We had a lot going on, but she provided updates to ease our minds to know our boys were being cared for. When we got home, our house was cleaner than we left it. She is so great, and we would recommend her to anyone!”

About: Loving, Experienced Pet Sitter with 15+ Years of Trusted Care — In Your Home! Hi there! I’m Meg, the Cozy Companion Pet Sitter, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years—what started as helping out friends and family quickly turned into something I truly love. Now, I’m excited to expand my services here on Rover! I work from home full-time, which means I can offer a high level of care and attention throughout the day. Whether your dog(s) or cat(s) needs a companion while you’re away or a consistent routine to feel secure, I’m here to help. I’m available for in-home sitting so your pets can stay in the comfort of their own environment. I welcome pets of all breeds, ages, and medical backgrounds—including seniors and those requiring medication or special care. From energetic pups to laid-back seniors, I’ll tailor my care to match your pet’s personality and needs. Here’s what you can expect when your pet is in my care: • Lots of love, playtime, and snuggles • A structured daily routine with potty breaks, feeding, and exercise • Regular photo and text updates to keep you in the loop • Patience and understanding for nervous or special-needs pets • Last-minute and holiday availability when you need a backup plan I’m also happy to discuss additional requests like transportation to vet or grooming appointments or extended stays for vacations or work travel. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Let’s chat to see if I’m the right fit for you and your fur family. I’d love to meet you and your pets! I work from home full-time, which gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care and attention throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules and give pets the comfort and companionship they need while you’re away. For the comfort and safety of your pets, I offer pet sitting exclusively within your home. I’m happy to care for pets in any type of home—fenced or not, apartment or house—as long as I have clear instructions on your pet’s routine and environment. Whether it’s leash protocols, feeding schedules, or special quirks, I’ll follow your guidelines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

“We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!”

“Kendra is great! She took great care of my young puppy while I was out of town. On time, good communication about how everything was going, fun photos and video. It was relatively last minute, and she was still able to make it work.”

Donny P.

“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”

About: I grew up always having cats and being a total cat lady, however after bringing home my first dog ever I realized how much I absolutely love and adore dogs! I have experience with having a dog of my own (sadly he went on to the rainbow bridge), plus caring for my sisters dog who I jokingly say is my part time dog. I also have experience with all the dogs I’ve gotten to meet through Rover. I would love to have a dog of my own again but I don’t have the proper time or space to have one right now, so I’m looking to get my fix by spending time with your dog! I’m currently available any time of day on weekends and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies since I work until 4pm during the week. Im very attentive to your pets needs and making sure they are comfortable this includes lots of outdoor time with nice walks, and giving them lots of love and attention(not to mention treats!). :) I work until 4pm during the week, and I’m off on weekends. So I’m available anytime on weekends, and anytime after 4:15pm during the week to care for your fur babies! I live in an apartment with 2 cats so any pets that stay with me need to be familiar and friendly with cats. I do have a spare bedroom that I can use for separation purposes however prefer to be familiar and good around cats if I will be watching in my home. If house sitting I will be available to stay after work and will send lots of pictures and updates along the way.

“Jessica was wonderful with our dogs and the overnights she did for us while we were out of town. She kept us notified of how things were going! Thank you Jessica!!!”

Angela H.

“We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.”

“Lisa did a great job keeping in touch and sending pictures. Our house was clean and the dogs were in good order when we got home. We were very happy with the experience. Thank you Lisa!”

“Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.”

“Katlin was so considerate with us and our two doggies. She house sat for us while we were out of town. We've got a puppy, Peach and a 5 year old, Zelda. Peach is definitely a handful and Zelda requires meds daily. Katlin did a fantastic job of handling everything they threw at her. Peach ended up having stomach problems and Katlin took care of everything beautifully. We came home and the house was absolutely spotless and I know our dogs can make quite the mess. To top it all off, our construction contractor decided last minute that they were going to start on the exterior of our house and Katlin was extremely accommodating even though there was a dump trailer in the driveway and I'm sure lots of noise the last few days of her stay. I would definitely recommend Katlin to anyone, your doggies will without a doubt be well taken care of and your house will look like nobody had been there.”

“Rachel provided care for our two dogs in our home for 3 days and 2 nights. She went above and beyond to befriend and bond with our shy pups. Rachel was a considerate and responsible houseguest as well. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her the next time we need a sitter for our dogs. -Nancy V”

“Austyn has so far proven to be reliable on the first visit of house sitting! He stayed with my sweet girl the entire weekend I had to be away at work! He was kind and respectful to my home! He agreed to be my go to sitter and so I’ll leave more reviews as things progress. High-key, I feel that he’s a great fit for me and my doggo and really glad he will be our reoccurring sitter when he’s available! Im a poor college age kid too, but when I able to afford tipping him more, I feel he’s worth it! I feel at peace with him and didn’t feel the need to check in multiple times a day like with other sitters. He holds to his word and commitment to care for your doggo! :)”
