“Jessie was absolutely wonderful with our 4.5-month-old puppy, Zara! She’s a very active little one, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup who was so excited and full of energy. Jessie went above and beyond—from thoughtfully adjusting Zara’s treats for safety, to making sure she had plenty of play and enrichment while we were away. She also kept a detailed journal of Zara’s daily activities, which we really appreciated—it was so reassuring to read through and see how she spent her time. She was incredibly respectful of our home, even taking the time to wash the sheets and towels before she left. It’s clear she genuinely cared about Zara’s well-being and comfort, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were traveling. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jessie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive sitter!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Justelle did a great job with the pups, they were both very happy when we got home and were sad to see her go! We have a German shepherd and a 1 year old mini Aussie, she was comfortable with both. She left the house clean and put away. We will definitely be booking Justelle again.”
“Such a great feeling knowing that my pets are cared for and when I return home everything is just as I left it. Felicia and Brendan are very good at this. I highly recommend them.”
“Our dog, Layla, took to Iris quickly and she seemed to have a great connection with her (Layla is very "stranger danger" sort of dog). Working with Iris was great and we will definitely use her services again - and soon.”
“We were lucky to find Tina! I couldn’t be happier with the pet and house sitting experience I received. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and genuine attention to detail. Peanut was clearly loved and well cared for throughout the week. Peanut was even looking for Tina around the house after we returned which shows Peanut had a great time! Communication was excellent throughout my time away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with both your home and your pets, but this was truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. I would recommend Tina without hesitation and will absolutely be using her services again in the future.”
“Anna was a fabulous dog sitter and we would not hesitate to hire her again! Excellent communication and care of our dog and our home. Our dog is an XL, energetic mix with a big personality who is dog reactive, so we did a trial walk before the sit and Anna adeptly adapted to our dog's routine. Thank you again!”
“Nicole was amazing! We went to Europe for 9 days and never worried about our pups. She sent pictures and updates daily and went above and beyond to make sure the house was clean and ready for our return. I would recommend her to everyone!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Georgia was willing to accommodate me on very short notice to house sit our puppy pug for a full day. Our dog took to her quickly. I plan on asking Georgia to house sit again soon and would recommend her.”
“I had a really positive experience with Mikayla! Mikayla was more than willing to do a meet and greet, as I have a shy chihuahua who is a bit slow to warm up at first. She was able to pet her on the first visit! Mikayla was super accommodating to my separation anxiety from my pets ? and let me know how arrival went, how the first night went, sent daily pics and updates. I’m definitely going to be working with Mikayla again on our next trip!”
“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.”
“Joslyn did an amazing job taking care of our dogs and home while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way! It was very clear the dogs were well loved and relaxed. We got plenty of updates along the way. I highly recommend Joslyn for anyone’s pet care needs. We were delighted with her level of service and will certainly request her again!”
“Savonne is our regular sitter! She goes above and beyond with tons of pictures! It really shows how much she cares about our furry pets! Highly recommended! She is 10 out of 10!”
“Toki stayed with my dog and cat for a weekend. He was kind, polite, on time, and gentle with my anxious pup. When I checked in to see how things were going, he responded right away. He sent photos at the end of the visit.”
“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!”
“This is our second time working with Grace and knowing she would be staying with Laney made our trip so easy. Laney looks so happy and relaxed in all her photos. We love that she can keep her normal routine and space while we’re away. Grace is super communicative and a great person to work with.”

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.
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!
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.
