“Gabrielle watched our dog in our house for four nights while we were on vacation. She was wonderful! She took great care of our beloved Rosie. We will definitely ask her to watch our Rosie again!”
“Tina came to our rescue on short notice and we couldn’t have been happier about how the stay went. She was always communicative, detailed and extremely responsible with her care for our Geoff. She is a true master and should be welcomed in any home to care for any kind of pet.”
“Kaylee is a cat whisperer! My cat is afraid of everyone but me (and now Kaylee!) She took to her immediately, following her around, asking for pats, and even slept with her! Kaylee did just as good of a job with my 12 yo Aussie, taking him for walks several times a day and showing him great care. I would highly recommend Kaylee and have already asked for her to come back to sit my pets again!”
“Nicole took amazing care of our dog and cat! She’s very communicative, easy to work with, and had no problem giving our kitty her medication. Would highly recommend for any pet needs and will definitely book her in the future!”
“Carolyn is great! She clearly loves dogs and cats. We felt 100% comfortable leaving our dog and cat with her and having her in our home. She did a great job. Would highly recommend!”
About: I worked at Petco while in college. I have been around animals my whole life. I have experience other cat and dog sitting. I currently have two cats of my own and love them dearly. I will treat and care for your pets just like my Own! I am also a teacher and am very responsible and respectful of your home. I am currently on summer break so I have a lot of time for you and your pets! During the school year I am available nights, weekends, and holiday breaks. I prefer to be at your home, as I am currently living with my parents and my two cats. I want to respect their space. I am very clean, organized, and respectful of others spaces.
“Krissy is an outstanding pet sitter. She took such good care of our Westie and sent updates and photos to us. Our house was well taken care of which made it so easy to come home from being away. We already have Krissy booked for another job. She’s great!”
“Erica was great! Our girl went in to heat the day before we were supposed to leave. Erica not only took on the challenge confidently but calmed our nerves with consistent updates of the extra care she provided.”
“Susan was great with my dog and cat. I have a special needs boxer who requires daily medication and a cat that is very skiddish. Susan did a great job taking care of both pets and making sure they were comfortable. She also provided daily updates with pictures. I felt very comfortable having Susan care for my pets.”
“Amy was absolutely amazing with our 90 lb bulldog, Beast! From the moment we met her, we knew he was in great hands. She was attentive, caring, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy. We loved the updates and pictures she sent, and it was clear that Beast adored her. It’s not easy finding someone who can handle a big, strong pup, but Amy did it effortlessly. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities for over 20 years. Growing up in a family that adored animals, I naturally became the go-to pet sitter for friends, neighbors, and relatives. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with special needs. Whether it’s going for long walks, administering medications, providing baths, or simply offering love and attention, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My calm demeanor and attentiveness help pets feel safe and happy while you’re away. I’m available for pet care every day except Wednesdays, with flexible hours throughout the day. Whether your pet needs morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I can adjust to your schedule and provide loving, attentive care when you need it most. Your pet will enjoy a calm, quiet, and clean environment with no other animals or small children in the home. I’m fully focused on giving your pet personalized care and attention. Whether your pet is shy, senior, or simply enjoys peaceful surroundings, my home offers a safe and stress-free space where they can feel completely comfortable.
“Yssis, was wonderful with our 10 month old puppy, Dakota. She house sat for us for a week, while we were at a destination wedding. Yssis texted us regularly with tons of photos and kept Dakota entertained and safe while we were away. She cleaned up after herself and even brought in our mail. We came home to a happy puppy and would definitely hire her again.”
About: All the best memories of my childhood include pets; furry companions have always been a part of my life up to this day. As a pet owner, I understand the value they hold in our hearts, and I consider them a part of the family. I have also rescued stray animals and collaborated with foundations to organize sterilization campaigns and food donations. Currently, I work full-time from Monday to Friday, but I finish early, so that days I am available from 3 pm onwards, and on weekends, I can dedicate myself to taking care of your pet from 10 am. I can provide care for one cat at my apartment. I already have a playful and friendly young cat there, so they can have a great time together. However, I'm unable to accommodate dogs in my apartment. If you have more than one cat or dogs, I'm more than happy to come to your home to take care of them.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 16 and have always grown up with animals. Over the years, my home has had four dogs and two cats - now we have two sweet dogs (one large, one small) and one loving, shy cat. I’ve helped care for pets of all sizes and temperaments. Friends, neighbors, family, and coworkers have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and look after their pets when needed. Our home has a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood, making it a safe and welcoming space for your furry friend. I work part-time and attend college full-time, so I am used to managing a busy schedule while still making time for pets. During the Autumn term (September-December), I am in classes Mondays and Wednesdays but available in the evenings. I am also available most weekends and other weekdays. I live with my father, who also helps care for the animals when needed, so your pet will never be without attention. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who love having playmates around. I also have a sweet cat, and we make sure everyone gets along or has their own space. I live with my father who is equally experienced and happy to help care for your pet. We can crate your dog if needed and always prioritize your pets safety, comfort, and happiness.
About: Ive worked at petsmart as a professional dog bather and ive worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have also owned dogs since I was very young. I feed my pets in the morning around 8am and then in the evening at 4pm before I head off to work. I also brush my one dog who sheds insane amounts weekly. I clip my cats nails once every two weeks. I also take my dogs in to bathe them at my work. I have two very loving dogs who love to be in the fenced in backyard I have. My cat toast has a small tent she feels secure in because being outside makes her anxious and yet, she’s always asking to go out.

Tina is the definition and f above and beyond! Our new baby boy came a bit earlier than expected and Tina made sure our doggos were safe and happy while we were at the hospital. Out bark crew adored her, and she even helped us introduce the new baby to them. 10/10!
Yssis took great care of our 2.5 y/o Border Collie mix in our home while we went away. I was nervous at first because we would be completely out of contact (camping with no cell signal) for 10 days and Pando has separation anxiety, but Yssis was patient and professional with him and quickly earned all of our trust. She's personable and knowledgeable and sent lots of updates. Will absolutely call on Yssis again!
We had recently moved from out of state when we first found Liz on Rover a little over a year ago. We had a couple of unsettling experiences with sitters we used on the app prior to moving here so we were a bit nervous but we knew we found a great person in Liz after meeting her and having our initial booking with her. We’ve since used Liz for drop ins, walks and overnights on multiple occasions and I feel so at ease leaving home when I know Liz will be there with our pup. Liz is an AWESOME communicator!! She sends so many photo updates throughout the day, gives me recaps of walks and how he did, which is so reassuring. She’s incredibly communicative about her schedule, and always goes the extra mile to make sure she can stay the full time with our pup. If she can’t - she’ll tell you so we can adjust time - which I appreciate because other sitters we have used just showed up late or didn't stay the full time. She really cares about integrity and being there with your pup the full time of what you’re paying for. Her honesty is refreshing! Most importantly, our dog LOVES Liz! He is soooo excited when she comes over - I’m pretty sure she’s just about his favorite person outside of my husband and I. When we left for our last trip, she happened to get there right before we left and he was so happy when she walked in the door, that he didn’t even realize (nor care) that we were leaving. He’s of course happy when we come home, but I find him going in the guest room wondering where she went after she leaves. I love knowing that our dog feels so comfortable with her which makes me much more at peace when we are away (I literally feel like I can actually enjoy a vacation and not have to think twice about checking in at home). Overall I would highly recommend booking with Liz! We’ve had a 10/10 experience and I trust her to keep our pup happy, loved, and safe 🙂
Genesis was very thorough in her preparation and took careful care of our 8 year old greyhound mix. She navigated a few scheduling quirks and Grace having an upset tummy for a few days eadily. She was attentive, and sent us lots of photos so we could see how Grace was enjoying her visit. We'll definitely want to schedule Genesis again!
The first time I met with Julia, Kaya went to her . She is very friendly and outgoing. She asked a lot of questions about Kaya. She took Kaya for an overnight just so she could get a feel for how kaya and her dog would interact. Julia picked up Kaya and her equipment on the day specified. I received pictures while we're away. Kaya was at our house upon our return home. She had even been bathed. What a treat to know Kaya and our cat were well taken care of.
Sawyer was great, very responsive and took great care of our pups. We appreciated all the pictures and updates. Sawyer was very understanding of our pups and put a lot of effort into making them comfortable and making sure they got plenty of attention and exercise. Highly recommend and would love to have Sawyer stay with our pups again!
Cori is the person I can’t thank enough. My chow chow is totally introvert and she definitely avoid other people. Just after couple of days she accepted Cori like they have been friends. Cori is very patient and very friendly with my Coco. I am so happy I found a dog sitter like Cori. No regrets and 1000% recommendations! ❤️
