Ethel was absolutely incredible taking care of our pups (for the first time) while we were gone for 8 days for our wedding! She sent lots of pictures and videos, followed our instructions to a T! Will definitely be booking in the future.”
“Cindy did an excellent job keeping Peanut company while we were away and kept us updated with lots of pics. She was always responsive and I would gladly use her in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Alexi took such great care of our 6 pets! She got a really good introduction to their personalities at our met and greet. She had learned they love to be sung to when getting their post meal treat, and she did the singing for them while taking care of them! She gave great video and photo updates. I did not once worry about their care. I will definitely use her again!”
“Mikiyah was so good with my dog Cane. She kept me updated every day and sent lots of pictures/videos. She also was able to accommodate me last minute. We will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend!”

In my home or a client’s home, I provide regular feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I monitor behavior, comfort, and safety at all times and keep the environment clean and stress-free. I’m experienced with dogs from daycare and boarding settings as well as cats, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

I spend time playing with them every day and take them for walks or provide toys to keep them active. plenty of affection help them feel secure and cared for.
“Hannah was a fantastic sitter. She took great care of our pets, kept everything clean, and made the whole process easy with consistent updates. We came home to happy pets and a spotless space, which is exactly what you hope for. We’ll definitely be booking with her again.”
About: About me: I’ve always had lots of pets throughout my life and came from a very animal focused family, including dogs cats fish and turtles. I am an active person and walking my dog was always a big part of my routine. Now during my post grad life I missed connecting with as many dogs so I signed up for Rover! I have experience with cats with medical issues. I’m doing freelance artist work so I have time during the week to petsit! My schedule is flexible due unusual hours so I can work with your plans. (I am not currently caring for pets in my own home due to the size of my apartment, which is already filled up by two cats who have very big personalities)
“Rosalind was able to come stay with our babies last-minute, and we were so comfortable leaving them with her. She kept us updated and sent plenty of pics while we were gone. We can’t recommend her enough, and will be booking her again in the future!”
“As Alia was a perfect overnight dog sitter. Our pups loved her and felt safe with her care. She went above and beyond with feeding, playtime, and keeping them happy while we were away for a two week trip. Even when a medical emergency arose, she acted quickly and was able to get our dog care without hesitation. I would recommend her to anyone. She’s one of the best sitters we’ve had!”
“Kylie was super helpful in our last minute request to take care of our pets while we were out of town. She was kind to them and took great care of the house. We look forward to having her back!”

Lauren was absolutely amazing!! I had to find a sitter last minute, and I loved her bio the moment I read it. She responded quickly to my request and made sure to nail out the details for my dog’s stay. I could tell she’s experienced and loves animals, and so could my dog! She sent regular updates and pictures, and when I saw my dog frolicking in her backyard and snuggled up later on in the evening like he forgot I had dropped him off was all I needed to set my mind at ease haha! Lauren is a fantastic sitter and I will absolutely be booking her again. Thank you so much!!
Stephanie was a life saver. I had a short notice booking. She was able to fit in a meet and greet, which was very important because we have a high anxiety dog. She was sweet and calm with my dogs, and also playful for my high energy dog. And our high anxiety dog started to warm up to her after a day or so: She left our home clean and orderly. Would definitely recommend!
5 stars! Hannah is our go-to sitter and always takes great care of our pets and home. Excellent communication, regular updates, and everything was in great shape when we got back. We never worry when Hannah is staying with Dakota and Watson. Highly recommend!
Jessica is someone we will always be booking from here on! She was fantastic with the medication needs of our senior cat, sent many photos, and our place was left in even better condition from when we left. Will absolutely continue to ask Jessica to watch our boys.
Carolina stayed with Maggie for a week while we were in Portugal. Besides being very sweet and accommodating, she went above and beyond just watching Maggie. She got the mail, watered the flowers outside, checked the skimmer baskets in the pool for us, dealt with contractors who were working on the pool and yard, dealt with Comcast because the contractors cut the internet line and washed and changed the sheets. The house was left exactly as it was when we left. Best of all Maggie, who doesn't like strangers to touch her, warmed up to Carolina like we have never seen before. We received pictures and videos of Maggie playing with her toys with Carolina and letting her give her belly rubs like she does only with family! Carolina was our second sitter because we were gone for 2 weeks and couldn't find anyone available for the whole time, so she met with the first sitter who went over everything with her before she left. We would definitely book Carolina again and now we feel more comfortable leaving Maggie, when before it was very much a challenge and other options hadn't gone well (drop ins, staying at other people's houses). Most of all Maggie would love to see her again! She's a dog whisperer!
Cheyenne took wonderful care of our Aussie girl and our home. She was extremely professional and showed great care and attention throughout her stay. We received regular updates, and our Aussie got all the walks and exercise she needed. We would highly recommend Cheyenne and will be booking again soon.
Alexi did an amazing job with our sweet boy Rodney. He did amazing with his meet and greet. He loved Alexi so very much, she was incredible with updates and sending pictures along with taking him on walks and giving him his daily-all-day snuggles!!! We cannot wait to have Alexi stay with him again, he can’t wait to see his new buddies.
Marija was great as a sitter for our 3 animals, and that she was enabling the animals to be in their own home, made it so much better than in a strange place. When Peaches got so frightened by the loud firecrackers, Marija knew just how to handle it and helped Peaches to be comforted. We hope Marija will be available the next time we need a sitter , because she is the best!
Renee was an amazing sitter for our dog, Riggs! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much about him. We really appreciated the updates and knowing Riggs was in great hands while we were away. He was happy and well cared for when we got back, which says it all. We would absolutely book with Renee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. 🐾
This was our first time using Rover and I was very nervous about it. Elizabeth took good care of all our animals and sent photos and updates on all of our fur babies daily. Upon our return, our house was left in neat condition, and all our animals were content and happy.
