We were looking for someone to house sit for while we were overseas for a few weeks. From the moment we met Oli we knew our pets and home would be in good hands while we were away. Before our trip Oli took the time out to meet our pets and was happy to have all the detailed info about how to take care of them. Last minute our dog needed almost daily meds given while we were away and Oli didn’t hesitate to step up. She sent us multiple pictures and updates throughout the day which is as such a relief! When we came back our house was even cleaner than before and our pets barely greeted us. Which means they had an amazing time with Oli! Thank you so much Oli for your help and if you’re looking a reliable, communicative sitter, she’s your girl!

Marlowe watched my 3 year old boxer/pitbull mix and my 12 week old pitbull/lab mix while I went out of town for 4 nights and 5 days. My dogs were well taken care of and loved on the entire time I was gone and I never had any doubts or fears while they were under her care. She is extremely attentive to my dogs's needs and mine as well while I was away- and sent me picture updates on the girls and how their day was going. Not only is she respectful of my dogs and their needs, she is also respectful of my house. She spent the night with my dogs while I was away and left it in the same condition as when she got there. I can't say enough good things and will definitely be using Marlowe the next time I go out of town. I know my babies had a blast while she was here!!

Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.

First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.

About: I have experience caring for dogs through both long-term and everyday responsibilities, including helping raise my aunt’s dog from puppyhood and regularly caring for my boyfriend’s dog. My responsibilities have included walking, feeding, playtime, maintaining routines, and providing companionship to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care and attention I give to each pet individually. I understand that being away from their owner can be stressful for some animals, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring, and positive environment where they feel secure and loved. My experience caring for puppies has also taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of paying close attention to behavior, routines, and energy levels. I treat every pet with the same care, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own animals. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already spend a lot of time caring for my own cats. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. I even take my cat on walks, so I’m very attentive to both physical activity and emotional enrichment. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so being patient, observant, and consistent with their routines comes very naturally to me. II believe pets communicate their needs through their behavior and body language, so I always pay close attention to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I respect each pet’s boundaries while also giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. In both my home and a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, maintaining their routine, and making sure they don’t feel lonely or stressed while their owner is away.

About: My name is Nick and I am a teacher in Chesterfield county looking to use my love for animals as a way to make some extra money over the summer. I have had dogs and cats growing up my whole life and currently have a dog named Bagel and a cat named Friday. I also have lots of experience dog/cat sitting for friends and family over the years ever since I was in high-school. I am a teacher so I won’t be working during the summers so I will have unlimited time during the day/night to take care of your pets and their needs! Once the school year starts I can do weekends and afternoon/nights! I have a lot of energy myself so if your pets love to get exercise/play around I am very up for that. I also try to be very thorough with the pet care instructions and will ask questions/for clarification to ensure I am giving your pet the best care as possible.

Nia is wonderful! My pups are anxious around new people and they warmed up to her so quickly. She was excellent with communication — from sending updates about how their days were going to asking questions if anything out of the ordinary came up. After a long trip, I came home to two very happy dogs and a pristine apartment. I'm incredibly grateful for Nia and highly recommend her if you're looking for a compassionate, trustworthy petsitter!

For our 15-year-old Yorkie with limited hearing and vision, McKenzie was a caring and responsible day-long companion. She took our dog out frequently, gave her meds when needed, and even washed the food bowl! We can confidently recommend McKenzie as a knowledgeable and conscientious dog-sitter.

Jordan was amazing! This was our first time using Rover and we were a little nervous but our fears were unfounded! Jordan stayed in contact through the whole stay and our pups were very comfortable with her. She did an amazing job with both our 4 month old puppy who can be a bit of a terror and our 8 year old beagle. Will definitely be using her in the future!

Catherine was truly an angel, and I honestly don’t think we could have asked for a better sitter! She stayed with our two dogs for about a week while we were out of town, and during that time our air conditioning unexpectedly went out for two days. Instead of leaving or making it our problem, she handled everything with so much patience and grace, communicated with us throughout, and stayed with the dogs the entire time to make sure they were comfortable and cared for. She even coordinated with our landlord, who later told us she was the best house sitter/Rover he’d ever met - which says a lot! When we got home, our dogs were so happy, relaxed, and completely themselves. There was zero stress or adjustment period, and honestly, I don’t even think they missed us with Catherine around! 😂 She went so far above and beyond what anyone could reasonably expect, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves the animals she cares for. We would trust her with our home and our pups again in a heartbeat. If you’re considering booking Catherine, do it - you (and your pets) will be incredibly lucky to have her! 🙏🏼

Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.

We have three large dogs… The smallest is 110lbs and the largest 160. We booked Kiara for a 4-day/overnight house-sit booking. Kiara came by for a meet and greet and stayed in close contact with us right up to the time we were leaving. She even sent a message that she was on the way and arrived 30 minutes early. Kiara was great with the pups and loved her. We received daily photos and update while we we away. My wife and I both feel that she went way above and beyond our expectations. Kiara will be our first call when ever we need someone to take care of our pups. If you need a great pet companion and house sitter - she should be your first call too!

We are writing to formally commend Nina for her outstanding care and professionalism she provided for looking after our home and furry family members during our recent vacation. Throughout the duration of our absence, Nina demonstrated exceptional responsibility, compassion, and attention to detail. She kept us updated daily, including adorable photos that reassured us that our fury family members were happy and well-cared for. Not only were our pets given the best of care, our house was in pristine condition when we got home. Nina is a kind and gentle soul and it shows in her love for animals. We wholeheartedly endorse Nina for any house sitting and pet care. We have already recommended her to our neighbor.

Margot was absolutely amazing. We got constant updates and photos which we so appreciated. When we got home the house was just as we left it and so clean. She left the guest room so clean which we didn’t except given we’ve had other pet sitters who have left the house very dirty. When we met her we fell in love and will definitely be rebooking if she’ll allow us!! 10000/10 🤍🤍🤍
