“Mia was great with our dog while we were gone and left the house super clean! We received multiple pic updates as well, which is just the BEST when missing your pup on vacation. :)”
“Suzanne did a great job watching our German shepherd at our home. Very attentive and sent several photos and kept us updated during the time. Highly recommend!”
“As always, we are so appreciative of Joanna. We added a second dog to our family, Pepper, who is a bit more of a handful. Joanna was so communicative of how things were going and determined to keep both dogs happy and healthy. Joanna is truly the best!”
“We booked Bryttin to stay at our home for a full week to watch our 2 rescue dogs. They both have special needs (pills, high anxiety, etc.). They both took to her right away! She did an amazing job keeping us updated with texts and photos which gave me peace of mind as I knew they were being well taken care of. She was very respectful to our home and it was spotless when we returned. This was especially nice after getting in later than expected after a long drive. The dogs were happy and healthy and excited to see us. We will definitely be reaching out to Bryttin again for any dog and house sitting needs. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelle took great care of our dog Luca for the weekend! She was patient and let Luca warm up to her on his own terms and kept us updated with messages and pictures. We would definitely have her watch Luca again!”
“Matt did a wonderful job taking care of my Tuck! Matt sent lots of pictures and updates and was very attentive to all of Tuck’s special needs.”
“Thank you Brittney for taking such good care of our four fur babies! Brittney was flexible with our flight schedules and helped us when we were in a pinch!”
“Breanden was very good to my Mila! I opted to have him play tug and give her enrichment toys instead of going on walks as my pittie mix has a high prey drive and can be a bit to handle on walks for the average person. He made sure she had play time to help keep her content and I felt safe with him in my home! Will use again :)”
“Mara was a great communicator and took great care of our pup while we were gone. She left our house neater than when she got here, even vacuumed and washed the sheets. Above and beyond!”
“We have five cats (one elderly) plus a dog and Hound did a great job caring for all of them for a weekend. The house was the way we left it, dishes washed and boxes scooped. I would highly recommend him, he is a clear animal lover!”
“Emily did a great job with our (large) pups. She was patient with their quirks, and followed our requests for feeding, walks, and communication while we were away. Thank you Emily looking forward to having you sit again!”
“Madeline was an amazing house/pet sitter for our pets! We appreciated her quick responses and communication. Madeline was at the house with the pets the majority of the time. All three pets were happy and tired when we got home. :) We will definitely reach out to Madeline for future Rover housesitting and other services!”

“From the first interaction, Melanie was prompt to reply, professional, and easy going. She was an absolute delight to work with.

“Excellent care of older, picky dog with anxiety while house sitting for us. We came home to very happy dog showing off her new friend.”
About: We both have taken care of pets from a younger age. Primarily dogs, but recently we've adopted five of our own cats and fostered one rescue who's now found a loving home. We are currently employed by my family part time, so we have tons of time to take care of pets and houses! Driving isn't an issue for us either, so we're usually open to travelling far. We are both knowledgeable on taking care of pets of all sizes. Our cat currently takes meds, so meds aren't an issue! We also are willing to follow any needed safety and care instructions for your pet!
“I don’t have enough words to how incredible Brittany was! She stayed at my house with my dog for a week. Literally the best dog/house sitter e have had. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Brittany for making our trip worry free!”
About: I have cared for everything from puppies to senior dogs as well as cats, small mammals (guinea pigs, hamsters, etc), and lizards. Each animal has such personality that I am excited to learn. During the school year (September-May) I am available evenings and weekends. During the summer (June-august) I have way more flexibility and can work with your needs. I unfortunately cannot take care of any fury animals in my home due to my family members allergies. However, I will follow whatever guidelines you may have.
