“Andrew did a great job with my pooches. I think they didn’t even miss me after three days being gone. He was very quick to respond and was great with the communication. The dogs instantly took to him when they met him. Would definitely use his services again.”
“Christina did an AMAZING job housesitting and watching our two fur children. She provided detailed information (via rover app, written notes left) and never hesitated to ask questions if she had concerns or additional questions about our dogs. She went above and beyond making sure our house was running smoothly while away for 11 days: she brought in our mail/packages, placed our garbage cans out for pickup. We will definitely use Christina again and highly recommend her!”
“Jason was great - he was kind enough to meet our dogs before his stay and took care of them while we were gone for a few days. Our home was spotless upon our return. Thanks, Jason!”
“Donna and Stephen dog sat/ house sat for us for an 3 day weekend. They are great! This was our first time meeting them and they bonded with our beagle, Babka, as soon as they walked into the house. They are clearly very experienced which put us very much at ease. The daily reports and photos made it clear that Babka was having a good time and was well cared for. And the house was spotless when we got home. We will definitely be booking them again!”
“Grace came to meet my dog ahead and was on time to start the pet sitting. My dog appeared happy in the pictures that were sent. Communication was good. My dog had a list of important items and Grace took care of the dog’s needs. I would recommend her.”
“Judith and Cynthia did a great job looking after our two 'giant' dogs (St. Bernard & Mastiff) for a long weekend. They were prompt, sent out updates and pcitures every day, and generally made us feel comfortable that our pups were being well taken care of. This was our first foray into getting a Rover sitter, and while we were nervous, they made it less stressful.”
“Amy was wonderful with our old husky. We loved getting daily dog pictures and videos from Amy while she stayed at our home for the week. She left the house spotless and we are so grateful for her care of both our dog and home. Absolutely recommend Amy!”
About: I owned a small dog and a fairly large one (a Rough Collie). I love animals. I want to do dog walking and sitting as my main job. I'm 5'10 and 210 lbs. I'm great with small and medium dogs. I'll take out a large dog who is leash-trained. On rare occasions, I take out extra-large dogs. Pet care will be my main priority. My other work is very flexible. I usually work from home or a cafe. For dog walking, I typically play with dogs. I'm patient, so we can take our time - even if that means sniffing every tree. I usually do dog sitting in the client's home and or yard. Occasionally, I board a small or medium-sized dog in my home. I have a small backyard/patio, which is shown in one of my photos.
“Ryan is the best! He’s punctual, communicative, and reliable, plus our dog absolutely loved him. He stayed at our house for a long weekend and we came back to it being in the same condition we left it in, no issues at all. He sent us pictures and let us know how Birdie was doing, he even left us a cute picture of her on our fridge. Highly recommend!”
“Amelia is a wonderful dog sitter. We just returned from a week long trip and Lulu seems super happy. Amelia sent us photos every day along with a little blurb about how things were going. The house is clean, Lulu’s water is fresh and we’re relieved to have had a wonderful, nice and interesting person stay, who’s actually a writer in her spare time.”
“We recently used Ella for the first time. During her stay our dog needed immediate care due to a bladder stone blocking his urinary tract. Ella did a great job recognizing the signs, communicating with me, and taking our dog to the ER. We are lucky she was willing to go the extra mile to make sure he received the care he needed.”
“Michelle went above and beyond! She cared for our zoo very well especially our senior pets! Communicated every day with updates and pics which was greatly appreciated!”
About: I have loved taking care of pets as long as I can remember! I’ve always been surrounded by dogs and would love to get to know and care for your furry friend! I currently work full time in the mornings. I am available to spend time with your pet in the late afternoon. Over the weekends I am very flexible! I will play with your pet, feed them, let them out on potty breaks, walk them, and do overnight stays when needed! I am flexible!
“Diana was TRULY outstanding‼️ She was responsive in every way and quickly learned the somewhat demanding complexity of our two weimaraners who she referred to as “the kids.” She even had to deal with an ice storm and a power outage and dudn’t Miss a beat. I would both recommend her kin a heartbeat and use her again❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️ Jill and Andrew Moot”
“Another fun weekend with Davide as our pack leader! Davide does a great job taking care of our two big dogs. We know Cooper and Bailey are safe and well cared for when Davide is watching them. I highly recommend Davide!!”

Megan D.
“My cats love Megan! She is a spectacular cat sitter. She is SO attentive to them. She's very creative and makes up the funniest games. My cats are a year old, so still kittens. One is friendly and the other one is timid. She tends to hide from strangers, even my Mom. By the second time Megan came to sit for me, my shy cat was out from under the bed to greet her! They both like to be where "Auntie Megan (Midge)" is. The real proof of her cat watching talents is when I get home from a week long trip. In the past my Mom would come over twice a day to feed them and play with the fishing poles. Before using Megan, when I would arrive home, my cats were almost unhinged. They would be all over me and at bedtime try to sleep on my face. It would take a couple of days for them to relax again. Now that I have Megan sleep over, the cats are SO RELAXED & CHILL. It's 180 degree difference. They sleep with Megan...a true test, and cuddle with her. The difference in their contentment is really obvious. More than my cats liking her, I can tell she really enjoys hanging out with them. She does some remote work while there, but my fur babies were her priority. When they walk over her laptop keyboard, she doesn't mind. They are playful adolescents. She even brought them some new mouse toys. Also, she's more into tech than I am. She introduced them to Cat TV and cat iPad games. I liked the daily photos she sent. Megan offers a very high end and loving experience for your cats. I highly recommend.”

Ella took amazing care of my two toy poodles while our family was out of town. She is responsible, trustworthy, communicates often with photos and the dogs were so happy and safe with her. I would recommend her to any of my friends and family and would absolutely use her again. Thank you Ella for a job well done!
This was the second time Anna stayed with my dog. Just like the first time, Anna sent me pictures and updates about the walks she took with my dog and just in general how things were going. She left my home spotless and even washed the towels and sheets plus remade the bed. I highly recommend Anna as a pet sitter though it may mean she won’t be available when I need her because she’ll already be booked. She’s the best!!!
