“Helene has taken great care of our two high energy dogs during both house sittings we’ve had with her. She is very responsive, helpful, and caring. We are so thankful to have her as a dog sitter!”

“Holland did a fantastic job caring for our new puppy. She communicated with me before, during, and after the visit. I arrived home to a very happy dog who no longer bites at my fingers! Thank you Holland. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first Rover experience and our sitter did not disappoint. Xena was wonderful with our husky. She was punctual and communicative throughout the evening. We look forward to having her return for our next event.”

“Monica is an amazing pet sitter. The dog was happy. The house was clean. She followed all the instructions provided. She was extremely communicative and sent tons of adorable pictures of our dog playing and snuggling. Our dog isn't the easiest and takes a while to warm up to new people. Monica did a great job gaining her trust and making sure they had a good week while we were away. I would highly recommend her and look forward to booking with her again.”

“Shamiso watched our somewhat anxious pandemic pup for 4 days at the last minute. She was fantastic. Before the booking, she was communicative. During our pre/booking chat, she asked thoughtful questions. And she took great care of our pup while we were gone. I loved her updates of what they were up to, and she left the house as clean as (or probably cleaner) than we left it. Thank you Shamiso!”

“Omar was a house sitter for our dog and cat on relatively short notice due to a sudden death of a close relative. Omar was flexible and communicated very well with us. We greatly appreciated the morning and evening pictures of both pets. Highly recommended and we will be a repeat customer.”


“Jason did a great job housesitting for us and watching our dog. He reached out a ton with pictures and updates so we knew our dog was doing well. Our flight was delayed and he was flexible adding on extra time so we knew that if we ended up delayed again, our dog would be safe. Thanks Jason!”

“Meri was very professional and accommodating! My dog Rufus was super excited to spend time with her and Rufus was a happy little guy when I returned from vacation. We highly recommend Meri!”

“Ixchel stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog, Rue. Rue can be shy and anxious around new people, and Ixchel knew exactly how to approach her. She provided regular updates and we felt relieved knowing Rue was in good hands. Would recommend her services!”

“Julie was wonderful watching our dog Zoey for 10 days! I was worried about being gone that long, but she was super responsive the whole time and sent lots of pictures and updates. She was great at playing with Zoey and giving her lots of good walks. She kept our apartment spotless and was a perfect houseguest. I would highly recommend her for any and all dog walking and wouldn't hesitate to use her again!”

“Bridget was fantastic! Prompt responses and arrival, very reliable with pix and it was clear our dog just loved her! Would be delighted to have her in our home again.”

“Aliyah went above and beyond in taking care of my cats. My youngest fur baby instantly warmed up to her, which is quite rare! Aliyah sent me lots of photos while I was away, easing my separation anxiety. Being away from my cats is never easy, but knowing they were in such great care with Aliyah made it so much better.”

About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.

Bridget was on time, communicated clearly, conscientiously followed our instructions, and even did things we didn't ask for (like bringing in the trash can and packages). She also checked in with us to make sure our flights were not delayed before she left for the final time. We'd use her again in a heartbeat.

We highly recommend Jessica, she is the best sitter we’ve ever had! She consistently went above and beyond during the week she stayed with our dog, Beckham. She is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator. We have a high energy dog who does best sticking to his routines and takes a little while to warm up to new sitters. She told us beforehand that she will always do what is best for the dog and they bonded instantly! We look forward to having Jessica back soon!

Camille is great! She communicates regularly, sends the cutest pictures, spent a lot of time playing with our doggy and (shy) kitty, and took great care of our house while we were away. It’s the best knowing our pets are in such capable hands. Thank you, Camille!

Lena did an awesome job. She was able to stay in our house with our dog for two nights on short notice and she left the place exactly how she found it (if not cleaner). She probably took better care of our dog than we do with much more frequent walks. We’d definitely use her again!
