“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my house. She communicated well and kept me informed about how well my cat was eating and really tried to interact with Bumper to “win her over.” I will definitely use her again!”

“This was my first time using Jessie to take care of fritz and Lulu so I was a little nervous but she was amazing she took care of them really well and they seemed super happy with her. The place was kept really clean and Jessie was very communicative and cleaned up all the sheets and stuff which was unexpected.She even took the dogs for walks which was great and I didn’t expect that at all. I’ve already booked again in September so I’m looking forward to it ;)”
“Chris was awesome! Our dogs took right to her and the house looked great! She was comfortable when meeting our boisterous dogs and very punctual. She also sends great pics! We will definitely continue booking with Chris!”


About: I currently have two high energy pitbulls of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling strong, active dogs and keeping them mentally and physically engaged. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with different temperaments, along with playful puppies or senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine that you have set for your dog Since I’m currently between jobs, I have a flexible, open schedule and can dedicate my full attention to your pet. I’m available 7 days a week, mornings through evenings, making me a great option for last-minute bookings or dogs that need extra company and care throughout the day. Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. My home is fenced in and safe, and I’m here all day so your dog will never be left alone for long. I follow each owner’s routines closely, send regular photo updates, and will reach out immediately if anything comes up.
“Felicia was very responsible and on time. She kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pictures of the pets so i knew they were ok. She seemed to enjoy spending time in my home and with my pets and i found her easy to work with and will definitely try to book her again when in need of pet sitting. :)”

“Iris is an exceptional house sitter and pet sitter. My “slow to trust” cat was so comfortable with Iris he did not hide from her! Our dog loves all the attention and play time he gets while Iris is with him.”

“Tina is the best! She took wonderful care of our two dogs and two cats over Memorial Day weekend. We had a last-minute cancellation, and she came for a meet-and-greet the same day we reached out and quickly confirmed the booking, which was such a relief. She was very mindful of all of our house rules and clearly cared about our pets. Both our dogs and cats loved her, and it was obvious they were happy and comfortable in her care. She also went above and beyond by helping with little things around the house, including taking out our garbage bins. We received regular updates and came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. We would absolutely book with Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”

“Anna saved my dogs life. Bronx was a senior pug, 16.5 and thank god Anna was the one watching him. He had a fainting episode while i was away and lost consciousness. Anna brought him back and took him to the ER where he was able to be treated and taken care of long enough for me to come home and get one last day with him. I owe Anna the world for being there, knowing what to do and caring so thoroughly for my little guy. She is hands down, without exaggeration, the best Dogsitter I’ve ever encountered and I’m eternally grateful for her.”
“Nicole was AMAZING! She took great care not only of the doggos but the house as well! She followed very instruction we gave and was quick to respond when we reached out! We will definitely be booking with Nicole again for our next trip!”

“Sanuthi watched my cat at my house for a week and I felt very comfortable with her there! She even walked her outside on the leash. Already booked her a second time!”

“Jisu is amazing with my senior pup! It warmed my heart to see how much they bonded. It was apparent he was so happy, and spoiled with love, cuddles and care the whole time. She also left our home in perfect order. Thank you Jisu! We look forward to the next time!”

“Georgia met us for a meet and greet, arrived early to the house sit, and provided daily updates and photos of our dog while we were away. She was very dependable and kept our dog on schedule, which is so important to us when trusting someone with our dog! Thank you Georgia!”

“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”

“Savonne is fantastic with our pets! Our dog and cats love her. She takes great care of them, taking our dog on walks and giving our cats all the cuddles they desire. We come back to a clean house, too, which is a big plus. We highly recommend her for overnight stays.”

“Joslyn did a great job caring for our dog and cat at our home! We have older pets that require a like “extra” care and she meticulously kept up on meds and routines. Joslyn communicated frequently, sent lots of photos and took great care of our house. We came home to a clean house and happy pets!!”

“Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛”

“Teresa is an incredible pet sitter by making sure my 10.6 year old Great Dane is her priority when watching her. Including giving her lots of love, walks, and following any special care instructions. While also providing me ongoing updates and photos.”

Joslyn did an excellent job caring for my two French Bulldogs while I was away. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for they were. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about my dogs as if they were her own. In addition to taking wonderful care of my pets, she also looked after my home and left everything clean and in perfect condition. I returned to two happy dogs and a well-maintained house. I highly recommend Joslyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.

We had a last-minute cancellation, and she came for a meet-and-greet the same day we reached out and quickly confirmed the booking, which was such a relief. She was very mindful of all of our house rules and clearly cared about our pets. Both our dogs and cats loved her, and it was obvious they were happy and comfortable in her care.

We would absolutely book with Tina again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Anna watched Cairo and Momo while we were out of town, and she was exactly who we needed. Cairo is very sick and partially disabled, and she went to great lengths to care for our boy, paying attention to every little detail from medication timing to his mobility needs. She kept us updated the whole trip and clearly treated both dogs like her own. Highly recommend her if you’ve got a pet with special needs.
What a great first-time Rover experience. Kayleigh was on top of everything - reliable, dependable, and courteous. She updated us regularly with texts and photos during our trip. She was kind and loving toward our pets and took our dog on regular walks. She followed the instructions we provided during our initial meet-and-greet without issue. That first meeting let us know that Kayleigh would be a great person to watch our beloved "children." We would recommend her to anyone looking for a house or pet sitter. We will certainly contact her again in the future.

Teresa did a great job taking care of our 4 legged family member. She sent pictures, wrote about his day to us, and in a couple words - she cared. She cared about our dog-child as if he was her own, which gave us peace of mind. On our return, we found that she also took very good care of our home too.

Nicole was wonderful with our two sensitive, high energy dobies. They can be slow to warm up to new people. Nicole was fantastic! She did a meet and greet with us to ensure it was a good fit. She was attentive to all our needs while we were away. We will definitely have Nicole back again to care for our pets!

Stacey stayed with Bodhi for 2 weeks while we were traveling. She was great with him - they immediately connected during the meet and greet (he can be shy with some people, but took to her right away). She sent pics and updates while we were traveling. Stacey was the perfect sitter for us and I cannot recommend her enough. Will definitely seek to use her services again.

Emily is incredible! If I could give her 10 stars, I definitely would. She met with us twice before our vacation and we immediately knew she was going to be great. She sent detailed updates and fun photos every day which really eased our minds, and our house was just as we left it when we returned. Our dog really seemed to be at ease with Emily and she got to go on walks every day which is an awesome treat! We are so glad we found Emily and will continue to work with her in the future! She is a gem!

We’ve had some amazing dog sitters in the past, but the care Magdalena provided was on an entirely different level. Our previous sitters were great, but this was a different kind of care, more loving, affectionate, nurturing, and deeply connected than anything we’ve experienced before. We had actually been avoiding vacations over the past year because of our 14-year-old senior dog. With his mix of good and tough days, we were nervous about leaving him and wanted someone we truly trusted to handle any situation, especially since he can get anxious when we’re away. We interviewed a number of sitters, but choosing Magdalena was a no brainer. From the moment she walked through the door, both dogs were instantly drawn to her, and the feeling was clearly mutual. She immediately showered them with affection, and they didn’t leave her side the entire visit. While we were away, Magdalena was an absolute dream. She kept us constantly updated with photos and thoughtful daily summaries, which gave us so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond in her care, even taking them on daily field trips to dog parks and giving them long, enriching walks. What really stood out was how quickly she understood each dog’s unique needs. She recognized that our senior dog needed more mental stimulation, while our younger dog needed more physical activity, and she balanced both perfectly. In fact, her care seemed to give our older dog a bit of renewed energy. Magdalena is also an amazing trainer. Throughout her time with our dogs, she naturally introduced helpful training techniques and tips, which made a noticeable difference. We truly couldn’t be more impressed. Magdalena treated our dogs like her own, and it showed in how happy and well cared for they were. Because of the trust we now have in her, we feel much more confident about traveling in the coming months. It is such a relief knowing we have a sitter who will meet our dogs’ needs so exceptionally well. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.
