House Sitting in Garner

“Kelly was absolutely spectacular with our dog, who is a bundle of nerves and we’ve never left before. She took the time to meet him in advance and answer all our questions. She sent us daily pictures and really put our minds at ease! We will not hesitate to ask for her services again. We are so thankful to have found Kelly!!”

“Erika is a great pet sitter for our two (Max and PJ) And, thank you Erica for making a quick positive opportunity to try a overnight visit on short notice. Thank you Erica.”

“Whitney was absolutely fantastic, and we could not have asked for a better house sitter for Beau and Gracie. From the start, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly experienced with dogs. While we were away, she kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us total peace of mind. Beau and Gracie were clearly comfortable and happy with her, and it was obvious she took the time to understand their routines, personalities, and quirks. Our home was also left in great shape, which we really appreciated. It is not easy to trust someone with both your pets and your home, and Whitney exceeded expectations on all fronts. We would not hesitate to book her again (and are actually already booked again) and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive sitter.”

“She did a fantastic job watching our older dog, Ajax, who she has watched several times and our new crazy puppy!! Will always recommend Joan.”

Kimberly L.

“Thanks again for taking care of our girl Willow! Taylor is the best! We always enjoy our trip knowing our girl is with the best sitter. She always gives us updates and pics!”

Jessica H.

“Leslie was a great choice to take care of our dog for a week. She was dependable, sent updates and left the house clean. Would happily hire her again!”

Alison G.

“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”

Ed C.

“Alex did a great job! Especially since one of my dogs got an infected paw pad right before she came so she had to deal with some unexpected medical care on top of it being her first time with my dogs. She kept me up to date with pics and vids and I will definitely book her again!”

Anne H.

“Miya was amazing with my pets! She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated with pictures and messages while I was away. I came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy house. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

Brittany B.

“First time having an overnight sitter for our dog and Katherine was amazing! Very communicative and sweet with our baby! We are so happy we found her!!”

Kaitlyn G.

“Dawn was incredible! We came home to two very happy, healthy, and well loved pups. I was unavailable to contact sometimes due to our trip and she was still very diligent in sending photos, videos, and updates! My larger pup has had some health scares and Dawn was very detailed in her notes and was willing to take her to the vet immediately upon a small change in behavior but waited for my input ☺️. I will definitely be reaching out to Dawn in the future for any of our needs. I’ve never felt so confident and comfortable in the care our dogs received. We got our honeymoon and our dogs got almost two weeks of spoiling! Not to mention that this was a last minute booking due to our other sitter canceling with less than a weeks notice for a 12 day trip!!”

Joia S.

“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”

Susan R.

“Isabelle and Olivia were wonderful. They took great care of our dogs, and our home, exceeding our expectations and fulfilling our hopes for lots of attention and love. We received updates with pictures and video a couple times a day. We couldn’t be more pleased, and have them booked them again 😃.”

Michael J.

“Susan was wonderful with Rory and Griffin. I could tell they both received lots of love and attention and Rory got plenty of active time. She kept me updated often with pictures and she left the house how she found it. Definitely recommend her as a sitter and would definitely be happy to book her again.”

Ruth L.

“I was very anxious to leave my pup with someone because he’s only ever been watched by family and can be a bit sassy but Sarah took great care of him and I felt very comfortable with her watching him!”

Madeline K.

“Fantastic and flexible, my dog had a great time with her and I have had no issues!”

About: Animal care has always been a part of my life. When I was 10, I began dog-walking and cat-sitting for my neighbors, and by 18, I began house-sitting with pets as well. Prior to Rover, I have cared for dogs and cats repeatedly for over 15 families, house sitting for over 10. I have given medication to aging cats and dogs, maintained training practices for young puppies, and handled dogs of various temperaments. (Not to mention birds, chickens, reptiles, arthropods… I also used to care for farm animals as part of my job at a farm market). I have my own cat, and my family has always had dogs and cats; I understand the peace of mind that comes from a responsible pet sitter. I miss caring for dogs, as I have moved away from my clientele in Florida, and I would love to help care for your pets. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule and completely free weekends. I am generally in the office from 8-5 Mon-Fri, but I can flex my time and leave for lunch breaks (with plenty of time for a midday walk, depending on your location). I wake up early, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets in the morning, and again in the evening. When pet-sitting, I strive to spend as much time with the pets as possible so they don’t get lonely while their owners are away. I have my own play-motivated cat, and try to play with pets enough to tire them out. Dogs get walks in the morning, lunch-time, and the evening (and sometimes extra on the weekends). I also strive to leave the house cleaner than I found it, when house-sitting. I have my own cat at home, so I can only take house-sitting jobs nearby.

“Tammy is the best, first time using rover, and on short notice, she was incredible with my dog. She sent updates, pictures and videos. Most importantly my pup had a blast with her and being the short notice of my travel, really speaks to how Tammy is able to connect with dogs.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! And will be utilizing her service again !!!!”

Kieran F.

“This is our second time using Julia and she is without a doubt the best ever. Can’t wait to travel again knowing that Kimber is so well taken care of.”

Rachel W.

“Rachel did a fantastic job caring for my dogs like they were her own! She had great attention to detail and great communication throughout the week. I appreciated that she sent photos of the dogs as well. Thank you Rachel!”
