“Joel is an excellent dog/house sitter. He has bonded well with Loki, (our big German Shepherd/Husky cross) and is very patient, and very calm around him, which in turn keeps Loki calm! Joel is accommodating, responsive, flexible, professional and respectful. Joel is also very respectful of our home. We have already booked Joel a few times in coming months. We highly recommend Joel to look after your best furry canine friend, and your home while you are away!”


“Melinda is so amazing, she took such good care of our dog and our house. She was constantly communicating and sending us pictures where our dog looked so happy and comfortable and really allowed us to enjoy our trip. Our house has never looked better and we are so grateful to have found Melinda. Could not recommend her more! She is amazing.”


“Lizzy is a great pet sitter! She came to meet us before we went away and was super great with our cats, dog, and smaller pets. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was super on top of things while house sitting for us. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”


“Danni went above and beyond in taking care of my puppy during our first weekend trip away. I truly was able to relax knowing she was in good hands, as Danni is both experienced with dogs and very nurturing. I also really appreciated how she agreed to sit on such short notice, even July 4th nonetheless. She even generously cleaned up a few things at my home. I definitely recommend Danni and will continue to stay in touch!”


“Olivia was so wonderful with our three girls. We have some special needs with some of them, and she was attentive, communicative and followed up. We also loved getting the pictures of them while we were away. I will be sure to book her again! Thank you, Olivia, for taking great care of our babies!”

“I came home to a very happy obviously well taken care of dog. I could just tell from my dog's demeanor that she had plenty of attention and love over the weekend that we were away.

About: From puppy zoomies to senior snuggles, I’ve seen (and loved) it all. I’ve raised dogs of my own and been the go-to sitter for family and friends for years. Reliable, active, patient, and always ready for belly rubs or a good game of fetch. Based in a pet-loving neighborhood full of trails and parks—tail wags are guaranteed. 🐾 Like so many others, I was recently laid off—and around the same time, I lost the coolest dog anyone could ask for. With more time on my hands and a lot of love still to give, I decided to lean into what I’ve always been great at: caring for animals. I’ve always been the go-to sitter for friends and family, and now I’m offering that same love and reliability to others. My daughter is my little sidekick and loves helping out with walks, belly rubs, and all things furry. For both of us, pet care isn’t just a task—it’s a bright spot in our day and something we truly enjoy. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their usual routines as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, medication (if needed), and of course, plenty of playtime and cuddles. In your home, I respect your space and your pet’s comfort zones, making sure they feel secure while you're away. If they're with me, they get a cozy, pet-friendly environment, lots of attention, and access to nearby parks and trails for daily adventures. Every pet is treated like family—because that’s what they are.

“Lai was amazing! My dog had so much fun with her and her kids. She texted me pictures and updates frequently and felt really good about leaving my dog in her care. Thank you so much!!!”


“Lance was the best! He took extra special care of my dog and was attentive to all her needs. Her gave regular updates on their activities and it made my time away totally stress free. I will definitely call on him again.”


“Ollie did a fantastic job with my stubborn pets, especially my senior dog. Anyone with a senior pet knows how much care they come to require. Super appreciative of how much time Ollie was able to be home with all 3 of my girls.”


“Fantastic experience with Darlina. She was prompt, attentive, and clarified everything. Our zoo loved and she kept us updated on their activities. 10/10, we'll definitely request her again.”


About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all ages; 7 months to 15 years old. I take joy in giving your pup or kitty my time and making them feel as comfortable as they can in my home or your home. If that means playing with them all throughout the day, cuddling on the couch, going on walks, or giving more time and attention then I am happy as long as the pets are satisfied. I want the animals that I watch to feel safe and happy, as if their owners were home. I am open to pet sitting in your home if that works better but my preference is to bring them to my home. When staying at a clients house I like to get familiar with the yard and space so I know of any places your pet may hide away or rest. Some times our pets like to nap in places that we would not suspect and I want to make sure I can keep track of your pet at all times while in my care. I am flexible with hours during the week and weekends. At this time, I am available almost all hours. Please contact me 3 days prior so I can meet your loving pet. My yard is fenced in with a gate. I will manage daily potty breaks and walks regardless of the temperatures. Play time as needed will be provided.

“She is great! My dog was wonderful and happy when I got home. She was very clean and my dog was well taken care of, she sent me pictures of my dog every day I was gone. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”

I work part time so I have a fairly flexible schedule! Tuesdays and Saturdays are the only shifts I’m at work all day however I am typically free after 5pm on Saturdays. Allowing someone into your home to take care of your pets is an ultimate form of trust I never take for granted. I value how you would like me to care for them!

Hi! I’m Xaiviea, I’m 29, and animals have been the biggest part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve cared for just about everything—puppies, kittens, parrots, reptiles, ferrets, chinchillas, barn animals—you name it! I spent a couple years as a professional dog trainer at Petco, regularly volunteer at local shelters, and have been an emergency placement foster many times. I’ve even dabbled in reptile husbandry and helped get my own mom into reptiles—she now has five, and I help her care for them! Right now I live with family to help out my elderly parents, and I share my life with four lovable Frenchies and my sphynx cat, Chicken. (Yes, his name is Chicken. Yes, he lives up to it. 😂) My long-term dream is to open two animal rescues—one just for French Bulldogs and one for all animals—with tons of space for everything from horses to hedgehogs. I also hope to go back to school for biology and zoology, and I’m using Rover to help save for that goal. I treat every pet like my own—furry kids with unique needs, personalities, and big emotions. You can trust me to keep them safe, loved, and totally spoiled. 💖 Thanks for reading—I can’t wait to meet your babies! My schedule is completely open and i promise I will make caring for your pets my first priority. I can stay as long as you'd like or I can pop in as many times as you'd like. Whatever you want I'll make happen! I'm an animal freak and provide the best care possible. My dogs are all on individual diets and have there supplements and all! I don't play when it comes to pet care! I take pride in how I care for my pets and your pets will get the exact same treatment.
