ZaNai was great with my dog Charlie—super caring and reliable. She even cleaned up my place, which was such a nice surprise to come home to. Highly recommend!

I am so thankful to have Eyowyn care for my dogs. It was the first time leaving my Velcro pets. She worked patiently with us when we had last minute changes. She was able to calm them and they enjoyed her visits. Her confidence in being able to handle the situation allowed me to relax and enjoy my weekend away. I am so happy she will be in the area for another year!

Grant and Yunrui took great care of our dog, Ellie, for a full week at our house. We appreciated that they did a meet and greet ahead of time so we could make sure it was a good fit. They sent pictures and an update every night and Ellie seemed very happy when we got back. Thank you!

Telma took care of my sweet Hank and treated him as if he was her own. She provided updates and photos and even put hit sweatshirt on him when it was cold out. He had a blast on his walks and she was very quick to Respond and provide updates on Hank. She did a great job and I would strongly recommend her to family and friends. Thank you, Telma!

Will took amazing care of our pup, Finley, over the holiday weekend and made the entire experience completely stress-free. He was communicative, flexible, attentive, and clearly genuine in the way he cared for Finley, treating him with so much love and patience. We really appreciated the consistent updates and coming home to both a happy dog and a clean house. Will went above and beyond in every way, and we would gladly trust him again for any future sitting needs. Thank you once again, Will!

Dana took amazing care of our 15-year old golden lab while we were out of town for a week. She stayed in the house with her and gave extra care through thunderstorms which make our pup very nervous! Dana communicated daily about our dogs wellbeing which meant we never had to worry about being away from her. Dana is the best!

I have never had anyone stay in my home to doggy sit while I was out of town, but my regular drop-off sitters were unavailable. I contacted Hieu and Anna about sitting in my home for my almost 15 year old furkid, Zoe. We did a meet and greet and I was instantly comfortable with both Hieu and Anna. Zoe was her usual standoffish self, but I knew she would be fine. Hieu and Anna showed up on time and took excellent care of Zoe while I was away! They took Zoe on long walks and a couple of car rides. They provided pictures and daily updates of their time with Zoe. It was evident, when I arrived home, that Zoe had been well cared for. They also took excellent care of my home while they were here! The place was cleaner than when I left! I recommend Hieu and Anna 1000%! I will definitely ask them to sit for Zoe in the future!

Kyle did an amazing job taking care of my two big dogs after a last minute request for a weekend stay. My dogs warmed up to him immediately and he was very attentive to their needs. Kyle has also done additional drop in visits, providing updates and photos. I have already booked him for future housesitting and we will continue to book him as our trusted sitter.

Kerry was so great with our dog Quill when we were away! She sent updates and photos everyday and was very thoughtful and caring. When we got home, it was obvious Quill had a great time with Kerry and she truly cared for our house as well, leaving it as clean as when we left it. We would recommend Kerry as a dog sitter and definitely would use her again!

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own dog, including daily walks, feeding schedules, grooming, and maintaining a consistent routine. I understand the importance of patience, clear communication, and providing a safe, structured environment! 😊 I am comfortable with dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including younger puppies who may still be in training or that may have accidents. I am patient, attentive, and understand that consistency is key when working with younger dogs. I prioritize reliability, cleanliness, and carefully following all owner instructions to ensure each dog feels safe and comfortable!🐶🐾 I work full-time in the restaurant industry, so my weekday availability varies. I am generally available before 10:30 AM and after work hours, on mornings-only shifts, I typically get off by 4 PM, and on double shifts, availability may start later in the evening. Weekends I am fully available from morning until night, and occasionally I have spontaneous days off that I can dedicate to dog care. I always communicate my exact availability in advance. I provide attentive and loving care for pets in their own homes, including drop-in visits, daytime sitting, and walks. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, and playtime routines. I make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, and happy while keeping their environment clean and secure. On walks, I prioritize safety and exercise suited to each dog’s energy level. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away.

We had our first house sitting with Tara and she took great care of our boy and home. As was the case with day care, she was very communicative both prior to the stay to clarify his routine and during the sitting. We sincerely appreciated all of the fun and personalized updates that brought many laughs while we were away and the small gifts she left for us. It is clear Tara cares very much about her work, and she is undoubtedly one of the best sitters we’ve worked with. We recommend her without reservation for any Rover services.

About: Leaving your pet with someone else can feel stressful, I truly understand because I’m a dog parent myself. Communication and trust mean everything to me, so while you’re away, you’ll always know how your pup is doing. If you are looking for a caring home, not just a pet sitter, then we are a perfect match. My name is Angela and this is something I do together with my daughter because caring for animals genuinely brings us joy. When pets stay with us, they aren’t just being watched, they become part of our little family. Your pet will have a loving family giving them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection while you’re away. ** What You Can Expect ** ✔ Consistent updates and communication so you feel at ease.
 ✔ A calm, loving home environment.
 ✔ Plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles.
 ✔ Patient, attentive care for every personality. ** Experienced With Special Care ** Because my own dog had diabetes, I also have hands-on experience administering medication, including insulin shots. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable and calm during their care. ** Care That Matches Your Pet’s Needs ** Whether your pet is: — playful and full of energy — a little shy at first — or a sweet senior who prefers a calm space We’re happy to meet them exactly where they are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out to schedule a meet and greet. We’d love the chance to get to know you and your pet and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their stay. I work from home and that affords me great flexibility to take on Drop-ins and walks. Very flexible throughout the day and week. Early riser ! Safety , attention to detail and owner specific instruction are paramount to quality service. I would care for your pet with the love and care the way I care for my own.

Kerry was absolutely wonderful with my Henry! He injured his leg right before I was to take a trip and Kerry came to the rescue, watched my boy, and saved my trip! The questions she asked about Henry instilled confidence in me as Kerry was the first overnight petsitter I’ve had in my house. Her communication is top notch and she sent updates and pictures to let me know how things were going. I will 150% work with Kerry again! Thank you Kerry!!!

This was my first time leaving my babies with someone who wasn’t a family member or friend so I was extremely nervous for someone new to watch them. Za’Nai was the best! She sent me daily pictures and updates, she communicated efficiently and she took the dogs on adventures. When she had concerns or questions, she reached out which I greatly appreciated. I came home to happy dogs and a very clean home which was so nice to see after traveling all day. I will definitely be rebooking with her again in the future!
