“Haley is an excellent communicator. We were updated the entire time with texts, pictures and videos. We’ll definitely hire Haley again to watch our two small dogs.”

“Adam & Vaitiary are the absolute BEST! We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with them! They treat them like the princesses and are so in tune to their needs! Highly recommend!”

“Susan is an absolute gem! From the moment we met her, it was clear that she treats every pet as if they were part of her own family. She took incredible care of our sweet 19-year-old Shorkie (Rosie) and our Siberian cat (Stella) showing so much love, patience, and attention to detail. Our senior pup has particular needs, and Susan handled everything with such gentle confidence and compassion—it gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She sent regular updates, adorable photos, and thoughtful notes that made us feel connected even from afar. Our pets adored her, and it was clear they felt safe and loved in her care. Coming home to calm, happy animals was the best feeling ever. We couldn’t recommend Susan more highly—she truly goes above and beyond and has a heart of gold. If you’re looking for someone who treats your furry family members like her own, Susan is the one!”
“Quick and thorough communication before and during her care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special medication requirements and she was wonderful about making sure he got what he needed.”


“I absolutely loved having Heather take care of our precious babies. We have a doodle and a kitten and both were well taken care off. Heather spent two nights at our house with both pets. Our dog immediately took to her and was very comfortable. Our kitten is a kitten and needed some time which is normal. Heather followed our provided instructions and was kind enough to keep us updated and available when we checked in on the pets. Heather also left a follow-up note behind stating how both pets did and kept the house as it was. We are looking forward to building a long time relationship with Heather for as long as she is available.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I love going on long walks, giving belly rubs, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to their routines, energy levels, and individual quirks—whether that’s tossing a favorite toy, sticking to a feeding schedule, or just offering calm companionship. I treat every dog like family. Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I make sure every pet receives the attention, comfort, and care they deserve, whether through walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own, and their happiness, safety, and well-being are always my priority. Caring for animals is a very meaningful part of my life. While the extra income is certainly appreciated, what I value most is the opportunity to spend time with wonderful pets and give them the love, attention, and companionship they deserve. !Important! House sitting is designed for overnight care in your home and typically includes a 10–12 hour overnight stay, morning and evening walks and/or active playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. During the day, I generally check in every 6–8 hours (depending on the day of the week) to ensure your pet remains comfortable, happy, and well cared for. If your pet requires more frequent daytime visits or extended daytime supervision, please let me know in advance so we can determine whether my schedule is a good fit. If you only need care for a few daytime hours, please book a drop-in visit instead. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep things tidy. I also make sure pets are never left unsupervised in unfamiliar or unsafe situations. Building trust with both pets and their humans is at the heart of everything I do. And If it is gardening season, please ask me to tend your garden while you're away--I would love it! ;)
“Dayton is amazing! He watched my dog in my home and was wonderful. He followed all my instructions and took awesome care of him. He gave me updates and responded quickly to all messages. You will not regret having Dayton watch your pet!”
“A pet sitting angel! I was freaking out because of a last minute cancellation from another sitter, but Alex came to my rescue and took over the booking. Turns out that the other sitter cancelling was the best thing that could have happened because Alex is everything I could ever want from a sitter. They were incredibly responsive to my messages, they gave frequent updates throughout the day complete with photos, they administered medication to both my cats, they went above and beyond to even clean up the place while I was away…but most importantly, my boys seemed to absolutely adore them! Absolutely a 10/10 ✨”

About: Hi, my name is Siobhan (Shh-Von) I started recently caring for animals in a professional setting this year, but have had/cared for animals my whole life. Ask me for references, and I’d be happy to give them to you. I have experience for caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, cats, bunnies, small birds, and some experience with horses. I do work full time. I can check on your fur baby's after work in the evenings around 8pm, but I am also completely free Friday's and Saturday's! I have reliable transportation. I can come to you and your fur child when you need a check in, potty break, food, water, a walk, or overnight stay on Thursday nights or Friday nights.
“Tanja took great care of our pets and house while we were away. All of my pets took to her right away and I could tell immediately it would be a good fit for them and it really put my mind at ease knowing they would be loved and cared for while we were away. I would definitely recommend Tanja and will keep her in mind next time we need a sitter. Thanks so much Tanja!”

About: I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador. Dog care is all I do it is my main job I'm just finishing my certification in dog behaviorism I intend to train and care for dogs the rest of my life I live on a corner a lot with a large fenced yard I have a chihuahua, A husky who loves to play with everybody And I have a mini Australian Shepherd She is mainly a ball chaser.
“Alyssa has been very patient and kind with our dog, shows her lots of love, and is very punctual and reliable. We got lots of updates during their time together and she really put our minds at ease. Thank you Alyssa!”

“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”

About: Although I am new to rover, I am an experienced lifelong pet owner and excited to offer my services as a dog sitter. Your dog will not only receive care but also love and affection. My playful approach allows me to connect with dogs on a deeper level creating trust and ensuring they feel secure and loved while you are away. Since I am retired, I can structure my day around your pets existing schedule. Providing regular bathroom breaks, daily walks and playful time is essential. I want your pet to feel happy, comfortable and keep to their usual routine. I'll keep you up to date with photos and quick notes to ensure your peace of mind. I follow the instructions you provide so your furry friend stays in routine and is comfortable. I'm mindful of potty breaks and each dogs personality and energy level so I can adjust our activities to best suit their needs. I have a very large completely fenced yard to play in and am happy to come to your home if that is where your pet happiest.
