“I always know my fur babies are in good hands with Amanda. Their attitudes have improved greatly! She works with us with training, and lets us know if anything seems off about them when she visits. I am grateful she is in our lives!”


“PSA: BOOK E FOR ALL YOUR PET NEEDS🗣️🔊 I cannot say enough good things about E. We will use them everytime we go on vacation. E came to our place before our trip to get a vibe of the cats, learn the home, and just understand what we needed. It was so professional and made us feel so safe and comforted to leave our cats with E. Immediately, our cats loved E! Every visit, E took so many pictures, and that really helped us on our 2 week vacation. They did everything we asked them too - they tailor their care to what you need them too. E loves all pets and we could immediately feel that. They also caught a big problem! Our AC went out while we were gone, and E let us know, and fixed it by finding the circuit box to turn it back on. That gave us peace of mind and saved us $$$$ to not have to call a HVAC guy. Overall, do yourself a favor and book E!!!🥰🥰”


“Super reliable! I’m so appreciative of Traneita, & so are my pups!”


“Faith was great with our Gina. She even made sure to ask questions about care for Gina, to make sure that she would have everything she needed. It was a last-minute booking, and faith made us feel comfortable, leaving our fur baby in her care.”



“Kate went above and beyond with our two cats that we had to leave for an extended amount of time. We received multiple updates and fun photos each visit. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were safe and being well taken care of. She even updated us on weather conditions and helped prepare our home for an upcoming storm when we couldn’t return home in time. We will definitely be rebooking Kate in the future and know our two boys will be very excited to see us go!”

“Riley has been amazing! She sent pictures everyday and was even able to accommodate when my flights were canceled for another day! 10/10 recommend”


“Dani is awesome. Showed up on time, spent quality time with my dog. She sent pics and videos. I highly recommend her. And I returned to a very happy dog. Thank you Dani. You are now part of the family!”



“Natalie was great with our golden retriever puppy Cooper! She provided a lot of updates and pictures of her visit and enjoyed seeing him everyday. Would recommend Natalie to anyone!!”


“I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.”


“We love Julia! Looking forward to continuing to work with her💛”


About: New to Rover, but I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home until September, so I can take my laptop anywhere. I can be a constant presence during boarding or drop in frequently... your choice! I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!!

About: Hello and thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby! I love animals and have had them all my life. I grew up on a small farm with everything from cats and dogs to goats, chickens, and llamas. At the moment I currently have a senior cat named Jackson who’s living his best indoor/outdoor kitty life. In addition to being an animal lover, I am also a board certified general surgeon! I am comfortable with administering medication and injections if needed. Whether it be going for a walk or stop being by for some chin scratches, I’m your girl! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). I currently work full-time so unfortunately and unable to offer weekday boarding. However, I am available for drop in visits and walking services throughout the week. For clients with an enclosed yard, I am happy to go outside to help your pet stretch their legs and play. Otherwise pets will be kept on a leash at all times while on walks.

“Karen did a great job of taking care of our 17 year old cat who’s a picky eater and needs medication. It was a last min booking and she was quick to set up a meet and greet before we left town. She sent pictures and our kitty was very calm and content when we got home. Thank you so much!”


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.

“Kallie was so so so amazing! She did an amazing job communicating and sending lots of pictures, which made this super nervous pet parent’s first trip away a LOT easier! The pets warmed up to her super quickly, and she followed instructions I had left very well! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets!”


“She’s just awesome!!! She’s on time and professional. Gives great feedback on each visit giving us ease of mind. I will continue using Liz to take care of my fur babies.”


About: I grew up with three dachshunds and now have a sweet Great Pyrenees mix of my own. She is comfortable with pups big and small! I currently work from home, so I have a lot of free time during the week/weekends and would love to help out other animal parents in need! I have a fenced yard and walk my dog everyday! My neighbor also has a pup who loves to play. She loves to play fetch and eat ice cubes!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!

“Great communication and heartwarming photos. I reccomend Keishla to any and everyone.”



“This was my first time using a service, and Dixie made everything so easy. Pookie took to her right away, and it's obvious Dixie really enjoys animals. She followed care instructions perfectly, and kept in touch throughout my trip. I would definitely use her service 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!!”

Rachel D.
“Rachel is someone I describe as having the biggest heart for animals… and humans. She has never not stepped up when I’ve needed her to help care for my cat or doggo when he was still with us. She provides them with amazing care and lots of love. She has her own animals that she might be slightly obsessed with, which I think helps when caring for others - she’s going to treat them as she would like hers to be treated.”


Keishla R.

“Great communication and heartwarming photos. I reccomend Keishla to any and everyone.”

Margarida did a great job with both my cats, she took her time with them while they eased into meeting someone new. She sent detailed updates and a lot of pictures/videos. They were both in great spirits even after us being gone 5 days. Would definitely book again.

Mimi took great care of our kitty. She sent great updates daily that put our minds at ease. We would definitely recommend Mimi to care for you pet.

Faith was WONDERFUL. My pups are very wary of strangers, and this was the first time they had someone new care for them while I was out of town, and Faith was an all-star. She gave the sweetest/funniest updates about the dogs and took excellent care of them. Highly recommend!!

Great with communication, went over and beyond cleaning up some messes left behind by my fur babies, and sent tons of pictures!!

We are so incredibly lucky to have Nycole in our lives. She is quite simply the best, through thick and thin.

I cannot express how grateful I am for Hannah! She came through for me at the very last minute and completely saved the day. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time even while overseas and I could tell she genuinely cared for my cat like her own. I truly appreciate her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!

Ashley always goes above and beyond to take care of my pups. I really appreciate her detailed descriptions of the visits and all the photos!

My cats are a bit skittish and Morgan did such a great job of earning their trust. By the end, Morgan was sending me much appreciated videos of them coming up to her for cuddles!

Cristina is the best cat sitter we've ever had. She clearly loves animals, she asked thoughtful questions when meeting us and gave great updates throughout the days of her cat sitting for us. She really went above and beyond for our kitties, Fiona and Moses, and we will certainly turn to Cristina for our future cat sitting needs. If you want a sitter who is conscientious, attentive, and will give your furry family members the love they deserve, look no further!

Lanie was great! She gave extra attention to my shy cat and he really warmed up to her. She sent me pictures and updates everyday. It gave me such peace of mind to know he was being well-cared for while I was away

Jessica was able to help us with last minute pet care which was much appreciated. She did a great job, as always.

Nina did a fantastic job checking in on our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. From the very beginning, she was polite, communicative, and easy to work with. She made sure we were always in the loop with regular updates and photos, which helped us feel confident and at ease knowing our pets were being well cared for. Both our cat and dog seemed happy and comfortable in her care, and it was clear she took the time to understand their routines and personalities. Nina was also very respectful of our home—everything was just as we left it, and we truly appreciated the care she took while we were gone. Overall, Nina was responsible, trustworthy, and clearly great with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!

My dog loves Tiffany !! She’s great and explains everything to me and truly gives the best care. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and their well being.

Philana was great watching our puppy while we were at work. She provided lots of feedback on how he was doing and photos!

Gabby was wonderful with our fur babies! Always on time, dedicated to making sure our two dogs were happy and kept me in the loop so I could enjoy being away. THANK YOU!!!

Great communication leading up to and during the visit. Gabriela made my dog feel comfortable for a smooth visit.

I can't say enough about Dara being an outstanding caregiver to my shy cat Luca. She went above and beyond to save the day and make sure he was safe before, during, and even after a HURRICANE! Wonderful person and I am so lucky to find such a terrific sitter.

Theresa took the best care of my cat. She was always on time and was sure to send lots of pictures and a summary of how their day had gone. I returned home to a happy cat and a clean house! Will absolutely be booking with Theresa again!

Alyssa is absolutely awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and took all the care in the world with my dog and cat. She sent lots of pictures and my pets loved her. I will be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her services for anyone looking for great care for their pets!
