“Andrew is my go to guy to look after Bruno. He's super quick to communicate and is very thorough and professional. He takes great pictures of Bruno and I feel at ease knowing that he's spending time with my dog while I am away.”


“Laura is one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! Fantastic communication, lots of care for my dogs and going above and beyond to make sure my pups were happy and getting everything they needed. I would recommend her to anyone!!”


“We were very happy with our experience Stephanie came by before our trip to make sure elea was going to be friendly with them. They sent us 2 photos a day to keep our minds at rest knowing the kitty was safe. Great sitter!”


“Annika was great! She was quick to get back to me about her availability, and she was willing to watch my dog on short notice. Her Rover cards always included an update and great pictures! Thank you!”



“Best Rover sitter I’ve ever had! Danielle always spent the full 30 minutes with my kitty. She gave an incredibly detailed report including pictures. I hope she never leaves Rover because she is my go-to sitter from now on!!”

“Fiona is the best! She takes so many photos and videos while you are away and gives great daily updates. She goes above and beyond with everything and is overall just a wonderful person!!”


“Kelsey was amazing and reliable with Albus! She kept his food/water/litter tidy and sent multiple photos. I never had to worry about how he was doing (and I was gone for almost a month) she played and cuddle with him plenty. I definitely recommend using Kelsey and I will book her in the future too!”


“We are traveling in an RV and had a couple of day long tours. Mishel came in to "walk" Maggie (Bicheon) once each day for about half an hour. She did fantastic and was great with her communications. Since we were in an RV we were difficult to find and it took extra effort for her to get to Maggie. I'd give her 6 stars if Rover would allow it :-)”


“Katherine is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond giving our rabbits the best care! She was so communicative throughout our trip. The love and attention she showed our animals gave me so much comfort while away. Definitely would recommend!!!”


About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover who basically grew up in a mini zoo - two awesome pups and a parade of cats. These days, I’m living the good life in Colorado with my pup, Ziggy Pawdust. Ziggy and I have been adventuring together for the past 5 years - hiking, cuddling, playing fetch like it's an Olympic sport, and making every walk feel like a mini vacation. Beyond Ziggy, I’ve had the joy of pet sitting for tons of friends - everything from couch-loving cats to spirited senior pups, and even dogs with special needs or big feelings (aka reactive personalities). I’ve got experience, patience, and a whole lot of love to give. I’d be honored to hang out with your furry best friend and treat them like one of my own! I'm between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible! I am hoping to spend some quality time with pets for their care during my day. I understand that opening someone's home to a pet sitter is a big deal, and with that, it requires respect for your home. As a homeowner myself, I will respect your home and will treat it like my own.


“Our dog situation is kinda tricky. Jonelle made us feel at ease with being able to handle it and we would recommend her to anyone. We will definitely be using her again.”


About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been dog-walking, cat-cuddling, and pet-sitting for 20+ years. From bouncy puppies and curious kittens to mellow seniors, I know every pet has their own vibe and I’m here to match it! Whether it’s playtime, meds, litter box duty, long walks, or just cozy hangouts, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own pack (or pride!). Plus, you’ll get cute updates so you never miss a tail wag or purr. Let’s make sure your furry friend has the best time while you’re away! 🐾✨ I work remotely, which means I can easily work from your home and give your pet plenty of attention, snuggles, and play throughout the day. Walks, play breaks, and keeping them company fit naturally into my routine and I love making sure they feel cared for and happy while you’re away! I stick closely to your pet’s personal routine from feeding times to play, walks, and any special care they need. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own space and, if they’re up for it, I love taking dogs on fun outings to the park or nearby trails for extra exercise and adventure!
