“I had to go out of town unexpectedly and had never used a pet sitter before. Jaden responded almost immediately after I messaged on Tuesday, came for a meet and greet on Wednesday, and was sitting with my dog and cats on Thursday. My dog is very suspicious of everything, and not having used a pet sitter before, I was concerned on how she would react. Jaden was very patient with her. He also kept me updated with pictures and messages on how things were progressing, which made me feel much better. I couldn’t be more pleased with how he cared for my pets and would definitely contact him. Thanks Jaden!”


About: I have been taking care of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and insects for my whole life. I have worked at doggy daycare facilities and as a dog trainer for both obedience and agility. I am experienced with senior dogs, disabled dogs, and puppies. I absolutely love anything related to animals, so I am very diligent with their care. I am currently out of college for the summer, so I have complete availability. I am very flexible and not worried about any scheduling issues. I can easily follow directions for your pet's care and make sure they are safe, happy, and healthy! I am a huge cleaner, so messes won't be an issue.

“Really happy with Sydney's house sitting services. She was very communicative and trustworthy in our home while we were gone... and our pup really seemed to have enjoyed her company! We will definitely book Sydney again, and would recommend her to others as well!”

“Lauren is amazing! Everyone was beyond cared for and she sent lots of pictures. Always thoughtful, prompt and a great communicator! I feel secure with her keeping our pets happy and safe while we're gone :)”

“We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!”

“Becky did absolutely amazing as a house and dog sitter. She was always in touch and our babies were in love with her. What was really amazing is that she must have a magic touch. Our doggie took to her just about right away and our youngest cat who nobody who is taken care of her has ever seen came out and said hi. For these reasons, I would highly recommend her. The house was in good shape and I felt comfortable and secure having her take care of everything for us. I’m new to this app however I would say if you see her name, then look no further. She is the best.”

“Kayla was the best!!! She is extremely loving with my animals and did an excellent job taking care of them when I was out of town. Tons of pictures and updates!!! She was great!!!”

“Ashley is incredible! Her and her son actually left our house nicer than we left it for her. She went way above what was expected of her like she vacuumed our house totally not necessary but we sure did appreciate it. Most definitely she will become a part of this family in some capacity.”

“Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
About: I've taken care of pets and animals since I was 10. I've had experience with birds, fish, turtles and tortoises, dogs, cats, geckos, small rodents(guinea pigs, bunnies, mice, rats, ferrets, etc.) I have no issues with needing to give the animal medicine or extra care in any way. I'll be able to visit in the mornings, afternoon, and night Wednesday-Saturday. I can stop by anytime 4a-midnight. I can drop in 1-5 times a day. I have no issues with crating or using a muzzel when needed. I love being around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I can't take them on walks but I can play with them in a yard or house.

About: I have four years of experience working at two doggy daycares, Canine Clubhouse and Camp K9, along with a year of experience dog walking for families. I’ve always had a strong love and passion for dogs, and I truly care about their happiness, well-being, and overall comfort while they are in my care. While I’m currently applying for full-time marketing positions, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fully dedicate my time and attention to caring for dogs. Whether I’m in my home or a client’s home, I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I also make sure pets receive plenty of attention, love, and supervision so they feel happy while their owners are away.
“Emerson was fantastic! She stayed at the house for almost a week with a dog and two cats. She walked the dog and took care of the cats. She took pictures of the animals (even some of the cutest pictures). The house is in great shape and left in the same condition. Thank you Emerson! Definitely recommend her.”

“Debra took exceptional care of our babies just like they were her own. When we came home they were so relaxed which is everything we hope for when we have to leave them. Thank you!!”

Goldsboro pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sara took excellent care of our Pets and home. She was very accommodating of the specific requests we had and maintained consistent communication with us via text message. Sara was even willing to drive back to our house on a moment's notice for one additional night of pet/house sitting when our flight was delayed for several hours and we couldn't be back in time take care of the dogs; she went above and beyond for us. THANK YOU Sara!
