“Above and beyond! Sent funny pics every day and played with him a bunch. Has a big dog at home too, so was super comfortable with my energetic boy. Thank you lots!”



“It was our first time leaving our super anxious dog. We could tell in our first meet and greet that Jenna had a great sense of recognizing and handling a nervous dog. When we came back, the house was exactly how we left it and she even did a load of the linens and towels used. If you’re looking for someone to leave your nervous Nelly with, Jenna will do a great job!”



“Cheryl was amazing!!!! She treated my girls and my house like it was her own and sent me photos of the girls enjoying their time with her. Thanks again Cheryl!”


“Justin took great care of all 4 pets with all their little quirks and needs. He was communicative and shared a lot of pics. I definitely recommend him and hope he’ll come back soon :)”


“Sadie did a fabulous job with my 3 pets. She sent photos and corresponded appropriately. I returned to a spotless house and happy pets. I highly recommend Sadie, and I now feel confident I can leave my pets at home with Sadie when I go on vacation.”


“Jared was great while housesitting and watching my cats! He is kind, responsive, and trustworthy. I came home to a clean house and happy kitties :) would definitely use him again for my next trip!”


“I can not recommend Elise enough! She watched our dogs during our wedding and even helped organize them for pictures. She was SO kind, patient, and loving with our dogs. Even with the chaos of the day, she was a ray of sunshine. She made our wedding stress-free and we can not thank her enough for that!”


“Ian did a great job administering pills to 2 cats - one who has chronic kidney disease. Our dog latched on to him immediately, too. He sent great photo updates and kept in contact with us. Def would work with him again.”

“Ryan was a rockstar sitter. It was my first time using Rover to find someone to watch our house and 3 dogs. Ryan was available on very short notice and went with the flow when we asked him to administer medication to one of our pups at the last minute. The dogs loved him from the get go and we could tell in all the pictures that Ryan sent how at ease they were with him. We will definitely be calling him in the future. Thank you so much, Ryan!”


“Andy is the BEST!! I was far away and felt so comfortable with Andy being at my home but even more importantly with my dog! Great treatment of my dog and great communication!!! I will definitely ask Andy to care for my dog again!! Thank you Andy!! I completely recommend!!”


“Dani exceeded our expectations & came in clutch for us as our previous dog walker we books months in advance cancelled the week of our wedding. We were visiting from out of town for our wedding with our fur baby and Dani was so gracious enough to help us out on her day off by ensuring our fur baby as fed, taken out,& loved on during our wedding day. We are forever grateful for Dani :)”


“Elizabeth is a fantastic pet sitter from start to finish. She replies immediately, communicates frequently during her stay at our home, respects and fulfills all our requests, leaves our home immaculate, and, most importantly, cares lovingly for our three sometimes rambunctious dogs. She is great with both seniors and youngsters. I highly recommend her. We have already rebooked!”


About: My family got our first dog when I was 9 years old. Since then, I don't think I've ever not had pets in my life. I've had dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. I come from a long line of animal lovers, and I consider my pets to be part of the family - so they live good and happy lives. I've also had family and friends rely on me many times to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I'm a teacher, so come the summer (when everyone goes on vacation), my days are wide open! During the school year, weekends are the best bet for house-sitting, but I've got more flexibility for dog walking etc. First step is building trust. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable around me, and part of that is gauging how they behave around me. If they want love and attention, I'm more than happy to give it! If they need more time and distance, that's okay too. I'm someone who wants to make sure that you AND your pet are happy, so whatever you need me to do is what I'll do. Lots of play? Can do! Frequent walks or bathroom breaks? Not a problem! Just hang out so they're not alone? Absolutely. And I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, so I'm always happy to send check-in pictures if desired.


“Natalie was awesome! She stayed in our house for five days to watch our cat and Genan Shepherd/Lab mix while we out of town and took excellent care of both animals and our home. She came to meet them first and then called again to make sure she had all the feeding, walking and house instructions straight which I really appreciated it. She spent a lot of time with them and took our dog for the many long walks he needs. She followed my instructions to a tee and left our house in great shape. Would absolutely hire Natalie again!!”

Kendall G.
“I have the great pleasure of knowing Kendall personally after meeting by chance and subsequently bonding over musical theatre, and of course, our immense love of dogs. As our friendship has blossomed, I’ve had the great pleasure of witnessing her interactions with her own fur babies, and with mine. When I was faced with rapidly changing work circumstances and multiple extended trips away from home prior to my international relocation, I asked Kendall if she would pet sit my 2 fur babies (husky and golden retriever) because I knew they would receive the same amount of (if not more) love, care and affection that I give them myself. I also know her to be trustworthy, sensible, reliable and kind, which made me feel perfectly at ease leaving them with her for extended periods. Kendall has exceptional communication skills and displays confident and competent interactions with dogs at all times. They says dogs are the best judge of character, and everywhere we go, dogs seem to swarm Kendall 🤣 I cannot rate her services highly enough and would recommend her in a heartbeat, as someone worthy of protecting your precious paws whether it be on exercise adventures or more extended, homely experiences. If I were to require dog boarding while I am overseas, I would seriously fly Kendall over to house/dog sit rather than put them in a boarding kennel - THATS how incredible she is!!”

Blakely did an awesome job caring for my two pups for the weekend! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures/updates. our dogs can get anxious when we leave town but they were very relaxed and happy when we arrived home so I know they had a great time and got lots of love and attention while we were gone! She also washed the towels and sheets before she left which was so thoughtful and above and beyond! Will definitely book with her again!

Cody went above and beyond caring for my rabbit. She sent many pictures twice a day during the drop in visits and it helped me feel at ease while being away on a 10 day trip. I sent her long instructions and she followed them perfectly. There are not many sitters I have trusted with my pets, but she genuinely cares for animals and is 100% reliable, safe, and respectful.

Cheryl is simply the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She is so loving and gentle with my dog. She is beyond trustworthy and always kept me updated on how everything was going with pictures and texts. I finally was able to stay present on a business trip knowing she was there caring for my dog! She did a wonderful job once again. I will always use her to watch my dog!

Miglė was a dream sitter! This was the first time I used Rover and I could not have been happier with the care they gave my fur babes. I never once worried! I got updates several times throughout the day and night. Miglė was so patient with my pets. I will definitely use them again.

Dani was absolutely amazing. I truly felt like she loved my babies like her own. When my older dogs heating pad broke, she offered to bring her own from home so she stayed comfortable. She cleaned the house before she left, and was incredibly communicative. I know we've found a dog sitter for life!

McCall is a wonderful Pet Sitter! She took the finest care of my pet. They were happy smiling the photos that she sent me with very nice reports of how they were. I only regret is she’s going off to vet school now. She’s going to be a great veterinarian, I can tell. Many thanks to her for the ease that I had while I was gone from my home. Everything was great when I got home.

Alex took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. She was so nice and even gave him new medication that we just got for him. Even though that wasn't in the "job description" before. She sent me a lot of pictures and updates. I am already planning on booking here again soon.

Elizabeth was fantastic as usual! Our dogs enjoyed their time with her, and I got so many wonderful pictures of their adventures together. Elizabeth is a great communicator and followed all of our instructions to a T. Our house looked great when we got home as well!
