“Wednesday was an amazing sitter. They watched our 3 year old Boston mix over a holiday weekend in our home and was very professional. They sent daily updates and photos to keep us informed and at ease that our boy was having a great weekend. Would highly recommend and will rebook!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life; I grew up surrounded by them and have been caring for them since I was young. For years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats for friends and family, gaining experience with many different breeds and personalities. Because my mother was a Veterinary Technician for 15 years, I grew up learning the essentials of animal wellness and safety directly from a professional. I am dedicated to bringing that same level of care and expertise to your pets! I currently work part-time as a lifeguard, so my schedule is incredibly flexible, and I have plenty of free time to dedicate to your furry friends. Whether it's high-energy playtime with dogs or cozy snuggles with cats, I thrive on making sure pets feel happy and safe while their owners are away. When I care for your pets in your home, my priority is maintaining the high standard of care they are already used to. Because every pet is unique, I tailor my approach to meet their specific needs and your household rules.
About: I have had pets my whole life and still currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, and a Guinea pig. I have been responsible for cleaning up after them, grooming, playing, and providing their medicine when needed. I have volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have gained knowledge about different temperaments and personalities when working with the many dogs. Also in my time during high school I was one of the more reliable animal caregivers within the students. I am currently on summer break from college and I am available during most of the summer and would love to spend time with your pets while you take a nice vacation with the family! I spend lots of time with my pets at home and make sure they get the loving that they need. We cuddle, play, and even nap together. Within a clients home I would be happy to adjust and give the animal the cuddles they need or tug of war they want.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Chenelle stayed at our home and took care of our two pups, Ado and Rainier, like they were her own. From the moment she arrived, I felt total peace of mind knowing they were in loving, capable hands. She kept us updated, sent sweet photos, and even left the house spotless when we returned. Our dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. Truly the best sitter experience we’ve ever had—we’ll absolutely be booking her again!”


“Nicole was fantastic with my senior pups during her housesitting stay! Mobility issues and medications were handled with great care. Lots of cute pics were provided and my pups soaked up every minute of love and attention. Nicole has stellar communication skills and was very flexible when I had a last minute change in plans. I will definitely book her housesitting services again. I highly recommend her services!”

“A++++! Perfect house and dog sitter for a long weekend. Great communicator! We always knew how things were going while we were out of the country. Went above and beyond to get comfortable with our dog and make our dog comfortable.”

“Carol’s son stayed at our house and took great care of our dog, left the house clean, and provided frequent updates. We would work with them again and would recommend Carol and/or her family to others!”

“Matthew was great!! We have a 5 month old vizsla puppy and he came and stayed at our house. He took Mater on long walks, always sent updates, photos, and videos. Mater was so happy when we got home, but also seemed like he missed his new friend! Matthew also cleaned the sheets, made the bed and washed all the towels. He kept the house very clean! Thank you so much!”

“Rachel was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond for our dogs and cared for them like our own. I’m pretty sure Dog’s would prefer to have her over us any day of the week. Lol but in all seriousness, she did an absolutely fantastic job so if you’re looking for a Dog Sitter, I cannot recommend her enough.”

“Sam was AMAZING. We had her with our anxiety dog ver new years. And Sam helped her and just snuggled her and kept her safe during those scary fireworks. Sent so many videos and played so so much with our very active girl! Never felt worried once knew our girl was safe with Sam!”

“Margaux went above and beyond when she took care of Luna while we were out of town. I could tell by all the pictures she sent that Luna was extremely happy to have Margaux there. Then, on top of that, she made sure the house the was tidy when we got home. Margaux will be the first person we contact the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“Brittney was an amazing sitter! She was patient and understanding of Kai’s need for space at the beginning and they eventually became fast friends. She provided frequent updates and sent lots of photos! Would 100% book again and recommend her for anyone looking for a compassionate sitter!”

About: I’ve owned both cats and dogs my whole life, and more recently I’ve owned chickens as well. Starting with cats, I’ve fed and cleaned up after the ones we’ve owned, as well as taken care of the cats and kittens we fostered over the years. I’ve bottle fed them, helped give vaccines, and everything else in between when it comes to raising and taking care of them. I have also helped pet sit many of our neighbors as well as friends cats over the years. We have also owned several dogs, and I have tons of experience with walking and feeding them. We currently own 3; 2 small dogs and 1 big dog, so I have learned how to take care of many sizes of dog. Like with cats, I’ve also walked and fed my neighbors dogs many times when they’ve gone out of town. Lastly, we’ve raised more chickens than I can count in the past 7ish years, and I’ve taken care of chicks we got from breeders, as well as chicks born from our own hens and roosters. All of our chickens free range and are egg layers, so I treat them like any other pet and not like livestock. I have experience feeding them, fending off hawks and other predators, putting them to bed every night, as well as animal-proofing the coops themselves. For almost my whole life, I’ve helped feed our cats and scooped their litter just about every day. I also walk and feed each of our dogs throughout the day. Finally, I feed and put up our chickens many times throughout each week. I follow any instructions my clients may have and can cater to their pets needs. I love on and treat others pets the same way I would with my own, and have done so for neighbors, family, friends, as well as many others.

“Karen is a superstar! The dogs loved her and so did we! Karen is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to dog behaviors and personalities. It was our pleasure to have her watch Temple and Bandit over the weekend.”


“Reggi is by far THE BEST dog sitter in the world. She understood my dog’s pre-existing conditions and his anxiety as a result of his rescue. She has consistently striven to keep me up to date as often as I asked-and I would not trust my dog (aka my baby) to anyone else. I will continue to work with Reggi moving forward and I’m so glad to have met such a wonderful person who truly loves what she does as much as we love our pets!”
About: I grew up with a pair of golden retrievers and currently have two Puli and one Old English Sheepdog pup (he is big boy). I am patient, loving and affectionate towards all dogs. I will make your dog feel cared for while giving them the highest standard of care and attention. I work from home mostly and have the flexibility to spend time with dogs. Just like your pup, It's good for me to take breaks and get outside too. We will have a fence in the next few months and will have a beautiful backyard for dogs to run. We have a large home with lots of windows and light and would love to host other furry guests.

“Alekx has stayed with our puppy twice now and was amazing! Very patient with puppy energy. We also came home to a pup who had been taught a few new skills and Alekx even gave our pup many hand me down toys from her own dog, some of which are our pups new favorites! Our dog hasn’t been alone yet, and Alekx was great about staying with her and even took her out to a park.”

“Awesome caregiver to my two fur babies! So happy to have secured Jaiden to spend three days with Sophie and Penny. Her attention to their needs, time spent with them, and respect for my home are welcomed attributes from her. Enjoy reaching out to her and having her take care of your four-legged children.”

“Kaelin did a wonderful job taking care of our house and two dogs for six days while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and seemed to really enjoy her time with the dogs. I recommend her services wholeheartedly!”

New Light pet parents share their Rover experiences
I don't have the words to express how thankful we are that Richie was our pet sitter for our wedding weekend. Not only was he amazing at his regular duties, making sure our cat got the medicine he needed even when he was being difficult, and making sure our pets all got given lots of love, but when our oldest dog had a very sudden health decline Ritchie stepped up in ways well beyond the call of duty. Not only did he help communicate with us throughout the ordeal, but when we had to make the tough call to have our boy put down while we were hours away from home, Ritchie stayed with him and gave him pets until the end, and helped us FaceTime to say goodbye and be there in that moment in the only way we could. If I could give him 100 stars I would! Thank you so much Richie, I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and know how truly grateful we are for everything you did this weekend! ❤️
