“Emily is a wonderful housesitter! She communicated with me the week that I was on vacation about my cat and sent pictures daily. My boy was well taken care of and the peace of mind knowing he didn't have to spend a lot of time alone made a big difference. Emily visited us several days before her stay to meet my little guy and made sure she was familiar with his needs. She left the home immaculate as well. I highly recommend Emily for any pet needs and will definitely contact her when I have travel plans again.”

“Angela did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of Forest. She kept Forest on his routine with walks and she provided plenty of updates. Forest really bonded with her! I will definitely be rebooking Angela in the future!”

“Kai’Lee took care of our dogs and house over a long weekend. She was super responsive to any questions we had, provided lots of updates, and sent lots of pictures. When we came home, our dogs seemed well taken care of! We feel she really treats the dogs as if they are her own. Have used her services in the past and will keep booking in future.”

“We were very skeptical about using the app and having someone stay at our house. Our dogs don’t do well at kennels and we tried Rover. Upon our first meeting with Christina, we felt very comfortable with her. She was so good meeting our pups that they fell in love with her immediately. She sent us photos of them daily and took them on multiple walks. We now know we can go on a vacation and hire Christina again. When we got home, the pups looked disappointed it was us getting home and not Christina. She is a true gem and we will be using her services again as well as sharing our experiences with others about Rover and Christina. Thank you again Christina!”


“Having Madi stay with our dogs was fabulous! They were happy and well taken care of. There was no hunger strike or readjustment period as in the past :) Madi was great with communication!”

“Maia was incredible. 🤯🎉🎊 She kept us updated and took care of the house. We had some people come to the house to move furniture and repair some things and Maia remained flexible through the entirety of that endeavor. The dogs clearly loved her and we’d be absolutely delighted to utilize their services again. 🦮🐕🦺🐕 She did some awesome, creative activities with the dogs too!!! 🎨 What a wonderful surprise to come home to the crafts she made with them! Strongly recommend her services 😊”

“Are dogs are not bad dogs but there are 3 of them and they are all rescues and they have their own quirks. They love Lori and we cannot ask for anything more. She takes care of them and keeps us updated and they are happy when we get back. Lori is great!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies to Great Danes, and I truly enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddling up with your pup. I’ve also cared for a variety of other pets, including reptiles, birds, and rodents. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies as early as 6 months old to senior dogs with disabilities and pups with severe social anxiety who need extra patience, understanding, and one-on-one attention. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide the individualized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and we would be thrilled to give your pets the same love and attention we would give our own! 🐾 I work from home two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. I also go on walks every day and love spending time outside, so having a furry walking buddy is a perfect addition to my day! My husband and I love to travel, which makes it difficult for us to have pets of our own. Because of that, we truly enjoy every opportunity to spend time with animals and spoil them with plenty of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cozy companion to hang out with, I’d be happy to make them part of my daily routine! I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. At a client’s home, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!
About: I have grown up with both cats and dogs and have experience taking care of both. I love to go on runs with dogs and know how to let them get the zoomies out! I also have a cat of my own that I have been taking care of for the past 6 years and am an expert at convincing cats to take their pills! I would love to help your pet out! I am currently a student, so I have a more flexible schedule. I only have 2-4 hours of class per day, depending on the day. I am available weekends, early mornings, after 4 on weekdays, and mid-day every day. I have a cat of my own who has lived happily with other dogs and cats, but will most likely be separated just in case!
“Aspen was fantastic with the animals, frequent check-ins and so respectful of our home. We'd be delighted to have Aspen back for a future trip”
“Nate was fantastic with our two doodles! He sent us pictures morning and night and took such great care of them. Our minds were completely at ease the whole time Nate was with our dogs. We will rebook with Nate whenever possible!”

“Jeff was an extremely involved and helpful sitter. He kept me updated through tons of pictures and videos and took it upon himself to assist in training my pup. Would definitely use again!”

“Breon was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We read every review and they could not be more accurate; Breon has a warm, welcoming presence and she clearly loves what she does. Our dogs immediately took to her when we first met so we knew she would be a great fit. Her communication was excellent, which helped us feel so comfortable with her caring for the dogs. She sent such precious pictures during the walks and during their time hanging out together in the evenings. We also so appreciate Breon’s thoughtfulness in keeping our home tidy, such a nice touch that really helps you feel relaxed when you return home. We recommend her highly and will absolutely be having her stay with our pups in the future! Thank you Breon!!”

“I would give 100 stars, if I could! It was my first time leaving my puppies, and Ishmell was soooo wonderful! He stayed at my house over night, took care of all 3 dogs, and was a great house guest! So happy I found him, and can't wait to use him again!”

“We booked Avery to look after Oatie at our Airbnb, and they were fantastic again. Communication was spot on, they arrived promptly, and we felt completely at ease leaving Oatie with them. Avery clearly has a lovely, calm way with dogs—Oatie was relaxed and happy when we got back. We wouldn’t hesitate to book them again.”

Alexa took care of my high energy dog while I was away for a weekend and did an amazing job! She took him on walks to get his energy out and was very communicative the entire time. My house was left in perfect condition when I came home, and I could rest easy knowing my pup was in good hands. Highly recommend!

Sophie was a great house/pet sitter! She came over for a meet and greet and was very patient with our anxious dog Stevie and ensured both dogs got their medications. We got multiple updates and photos throughout the day and Sophie was responsive to updates/requests. Highly recommend!

Joseph was awesome! He sent over updates and photos throughout our trip and was quick to communicate back to us when we had any questions. He did overnight and was so respectful of our space (he even pulled the sheets off the bed and threw stuff into the washer, which was so nice). Our dog loved him, and we enjoyed seeing their interactions on our ring camera. We came home to a very happy dog and will absolutely try to grab Joseph to book again for any future trips.

Esther took wonderful care of both my cat Oliver and my home while I was away on vacation. I came home to a happy cat and Esther kept me updated on him while I was away. I highly recommend her as a cat-house sitter and will definitely seek her out again when I travel.

Alia was amazing, she made sure to give me daily updates and pictures. She was even willing to add an additional drop by visit when our return time changed to make sure our dogs and cats were properly cared for while my husband and I were away for a week. The house was all cleaned up and she even went beyond what we asked of her!

Jenna did an absolutely great job petsitting our dog and four cats for two weeks. All the pets were happy and healthy upon our return and the house was well taken care of - even the plants and the birdfeeder in the backyard. She sent us daily reports with photos, which was very reassuring, being far away from home.

Aashna is the perfect sitter for my 4 year old Pom Gus. She’s very punctual , and I can tell from the pictures she sent that Gus was comfortable and happy around her. She followed his care instructions really well and communicated regularly. I would 100% use her again and I highly recommend her.

Andrea is a phenomenal dog sitter! She took care of my pup for a week and treated her like a princess the whole time. My dog has urinary incontinence and we recently switched her meds and were figuring out the new dosage. She was very patient and cleaned up after my pup had a few accidents during the week. Andrea gave us daily updates and pictures and even cleaned up the place and washed the bedsheets on the last day! I highly recommend her and will absolutely be reaching out to her for help again :)
