“Braelyn was so awesome. She clearly loves animals and took such good care of our house. Everything was clean, bedding was washed, and the dogs seemed so relaxed when we got back. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be booking again :)”
“We could not have asked for a better house sitter! This was our first time having someone stay at our place and care for our dog and two cats, and Mandy was amazing! All three pets really liked her, even one who is generally shy around most people. The house was left exactly as we left it, and her daily updates and photos made us feel so comfortable that I didn't worry one bit during our 9 day stay in New Zealand. I will definitely hire her again and I highly recommend her services!”
“Emily was so thoughtful and communicative in her approach and service with my two year old cat. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat and my place. Would highly recommend!!”
“Lilou was great with Lola, especially during the 4th of July for a night of scary fireworks. She was communicative and responsive all week. She sent pictures of Lola playing and Lola seemed to have a great time.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve provided pet sitting for friends and clients, including feeding, cleaning litter boxes, walking dogs, and spending quality time with their pets while they’re away. I have experience administering medicine and giving injections to cats, including caring for my own cat who had cancer and another diabetic cat. I’m comfortable handling pets with special health needs and always make sure they feel safe and cared for. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work full-time in person Monday-Friday, so I’m generally available for visits before work, after work, and on weekends. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, and playtime, to help them feel secure while their family is away. I always respect the client’s home by keeping things tidy and following any specific instructions they leave. Most importantly, I spend quality time with each pet so they feel loved, calm, and not alone while their owners are gone.
“Kristen was so wonderful! She was easy to get in touch with, sent photos, and I could tell she took very good care of the pets and our home. We came back to very happy animals! We will definitely reach out to Kristen again when we need a sitter in the future. Thank you, Kristen!”
“Great communication and care with our cat & dog while we were out of town. Pulled our reclusive cat right out of her shell, kept our dog busy and well played with!”
“Josh was amazing with my girls! He sent lots of photo updates taking Layla on long walks, she was clearly so happy with him. Grateful he tried all the things I usually do when I’m home to get this picky girl to eat her dinner! Lol plus lots of snuggles for the kitties. Came back to a spotless home too.”
“Alisha is great! She is attentive to my pup’s needs, and I can tell she really cares. Alisha communicates very well and is very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
“Such an amazing house sitter! Emily watched our cat and highly anxious dog for over 10 days and did a phenomenal job, followed instructions perfectly. We felt very at ease while on vacation. Highly recommend.”
“Tanya took excellent care of my rambunctious Australian Cattle Herder and my home once again. I don’t have a second of worry when Tanya is in charge. She is thoughtful, conscientious and thorough. So grateful!”
“Overall, great experience working with Bill. Communicative and easy to work with. Took great care of both my dog and cat at our home. We felt comfortable while we were in California for the holidays knowing our furry loved ones are comfortable at our home with Bill. They were taken care of and loved. We will be using him every time her on out.”
“Michael was great with our dogs, took them on individual walks and also took good care of our house. He followed all of my instructions and there weren't any issues. We will definitely book with him again!”
“Paul went above and beyond when watching our pups, and kept us up-to-date with real time updates and pictures. One of our dogs recently had TPLO surgery and needed extra care, and Paul was very willing to make sure her strict limitations were followed. We will definitely use Paul again!”
“Frederick was a joy to work with and provided excellent care for my dogs. He kept me updated throughout the stay, communicated clearly, and wasn’t afraid to ask questions when he needed clarification, which I really appreciated. He was punctual, reliable, and respectful of my home. My roommates also enjoyed interacting with him, and it was clear that he genuinely cares about animals and takes pride in the work he does. Knowing my dogs were in good hands gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely book Frederick again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
Leyden pet parents share their Rover experiences
Lilou was great! From our initial meet and greet and making sure she was comfortable staying at our apartment , to a second visit where we walked the dogs and showed her around the neighborhood so she was sure how to get in and out of our building. We felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of our boys since she has dogs of her own and lots of experience sitting other dogs. She sent us updates and pictures which we appreciated very much. She had no issues with our dogs which was great. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would love to have her again in the future. Thanks Lilou!
Tanya did an excellent job caring for our dog Lucy and our cat Baxter. She was exceptionally communicative from the minute we first reached out until we returned home from the trip. She followed all of our instructions on how to care for them and asked great questions when she was unsure about something. We came home to a very clean house and two very happy animals. We feel very lucky to have found Tanya and will absolutely be booking her again!
Anna is lovely!! So kind and communicative, and was great with my cats for a last-minute overnight. I felt totally comfortable and confident with her staying in my home. She asked questions and sent lots of updates, which I really appreciated. Highly recommend!

El does an amazing job with our dogs. She *really cares about our dogs... she loves them, stays with them and looks out for their needs. I have hired alot of different sitters over the past 3 years as I travel alot for work. El, by far is the best in so many ways. I intend to keep booking her as long as she is available.
Had another great stay for our girls with Michael while we were out of town! They were well taken care of and had all needs met. Michael keeps us in the loop about how they are doing and that helps me feel more comfortable about someone staying with the dogs. Will definitely book with him again!
Olivia was wonderful! She took the time to meet with us beforehand to go over all of our dogs’ needs, which gave us so much peace of mind. She communicated clearly, sent daily updates and pictures, and made us feel confident that our pets were in great hands. She truly went above and beyond as we came home to a super clean house, as if no one had even stayed over with our pets. We will absolutely book her again.
We would give 1,000 stars if we could! Cassandra is a godsend. We were in a panic after finding out our family member that typical stays with Bitsa was unavailable during a 2-week trip across the world and we only had three weeks to find someone who I trusted and could stay in our home. I was so happy to find Cassandra on Rover. She didn’t even blink an eye after telling her about the separation anxiety Bitsa suffers from that usually keeps her from eating for a couple days after we leave, and also requires Bitsa isn’t alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. She was so patient with her and had her eating by day two!! We received pictures and updates everyday which I loved. Bitsa was so well taking care of I had to write this review the night we returned. We had an unexpected flight delay and she was happy to stay a couple hours longer to make sure Bitsa has dinner and a walk. It was a total surprise to walk in the door and find our home so clean! We greatly appreciated all Cassandra did for us, and Bitsa and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a first-class pet sitter!!
Tania was a perfect housesitter for our GSD Nova while we were away for a multi-day ski trip. She was very flexible with us as we were struggling to leave and return on time, and was willing to help when a special delivery was scheduled for us while we were away. Nova seemed to really like her, and she was excited to run through training sessions with Nova each night. She also provided some of the best photos of Nova we have ever seen! I would absolutely recommend Tania to anyone.
Alex was fantastic and we will certainly look to book her again in the future. On short notice she stayed at my house and watched my two dogs and two cats. She provided the perfect amount of communication and sent detailed pictures and updates. The animals were clearly very happy and comfortable with her. Our house was also well taken care of and clean when we returned.
