It’s always a little stressful when a trusted petsitter moves away and I need to find a new one. Marlita was great from the start, very professional and responsive to messages. She sent pictures and updates while we were gone. We just got back from a weekend trip and the whole crew here is happy and healthy. I’m so glad we found Marlita, and grateful I have someone I can trust whenever we go away.

About: I started doing rover because of my own negative experiences with past pet care providers. I wanted to be the right pet sitter for pet owners so they can have peace of mind when they are away. I’ve had pets my entire life, and have such a deep love for animals of all kinds! I am currently working from home with a-lot of downtime during the day and am able to step out if need be at any point! my schedule is incredibly flexible I treat everyone’s pets as if they are my own! I have 2 cats whom I view as my children and care for them with an immense amount of love

Jay is the best. My Thunder who is a 75lb American Pitbull loves him and for anyone with this breed that once they trust you there is no such thing as personal space. This breed gets a bad reputation but they are cuddle buddies. Book him now and often you will not regret it!

Jade was our Superwoman to our 2 energy and overly needy (in affection) pitbulls. They had a great time with her, including many walks, lots of naps. Jade was professional, confident, capable and kept us amused with photos and videos. We will be contacting her again! Thanks Jade!!

Nicole was the first pet sitter I ever used, and I couldn't have asked for a better person. She was professional, highly communicative, and adept at caring for my senior rabbit and cats. My senior rabbit required medication throughout, which she managed well. It was reassuring to have Nicole there for my pets, and her evident love for animals and experience shone through. Amazing Housesitting! I would highly recommend her with a 10/10 rating.

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

About: Our Why? We have Huskies, and while still offering our service to other breeds, we highlight that it takes a fellow Husky owner to understand what a Husky needs. Despite their mischievous shenanigans, Houdini escape attempts, endless fur-sheddings, high-pitched vocalizations, bubbly, energized personalities, and hyperactive frolicking, we adore huskies. We understand finding experienced, dependable, loving, and trustworthy caregivers for your Husky isn't easy. That's why we are here to help. We currently have two friendly young huskies (one male and one female- fixed and crate-trained). We also have experience with English bulldogs, Sharpeis, Chow-Chows, Labs, Doodles, and Boxers. We only offer care for dogs based upon the comfortability of the match to our pet-care style and demeanor. We love our pets as we will love yours. We are focused on weekends, holidays, and summer care. We are open to possible weekday arrangements if your dog is crate-trained. Before booking us, a drop-by visit is required to test the compatibility of all humans and dogs. A few things: Special note-while we have never owned a French bulldog, we are particularly interested in learning to care for this breed. Your pet must be spayed or nurtured to receive boarding in our home. Also, we are sorry but we cannot offer care for full or mixed Pit Bull breeds. How does pet care fit into your daily and weekly lives? Our pets receive two meals a day, comprising dry food and water. Our pets are crate-trained and remain crated when owners are away. Most of the time, there is an adult in the house. Our dogs can access a large fenced backyard with green grass and trees. Our dogs walk with owners through nearby Branch Brooke Park and visit the dog park almost daily. Our dogs are crated during adult meal times and sleep in the main bedroom on the floor, side couch, or end of bed at night. We maintain a clean home and provide puppy pads during inclement weather to avoid mud and chaos. Pets have access to some rooms, but not all rooms in the house. Toys and treats are provided regularly. Linens on beds where animals may sleep are washed and switched out regularly. Our gate is blocked off on both sides because huskies are known for escaping. Our pets have ID collars and ID dog tags and wear GPS trackers during the day. Our dogs are up-to-date on immunizations and have been spayed/neutered. We don't hit our dogs with our hands or objects but use basic word commands. Training dogs is always a work in progress. They are both loved for their uniqueness. We only plan to care for pets in our home. We have a large and welcoming home.

About: With over 10 years of pet care experience, I have nurtured a deep understanding of the unique needs and behaviors of various animals. From dogs and cats to birds, etc. I've provided compassionate care, ensuring their well-being and happiness. My experience encompasses everything from basic feeding and walking routines and playing. I prioritize building strong bonds with pets and their owners, fostering trust and confidence in my abilities to provide exceptional care. My schedule for pet sitting is quite flexible and can be tailored to meet your needs. Generally, I am available after 3:00pm from Monday-Friday and available all day on Saturdays and Sundays. However, I recommend contacting me with specific dates and times you require pet sitting services, so we can discuss availability and ensure I can accommodate your schedule accordingly. Additionally, I am open to overnight stays and extended periods of care if necessary. Whether caring for pets in my own home or at a client's home, my approach remains centered on providing the highest level of comfort, safety, and companionship for the animals entrusted to my care. I have three dogs (two small poodles and one medium sized golden doodle) as well as (two cats).

About: Our pets give us unconditional love, so I’ll make sure they feel that same love when I’m around. Whether it’s going on a walk, playing with their favorite toys or simply taking care of their essential needs, I am committed to providing a service that reflects the joy they bring into our lives. Currently, I’m working from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am available for drop-in visits and walks early mornings, late afternoons, and evenings if needed. I can easily adapt into their unique lifestyle by conducting an initial meet and greet, getting to know their preferences, and tailoring a routine in accordance to their needs.

We were delighted to be Joni’s first customers! We had a very last-minute, heavy-lift request for Joni and she did a fantastic job. We have a young puppy that can’t leave our apartment or be left alone for more than a few hours, and we needed someone to watch her for a full week. She was also on a special diet and meds for some tummy issues. Joni stayed in our apartment and not only took care of our puppy but also took care of the apartment and left it in better condition than we left it! Joni is a sweetheart and I believe she’d put her all into any dog entrusted to her care.

Deb was great with Pebbles (formerly Mogwai). Pebbles is our new 10 month old puppy. We adopted her about 1 1/2 weeks before we had to go away for the weekend so we were very concerned about Pebbles adjusting. Everything went fine. Deb understood what Pebbles needed and kept us informed during the weekend. It made for a smooth weekend. I would highly recommend Deb to anyone!

She sent images of Bruce that kept us smiling while we were on our vacation, and we knew he was having a good time with her. I think she gave Bruce more walks and quality time than we’re usually able to give - so we hope to have her stay next time we’re out of town, too.
