“Desdrianneja was an amazing sitter, especially for taking such a last minute booking. Holiday travel plans changed and we ended up not having someone available. She took our booking at the absolute last minute and didn’t even bat an eye. She was punctual on check-ins with our cats, and went out of her way to keep an eye on our shyer cat who likes to hide. She helped clean up litter boxes and trash on her way on and overall was a perfect fit. Would book again.”
“I have never had such a good experience with a sitter in my life. I’ve had over five dogs and four cats in my lifetime and I’ve done you forwarded by the services actually provided for me and my fur children. Don’t think, just book Ashley!!!!!!!”
“Tatyana was the BEST! She was so communicative and flexible. My dog was so at ease with her and she sent me lots of pictures throughout our stay. 10/10 recommend!”
“Kayla is a wonderful pet sitter. My older poodle girl is hesitant to meet people, but from the moment Lyla saw Kayla it was instant acceptance. She knew she could trust her. Kayla communicated with us often. She was responsible and loving towards Lyla. I would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Kayla. We appreciate the support you gave to Lyla and us.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including a boxer, French bulldog, and English bulldog, and I currently share my home with a cat. Over the years I’ve cared for both dogs and cats of all sizes—sometimes up to three dogs or four cats at once. My experience includes puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with special needs. I’m comfortable with all aspects of daily care, from feeding and walks to playtime, grooming, and administering medication (including injections). I also have experience with crate training and leash manners, and I enjoy taking pets on long walks to keep them happy and active. My care style is calm and gentle, with a focus on building trust and making pets feel safe. As a responsible and organized grad student, I take pride in being reliable and treating every pet as if they were my own. I am currently a full time graduate student and only have classes in the evening so my schedule is very flexible! The rest of my time is spent studying, which I am able to do from anywhere. I have experience with rescues, senior animals, and animals with special needs. Whatever your pet's typical routine entails, I will make sure to stick to it! I know it can be distressing for pets to not have their parents home so my goal is to make sure they feel safe and comfortable until you come back!
“Journey did an incredible job house sitting for us, sending us tons of updates and pictures. She is diligent and took great care of our dog and our cat. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Emilee was wonderful with our two dogs! They were so happy and comfortable with her. I am so grateful she took such great care of them and I know we will be looking forward to when she can return to sit for us.”
“Lizzy is absolutely great! An absolute sweetheart! Forest was so happy when we got home and did not seem to have acted out in any way, (tore anything up). She was in touch with us the entire time, and her updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. I'm so happy we found her, and look forward to using her again and again. The peace of mind we feel when we are away from our babies, knowing that they are being cared for by Lizzy, is priceless.”
“Marissa is always so reliable, dependable, and lovely. We didn’t lose a second of sleep over our golden retriever or our home knowing she was watching over them. We are so grateful!”
“Shelby was very responsive to my texts and instructions. The dogs and cat were very content in the pictures she sent and they warmed up to her quickly as they slept on the bed with her that night. She was very respectful of our place and it was as clean as we left it. I would definitely call Shelby again to care for our animals in our house.”
“Antastasia was a perfect fit for my senior pup! She went above and beyond by coming to our hotel to care for Daisy while I was in surgery. She took her for walks, sent us photos, and kept in touch throughout the day. I highly recommend Anastasia if you need a sitter.”
“Just awesome. So attentive and communicative for nervous dog parents who were travelling abroad while their pup was recovering from a pneumonia. Cant recommend enough!!!”
“Sandi did such a great job cat sitting with my cat while I was away. She sent photos and played with my cat and was very reliable. She also left the place very clean and was very responsive to my many texts! Thank you Sandi!”
“Lidia was great with both of my dogs! She communicated with me at all times and sent me videos and pictures of my dogs, also they came back hope very happy and stress free”
“We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Sama! My husband and I loved working with her, and from the very beginning we felt completely confident in the care she provided for our dogs. She sent us daily updates with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also came and visited twice beforehand to get to know our pups, our home, and us. It was great. Our dogs were clearly well taken care of and spoiled with all the love and attention they received, which we love! We’re pretty sure they got more (and longer!) walks with her than they normally do when we’re home. It’s such a comfort to know they were happy, safe, and having fun. We couldn’t be more grateful for her excellent care and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jackie is absolutely phenomenal—I cannot recommend her highly enough! My dog lovvvveedddd her and her dog, Coco (which is saying a lot, because my dog usually doesn’t like other dogs). Jackie is incredibly organized and accommodating. I felt completely at ease leaving Roo in her care while we traveled abroad, even with Roo’s medical needs. She sent us daily pictures and was always communicative. We loved her and will 100% be reaching out again in the future!”
“Bailey took great care of my dog! She sent lots of pictures, was great at communicating with me the whole time she was watching her and also kept me updated on how she was doing especially since my dog just got out of the emergency vet right before I left for my vacation. I would definitely have Bailey watch my dog again and highly recommend her!”

Kalina did such a wonderful job taking care of our two Pomeranians and our home. Can’t recommended her enough! She was great with her communication and really easy to work with. Went above and beyond with how she took care of the house. Clearly a big dog/animal person and is very thoughtful and detailed with her care.
I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional. She took the time to understand my dogs’ routine and personality, sent regular updates, and made sure my pups felt comfortable and loved. It was clear my dogs were genuinely happy and well cared for. I would absolutely be book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate.
Erika is the best. We reached out because of her experience with senior dogs and we felt nervous about leaving our older pup. She stopped by before our trip and was so willing to do whatever it took to make sure our senior dog was comfortable. Sadly, our senior pup passed away before our trip, yet Erika stayed flexible and still cared for our other dog and cat. She gave our energetic husky plenty of long walks and was a respectful house guest. Highly recommend!!
Annie was incredible and I look forward to booking her again in the future. She watched my dog at my house while I was out of town for a couple weeks and she followed his routine perfectly.I appreciated her taking the time to meet him in advance. This was the first time I had left my dog and I was incredibly nervous but after meeting her and noticing how detail oriented she was to his needs and routine, I knew I was leaving him in good hands. I came back home to a happy dog and peace of mind.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Desdrianneja did an amazing job watching my boy, Onyx, in my home. She was very reliable and kept me updated with consistent photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent from start to finish. Onyx clearly loved her — she gave him so much attention and cuddles and treated him like her own. It was obvious he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She also took great care of my home and left everything clean before I returned, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone on Rover and will definitely be booking with her again!
Victoria did an amazing job! We have six animals and have not taken a trip due to this in years. We decided to go on a two week trip, and the animals were our biggest concern. From the moment I met Victoria, I was immediately put at ease about leaving our fur babies in her hands. Any expectations I thought I had were far exceeded. Victoria sent us pictures, and updates all throughout our time away. We returned home to a sparkling clean house! The bedding was washed, and beds made. This made all the difference after being away. It was obvious that ALL of the animals were cared for with love and attention from their behavior after we came home. I cannot say enough good things about Victoria I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a true pet sitter, one who is highly dependable, professional, and most importantly, cares for your pets as if they were her own!
Keely and her husband provided house/pet sitting at my home during the Christmas holiday. They arrived as promised and took care of Abby & Sophie in every respect. I received daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to recommend and would be delighted and relieved to have them back in the future.
