“Kristen is an absolute professional great with the pups and an amazing communicator along with being flexible with unexpected schedule changes. Need I say more? Book her! :)”

“Sophia was flexible with my last-minute drop-in, and I appreciate the time she spent with my cat, who doesn't like to be alone. She was very friendly and made me feel comfortable letting her into my home. I would definitely hire her again!”


“Patrick was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover for our dog Lincoln and we couldn't be happier. Patrick was awesome from the "meet & greet" right through our 12 day trip overseas. He provided tremendous care for Lincoln and our home, with updates and photos throughout. We highly recommend Patrick and will definitely hire him in the future!”

“Tati was so attentive and flexible to attend our Goldendoodle at our apartment. They were friends within 5 minutes of meeting and had a great time together while we explored downtown San Diego.”

“Gavin is a repeat sitter for my 6 year old orange tabby. Once again, communications were excellent and he took good care of my cat and my house. Gavin always spends time with his charge, as Moo is a sociable creature who loves companionship. I booked time that coincided with the recent blizzard. Gavin was completely flexible with potential changes to my travel plans, which i truly appreciated. Moo and I look forward to reaching out to him for future bookings.”

“Leah took great care of our pup! We had such peace of mind while we were away. She spent lots of quality time with him at home and on walks, definitely goes above and beyond! Glad we found her!”

“Teresa is an amazing caretaker. Our dog has a heavy background and it her takes a minute to warm up to new folks. Teresa is calm, patient, and loving. We had an unexpected event to attend and we appreciated that she squeezed us in without much notice. She took time out of her day to meet Honey before we left for the weekend and we immediately felt at ease and knew Honey was in responsible, good hands. We will definitely book Teresa in the future and recommend her to friends.”

“Michael was a new sitter for us, but he will be our go-to sitter moving forward. He was prompt, reliable & very sweet with our pets. We got many photos and videos of his stay & our dog seemed very happy to have him there for walks & to play with. An unexpected bonus was not only that he left us a note so we knew where our pets were at in their day with treats & meds, but how clean he left our house (even stripped the bed & put his sheets in the washing machine)! 6/5 stars for Michael D! I HIGHLY recommend!”

“Martha has helped house sit for us multiple times and done a good job with our animals. She’s attentive to instructions and accommodating, especially as we had work being done during one of her stays. We appreciate her services!”

“Where do I begin?? Melody is the best! I haven’t trusted many people with my dog but I would 100% trust Melody to watch him again. My biggest worry was that my dog was taking 4 different medications when I was leaving him and Melody administered the complicated medications with no problem at all. He is also a very high energy dog and she cared for him with such ease. If you are looking for someone you can trust and rely on to take excellent care of your pet, then look no further. Oh and she cleaned my apartment - it was spotless and cleaner than when I left it. Such a kind gesture to come home to after a long travel day. I cannot recommend Melody enough :)”

“I had a wonderful experience with Ally! Ally stayed in my home and watched my nervous chihuahua for 11 days. She responded perfectly to my dog's needs and he clearly became comfortable with her during the stay. She updated me daily with pictures and videos and was very responsive and flexible. 10/10 for sure!”

“Julianne was super responsive and sent a number of photos of our dog! She stayed in our home and we came back to it being cleaner than we left it! Julianne is super kind and we will definitely use her again!”

“This is the first time I’ve used Rover, and it certainly will not be the last. I was so lucky to find Karen, who lives in my town, responded quickly to my first email, and came over to meet my 3-year-old chocolate lab that same afternoon. Within a few minutes, my dog was basking in Karen’s attention and letting me know that she would be happy and comfortable spending time in Karen’s care. Karen made sure my energetic dog got plenty of exercise and sent pictures every day while I was gone. I came home to a happy dog and a peaceful house. My dog and I are both hoping to have a continuing relationship with Karen.”

“Here's a review you can use: --- I can't say enough good things about Eddy and his girlfriend! They took care of my dog Sky, and I was truly impressed with their dedication and love for animals. From the moment I met them, it was clear that they genuinely care about pets. Sky came back happy and well taken care of, which is all a pet owner can ask for. They provided regular updates and were always communicative. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and compassionate pet sitters. Thank you,”

“James was amazing! He went above and beyond and his son taught us a new trick, that we have been working on with our pup! Would absolutely have James watch our pup in the future!”


About: I love dogs and they seem to love me! I do not have my own dog currently but like to think of all those I watch as my own. I love to get them (and me) out for a walk especially on a beach or nearby trail. I also have a lot of experience caring for senior dogs and can match that energy level as well! If you need references I will be happy to provide them from Wallis, Teddie, Stella, Franklin, Buna, Wally, Tater, Judy, Kaya or Koda. I work from home so would not be away from your dog for more than an hour or two. If your dog likes the car, they can join me on errands/adventures. Or we can stay close to home for walks or snuggles. I care for dogs in their own home to keep them in familiar settings and routines. Important to know if they can be let outside in yard off leash or not, feeding times, what time is typical for wake up.
About: Hi there — I’m a dedicated, experienced pet sitter with 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I truly believe there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach when it comes to our pets—every dog has their own routines, quirks, comfort levels, and needs, and I love taking the time to get to know what makes your pup feel safe, happy, and at home. Whether your dog is high-energy and playful, shy and cautious, older and in need of a slower pace, or has specific behavioral or medical needs, communication is everything. Please share any concerns, routines, triggers, fears, or special requests ahead of time—we’ll work together to make their stay as stress-free and personalized as possible. My home offers a large yard for supervised outdoor time, plenty of love, structure, and attention. I’m also a mom to two amazing kids (ages 5 and 7) who have been raised around animals and are very respectful of pet boundaries, body language, and personal space. For overnight stays, I do recommend bringing your dog’s crate if they’re crate-trained or may need a familiar, secure space for bedtime or decompression. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for—while you have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving, experienced hands. I’d love to meet your pup! 🐾 I can do overnights Wednesday Thursday and Fridays! Just reach out to me, schedule updated weekly for other services - overnights stay the same. Thanks! Your pet - your rules! I can play, snuggle, walk, feed, bathe your pet. I can crate your pet if requested. What you say goes!

Kristen is great. She housesat and took amazing care of our dog and bird. Like most pet parents our pets have idiosyncrasies (or maybe that's just us) and she was very accommodating and kept us informed on activities daily. She also was a highly conscientious house sitter leaving things better than when she arrived. We will definitely use Kristen again. Not only did we like her but our dog has a favorite new friend.

Martha was fantastic with our four legged family members. We came home to a happy cat and dog and our home well taken care of. She communicated daily, sent pictures and even brought a toy for our pup. On time and flexible when we needed to change the start time.

Sylvie was fantastic! She was a great communicator, sent photos and videos, and braved some awful New England weather to walk our dog Luna. She played with our cat Dusty, left our house spotless, and even washed her bedding, which we really appreciated. We would definitely ask her to take care of Dusty and Luna again. Highly recommend!

Stephanie is incredible! She is a dog-loving, capable person who took excellent care of both of our dogs, including one senior dog. She stayed at our house and treated our home and doggos with love and respect. She is responsive, easy to communicate with, and a quick-study when it came to learning our dogs’ schedules and needs. Definitely plan to work with her again (if our schedules align)!

Michael was absolutely wonderful with our boys this weekend. Dennis is in a delicate stage of his leg recovery and requires extra attention, and Michael was incredibly conscientious, following every instruction, giving careful supervision, and keeping us updated so we never had to worry. Both dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. We’re so grateful for his care and will gladly book with him again!

Renee was amazing with our two dogs! She kept in touch the whole time and really understood what they needed. She even took them on some extra walks, which they loved! We’d absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, caring, and reliable sitter.

Amanda took excellent care of my puppy. My pup is 4 months old - aka a busy little dog who needs to be watched. Amanda gave her heaps of attention and knew all the puppy tricks to encourage good behavior. I highly recommend her to take care of your dog. She also took great care of my house.
