“Taryn did a wonderful job staying with my dog Henry. She sent pictures and communicated with me often of which I like. She was very patient with him as he sometimes can bark a little too much. She was caring and left my home tidy which is important to me. I would not hesitate to have her come sit with Henry again.”

“Thank you for watching Clyde! Lulu was very patient with Clyde and his anxiety issues. Very prompt and on time and sends frequent updates which was much appreciated!”

About: I have cared for my friend’s dogs while they are away many times. I enjoy providing animals with enrichment and making sure they get ample exercise. I am careful around new dogs to let them show me what kind of care they prefer, and strive to make my time with them as enjoyable as possible for both of us. I currently work 9-5 Monday through Friday. I can provide morning and afternoon care visits as well as overnight care when needed. Morning visits would be early morning around 7am for breakfast and afternoon visits anywhere from 6-8pm for play time and dinner. Weekends I am available all day. I have lots of experience with sneaky animals who love eating things they are not supposed to eat or hiding in places they should not be. I am diligent with putting away foodstuffs and making sure doors/ screens are shut.
“Jennifer took care of our 2 dogs and home for a few days - she did a fantastic job! She communicates regularly with pictures and information which is super helpful and comforting while being away. We highly recommend Jennifer!”

“Maryn did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs. When we returned the dogs were happy and the house was clean and neat. She is very responsive when you contact her. Great job!”

“Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!”

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

“This is the third time we’ve had Pamela stay with our pups. I can’t say enough good things about her. Our fur babies are always cared for as if they belong to her, and she leaves our house in excellent condition!”

“Emma did me a great service and booked an overnight stay with my pup very last minute when my original sitter backed out. Emma took my pup on a drive and took great care of her. She also sent updates and pictures throughout the night while I was at work, which was greatly appreciated! Would book again!”

“Abby did a wonderful job watching our giant pup. She was a life saver for us as we needed someone the the same day to look after him. Grateful she was so willing to come on such a short notice. Will definitely use her in the future.”
“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Susannah stayed in our home with Phoebe and her dog Oliver. She left the house spotless and sent happy video of Phoebe every day with reassuring comments! I will definitely hire her again!”


“Lori is so great with our pets. They love her and she is very conscientious and thorough. We also appreciated the extra steps she took when in our home to give us peace of mind regarding COVID-19. Thank you Lori!”

“This is the second time Vanessa has watched my greyhound mix, and it was just as good as the first time. She's responsive and sends daily updates. I would recommend Vanessa to others.”

“Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.”

“Evan was attentive to the boys, giving them lots of pets and cuddles, and he followed my recommended schedule and instructions precisely! Great communication throughout and the pups would love to have Evan as a dogsitter again in the future! Thank you for being there for them while we were away.”

“We are so incredibly grateful for Whitney and everything that she’s done for us. Whitney brings a natural and consistent loving approach to her work. It was immediately clear that her care and supportive approach sets her apart from others. For this stay, Whitney cared for our two cats and one dog for a week. Due to the weather, we were delayed for 1 1/2 days coming home. Whitney was beyond understanding and did not hesitate to continue caring for our babies and home while we were away. We feel lucky and privileged to have met Whitney. I genuinely cannot wait until my babies have the opportunity to spend time with her again! Thank you again Whitney!!!”


About: I’ve spent 7+ years caring for pets of all kinds, taking the time to learn each one’s routine, quirks, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to help with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra care. I work a full-time job from 10–5 on weekdays, so I schedule pet care around my work hours. I’m available early mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, playtime, or visits. When I’m with pets, I give them my full attention and make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well-cared-for, even with my regular work schedule. I provide attentive, patient care whether I’m at your home or mine. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, playtime, walks, litter box care, and any special instructions—to keep them comfortable and stress-free. If pets are in my home, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and part of the family, giving plenty of attention, cuddles, and play. I always prioritize their happiness, health, and comfort.
Ivanhoe Southeast pet parents share their Rover experiences
I can’t say enough good things about Kennedy! While I was in Mexico, she took such incredible care of my dogs and gave me total peace of mind the entire time. She went above and beyond—not only making sure they were happy, cared for, and loved on, but also administering their medications and kept everything on track. When feeding schedules needed to change, she adapted without hesitation and handled it all seamlessly. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that kind of trust is priceless. I came home to calm, healthy, happy pups—which says everything. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter!

Taryn was a life saver when I needed someone on short notice. I had never met her or used her before, but I was so glad that I found her. She was great with the animals. The house looked wonderful when I came back and I know the pets were well taken care of. Will use her again for sure !! Thanks Taryn

Maryn was attentive, caring, and responsive during my trip. She took great care of my two cats, and made sure to send pictures and updates while I was out of the country. It made me so much more relaxed knowing they were in good hands! I would recommend her to anyone looking for quality care and peace of mind.

Kayma was incredibly attentive and clearly took great care of my cats. She handled insulin administration on time and consistently, which gave me a huge sense of ease while I was away. Her photos and check-ins were thoughtful and reassuring, and I always felt confident they were in good hands. I’d absolutely trust her to watch them again. She also kept my house incredibly tidy!

We've used Mirette twice now to house-sit/dog-sit our older Westie, and she did a great job! She was great at communicating with us and was at the house the vast majority of the time with our dog, which we loved! The house was clean when we got home and we had no issues! We would recommend Mirette, and would definitely use her again the next time we travel!

Kat did a great job with our potty training and teething puppy! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were at work all day. She did some of the training we're working on. She communicated any questions she had about our puppy and handling her mischief. She even put everything in our DogLog app for us! She's coming back later this week and we're so grateful!

Aaliyah did wonderful with my older pittie when needing someone to watch her last minute. She was reliably on time for visits and took her on plenty of walks. She came by before to meet her and get to know the house. She provided timely updates and responses. Will definitely use Aaliyah again!
