“It was our second time hiring Elizabeth, another positive experience. My pooch likes his walks and we are grateful she is ok with taking him. She is great with giving updates and sending photos. Upon return the house was just as we left it.”

“Emily did a great job watching my pups, and chickens. Easy and quick communication, she took the pups on some adventures as well. Highly recommend her and would use her again.”

“We were very happy with the communication and attention to detail while watching bella. Not only did she take great care of our dog but also our house 🧡 we would definitely recommend her and use her in the future”

“Riley continues to be our first choice - our high maintenance and not super friendly boys love her, and we really appreciate the extra stuff she does for us like watering the plants!”

“Charley was amazing with our pup Maisy! She was calm and happy when we got home from an 8 day trip. PLUS - our house was spotless! Fantastic job, we will use him again.”

“Catherine did a great job. She took great care of our dog and two cats. She asked a lot of great questions that I wouldn’t have even thought about. Very thoughtful and thorough. We will definitely be asking her to petsit again.”


About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Carrianne is the best!!! She is always keeping us in the loop with updates and pictures. She takes such good care of our pup and our home when we are out of town! Simply the best!!!❤️”

About: I am a former dog handler that worked at a doggy day care where I cared for multiple dogs daily, managing different temperaments and energy levels. I’m experienced in supervising play, maintaining safety, and keeping dogs calm, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ve also owned dogs and cats in my lifetime as well! Genuinely an animal lover. I’m available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have open availability on weekends. I offer flexible scheduling for walks, drop ins, and pet sitting, and I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine. I prioritize a safe, calm, and clean environment. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow routines closely, and make sure every pet feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.
“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Maiah and would absolutely recommend her. Our beagle can be a bit high-maintenance, but Maiah was so great with her. It gave us peace of mind knowing our pup was in trustworthy, kind, and capable hands. Maiah was also an excellent communicator--we received regular updates, photos, and quick responses, which made it easy to relax while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again!”

“Jessica was great! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures! My boys are a handful and don't like strangers, so if she can handle them she can handle any high maintenance pups!”

“This was Lily’s first time house sitting Kai and she exceeded my expectations. She clearly developed a great connection with Kai, did a really nice job keeping me connected/informed, and overall left the house looking like it did when I left. I so much enjoyed her texts, pictures and video clips. Thank you Lily!”

“I’ve had Melissa watch my pups multiple times now and it makes traveling so much easier. She is very attentive to the dogs needs makes sure to give them the stimulation they need. I will continue booking her for when I’m traveling”

“Jackie was great. This was our first time having someone come to our house to watch our (almost) 11 year old chocolate lab. He can be finicky and has pretty strong anxiety, but Jackie was great with updates, and when we came home, Otis seemed in great shape...much better than taking him somewhere else. Would highly recommend Jackie, especially to anyone who is new to Rover and unsure of whether or not to book.”

“Evelyn did a fantastic job taking care of our pup for a long weekend. She made sure he had food, plenty of walks, and all the snuggles while we were gone. Thanks for everything, Evelyn!!”

“Julianna was incredible! She stayed at my house for a week while we were gone to watch Sophia. She kept me updated on everything that was going on and gave her some extra love when she needed it. Sophia doesn’t love being away from us but Julianna made sure she was okay and did everything she could to make sure she was happy! Would definitely recommend her <3”
“Travis was excellent. Great communication, very responsive. Felt comfortable him taking care of our dogs. Will definetly use him in the future. Enjoyed getting pictures everyday of the dogs. Came home to a spotless house. Definetly 5 star.”

“Amelie and Stephen sat for our dog, Dexter, and our cat, Lucy, while we were out of town for a weekend. We felt incredibly assured during our time away that our pets were being well cared for and provided with lots of love. We were given consistent updates on how the stay was going and what our animals were up to. They graciously provided many pictures during the stay that continued to provide us with a sense of calm knowing our fur babies were in very good hands. We have already rebooked with them for a future trip, and will continue to do so! We cannot recommend them enough!”
Garden Homes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Riley was such a relief for our first time using Rover for Willow since an unfortunate first experience with another pet. Not only did we have a short notice stay request but she also suggested to do a meet and greet prior to her stay to make sure both her and Willow weee comfortable. She was so flexible, great with communication and sent lots of pics! Will absolutely use Riley again when we need a sitter :)

Marilia was wonderful! Our cat, Zoe, was clearly in highly experienced, responsible, and caring hands. Marilia kept in close touch with any questions that came up and send regular updates. The entire experience gave us great peace of mind and we hope to hire Marilia for future cat-care needs.

Flor was an EXCELLENT sitter to our dog Toast! We left on a trip for 5 days and she took amazing care of not only our dog, but our house as well! She was a great communicator and sent a ton of pictures! She also was great at giving our dog his medicine. We would absolutely book Flor again!

Jamila was amazing with my senior dog Vladimir! She’s helped with feedings and overnights at my house. She is kind, thoughtful, and Vlad loved her! She followed all my instructions and handled my old man with care. We will be asking her to watch Vlad again in the near future! I’m grateful to have found her!

Nicole was simply fantastic. Walter is a new rescue, and has only been with me for about two weeks before I had to travel for work. Nicole kept all of my anxiety about leaving him at Bay, she was incredibly communicative, very patient with my anxious, crazy boy, and even left me a full page document of notes about her observations on him as I’m continuing to understand who he is. While I was away, I was telling some of the individuals I was with about everything she was doing for Walter and they all begged me to give them her information. Will absolutely be reaching out to Nicole in the future!

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! From start to finish, communication was absolutely amazing. We got detailed daily updates that made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Hope was super transparent and went above and beyond to make sure Loki was happy and well cared for. It was clear he was in great hands the whole time. Truly an outstanding sitter and we’d recommend her to anyone and book her again in a heartbeat! Thanks Hope 💕
