“Kevin was our saving grace! We had to change sitters last-minute and Kevin stepped in without a glitch. He is very responsive and attentive. He spent tons of quality time with Toby and always kept us in the loop. Good sense of humor too. Would definitely book with him again.”
“Omar was a wonderful sitter for my dog. I am very glad I found him. He sent me timely updates with photos of what he was doing to keep my dog happy and he followed all the directions I left for him. I was very pleased with the experience and would gladly use him again to watch my pup.”
“Our dogs can be shy around people. They were immediately relaxed around Stephanie at the meet and greet. She was communicative leading up to the stay and sent us daily photos. We felt comfortable leaving our dogs with her and would use her again.”
“Malek took care of our anxious dog during an extended trip out of state. He made a very good contact with our dog and kept me informed about how they were doing. Malek stayed at our house during the sit. Overall, I had peace of mind while traveling and I highly recommend Malek.”
“Jules did a great job caring for our mini goldendoodle. She checked in daily, asked questions and followed all instructions. Our house was in great shape when we returned. We already booked her again!!”
“I always feel at ease when Lisa stays in my apartment and takes care of my dog and cat. Lisa is very kind, gentle, patient, and responsible. She is also a great communicator sending me updates and pictures throughout the day. When I got home, my apartment was very clean. I am so grateful for her.”
“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”
“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”
“I had a last minute trip come up and Mari went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day after I contacted her. She was very attentive when I explained daily tasks and she asked insightful questions that showed she really knows animals and wanted to make sure my cat was happy. She sent me updates every day and always responded to me right away. Thanks so much, Mari!”
“Erin is THE BEST!!!! She literally came to the rescue when we had an emergency need for a pet sitter- we have 2 dogs and 2 cats and were in a bit of a panic. Erin jumped in and truly saved the day! She is a wonderful communicator, she sent us photos and updates the entire time we were gone. She was quick to respond to all of our questions. Our house was left spotless and most importantly our babies were all happy and healthy when we got home. She truly treats your pets like they are her own! We could not recommend her more!!!”
“You will not find a better sitter than Christina. I have had probably 7 dog sitters over the past 5 years and she is hands down the best one. I always get so nervous leaving my dogs, but I hope we never lose Christina...I felt comfortable the entire time. She is incredibly friendly and personable, trustworthy, responsive, and went above and beyond in caring for our home and the dogs. She also helped us without a second thought when our travel plans changed. Our home was emmaculate when we returned and the dogs were actually waiting in her guest room when we got back 😂 I take this to mean they loved her. One of my dogs is very timid and she immediately attached to Christina and other dog took no time to start playing with her. Both signs that they loved her. They don't do that with other sitters. All to say, I can't recommend her enough. She is amazing and we are lucky to have met her! ❤️”
“Another great visit from Julianne who stayed overnight with our dog, Harley! I was so happy to receive pictures overnight as well, knowing she was in good hands :)”
“Natalie and Edward were able to accommodate a day of (holiday at that) request for in home dog sitting of my two rambunctious dogs. Edward was timely, communicative, and playful with the dogs. I’d feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them again and would recommend!”
About: I have experience working with a variety of dog breeds, although mostly on the small side. I also have experience taking care of dogs with different medical/health needs. I have a steady 9-5, with the occasional freelance gig on the side. I’m a homebody so I’m more than happy to stay in and play with a cute dog/cat instead of going out. I love to cuddle and just chill on the couch with animals, but I’m also happy to run around while a hyper dog works out its energy!
“Minh was great! Super attentive and we got plenty of pictures of our pets while we were away for a family gathering. We absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for sitter!”

Claire M.
“I used to Claire’s supervisor at a desk job, and she is currently my go-to pet sitter. I have a special needs cat who requires a bit of extra care and attention; I don’t trust just anyone to look after him. I’ve never had an issue with Claire, and she’s always gone the extra mile to make sure he’s safe and calm. My pet always seems happy to see Claire when she visits us while I’m at home, too. As an employee, Claire was very capable and conscientious.”
Minh N.Star Sitter
“Minh was great! Super attentive and we got plenty of pictures of our pets while we were away for a family gathering. We absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for sitter!”
Forest Glen pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jules was an amazing dog sitter! She was very communicative throughout the whole process, keeping me updated and making me feel at ease. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loved her. I could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Jules to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Helene is wonderful! We love having her come housesit our dogs and cat. She always sends pictures, leaves the house clean, fulfills all her duties and our pets seem happy and well cared for when we return! We would emphatically recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative, and conscientious sitter!
Ellena watched our two dogs at our house for one week while we were away. She provided updates and photos everyday and left the house clean. We would definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again. She took great care of our pups. Thank you again!
Alexandra was amazing! I have complicated pets and she was not intimidated by my complicated feeding or medication routines. She was also excellent with all my pets - my senior dog and my nervous dog both thought she was wonderful. I would absolutely have her watch my critters again in the future.
Katie was a fantastic house sitter on our long trip. The pets were well taken care of and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were happy! She sent updates and photos the whole time letting us know if they’d eaten properly and had their medicines. It felt great knowing they were in good hands!
Julie watched my two cats while I was on vacation. Julie is absolutely amazing and extremely caring. She followed every direction I gave her and was just the sweetest pet sitter I have had the pleasure of knowing. Upon returning home, Julie left my house cleaner than how I left it. My two cats seriously miss her already! If you are looking for a trustworthy pet sitter who truly cares about your animals, look no further! Hire Julie! She is an absolute star and I will 1000% be requesting her services in the future. I am so happy to have found such an amazing sitter. Thank you Julie for your kind heart.
Alex looked after our apartment and car for two weeks while we were on vacation. She was great! She took terrific care of our playful cat who needed lots of attention, was communicative, and left our place in impeccable condition. We appreciated every day we had her looking after our Hank.
