“Nicole was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our two dogs and cat. Our younger dog had a tough couple of days of separation anxiety after we left, and she did an incredible job helping her get through it. We'd love to have Nicole watch our babies again!”


“Renee went above and beyond taking care of our dog, including leaving him rose petals on Valentine's day! She provided regular updates and was sure to snuggle up with him a ton while we were away! Thank you so much for the wonderful care!!”


“Tori is a great sitter for our senior pups. She takes great care of them, follows their complicated care instructions, and administers eye drops. She is a perfect houseguest, leaves the apartment in perfect condition, and even washes their meal bowls. If you’re considering her for dog walking or sitting, look no further!”

“Christina has been cat sitting my two fur babies for a couple of months when I go on business trips. She has wonderful communication and my cats (who are picky) love when she’s over. They are well taken cared of and hope to continue booking with Christina for future pet sitting needs ! Thank you, Christina !”


“I recently booked Julia to house sit and look after my young cat while I was on vacation. My cat hasn’t been away from me for long and I was worried about leaving her. Julia was incredibly helpful and responsive, completely making me feel at ease throughout the process. She is professional, an intelligent communicator, and very gifted with animals. My cat is very shy but I could tell that she was happy and comfortable with Julia through the many pictures and videos I received. Highly recommend. Thank you Julia! I will be booking again!”


“Addie was great! Our dog can be very anxious, especially with new people and in new places, but she seemed to trust Addie very quickly and we felt much more comfortable leaving her with someone while we went out.”



“Diana stayed at our home with Queeny for a week over the Christmas holidays. I received daily updates about walks and activities. Through photos and messages, it was clear Queeny was very content with her new pal while I was away. During our initial meeting Diana demonstrated great leash handling with Queeny, who is notoriously excitable on walks in Patterson Park. She was also very cautious about the length of walks during the extreme cold weather. I highly recommend Diana and would not hesitate to book her again!”


“Wonderful house and dog sitter! Wren was spoiled rotten and (while excited to see us) was happy as a clam when we arrived back. We got lots of updates, pictures and videos. Thank you!!!!”


“Daniel was great! Short notice availability. He was very accommodating with some minor last minute requests, and also when our relatives had to drop by a few times. Consistently sent (VERY adorable!) photos with a brief note/comment every day while we were on vacation. Was good about being communicative and responding to any questions as needed. House was left pretty clean when we came back. Highly recommend!!”


“Whitney watched our new puppy so we could finally have a day away! We felt so comfortable and confident after our meet and greet, and our pup Luna seems to have had the best time! And we got super cute photo updates!! Bonus! Highly recommend”


“Mya is wonderful!! She took great care of Violet while we were gone for a week. We got daily pictures! Mya provided a lot of snuggles and love. We are already booking with Mya again!!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Zoe! Bailey - who is a great judge of character - like her so much he even slept in the bed with her! Without asking she brought in our recycling and trash bins in addition to bringing our packages indoors - truly going above and. Highly recommend her if you want a trustworthy, loving sitter!”


“Sai was phenomenal! He was super communicative, very punctual, and our fur babies were well taken care of. Daily texts with pictures and very flexible to accommodate a later than expected arrival home. Thank you!”


About: I am currently a dog walker for a local service looking to add some doggos to my schedule! I have been around animals my entire life. My family had at least one dog and one cat at all times when I was growing up. I have experience with reactive dogs, senior dogs, and puppies. I absolutely love animals!! I have a dog that is 6 years old, we got her at the start of COVID and she is my soulmate dog. I am currently between jobs and looking for some joy and a way to fill some time, what better way than to help care for your pet! I care deeply for animals, being with them brings me so much happiness. You can trust that I will do everything in my power to keep your pet safe, fed, and loved in your absence. I am currently between jobs so I have ample time to offer to any pet. Anytime, anywhere I can be there to help out with your pet! I don't offer boarding in my home because my dog is very reactive to other animals but I would be more than happy to come to your home and care for your pet there. I love running around the yard, playing with enrichment toys and going on walks.

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and genuine care. What sets me apart is my calm and consistent presence, which helps pets feel safe, especially in their own home. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior dogs who need a gentler pace and extra care. I’m available every week day between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM, which gives me a consistent window to dedicate time and attention to pets. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, so walking dogs or caring for pets during that time fits perfectly into my schedule. I only offer pet care in the client’s home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also keep the environment clean and give pets plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away.

“Korrey had excellent communication during my entire trip, was thoughtful and kind and conscientious. Being able to keep my pup in her own environment was a joy for her and me! And Korrey spoiled my Eva like she was his own - hang time, walks, and countless trips to the dog park (her favorite place on the planet! ) and sent pics of all their adventures. Korrey went above and beyond in every aspect and I look forward to reaching out to him the next time we're in need of a sitter!! Seriously cannot recommend him enough.”


“Simply put, Vanessa is perfect as a pet and house sitter. She took excellent care of our senior dog and our young cat.Our senior dog requires a lot of attention and medications and Vanessa handle this perfectly. Our young cat is very shy among most people, but immediately warmed up to Vanessa. She communicated extremely well and kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout our trip. We were able to enjoy our vacation thourghly because we had so much confidence in how Vanessa was caring for our pets and our home. I could not give a higher recommendation, and we are definitely going to use Vanessa again. Thank you Vanessa!!”


“It was my first time using Rover and Sjoribel was great. She came to meet my dog and won her over immediately. Plus she asked good questions, communicated promptly, sent pictures and updates, and left the house in great shape. What more could you want.”



“Katie is so absolutely lovely, our dog Stega adored her. Katie did an incredible job getting Stega out of her shell and making her feel safe while we were out of town. Katie was responsive, respectful, knowledgeable, easy to communicate with, and Stega immediately took to her. Stega is not the easiest dog to win over, so we were very grateful that she had such a warm, playful, and approachable personality. Katie also took lots of pictures, which we loved. Excited to have her back next time we travel without our beloved pup!”

Leeway pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were so happy that we found Ali to house sit for our 2 dogs and cat! She is incredibly kind, respectful, and answers promptly. Ali accommodated a short notice meet and greet that helped put us at ease, knowing that our crew would be in great hands. With a new house and a 2yo GSD recovering from CCL surgery, it definitely was a challenging sit & not easy for anyone to jump into. We recieved plenty of updates, pics, and helpful/insightful post-visit notes. Thank you again Ali for handling this like a true professional! We hope to have you back soon!

Liudmyla was an OUTSTANDING dog and house sitter. I am so lucky to have found her. She stayed in our house for 10 days while we were out of the country for a wedding, and it was such a relief to not have to worry about our clingy 6 month old puppy while we were gone. Liudmyla sent tons of photos and videos and was not shy to ask questions when our instructions were not clear. We will definitely be booking Liudmyla again!

Dana is a real gem! She is communicative, caring and punctual…everything you hope to experience with someone who is watching your pet or home. She even dealt with an unexpected lightning strike to a tree near my home with professionalism. I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone looking for a quality sitter.

Ellie was amazing! We were very anxious leaving Finley for a week, but he ended up being in such good hands. Ellie had great communication, was patient with our sometimes anxious and moody rescue dog, gave us helpful updates, took care of the house, and more. Couldn’t ask for a better caretaker and relieved that we have someone we can trust and book for next time!

Spencer did a great job giving us regular updates about our pets (dog and cat) while we were out of town. It was very reassuring knowing they were in good hands. They looked so happy in all of the photos he sent us so I know they had a great time. I would happily have Spencer watch our pets again.

Yiting was the most attentive and thoughtful I’ve found in my area! She was very communicative throughout the entire time and I gave her specific instructions which she followed to the letter. Even more important, my dog seemed comfortable and had all the playtime he needed while I was gone. Highly recommend
