“Lulu was such a nice, polite young lady. She truly seemed to love Molly and my baby truly seemed comfortable with her. The photos sent were heartwarming, reassuring, and appreciated. Thank you, Lulu!!”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our 2cats and 2 dogs. She really went above and beyond. She left the home in excellent condition, and even washed the sheets and towels! She got our mail and packages for us while we were gone and took out our trash for us. Communication was excellent and we received pics of our fur babies during our trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.
“We have had many Rover sitters care for our dogs while away from home. Most of them have been good or great to work with. Deidre is in top tier of sitters. She is communicative, compassionate and was very considerate throughout her time caring for our senior dog. We plan to continue to work with her and give her our highest endorsement.”

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

“Rachel is the best! We just moved to our area and I was so glad that we found her to watch our 2 dogs and cat before our 4th of July trip. Our pets loved her and we will definitely ask her to dog sit again.”

“Emily was awesome. She took wonderful care of our pups and sent a lot of fun pictures and videos. We felt free to enjoy our vacation knowing our babies were in great hands!!! We came home to happy dogs. We would definitely hire Emily again.”


“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“Saffron LOVED Jason! She warmed up to him super quickly and could tell each day he was the perfect fit to watch her while we were gone; lots of snuggles, neighborhood walks, and zoomies. This is the first time someone non-family has watched her and Jason made the experience so seamless with check ins and being super responsive via messages. We look forward to him staying with her again!”

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”

“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”

“Jennifer’s pet and house sitting service was great. She communicated very well, both before and during her stay. She provided both photos and updates each day. Would definitely book her again.”

“Great having Saige as my first sitter! We met at a Starbucks to do a meet and greet and I instantly felt comfortable. Scary bringing a stranger into your home these days, so I was thankful she was open to answering any questions and wanted me to feel comfortable. Days later, I then had Saige come to my home to meet my cat and see the space to ensure she would also be comfortable sitting at my home. She petsitted or pet sat(?) lol, for 4 days and there’s hardly a hint that she was ever here - meaning she left the place as she found it and didn’t leave a mess or anything. I don’t think my kitty ever got super used to having a stranger in her home but that’s not Saige’s fault. My kitty is just super shy and takes a while to warm up to strangers. I just asked that Saige respect her boundaries and space and I believe she did that! My kitty is almost 16 years old and I just really wanted that reassurance of having someone around more often than just bopping in for 15 mins a day - so I’m thankful for finding this service and the sitting going smoothly! Would book Saige again!”

“Erin was an exceptional dog sitter. We asked her to stay with our dogs throughout the day, leaving only at night, and she was consistently reliable and present every day. One of our dogs has significant anxiety, and it was clear she felt comfortable and at ease with Erin, which meant a great deal to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands while we were away.”


“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”

About: When I was younger, we had a black lab named Maggie who loved roaming the farm land. My friend would always message me if I could watch his Golden Retriever if he goes out of town, which I have always said yes because he is a good boy! When my brother and his wife had their first born child, I took in my brother's dog Lemon. She uses the doggy door to let herself into the backyard that has a 6 foot privacy fence. I work as an engineer. I can work from home 2 days a week and can come home on lunch breaks easily since I am 25 minutes away from my office. I have a doggie door for bathroom breaks or could leave the doors open. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced yard and a companion for your dog! Also, two water bowls and 2 puzzle dog food bowls. Any dogs that my brother's wife couldn't host for Rover due to schedule conflicts, I would be more than happy to host!
Hillcrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lulu is fantastic as both dog-sitter and house-sitter. She is an animal person to the core and has bonded with both of my cockers. She possesses a kind, respectful personality and I never fear with her in charge. Constantly updates with words and pictures. I couldn't be happier.

Reuben did absolutely everything we could ask and then some. Extremely professional and courteous, trustworthy - just a genuinely kind human being. Sent fun photos of the cats and dogs without our requiring them. As first time users on this site we had some hesitation about having a stranger stay in our home but I can say with confidence that I would invite Reuben back.
