About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.

“An incredibly thoughtful, kind, thorough, and all-around fantastic dog-sitter. We hired Anthea to care for our two pups (one a young very timid yet somehow still energetic yorkie mix rescue pup, the other a geriatric parsons Russell terrier who is dealing with some doggie dementia), and she was incredible. Met both dogs where they were were at and went above and beyond in the care for the pups and the care for our home. Gave our pups lots of attention, exercise, and love; gave us detailed updates and lots of photos on how the pups were doing; and we retuned to a home in better condition than it was when we left for the weekend! The Mary Poppins of dog-sitters!”

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.
“Dylan did an outstanding job with my cat and a dog. Especially my dog with special needs. He has diabetes and has to have two shots a day. Dylan was able to figure it out and do a great job with the shots. I felt like I didn’t have to worry at all about my Pets because I knew they were in great hands. I would have no hesitation in recommending Dylan as a Pet Sitter in your home.😊👍”

“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”

“Imani did an incredible job caring for my senior Chihuahua and two cats! Our lil elderly guy has congestive heart failure and requires life-saving medication every morning and night — missing a dose could trigger a serious episode where he can’t breathe properly. As you can imagine, I was very anxious about leaving him for the first time since his diagnosis. But Imani was everything I could’ve hoped for in a sitter — attentive, reliable, and so kind with my animals. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet & greet, kept me updated with lots of photos, and made sure everyone was safe and loved while I was away. I’ll absolutely be rebooking her for future house sitting and check-ins. Thank you so much, Imani!! 🥹❤️”

“Tashi has watched our German Shepherd Lua several times, and each time he’s gone out of his way to provide great care for her! We always receive timely updates on Lua’s well being, as well as photos. Tashi also did a great job keeping Lua engaged while we were gone, complete with playtime each day in the backyard. Thanks Tashi!!”

About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, have been feeding stray cats in my neighborhood for years, and I've been pet-sitting for the past 6 years! I've watched all kinds of animals, including big and small dogs, friendly and scaredy-cats, a dog who wore diapers, and a blind dog. My animal care experience also includes chickens, goats, cows, and bearded dragons! I've never been one to shy away from any animal, no matter what its needs are. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'm free all day to watch your pets! Call on me early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between, and I'll be available. I am dedicated to understanding each pet's particular needs so I can provide quality care and companionship for them. I'm also committed to keeping your home clean, and I'm not scared of cleaning up any messes your animals may make. I'm easy to reach by phone, so you don't need to worry about contacting me for any reason.

“Amanda was an excellence sitter. She was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful not only with my pet but with me. She provided moral support for me as I was getting ready to go through surgery. I would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for your pet. She definitely trustworthy and your pet will be in good hands.”


“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”

“Roree is an excellent dog sitter. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She keeps us updated with pictures and texts on how Willow is doing. Willow loves Roree!!!! The house is spotless when we return. When we book with her she communicates quickly with us. She is very conscientious and always arrives on time. We are so pleased to have found her!!!”

“Lyla was a fantastic dog/house sitter! We got pictures and updates each day we were gone. Our pups were treated like her own and they were genuinely loved while we were gone. There’s nothing better than leaving and not having stress because Lyla was there with them! Everything was clean, dogs were walked and Lyla was great at communicating. Hoping we get the opportunity to have her sit for our pups again!”

“Amy was wonderful. This was the first time I had met Amy and she was very professional. She also looks very professional in, not your average dog sitter. She asked a lot of questions which I loved. Amy is a dog lover. Amy also asks the pet parents to make contact with your local Animal Hospital. This will let them know they have permission to take your pet to your Animal Hospital if he or she needs treatment. On a sidenote, Amy was ecstatic when she saw we had a lop eared, indoor house, bunny. Amy also gave my dog all of his medication‘s correctly. I will not use Anyone else but Amy!”

“Allison was reliable, left our home spotless, and was extremely flexible and responsive when our flights got delayed and we had to add another night last minute. She made the entire experience so much less stressful and we would use her again in a heartbeat.”

About: Gigi loves all the babies! I’m a cat & dog mom and Gigi to 3 grandkitties who live right next door. Would love to spend time with your little (or big) sweetheart too. Confident with dogs of all sizes including reactive dogs, meds administration for dogs and cats, and am available for overnight care. I’m currently working from home and make my own hours so can easily work around your schedule. I’m available for drop-in’s, walks, and overnight care. I have a calm energy most animals welcome and I’m usually able to gain their trust early. Having raised 2 dogs and several cats through medical conditions and several moves, I’ve become very attuned to their body language which helps me to understand their needs and wants.

“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”

“I was extremely worried about having a virtue stranger care for my darling dogs and house. I literally lost sleep for weeks before our trip. Hayden immediately put me at ease with his thoughtful, intelligent demeanor. He texted me several times a day with photos and updates. My girls clearly adore him and waited by the door for hours after he left. He also took excellent care of our home.”

Brooklyn was so good with our pups. They’re both older now and require more care. She handled all their needs so well and was always responsible about communicating with us as needed. Also appreciate how many photos she sends of our dogs through the days. Definitely recommend her services if she is available.

Allison was amazing with our two cats. She sent photos and communicated with us as much as we requested. Allison went above and beyond and assisted with fixing an issue with our garage door while we were away. I highly recommend her for your pet /house sitting needs.

Michelle took care of our dog and our home exceptionally well while we were on a family vacation. She was quick to communicate with the arrival on the first day and the departure on the last day. And she sent picture updates while we were gone as well. I was also very impressed and grateful at the condition she left the home in after staying for a week- I swear it was even cleaner than we left it. We would be happy to book her again.

Katelyn has taken care of my 2 dogs several times. She is an amazing dog sitter and I highly recommend her! My dogs need special care because one has seizures and the other one has pain and a collapsed trachea. They have a complex medication schedule and I never have to worry that they won't receive their meds in the correct amount at the correct time. Katelyn is also very experienced with animal behavior. She is like a dog whisperer! I will be having her sit for my dogs again, and soon!

Amy was quick to respond to our request to watch our puppy Jazzy. She met us the day prior for a meet and greet. Jazzy immediately took to her. Amy is a lovely person and loves animals. She asked us important questions regarding care. The day of she arrived early and already had an idea where to take Jazzy for her walk. We appreciated her checking in our birds as well. As a sitter she went above and beyond for caring for Jazzy and our 2 parakeets. We appreciated her helping us on such short notice. She provided care amazingly, gave us plenty of updates throughout the day with photos, and asked us for any additional direction. We would happily request Amy again to watch Jazzy!

She has house sit for us twice now and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust with 5 fur babies. We have two Great Danes and 3 cats with very particular personalities, and we were nervous about finding someone who would be comfortable about handling and caring for them. Skyler has done that with flying colors and we have always come home to 5 happy pets. We have another trip booked with her already and with all the stress that goes along with traveling, we have a little less knowing that our animals will be well taken care of.

Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!

Janesia was an excellent pet and house sitter! She was our first experience using Rover after our pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Janesia had great communication, was friendly and the dogs loved her. She kept in contact while we were out of town and left the house tidy when we returned. We absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and she will be our go-to for the future.

Skylar is the very best! We love her! This time, she noticed we labeled something wrong, double checked the instructions and what she has been doing during the stay, and then reached out to us to verify and notify us. I love the open communication and all the love for our fur babies!
