“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Great sitter and very flexible to work with which was the perfect fit for my sensitive, anxious dog. Madilyn was excellent at building a friendship with Minnie, but not overwhelming her. Will be continuing to book with her!”
“Nate was great! This is my first time using Rover or having anyone watch my dog. At first I was a little concerned about having somebody stay in my house but with Nate I had no concerns or stresses. He was very kind to Redford and very professional. He did everything exactly how he said he would. He would send me daily updates with pictures of Redford. Redford is not the most easy dog to be around but Nate was very patient and kind to him and so Redford settled right in with him just as he would with me. I definitely will be using Nate in the future and said highly suggest you do the same ???”
“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”
“Jylesha is Fantastic with my animals! She loves them, walks my dog, keeps my place so nice and is very responsive communicating and sending pics and vids. My animals love her! Ty Jylesha! ❤️”
“Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.”
“Courtney was the most thoughtful and thorough caregiver I’ve ever had. She watched over 2 dogs and 2 cats and was communicative about how each one was doing. She even noted that one of the dogs wasn’t feeling well and helped create a plan to make him feel better. This is the most stress free I’ve been when leaving my animals for a long vacation. I could not recommend her more.”
“Isabella did a fantastic job!! there was disappointment in my dogs’s faces when they saw me walk through the door instead of her. I gave her five stars because I was not able to give her six! I would definitely use her again. Thank you Isabella for everything!”
About: I have experience with both dogs and cats! I am super flexible this summer! I am looking forward to meeting some new fur-friends! Please book me at least 2 days in advance! I am very flexible this summer besides a two week trip at the beginning of July! I am not working since I’m attending graduate school in the fall so I’ll be super available to hang out with your fur babies! I don’t offer house sitting at my house but I can stay over at yours! I will treat your space with respect and follow any instructions you have left to ensure the upkeep and cleanliness of your space!
“This is the second time Britney has house sit for us and both have been great experiences. Both my dogs are very happy to have her company when we are away and the house is always spotless when we get back.”
“Comfort was a great babysitter. She made sure to always check in when she was taking my dog on walk and how he was doing. Absolutely would book her again to take care of my dog while I’m away!”
“My puppy & cat had a great time hanging out with Emma for the night! I was nervous leaving my puppy for the first time but Emma sent me updates and photos to help calm my nerves!”
“This is my second time booking with Jordan. He totally saved the day this weekend when he accepted a last minute request to watch my (somewhat high maintenance) dog Billie overnight when my other sitter fell through. Did an amazing job and was super flexible despite some chaos on my part, haha. He often goes above and beyond when he is not busy with other clients. Thank you again!”
“This was my first time having Dawn watch my energetic corgi, Cornbread. Dawn did absolutely amazing with her! Cornbread just loves to play and Dawn gave her plenty of attention while I was away and sent plenty of pictures and videos. She kept me updated each day on Cornbread’s health, that she was fine with eating/staying hydrated, and behaving well. She also brought her dog over so Cornbread would have a friend to play with. Lastly she went above and beyond and left a custom sticker of Cornbread from her visit! Would absolutely love to book again with Dawn!”
“Olivia took such good care of my boys while I was away and sent updates with pictures on every visit!! My two cats had so much fun with her, definitely put my mind at ease while I was gone knowing they were in such good hands!”
“Alex was great! We received tons of pictures and videos of Roxy while we were gone which was comforting as this was our first time using Rover. The house was the same as when we left it when we arrived home. Alex even went above and beyond by washing the sheets and towels she used while she was here before we returned home. There isn’t enough to say about how great this experience was! Thank you Alex! Roxy cannot wait to see you again soon :)”
“Lauryn was amazing! She got to our zekey on time sometimes early! Our zekey loved Lauryn and her belly rubs. She did amazing job feeding our zeke and following his food instructions. We did run out of dry food and she even offered to go buy us some ❤️ we will definitely be booking with Lauryn in the future”

Olivia took amazing care of my two cats. I booked with her twice and she was extremely flexible and saved me in watching my cats last minute. My cats absolutely love her. Both of my cats need medicine and she did a great job giving Mr. White his inhaler and Romeo his pill each day. Highly recommend Olivia and will be using her in the future.
Hannah did an amazing job pet sitting our 14-week-old Whippet! From the moment she walked through the door, it was obvious he was going to have fun with her, he liked her right away. Even with all the energy, puppy antics, and biting that come with a young Whippet, she jumped right in and quickly adapted to his needs. We felt completely confident that he was well cared for, exercised, and given lots of attention. It was clear she genuinely enjoys working with dogs, and our puppy had a great time with her. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy and would not hesitate to book Hannah again!
First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.
Elias is AMAZING!!! We have a feral/extremely fearful dog who makes it near impossible to travel because people frighten him so much. Elias followed our instructions for introductions, came to meet him multiple times prior to our leave, and took his time. Elias was so good with him, that he even came up for pets and snuggles, something that doesn't ever happen! We are so grateful to have peace of mind that my dogs will be ok because Elias is there. I highly recommend him!
Jordan was more than outstanding. It was the first time in a long time I was able to go on vacation without worrying. Complete transparency on a couple days he knew he’d be out for more than 4 hours, worked with me on a complicated schedule and most of all - PROMPT communication and tons of pics & videos. He went above and BEYOND for my puppy and I was really thankful and impressed by that alone. I would recommend him to anyone and I’m so so grateful I met and was able to trust someone to stay in my home while I was in another country. Thank you Jordan! The animals were clearly so well taken care of and more.
Highly recommend Helena! We have three cats, two of whom require medication for chronic illnesses, and Helena knows exactly how to get them to take their meds. She also gets my female cat to eat all her food, despite the fact that her appetite is waning due to kidney disease. We never worry about leaving our babies in Helena’s care — she’s a pro!
Kira is fantastic. She is super responsive & I trust her with my two big doodles! Kira watched my dogs for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at my house. She is responsible and trustworthy! Kira communicated her schedule for the weekend ahead of time and gave me a heads up so I’m aware of when she is at the house / needs to step out for other drop ins, which is so appreciated! She checked in everyday and gave me a summary of their day & provided photos. I didn’t think twice about the boys while on vacation, because I knew they were in good hands! Thank you so much!
Caroline took excellent care of our dogs and our home. At our meet and greet she was attentive and detailed. During the sit she communicated daily, followed care instructions, and treated our pups like her own. Home was left tidy and doggos very happy. We happily recommend Caroline and would book with her again.
Alison was great! She was so communicative with us. This was our first time leaving our baby with someone else and from the start she just had qualities that made me feel better about doing so. She asked all good questions, was super timely, and overall I was left without any concerns! Thank you Alison for taking such good care of our girl! Our pup is very young right now and can be quite a handful, but Alison seemed to have handled her very well. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
