“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”
“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”
“Rebekah was so sweet, prompt and attentive to my dogs! She stayed overnight and was clean and thoughtful to send me many excellent photos of my happy dogs.”
“Scott was wonderful! He was very communicative, took lots of photos, followed our instructions, and left our home neat and tidy. We would not hesitate to book him again!”
About: I care for 3 dogs, 9 cats, & more in a happy, healthy, and clean home. Animals and their wellbeing is central to my life at home. I'm happy to offer my caring attention to your family as well! I am a local middle school teacher who's off for the summer, so I am free 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Open to long or short term work. Each species has it's own language, each breed it's own dialect, and each animal a unique personality. After years of caring for my own animals, I understand that nothing is more important than looking and listening when they attempt to communicate.
“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”
“Kristie looked after out pit-mix and cat for a weekend and was fantastic. She was gracious and asked great questions during our initial meet and greet. She gave us updates and pics throughout the weekend. She was such a calm presence for our animals while we were away. Our home was clean and looked great, when we returned. We would definitely rebook with her. Thank you Kristie!”
“Lauren is an exceptional sitter. She really understood the different needs of our dogs and was conscientious in every way. She was also very communicative and took great care of our home. We look forward to booking her again!”
“Emily was great! She house sat for us and took great care of our very active Boykin Spaniel. She sent me pictures everyday we were gone and came home to a clean house. Would definitely use her again!”
“We learned of Hannah through a neighbor who used her and was so pleased they are using her again. I was a little worried as i have never used a service like this before but she eased my mind. She was great, she sent pictures & our house was the same as when we left, our dogs were well taken care of and she even did extras like collecting our mail ect.. We have already booked another sitting and definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter.”
“Laura did a great job with our dog. It was her first time with a dog sitter, but Laura was gentle and patient with her and gave her excellent care. She sent lots of good pictures and updates, too!”
“Lauren took such great care of our crew! We were a little anxious leaving our cats and dogs overnight for the first time and Lauren made us feel at ease. When we returned home our house was left exactly as we left it. Additionally, some of our most shy cats came out to see her which is so rare for them! We are so happy to have found Lauren and look forward to having her take care of our pets in the future”
About: I’m a reliable and attentive pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation to your furbabies. I have hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including personal care, drop-ins, in-home sitting, training my own dogs, and raising puppies and litters of cats. I’m patient, detail-oriented, and always follow care instructions closely. I currently do not work so I am available any day or time throughout the week and weekend. I have no preference for time of day or time of night. While in a clients home I’ll give your fur baby all the attention in the world but also respect when an animal wants their own space. I’m quick to recognize body language on an animal. I’ll always be checking food and water. Play with them if any toys are available
“Jeweliana and Riley took excellent care of our two dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. They sent us lots of updates and pictures while we were away, which gave us peace of mind our pups were in such good hands. Our house was spotless when we returned and our fur babies were very happy. We will absolutely book them again!”
“I just cannot say enough good things about Michelle. She is the first sitter I’ve had that has cats herself and my goodness, those must be the luckiest kitties in the world! She was so so good with our babies Bubba and Dreamy; she played with them, snuggled with them, fed them, cleaned them, spent all her time with them, and shared so many pictures and videos with us. Bubba is a little anxious and the first 2 days were tough with her stress colitis, I’m sure that litter box did not smell okay lol, and Michelle handled it like a pro. I dislike leaving the cats when I travel, but honestly did not mind it this time. I was able to truly fully enjoy my trip, and I knew that they were enjoying their time with Michelle! Goodness she is so sweet. My husband and I would watch the videos she would send and he would always say, we need to play more with the cats when we get back, because they had such a good time playing with Michelle and we want to make sure we’re living up to that standard! All in all would 10000% have her again. We love her so much. P.S. please don’t book her when I need her :P”

Cathryn took great care of our cat, Floyd, and our new (very energetic) dog, Daisy! She had been thorough with all communications and overall, a joy to work with. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Cathryn has been generous with her time, staying with her! We look forward to booking with her in the future.
Lyndsay is amazing!! She took care of our Sigi as if she was her own. She also stayed the night and made sure she was comfortable and took very good care of our house. Lyndsay is reliable and prompt in her communication and took care with medication and supplement instructions. We will be using her again soon and highly recommend her!!! Thank you again Lyndsay for putting our minds at ease while we were away.
Atreyu took amazing care of Nico and we couldn’t be happier. He followed every single instruction carefully, kept us updated throughout the stay, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Communication was excellent from start to finish. He sent regular updates and clearly paid close attention to Nico’s routines and needs. It’s obvious he genuinely cares about the pets he looks after. On top of that, he left our place in excellent condition. Everything was clean, organized, and just as we left it. We would absolutely trust Atreyu again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and reliable sitter.
Hallie left my mida at ease while I was away for a few days. From the initial meet and greet all the way through me returning home, I felt so comfortable leaving my guy Gideon with her. Communication was great and I could tell from the first pics she sent me that my dog was in great hands! Thank you Hallie, hope Gideon can hang out again soon :)
Zoe was great for our furbabies. She was very attentive to their extra needs and anxieties, especially with the holiday fireworks. She even had our grumpy old man cat snuggling up at bedtime. I appreciated her communication and updates. I will definitely use Zoe again for future needs!
