“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”
“Leesa was amazing. She was so attentive to our 5 furbabies while we attended a wedding. She sent video and pictures which kept us content while being away from them for so long. She is awesome!”
“Brandon was great with our mini dachshund. He sat with her for the evening while we went out. He got her to eat, which isn’t easy. We came home to a happy pup!! We already rebooked him.”
“Mia is wonderful! She took such good care of our new puppy who can be a handful at times. She sent updates and pictures and we actually stayed to chat afterwards and she is a lovely young woman. Will hire her again and again. Highly recommend!”
“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”
“I have never left on vacation without feeling complete angst about leaving my dogs behind. They usually spend the entire week hiding under the bed when we hire house sitters. But with Monroe, they seemed to not even realize I was gone! When I returned it was just like I came home from work that day - they were relaxed and happy to see me then went on about their day. I can't say enough good things.”
“Katharine went ABOVE and BEYOND boarding our 3 dogs in our home for 5 days. She sent us daily photo updates with confirmation of their medications being given, brought in our packages and bins, and kept our home incredibly clean despite our messy dogs. We couldn't be happier with her services and would highly recommend her to anyone considering having a sitter stay in their home and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”
“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”
“Lisa was awesome! Very calm and experienced. She kept us informed of our pups throughout her stay and was neat and tidy. We booked her last minute but she worked with us to still meet the doggos ahead of time ensuring we were all comfortable.”
“Ella took amazing care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She sent us several pictures and short updates about the games our dogs played each day. She followed all our instructions, and we could see how happy our girls were with her. She stayed in our home the entire time, and when we returned, the house was spotless. She even left a thoughtful handwritten note on the kitchen counter summarizing how our pets behaved, what they did, and a few details about her stay and our home. We highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting, and we will definitely contact her again the next time we’re out of town. Thanks again, Ella!”
“Christina was EXCELLENT! She made us feel comfortable at the meet and greet. She took good care of our 2 furbabies for 2 nights in our home. Christina shared info with us while we were away and also sent pictures. We would highly recommend her and will be booking her again!”
About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I also have experience giving medication. I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.
“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”
“My girls are very anxious and nervous around new people. With Katie, they were relaxed and excited to see her when she was taking care of them. I’ll definitely be asking for Katie’s help in the future for both puppy sitting and if I need help with someone just stopping in during the day.”
“So thankful for Taylor! She was incredibly sweet, dependable, and always easy to communicate with. I reached out to her super last minute and she delivered! We will definitely be keeping her in mind for the future 😊”
“I cannot say enough good things about Claire. This was our first time using rover, and she exceeded our expectations. We scheduled her for a dog walk a few days prior to the house sitting booking so that she could meet us, meet our dogs, and see where she would be staying. I knew immediately when she met our dogs that she was the perfect fit. She left our home in pristine condition, and our dogs were clearly well cared for and happy when we got home. She reached out to us without hesitation when she was concerned about our older dog's breathing (she's just a loud snorer haha) and wasn't afraid to ask questions when she wasn't sure about something. I was nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn't know very well, but she sent pictures and videos without me asking, which put my mind at ease when I saw how happy they were with her. I will DEFINITELY be hiring Claire again to care for our two girls :) thanks so much!!”

We came home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog - which is the dream! He kept us updated with photos and messages, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands.
