“Jorie was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover for an overnight stay, and she made the entire experience so easy and comforting. We met in person for a meet-and-greet, and she was incredibly friendly and truly engaged in getting to know my pup, which meant so much to me. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. She also left my home exactly how she found it, which I really appreciated. Jorie kept me consistently updated with texts, photos, and messages after every walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. Leaving my puppy is always hard, and the worry is real but Jorie completely eased my anxiety. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. ❤️”


“Emily was great with my senior pup, Bailey! She kept me updated and sent great photos the entire time I was out of town. On top of the great care she took with both Bailey and my place, she was amazingly flexible and able to extend her stay when we had to stay out of town an extra day. Definitely recommend Emily and plan to book again with her!”

“Chloe is amazing! She took the time to get to know my girls and make the experience comfortable, safe, and fun for them. I would 1000% her to any of my dog parent friends!”


“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”
“Faith was able to fulfill a last minute house sitting request for my girls and she did a great job caring for them! Very communicative, sent photos, gave snuggles and love, and was very respectful of our home. Will definitely book her again in the future!”

“This was my first time booking with Mairead so I was a little nervous, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She took the time to do a meet & greet and made an effort to learn my pup’s routine beforehand. She consistently kept me updated while I was away. I never had to wonder how my pup was doing because she was very proactive with communication. She also went above and beyond with his meals, knowing he doesn’t usually like to eat when I’m away and made great effort to ensure he was comfortable and eating. I also came home to my place exactly as I left it. I highly recommend Mairead to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”

“Erin is amazing! While we were vacationing in Chicago she came to our hotel room to watch our 2 Wheaties. Erin was punctual, professional, friendly, and wonderful with our dogs. She even sent us pics and kept us updated on the dogs’ status. The situation was not ideal in a hotel room but Erin was completely understanding and accommodating. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!”

“Dana did a wonderful job watching our two cats while we were out of town. He was available on short notice, which we really appreciated, and even took the time to meet with us beforehand so everyone felt comfortable. While we were away, he communicated regularly and sent pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, everything was clean and well taken care of and our cats were clearly happy and comfortable. Dana was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! Thanks Dana”

I enjoy spending my free time caring for animals and would love to make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away I care for every pet with patience, attention, and lots of love. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and keeping their space clean. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are awa
“Jessica was great with watching our 5 month old puppy. She was communicative and did a great job adapting to his behavior. Would not hesitate to work with her again!”

“Elizabeth was awesome! We have already booked her for an additional four stays! One of our pups isn't very trusting and tends to bark and lunge at new people. When Elizabeth came to meet them, she didn't even flinch. She remained calm and let Kona get adjusted which is exactly what Kona needed to feel comfortable. Elizabeth also sent us updates with photos of our pups while we were gone. We don't have kids, so our dogs are our kids and we, understandably, felt nervous leaving them with a new person. However, we felt so comfortable with Elizabeth and look forward to having her stay again in the future.”

“Gabriela is great. Sent me pictures, followed all the instructions, very punctual and responsible. I have no complaints and would definitely ask her to take care of Babushka again if I am in need of dog sitter.”

“Ann-Marie was great! She took very good care of Pepper while we were away and shared frequent updates and photos. Would definitely recommend!”

“Anni was amazing with our two dogs! She truly went above and beyond for their care—even taking a trip to the vet to pick up medication for our anxious dog. She was so patient and kind with them, I cannot think of anyone taking better care of them in our absence. Cannot recommend more!”

“Nicole came in clutch with a last minute house sitting for our two cats, one of which is sick. She did such a great job looking after them and administering oral medication. Extremely communicative, attentive to detail, and truly caring for our pets. Went above and beyond. Highly recommend and we are excited to work with Nicole again soon!”

We had such a wonderful experience with Trina! She took such great care of Winnie and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and communicative, and we loved getting updates and photos throughout the stay. It was clear that our pup was happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful for how much love and attention she gave our dog, and we would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who will treat your pet like their own! ❤️

Gabriela was such a blessing to us during an unexpectedly busy week. She stayed with our dog for one day and did a fantastic job walking her and keeping her company. We have a chihuahua mix whose personality is quite spicy — Gabriela handled her with ease. 100% would book with Gabriela again.

Zhanna is absolutely wonderful! She has been taking exceptional care of my Maine Coon, Onyx, and I’m so impressed by how patient, gentle, and attentive she is with him. Onyx is a big boy with a LOT of fur and definitely has his own opinions about literally everything, but Zhanna somehow knows exactly how to handle him. She takes her time and always pays attention to the little things. What I appreciate most is how much she genuinely seems to care about the animals she works with. That kind of personal attention is hard to find! Having someone I completely trust with Onyx means so much to me. Zhanna is professional, reliable, kind, and truly exceptional at what she does. Five stars without hesitation! ❤️🐾
Anastasiia is so thoughtful and takes such good care of my dog Biscuit! Biscuit was injured and she handled her meds and routine with the utmost care, and even brought her a little toy to make her feel better. I am so grateful to have Anastasiia take care of my pup!

Im speechless! Shan did an incredible job, she took care of my very high maintenance fur kid just as I normally do. In addition I received pictures and videos frequently through my travels and that gave me peace of mind that my baby was safe and taken care of. Shan Followed all the instructions and left the place incredibly clean, that was just a plus. Thank you Shan
