“We hired Cynthia to house sit for our dog, cat, and chickens for over a week. She did a great job! She spent a ton of time at the house, sent consistent updates, and took great care of our babies. We had our outgoing flight delayed by over a day, and Cynthia was flexible and understanding.”

“Jeanne is AMAZING. We got home to happy dog, clean house, an awesome day by day journal, and near daily check ins (that we kept requesting and appreciating). Jeanne is an awesome communicator, kept our house in immaculate condition, and all was well during our vacation. We will 100% use her again and knowing we have a great sitter for Winnie makes me even more inclined to book a future vacation. 100% recommend.”

“Amanda did an outstanding job taking care of our cats and home while we were away. She has amazing attention to detail, and always gave us plenty of updates and pics so we felt connected to our pets. She is very kind, responsible, and professional. We highly recommend Amanda!”

“Lenys did a fantastic job watching my dog Miles. She was very attentive to him, and she provided transparent communication as well as pictures throughout the week. I would highly recommend her.”

About: Hi there! I've grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. There's not been one time where we haven't had either one in the house. (I even worked with horses for eight years) There's nothing more satisfying than to come home after a long day's work and to cuddle with my dog and cat. I've taught my pets tricks over the years; and one of my dogs and I loved running through the field at top speed when I was younger. So, if your pup is feeling more than just a walk, I'll give them a run for their money. I've also taken care of my brother's boxer who was my dearest friend and who is dearly missed. My sister owns five dogs and we love to hike, so your dog is more than welcome to join us! Basically, I'm just your ordinary girl who enjoys a good time with the pups. I do have a job that has me work either day or night shifts, but I can certainly get your dog the potty breaks and attention they need. My services are in the comfort of your pet's own home. They are my top priority. So, if that means a good play time, outdoor time (I believe in fresh air and sunlight for people and animals), brushing (I love watching my dog enjoying her little massage (and getting all the hair out, so satisfying), or just some TLC, I'll be there.

“Paul did an awesome job taking care of our elderly dog. It was difficult to leave her with a new dog sitter (our usual sitter got a new job) but after meeting Paul and seeing that Rheyah was immediately comfortable with him, we felt confident that he would take good care of her. Paul made sure that Rheyah took her medicine multiple times per day, fed her a special diet and even gave her a partial bath every other night to treat her chronic skin condition. He also took her for 2 walks per day when the weather permitted. Paul’s frequent photos and descriptions of what he and Rheyah were doing helped to calm my anxiety about leaving her with someone new. Not only did Paul take care of Rheyah, but he also fed my fish and managed to keep my not-so-healthy plants alive! We are very grateful that Paul’s profile came up on Rover and that he agreed to take care of Rheyah so that we could attend our granddaughter’s 1st birthday. We highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs a conscientious caring pet sitter!”

About: I don’t have much formal dog sitting experience yet, but I’m a college student looking to earn some extra income on the side. I’ve had two dogs of my own for the past six years, so I’m very comfortable with routines, feeding schedules, walks, and understanding dog behavior. I’m flexible with hours, patient, and will make sure your dog feels safe, cared for, and loved. I’m transitioning out of my full-time job to focus on school this summer, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available for overnight stays anytime and can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and check-ins throughout the day. Pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to give your dog consistent attention, care, and companionship. I care for pets by following a consistent routine, just like I do with my own dogs. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m very attentive to their behavior and needs, whether that’s giving them space, exercise, or extra comfort. I also keep spaces clean and organized. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the same way I treat my own dogs.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”

“Julie went above and beyond when it came to our pups. Aside from the wonderful videos and pictures, she provided us with a unique understanding of what our dogs were thinking and how they viewed things. We felt comfortable the entire time we were gone and we will absolutely be using Julie’s services in the future. We HIGHLY recommend you work with Julie for your needs!”

“Faith is the best pet sitter! She has been house sitting my 2 standard poodles for over a year. It’s very reassuring to know my special girls are in very good hands when I go away! Thank you Faith!”

“Katelyn is great! We’ve had her to our house twice now to stay overnight with our girls. She sends updates throughout the stay and our girls always seem to be very happy after a weekend with her.”

“Ian took such great care of our girl while we were gone traveling! He went above and beyond to ensure she ate when she didn’t want to because we left and provided great updates! I will definitely use him again!”

“Catie is a gem! We met twice before she stayed with our two small dogs for 4 nights. Catie updated us frequently and left our house spotless… and our dogs love her! She is kind, highly reliable, a great communicator and is a truly lovely person. So happy to have found her!”

“Michael had been wonderful and he has helped us out with our two dogs several times. He communicates well and my dogs have been so happy having him stay with them while we are gone. Would recommend him to take care of your pets.”

“Emma was AMAZING! 3 Great Danes and she handled their clumsy-ness and lap dog tenancies without a hitch. My stupid dogs ran off to the neighbors house and had an incident with the neighbor dog. She handled the situation perfectly and kept my dogs, the neighbor and their dog, and myself feeling safe about the incident the rest of booking. When I got home and apologized again to my neighbor, they said that Emma did great the whole time and were impressed with the way she handled things. 10/10 would recommend Emma!!”


About: I’m the designated dog walker for family and friends because I love going on walks, and dogs love coming with me! I grew up with a dog but only have two cats of my own— so I miss having that four-legged friend to go with me! I’d love to take your dog out for a walk/run, or just let them stretch their legs. Cat owners, I’m happy to give your kitties as much or as little space as they need while making sure they feel the love :) I don’t work Fridays or Saturdays, so I am free to help anytime then! Definitely looking to fill my Fridays up with some time outside, and I’d love to take your dog with me - or check in on your cat! I usually walk my parent’s and brother’s dogs (about 80 lbs each) so I know how to handle bigger dogs on leashes who tend to stray from the sidewalk. I can clean up after them, feed them, and give them all the pets! For my cats at home, I love to play with strings or catnip - and can cater to their personality as need be.
