“Shannon took exceptional care of our dog and cat and home for a week while we were away. She was communicative and sent pictures during the week. Our pets were very happy and healthy upon our return. We will be happy to book her in the future!!”


“I've had the pleasure of booking Carley twice now, and both times have been fantastic! She is reliable, attentive, and clearly loves animals.”


“Simply put….Exceptional! I cannot give Kathryn enough praise. Our pets are our family and she took that to heart. She kept us updated the minute she walked in the door with pictures and texts. She rarely left their side and any concerns she had she contacted us ASAP! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation and my pets loved her as much as we did!”


“Casey was amazing with our dog Reese. We just moved into a new house and have never had a dog sitter before, and we could not have found a better person to watch and care for our pup. She sent pictures and communicated with us throughout the day. It can be a bit nerve wracking finding someone and trusting them to watch over your pet, but once we met Casey we knew we, and Reese, were in great hands. We hope to have Casey watch Reese again in the future, and are so happy that Reese has a new friend. Thank you Casey!”


“Emma was awesome! We had to book a house sitter at the last minute and she was fast to respond to our request. Additionally, she took great care of both of our dogs and house. She is super friendly, great with dogs, and very easy to work with. We will definitely be using her in the future!”


“Kind, responsible, and trustworthy! Katsu loved Jeff, and it was a very good first experience for me with the platform. Thank you! 🙏🏼”


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid. From my own to neighbors and friends. I love playing and taking good care of animals and have always felt a special connection to pets! I’m currently very available and very flexible! Bouncing between jobs therefore I have plenty of time to dog/cat sit and house stay! Let me know what times YOU need and I’ll fit into your schedule:) In my own home I have had three cats. All of which lived very happy lives, with lots of play time, food and love. I have dog sat multiple times and have spent my time being present with the dogs, taking long walks and playing with them at home or at dog parks!


“Kim did a great job taking care of my dog, cat, and house while I was away. She was responsible, attentive, and clearly cared for my pets as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for animals. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet and house sitter!”


“Paris took care of Paloma for four nights while Paloma entered her first heat - Paris is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and knew how to handle everything and gave us tips as well. We’re very thankful and absolutely recommend her to others! I know Paloma is already missing her!”


“Thank you so much. We always feel safe leaving our animals and home in your care. Definitely recommend you to friends and family.”


“Carolyn is amazing! She's super friendly and kind and our dog, Roxy, loved her immediately! Carolyn took Roxy on walks and hikes and took awesome care of her while we were away. She even went above and beyond and also took care of our daughter's leopard gecko during our time away. We will definitely book Carolyn again and 100% recommend her!”


About: In my family, a dog was an absolute necessity! That being said I have 18+ years of pet care under my belt. So with me, you can rest assured that your furry friend will be on their own vacation while you’re on vacation! At the moment in an incoming sophomore in college with way too much time on her hands this summer! I figured the best thing I could do was make myself available for families who need some extra help or time for themselves and take care of their dogs for them! I have my own dog aswell! His name is Tank, he’s a Newfoundland who is obsessed with laying around and making friends with anything that breathes, in order to take care of him properly, I have to take him to vet appointments, take him out to use the bathroom routinely, buy food that caters to his special diet and give him as much attention as I can! With your dog, you can expect nothing less!

“Korin is awesome! Was very quick to respond to my booking request and she’s very friendly. My pups loved her, and so did the cat. I got updates and photos throughout the sitting and she was flexible when my plans ran a little late. Thanks for such an awesome experience!”


About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals, at one point having three dogs and five cats. I am active for the animals who need it and patient for the ones who are more relaxed, and would love to take care of your pet! Currently, I am not working and have a ton of time on my hands to pet sit. I am free most mornings, afternoons, and nights. Have I two cats at home, so I can care for another cat separated into my room, or possibly keep a super friendly dog that does well with cats. I am always available to care of any type of pet in the comfort of someone else’s house.

“Sarah was a wonderful house-sitter for our dog. She replied immediately to our booking request, was on time to our meet and greet, and responded promptly to my messages while we were away. When we returned home, our house was in perfect condition and our dog was relaxed and happy. Would absolutely have her pet sit again in the future.”

“Julia was a great sitter! She kept in constant contact with me during her stay, was great with my dogs and was also a great house sitter. I would absolutely recommend her and hope to use her in the future as a sitter!”


About: I have 2 dogs myself and know how important it is to give my undivided attention to them. Pets are family and should be treated as so. I currently work full time, but can definitely accommodate and be flexible. I’m available Monday thru Friday after 4pm and weekends all day and night. I have a fenced yard so your animals will be safe. I will never leave them unsupervised. I have one cat as well, but he’s friendly and isn’t bothersome.

“Fantastic pet sitter! Vincent took amazing care of my dog providing updates and lots of walks and affection. Paula directions exactly will definitely be using again”



“Candice was awesome. I’m sure my big boy was very happy during her visit.”


About: I have taken care of pets ever since I was 20. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and stay overnight with their pets. I had a (poodle) growing up. We also had fish, turtles, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, and rabbits. Right now I am available anytime and on the weekends. In September I will be available on Monday Tuesday morning before 10 and after one Wednesday all day Thursday in the morning before 10 and after one and Friday Saturday and Sunday all day. I will play with them in your home. Make sure they’re comfortable and happy just as if they were my own. I will also take them on walks and cuddle with them.

Abigail B.
“Abigail is not only one of the nicest people we know, but she is a doll with our pets. We have a Jack Russell that is 11 years old and a chihuahua that is 2 years old. They adore Abigail to pieces. Even when Abigail isn't walking our dogs, as soon as they see her they go crazy for her. We have used Abigail numerous times for our pets. We DO NOT want anyone else watching our animals. She is fun, loving and treats them like they are her own. I highly recommend Abigail to care for pets on Rover.com. She would be a great asset to your team. From walks, to feeding our furry friends, to make sure they are loved when we are not home, Abigail is the complete package.”
