“Danielle was prompt and communicative and understanding when we had to come home early. I will ask her first every. single. time I need someone. Courteous and professional.”
“We are very comfortable with Tessa. She took care of our elderly dog including two daily medications. We got updates and pictures and our dog was in good spirits when we returned. We have already booked our next appointment with her, so we're very happy with the care our dog received.”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“Mary was responsive, punctual, and took good care of our Bella and house. She sent us updates and pictures and Bella was happy and content upon our arrival. We will definitely consider booking Mary again if the need arises. Thank you, Mary, for fitting us in during this busy holiday season!”
“James did an awesome job with our Pisgah! James gave our pup so much exercise and attention that she was the happiest and most tranquil I’ve ever seen her after we’ve left her with a sitter. Highly recommend, will book again!”
“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“Hannah is the best House Sitter/dog sitter that we’ve had in a very long time! The dogs took to her right away. She gave us regular updates with pictures, which was fun, but she also left the house in a wonderful clean state, including some welcome home things! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Hannah is a professional.”
“Mackenzie is super helpful and responsible for our puppy while we were away for a music festival. In addition to being a great caretaker of our dog, she is easy to communicate with and did a good job providing updates about our puppy. It is our first time using Rover and we are glad it worked out. So thank you so much Mackenzie and we would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs good care for their dogs.”
“Lilian was wonderful for my last minute house sitting request! She was quick to respond, sent lots of updates, and so responsible. My dog Pearl was in great hands! I would certainly book again.”

“My pup loves Maggie! She walks him multiple times a week, sometimes even taking him on excursions to various walk paths around the city. I trust her to pick him up while I'm away at work and have never had any issues. She is very knowledgeable in dog behavior and is a great guide for my 10 month old puppy. She always sends me cute photo and video updates and returns him happy and sleepy—the best combo! <3”
