“Michelle was great with our little 10 week old puppy. She was able to step in at the last minute and watch him for an evening. He’s young so he can be a handful but came home to an excited puppy who didn’t seemed stressed at all and was well taken care of. Very professional and would recommend!”
“Denger (Brianna) was great and kept me updated with photos of my doggo. They also were super sweet and picked up around my house for me (took out the trash, picked up dog toys, etc) that I wasn't expecting. Solar was a happy boi”
“Raevyn was amazing with our senior dog while we went on 10 day vacation. She was timely and respectful, and always provided updates. Apple is not very friendly with strangers right away but with her she was immediately calm. Apple had a good time and we had a worry free vacation. We will definitely use her as our sitter in the future.”
“Jack was a complete professional during his recent dog sitting of our two dogs. He stayed at our home and was extremely attentive and respectful. Jack followed all care instructions and went over and beyond by taking our dogs to the park and playing with them frequently. He provided us daily updates and photos during our vacation that kept us at ease, especially while traveling out of state. I cannot recommend him enough, a gentleman in every way.”
About: I’ve basically lived in a zoo since I was a child, ha! My family always had a variety of animals, including dogs and cats. I’m new to Rover, but have so much love for animals! I’m a doctoral graduate student, but on summer break! My availability is pretty open, and I’m always happy to spend time with fur babies! My dogs are completely spoiled! They’re family members and treated as such. Plenty of loving, belly rubs, and I’m a proud professional ear scritcher! They sleep inside (usually on top of me in some way). I walk them both daily, but it’s usually more like they walk me, ha! Also, my youngest has separation anxiety and my older dog is completely terrified of loud noises (fireworks, cars backfiring, etc.), so I’m also very patient with dogs that need a little bit of extra love and care.
“Laura took great care of our two doggies! She was very communicative and I felt comfortable having her at our place. Look forward to booking with her the next time we need a pet sitter!”
“It was my first time using Rover since I don't have family or friends to help with pet sitting. Claudia was amazing. She got to meet my dog before the stay and my anxious and sometime mistrustful dog loved her. During the stay she did an amazing job and sent cute pictures and responded promptly! She's the best!”
“Sophia is amazing. She took my pup to the beach and good length walks. Understood everything I outlined for my pups care. She kept me informed with photos of their outings and screenshots of the distance and routes they walked. Sophia is true pet lover and is very accommodating. I will definitely use her services again. And my pups reviews says: I love her, she took me places and made me smile so big for photos, so mom wouldn’t worry! Sophia is paw approved! 🐾”
“2nd time using Cassandra and my Riley LOVES her. I didn’t have to worry for one second. She even took him to his favorite park!! Thank you for allowing me to have peace of mind while I was away!”
“Shauna was great! She was super communicative and took great care of my dog and cats. I felt completely at ease while I was away because I felt confident that my pets were being taken great care of. She sent me great pictures and all the animals seemed completely happy and relaxed when I came home. I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I’ve had three dogs through my childhood/adulthood. I’ve had the same poodle since I was 10 years old (she’s 17 now!). Would love to help take care of your pups too and provide peace of mind while you’re away. I have a very flexible, remote job. Therefore, I am available any time/day of the week. I can drop in or house sit, whatever suits your needs I am open-minded when it comes to pet care and will carry out whatever pet routines you have in place. I’m open to multiple daily walks.
“Jasmine was amazing with Penny. She always gave me updates with pictures which made me feel at ease while away. She was very attentive to Pennys needs and kept her routine very comfortable and consistent. I also enjoyed that Jasmine played and walked Penny daily. She’s awesome! 😊”
About: I've been a cat lady my entire life. Until finding a litter of month old puppies in a Weinerschnitzel parking lot late one stormy night almost 3 years ago. I've long been involved in cat rescue, and thought "I can foster puppies." I failed catastrophically at that. 😂🐈⬛🐕🐕🐛🦋💗 ChiliDog and SmallFry are the joy of my life. Sisters and best friends, they're a pair of wild rambunctious Siberian Huskies, each with their own unique personalities, and lots of energy to burn. We go to the dog park almost every single day to run a few miles, with an entire pack of their closest friends of course. I've been a pet sitter for over 8 years now. I worked for Prefurred Pet Care from November of 2017 - until the business closed in the summer of 2025. I've worked for Bark City Sitting since July of 2024 - present. I have lots of experience with many different breeds and personalities. I know how intelligent dogs are and treat them with the respect they deserve. I also have experience with medicating dogs. I look forward to meeting your furbabies and getting to know the charming quirks that make them special. I have 35 years of cat care experience. I'm a bit of a cat whisperer. I'm skilled at befriending the shy timid kitties. I also have experience with some exotic pet care, like raising Monarch butterflies and Praying Mantises. Thank you for considering me to help meet your pets needs. I'm looking forward to making new furry friends. I've been a full time petsitter for 8 years now. I'm looking to grow my clientele again, after the company I was working for closed. I'm also an artist. So my schedule is mostly free and flexible, other than the occasional art shows. I'm available for walks or drop in visits most days from 10am to 10pm. I understand that trusting a stranger in your home is a scary decision. I struggled with that myself the first time I ever hired a pet sitter for my kids. Please know that I will treat your home, and your furbabies with the utmost respect. I do like to arrange a meet & greet with any dogs before our scheduled visit, for both mine and your safety. Everyone should feel comfortable with the dynamic before we proceed.
“We ended up having to cancel Lissi, as my husband became sick and we couldn't go on the getaway we had planned for. We met Lissi however and she seems great - will definitely use her in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 9! I provide reliable, personalized pet care with experience handling puppies, senior pets, medication administration, routine reinforcement, exercise, and regular updates for owners. I am currently a college student! So I would have time to check in on the baby’s, have some fun walks, and make sure everyone is safe and sound. At home, I have two small dogs they are both maltese boys. I make sure they are fed on time, have their daily walks, and I spend quality time with them! I sometimes even like to take them shopping. I would be willing to cater to whatever the pup/owner wants!
“Lupe was a pleasure! She took great care of our cat Olive and our house. Lupe sent us tons of photos and communicated clearly and quickly. We will definitely be booking with Lupe again!”
About: I’m a dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets for family and friends through house sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and feeding schedules. I previously owned a beautiful Belgian Shepherd named Izzy, who was my adventure buddy for many years. After recently losing her, I’ve found a lot of joy in spending time with and caring for other people’s furry companions. I currently work a hybrid schedule, which gives me flexibility during the day to stop by for potty breaks, walks, playtime, or just some extra company and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk, overnight care, or someone to check in and make sure they’re comfortable, I’m happy to help. As a former dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands. My goal is to help give you peace of mind while also giving your pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. I’m excited to meet you and your furry family members while earning a little extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. I'm available to stay overnight at your home Fridays - Tuesday evenings. I have a hybrid work schedule so I am available to drop in during the workday to provide any walks or potty breaks that are needed. I'm unavailable to pet sit, walk, or do drop-ins on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I can spend the night at your home to help ensure your furry companion doesn't experience separation anxiety. I've spent time walking dogs of all sizes, and I make sure to learn any triggers your animals may have before taking them on walks. I'll send photos of your animals while you're away to help you feel at peace and enjoy your vacation or work trip!
“Jessica provided excellent care to my two Viźslas, Ashford and Suede! My crazy high energy pups can be a handful! Jessica did a wonderful job with them. She was attentive, communicative, and present with them; and kept them on their routine. I heard from her throughout the day, and received a bunch of pics and updates! Making it easy for me to be comfortable and relaxed knowing my fur babies were being loved on! We've already booked another stay, just a few days away! Needless-to-say, I reccomend Jessica to care for your furbaby!”
About: I’m an experienced pet sitter with a strong background caring for both cats and dogs. I have three cats of my own, including one with asthma, and I regularly administer his medication and closely monitor his health and behavior. I’m very attentive to routines, cleanliness, and making sure cats feel comfortable and secure. I also have an AKC-trained dog, so I’m familiar with reinforcing basic training, structure, and daily routines. I’ve pet sat for others in their homes and am experienced with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic grooming, and following care instructions carefully. I’m also a pet photographer, which has made me especially patient and observant of animal behavior. I work from home, which allows me to be flexible and present throughout the day for pet care. My schedule easily accommodates feedings, walks, medication, playtime, and check-ins without pets being left alone for long periods. I also do photography on the side, which gives me additional flexibility in planning my day. I’m reliable, responsive, and able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every home I care for. I carefully follow all instructions and maintain a calm, clean environment for pets. I have reliable transportation and my own car, allowing me to travel easily for drop-ins, house sitting, or emergency needs if they arise. I’m respectful of clients’ homes, attentive to behavior and health changes, and committed to providing dependable, thoughtful care at all times.

Alivia took wonderful care of our 2 dogs--giving them their daily medicine, taking them on just the right amount of walks (one of ours is a young active dog and the other is a senior dog with arthritis). She also sent us lots of updates and photos. Will definitely book again!
Absolutely wonderful experience! Andrea was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced with dogs. I felt really comfortable leaving my pup in her care, and it was obvious my dog was well looked after and happy. Communication was great throughout, and I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter!
Wow! This surpassed every expectation I had; Glasgow was so happy and at peace for the 9+ day overnight trip while we were overseas. We've never had a formal house / pet sitter before, and we are so happy we found Denger — we're already re-booking them for future trips. :) Thank you for giving us the confidence and care...we're so thankful!
Riley was great! She left our home tidy and clean. She sent us lots of pics to update us which we really appreciated. Very easy to communicate with and she is quick to respond. Our girl Kita loved her. Would absolutely recommend her and use her services again in the future :)
Michelle was fantastic with our little girl. Usually Bella barks at strangers, but immediately took to Michelle. She took excellent care of Bella and even helped to potty train her to pee outside. Michelle is the perfect dog sitter. She stayed at our house and left it immaculate. Hopefully she’s available for the next 15 years or so to watch Bella every time we go out of town.
Jasmine was amazing with Penny. She always gave me updates with pictures which made me feel at ease while away. She was very attentive to Pennys needs and kept her routine very comfortable and consistent. I also enjoyed that Jasmine played and walked Penny daily. She’s awesome! 😊
Amazing! Joanna was very communicative, asked all the “right” questions about our puppy and puppy’s needs. Great on reporting details which is important as we, doggy parents, are trying to navigate routines etc with our puppy. Very personal and helpful. We will definitely be seeking her again for future puppy-sitting 🐶.
Diane is awesome!! She communicates very well and responded to all messages and text mails quickly. She was very punctual and She sent pictures and updates about Frito every day. I returned home to a clean home and a very happy Frito. I would definitely hire Diane to dog sit again in the future.
Lorretta was great! We needed a sitter last-minute do to our previous sitter being unavailable. Lorretta lived nearby, so she was able to visit on a consistent schedule and give our dog and cat a sense of normalcy while we were gone. Good communicator and good picture/video taker!
****** Us: helicopter dog parents with one little dog and one big dog anxious to leave our babies with someone we didn't know. (Enter Sophia) She came over to our place to get to know our girls and chatted with us and answered all our questions and alleviated our concerns. She came over early the day we left for a 7 day trip and walked the girls with us. She stayed at our house and took excellent care of our babies. Always sending us pictures and updates as we requested. We have already booked her again. I would recommend Sophia to my friends and family. She is an exceptional dog whisperer!
Tayanna was amazing! She made my kitty feel so comfortable and loved on while I was out of town and gave me updates throughout the entire time. I’m very protective and particular with who watches my girl, and I know I absolutely made the right choice with Tayanna.
