“Casey was an absolute lifesaver! I decided to book because she had great reviews and I was not wrong!! She reorganized her schedule to stay with my brand new lab puppy (10 weeks) for a full 5 days. My apartment was spotless and my boy was so so happy!! He even needed medication which she diligently gave him and I came back to a happier and healthier than ever pup! She was fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three.

I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“We cannot recommend Edna highly enough! She recently watched our two mini dachshunds, Tux and Moo, and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met her, we could tell how kind and caring she is, and she made us feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care. Edna kept our home spotless while we were away, and she consistently checked in with us to provide updates. She even sent us the sweetest pictures of Tux and Moo, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved under her care. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them like family, Edna is the person for you. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”


“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”


“Katie is great with our dogs! She is very kind and sweet. She is very quick to respond and send us picture and video updates. She worked great with our two crazy dogs who had to be kept separated due to behavior issues and she adapted to the situation very well. She has now watched our dogs twice & we will certainly ask her in the future! Highly recommend Katie!”



“Rachel was great! She knows the trials of having a border collie puppy :) She took extra special care of our Orion. Sent extra cute pics throughout the day, walks an playtime. Sweet girl too.”



“Michaela is an attentive, caring pet sitter. She is an excellent communicator and took perfect care of our little dog as well as our home. I cannot say enough positive things about our first experience with her and Rover.com. I highly recommend Michaela!!!!”

“Melissa was an absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog Riley was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Riley is a very anxious dog, especially around new people, but Melissa made the extra effort to meet her a few times before our trip to help Riley feel at ease. Throughout our time away, Melissa sent us frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for Riley and left our house spotless. Melissa’s kindness and dedication were evident in every detail, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pet and goes the extra mile, Melissa is the perfect choice.”

We will not hesitate to call Alyssa when we go anywhere again, and now we have the peace of mind to make future plans!”


About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

“Mya did a great job with our 2 dogs while we were out of town. She made sure they got outside a lot and received plenty of attention. She also took good care of our house. I would definitely recommend her services and we would be happy to book with her again!”


About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working 11-8 so could be there with the animals in the morning and evening. The animals would be well taken care of. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.

About: I've been caring for pets since childhood - feeding, walking, bathing, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. I treat every pet like family, tuning into their needs with calm and compassionate care. My schedule is very flexible! I am available most weekdays & weekends, and I am happy to adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs. I currently provide pet care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in a familiar, stress-free environment. I am respectful, dependable, and follow your routines with care. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for walks, your pet’s safety & well-being are always my top priorities. I will share updates as often as you’d like, so you can feel confident while you're away.
