About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets since a young age, including raising guide dog puppies with my family. I’ve since owned dogs, cats, rodents, lizards, frogs, spiders, and fish so I can tackle many needs. I’m well-versed in basic pet first aid and dietary needs (having worked at a specialty pet shop that made its own healthy gourmet pet treats for several years). My own dogs have included a registered and trained therapy dog as well as my current rescue dog who I’ve trained through his struggles with anxiety and reactivity. He and I love outdoor adventures and being active! I’ve fostered over 20 dogs and cats through shelters of all shapes, sizes, and ages and can’t get enough. I’d love to get to know your pet and all their unique quirks! I’m a teacher, so my schedule is wide open during the summers and school holidays. During the school year, I’m free after 3PM weekdays and anytime on the weekends. I’m very conscious of pet health and wellbeing. I’m selective about the food and treats I give my dog and willing to adapt to the needs and expectations of other pet parents who know their pets best! I stick to a regular routine of walks and other outings with plenty of enrichment in between. My own pets get medication and supplements as well as nutritious food toppers with every meal and I’ll gladly do the same for yours.
“Nicole was on time, and took great care of my two boys. She sent pictures to keep my up to date as well which was greatly appreciated. I Highly recommend Nicole!”
“Richard was great with Moosey! Fast communicator. Sent pics and videos. Super respectful and left my place clean. Moosey loved him. Definitely would recommend and would book again for my future trips.”
“Such an amazing person and it shows through his care! Left our home cleaner than he found it (took out the trash and even washed some towels used for the doggos). Updates for the month we were gone were exactly what we needed! He tried to base it off our time zone, was great & speedy in emergency situations, and the photos gave us peace of mind. Our dogs & family love him and can’t wait to book him for our next trip!”
“Jessica was wonderful. My dogs were well cared for and my house was well kept. I have one dog that takes a while to warm up to people and just in the matter of one night she already had him cuddling up to her like he does to us. So grateful! We will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“This is 2nd time booking Meagan and she’s proven to be reliable, kind, trustworthy and responsible with our 2 fur babies at our home ❤️ our one, usually aggressive doggie liked her from the first intro 🤗”
“Jessica was amazing with my little Hazel. She was very accomodating to a unique sitting situation and made Hazel very comfortable. Would definitely have her doggy sit again.”
“The best!! She treated our pups like her own. Lots of updates and very cute pictures. This was my first time using rover for pet care so I was a bit worried but the dogs felt comfortable with Yasmeen right away! Got a rover and pup photoshoot all in one.”
“We never were really comfortable with leaving our boys at the clinic while we travel. Kaya made it so easy for us. She is extremely friendly, helpful, kind and informative. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Peyton was fantastic. She text me photos' each morning, and gave updates regularly during our 10 day trip. She was very respectful to our house, and Jenna was a very happy kitty. I would definitely rebook Peyton!”
“Simeon was great! We met before booking which helped ease our nervousness! Simeon spent 10 days with Luna, walking her and making sure she was loved, fed, and had water while we were away. He kept in contact with lots of updates and was willing to go above and beyond to care for her! No complaints!”
“I cannot give enough stars for Arianna! As it turns out we are somewhat neighbors and she came by twice to meet Kooper and get instructions for housesitting. She communicated daily and sent pictures and kept me informed on how things were going. When we came home, the house was clean, and flowers on the table and our little guy was happy as could be. We will highly recommend Arianna for any type of house sitting or animal sitting. She’s the best!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all of my life. I received my first dog for my 7th birthday present and have always had a pet ever since. I have recently finished my contract with the United States Army. I currently have the time and experience to properly care for any pet. I’m willing to work with their daily routine. I have a fence in yard for my own two dogs. I do not offer boarding at my residence due to my current lease agreement.
About: Trained with large dogs and no problems with little ones. I’ve cared for cats, birds, reptiles and more. I love taking walks and playing fetch. I also know how to give medications and care for elderly dogs as well. I love animals, especially dogs and appreciate being able to help them. I’m available daily for walks, feeding or check in’s every day of the week. I have a decently sized yard that is totally fenced in, even for little dogs. I have an attached garage as well as numerous baby gates. I have my own vehicle and I’m skilled at caring for others homes as well.
“Can’t rave enough about McKenzie! She is punctual, professional, loving and communicative. Potato loves her and we trust that Po is in good hands with her. Thank you so much!”
About: I started sitting through my partner on here with her for the last 2 years. I have finally moved onto making my own profile here. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actually get to know them. Every animal has its own personality, routines, and little quirks, and I take the time to understand that so they feel comfortable and safe, not just supervised. With my background in healthcare, I’m naturally attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels .. things a lot of people might miss. That means your pet isn’t just cared for, they’re genuinely looked after. I also keep communication solid. You’ll get real updates, photos, and check-ins so you’re never wondering how things are going unless you choose not to have that. No guessing, no stress. I currently work part-time, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet attention. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 or also before 10am , and I can adjust when needed to fit your pet’s routine I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and stress-free, whether they’re in my home or theirs. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions. I pay attention to behavior and make sure they’re always supervised, relaxed, and well cared for.

Jessica was wonderful. My dogs were well cared for and my house was well kept. I have one dog that takes a while to warm up to people and just in the matter of one night she already had him cuddling up to her like he does to us. So grateful! We will definitely be booking her in the future!
Amazing dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Waffles, while we were away and gave him the extra attention and care he needs. Waffles has IVDD, so he requires a little more help than most dogs, and she handled everything so well! We really appreciated the updates and all the extra care she gave him. She followed all of his care instructions, and made sure he was comfortable and happy! Highly recommend 😊
We had not tried a house/dog sitter before, and were very lucky to have met Malcolm. Our dog Molly is a little bit rambunctious, and she took to Malcolm immediately. He kept her on her food and exercise routine and sent pictures of her activities to us while we were gone. I felt like the communication was fantastic, Molly was well cared for, and my home was in better condition than when we left. What more could you ask for?
Audrey is so amazing with our boy Puggy!! She always shows up when she can and is communicative, accommodating and so respectful of our home. Shes watched him a few times now has been incredibly reliable. I can’t express how much I’ve appreciated her help keeping Puggy company when life gets busy for us. Her long time experience with animals and grooming is what made me instantly feel comfortable having her watch our boy. I would recommend her 1000x over.
Kaydence was completely reliable and took the best care of our three dogs. She gave us daily updates and provided photos so we can see how are babies are doing from afar. She was punctual and trustworthy... also great with communications. Would not hesitate to use her services again. job well done, thank you Kaydence!!
Nicole stayed overnight with our dog for 4 days/nights, and she was amazing! She sent pictures and updates everyday. She followed all of our requests and rules with our dog and our house. She was a great sitter, and we will absolutely use her again in the future! :)
Katie was absolutely amazing with our pups! She took them to the park and on walks daily to get all their energy out and they absolutely loved her! Should was also amazing with communication and sending lots of photos!! I can't wait to book with her again! 11/10 recommend!!
Shy is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to take care of your beloved family member and I always feel at ease knowing she is taking care of my dog. I would recommend her to anyone that needs dog sitting services above anyone else! She is attentive and thorough. Thank you for watching my boy for the holidays and Merry Christmas!
Jocelyn was amazing! Our dogs loved her and she sent the best photo updates. Our Maltese, Ellie, who is sometimes nervous with new people, warmed up to her quickly. Our Aussie border collie, Enzo loved being able to go on runs while we were out of town. Our dachshund, Evie, takes seizure medications daily and they’re vital for her health and we had full confidence in leaving our fur babies in Jocelyn’s care. We would love to have her care for them again in the future.
Erica was so lovely, patient, and communicative! We potentially needed a last minute sitter for the weekend, and she was so kind while we waited to confirm that we did in fact need help. Our meet and greet went wonderfully and all of our pets instantly loved her. We came home to a clean house and happy pets. We'll definitely book with her again!
