“Karen communicates well, always leaves my place clean, and keeps my dog Reese happy while I'm away! She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure he is cared for.”

About: I have extensive experience caring for senior pups and administering medications. I’ve cared for all types of dogs, from nine to ninety pounds! I love pets and I’d love the opportunity to care for your four legged friend!. I currently work part-time and I’m off school for the summer! My schedule is very flexible and easy to work around. I have no conflicts which can’t be worked around! I’d prefer to care for your pet in your own home, as I have a pup of my own and she can be a little persnickety!
“Caleb did such an amazing job with our two cats, and high energy golden retriever. He spent quality time with all the animals, sent us updates and communicated great with us every day of our five day trip. We came home to a spotless house and happy animals!”

“Junbo is fantastic! I can't recommend her enough. She took care of my cat and high energy puppy when I was out of town for a week. She not only took my dog for a walk but took him to different hikes everyday. She takes care of the pets not just out of responsibility and accountability but also the enthusiasm and joy of being out with them. She truly enjoys the company and loves the pets she's tasked to take care of. She sends lots of photos and videos and gives frequent updates on their daily routine. Again, I highly recommend her for all the services that she offers. Will certainly hire her gain for house sitting. Thank you Junbo!!!”

“Mandy took great care of my cats while I was gone and was very kind and helpful throughout the process :) sent lots of pictures and updates and I felt very comfortable and grateful to have my cats looked after by a professional and caring caretaker!”

“Kathleen really is the best! I’d give her 6/5 stars if I could. She was not only timely with the girls’ schedule, she sent us updates everyday along with pictures of them. We could tell how much she cared for the girls and we can’t thank her enough. Our cat was dealing with some vomiting issues, but Kathleen was on top of keeping us updated and making sure she was doing ok. We can’t recommend her enough!”

“Raquel was amazing and very friendly, the dogs really warmed up to her quickly. Quick in responding and and highly communicative. Would recommend her and would book again.”


“Jason was absolutely fabulous with our old man MoMo. He was super communicative and my dog was a happy old man when I returned. The house was spotless. Would definitely hire Jason again, especially with an older dog who I am always nervous about leaving.”
“Kristy was phenomenal!! My dog, Mochi, was clearly very well taken care of, along with my house. Kristy provided multiple updates throughout the day, was very thorough in her questions about care, and was always responsive. Mochi can be quite reactive to other dogs and Kristy did a great job managing this and letting him have fun on walks. It was truly so nice to have peace of mind during my time away - including over 4th of July! Will be booking again for sure and would highly recommend : )”

“Adrien’s care of Linus (both physical and emotional) and thoughtful updates were just wonderful. The biggest sign to me of a top-notch dog sitter is how my dog is when I am back and walking him again on leash as he can be a frustrated greeter and reactive on leash, and my dog had improved! Already booking Adrian again.”

About: I’m a dog parent and PhD student with 4+ years of walking and caring for my own reactive dog, and 17 years of petsitting dogs, cats, small mammals, and lizards. My goal in pet care of any kind is making sure your pets feel as safe, loved, and happy as possible. I’m very comfortable working with reactivity in dogs and will ask all dog owners what their dog’s limits and preferences are with common triggers during walks. I also have experience with senior dog care and medication administration. I’m a PhD student with a flexible work schedule during the school year and full daytime availability during the summer. I am also a part-time musician. The safety and comfort of your pets is my most important priority. I commit to following the “leave no trace” rule when visiting in client’s homes.

“The Rovers I depended on pre Covid moved away and I got used to just being at home with Madison. Aileen is amazing with Madison. Madison knows her as “her people” now and Madison’s mom was able to get away for a day of being around people without any worries. The fact that Madison didn’t scream. Or care really that I left made me have a better day. Thank you!”

“Margaret’s got great energy, my dog chills out quickly even with his separation anxiety and goes back to being one with the couch (his usual home behavior). Will absolutely book again!”

“Allison is amazing, a true gem! She was very communicative while house sitting and watching our pups, and genuinely cared about their health and wellbeing. I can't recommend her enough!”
“I really enjoyed having Brittany care for Junebug! She brought great energy, authenticity, thoughtfulness as well as groundedness to caring for June. I had a lot of instructions and she was great about following them. I also really appreciated that she was so communicative while I was on vacation -- which I don't experience a lot with other Rover sitters; communication is something that I highly value when I'm an anxious parent leaving my my baby behind -- especially with someone I don't know at first so she put me at ease and I felt safe and secure leaving my dog Junebug behind. I would definitely use her again as a sitter!”
“Noah was an absolutely fantastic dog sitter! He was reliable, communicative, and treated my dog with so much genuine care and attention. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear my pup felt comfortable and happy the entire time. I couldn’t recommend Noah more highly!”

“Sofía was great! One of my dogs is quite nervous around new people and Sofia was great with her. She provided regular updates and pictures. My dogs were relaxed and happy when I came home. I would recommend her!”

Hawthorne Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
What a treat to know our pets were well loved and taken care of while away, then happy to have us home and right back into our normal routine with ease. Charlotte was wonderful watching our dog and cat while we were on vacation, sharing cute pictures and making sure they were comfortable and cuddled, plus other household things as needed like packages.

Ryan took the absolute best care of our 15-year-old dog, Bevs, for 6 days while we were in Cancun! This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving Bevs with someone we didn’t know personally, so we were definitely a bit anxious. However, after meeting Ryan, we could instantly tell that he was reliable and showed genuine care for animals. 5 days before our trip, Bevs ate something bad and was dealing with stomach issues. We had to make some last-minute changes to her meal plan and care routine, and Ryan did a phenomenal job following her entire regimen, which can definitely be extra work with a senior dog. He sent daily updates that reassured us she was improving each day and being very well cared for. Ryan also took great care of our home and even washed the towels and sheets he used before we returned, which was incredibly thoughtful. We truly could not recommend Ryan enough!

Kathryn was great to work with! She met with our dog in advance of house sitting for some “get to know you” walks and when the time came, he was excited to her! She was very flexible with our ever changing plans and was always sure to update us on her arrivals/departures. Would highly recommend her services & we would gladly have her watch our dog again!

🐾Liane was a PERFECT house sitter for our four pets🐾 We could tell from the way she followed our instructions on our pet’s routines, to being able to give pet medicine, to taking care of our elderly dog, keeping the house clean, and sending us cute updated photos. Could not recommend her more highly; book her now—you don’t need to look any further🐾

Sana was a caring and attentive cat sitter, and really communicative/flexible when a key handoff did not go as planned (my fault). She let me know about some symptoms my cat (who was recovering from some health issues) was showing, and went the extra mile to help me feel okay about being away from him. Would definitely re-book!

Angel was absolutely wonderful! We had a last second request and he was quick to respond, was so communicative and professional, and did an amazing job caring for our pups! He sent such thorough updates and pics during his stay and we felt so grateful to have our pups in such good hands. We highly recommend his services!! 😊
