“Ann-Marie was awesome with my dog Charlie. She was very kind, personable and trustworthy. She stayed at my place while I was gone and held the fort down. Charlie loved the walks and attention she gave him. She sent me multiple pictures to let me know he was doing good. I highly recommend her service.”


2. Eric M.

“Needed a housitter for my dog Ollie on very short notice, being first time Rover users, was nervous about leaving my boy. Eric accepted the job on very short notice. Very grateful he could stay with my boy. Ollie was a happy healthy puppy when we returned home. Thank you Eric!”

“Rebecca provided a top-notch level of service, housesitting for senior black lab. She provided text updates and fun pix so we could follow how everything was going and see how much Smokey Bear loved being with her. Rebecca managed her time in our home and property very responsibly. We will definitely call her first for our next trip!”

“Natalie was great with all of our fur babies! She took care of our three dogs and two cats. They were all comfortable with her, including our very shy kitties. She stayed at our house for a week, and took care of everything, so we could enjoy our vacation. We will definitely book again!”

“Kathryn is amazing! She is kind, attentive and responsible. I trust her implicitly with my little fur-bean. I’m so happy to have connected with her. She takes the worry and stress out of traveling — I don’t have to worry about my pup or my house when Kathryn is there to take care of everything.”

7. Jaekob S.
“My husband and I have used Jaekob for several year to care for our rambunctious Yellow Lab in our home. Jaekob has been a great fit for us! Ollie loves him and jumps right into his lap to get cuddles. Jaekob is respectful of our home and is flexible with scheduling if our leaving/returning times have to be adjusted. We highly recommend him but hope he'll always be available for Ollie when we need him!”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs, and I have taken care of a wide variety of them over the years. I enjoy long walks and playing outside.

I am eager to follow any instructions I’m given to care for your dog in the best suited way for their own lifestyle and yours.

“Mike is a true gentle soul with a huge love for all of Earth’s creatures. Not only does he love all animals, but they love him back. He grew up with dogs, cats and critters, and he takes amazing care of his two cats, always with immense love, kindness, consistency and patience. He was wonderful taking care of his pet Ratties as well, always making sure they had when they needed and they were happy. I would trust him to take care of any animal or insect. He’s extremely reliable, and just an all around a wonderful, sensitive and compassionate person. I couldn’t think of someone more suitable for such a big responsibility as taking care of animals.”


19. Tanya F.

“Tanya went out of her way to come to our house to babysit our Labrador puppy. She was patient and kind and took time to talk about our expectations while we were away from our baby puppy. Taking care of a puppy requires patience and tolerance and love for animals. We could tell Tanya had all of these. She sent pics and communicated with us while we were away. I would recommend Tanya. And we would use her again.”
