“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”


“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”


“I have never left on vacation without feeling complete angst about leaving my dogs behind. They usually spend the entire week hiding under the bed when we hire house sitters. But with Monroe, they seemed to not even realize I was gone! When I returned it was just like I came home from work that day - they were relaxed and happy to see me then went on about their day. I can't say enough good things.”


“She was so good with my senior dog. She stayed in touch and gave me updates daily. First time I left my pet at home for a week with a caregiver. I truly felt my senior pup was in great hands. Thank you Ashley.”


“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”


“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”


“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”


About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I also have experience giving medication. I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.

“By far the best sitter we have ever had! We were in a pinch when we got scammed from another sitter, and we asked Meghan to watch our pups last minute for 9 days. She quickly accepted and came over the same day we contacted her. She was great with our home and our dogs…she sent daily updates, checked our mail, and even cleaned the house up a bit. Such a great sitter, we will always see if she is available first from now on! Thank you Meghan!!”


“Ella was excellent watching my 3 dogs. She stayed at my house while I was away. She spoiled my babies and they loved her. Highly recommend. She sent photos frequently and stayed in contact with me. When I arrived home there were fresh cut flowers and fresh eggs (She also watched chickens and ducks) i am thankful I found Ella. Thank you for doing a wonderful job.”


“This was my 1st time using Rover and having a dog sitter that comes to my house. Yolena was very great with caring for my 3 dogs. She gave me daily reports and addressed any concerns or questions I had. I plan on using her services again in the future.”


“Can’t say enough good things about Christine! Very accommodating, thoughtful and was ultra committed to my dog’s wellbeing. Even went out of her way for Del to be more comfortable, and for me to feel at ease. Easily a 10/10 sitter. Will def book again!”


“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”


“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”


“Dorothy has a very sweet and kind spirit. She is excellent with communication and she is willing to go above and beyond to make your pets feel comfortable. We truly appreciate Dorothy hanging out with our Gracie, Mitty and Indie this wekened!!”


About: I grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.

About: I'm the girl who stops you on your walk and asks to pet your dog. I love interacting with animals of all types. I enjoy nature and all things living, as well as cuddling on the couch with furbabies. I have two small, well behaved dogs that I've trained myself, and am comfortable with all breeds. We love to go on nature walks and interact with other dogs (my dogs are very social and love making new friends). I have superior attention to detail and I pride myself in doing the best I can. I have previous pet sitting experience for large dogs in a large scale home and am comfortable taking on any task. I work as an after school teacher for fourth graders, so this is my main source of employment. Let me show you what I can do!

Hunter L.
“I am so grateful to have found Hunter as a dog sitter for my pup! From the start, he made it clear that he was not only passionate about animals, but also genuinely dedicated to providing the best care. My dog, who can sometimes be a little shy with new people, immediately warmed up to Hunter, and that spoke volumes about his calm and caring demeanor. Hunter was incredibly reliable, always showing up exactly when he said he would, and never once missing a scheduled visit. During my time away, he communicated with me regularly—sending daily updates, pictures, and even videos of my dog enjoying walks and playtime. It was so reassuring to see how happy and well-cared-for my dog was in his company. What really stood out to me was Hunter's attention to detail. He took the time to learn my dog's specific needs—whether it was remembering her favorite toys, sticking to her usual routine, or making sure she got extra cuddles. It was obvious that he wasn’t just doing a job; he was genuinely passionate about making sure my dog felt safe and loved. When I returned, my dog was relaxed and happy, which is all I could have asked for. I felt completely confident that my dog had been in great hands the entire time. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and who communicates exceptionally well, Hunter is the sitter you want. I can’t thank him enough for his outstanding care and service!”


Red J.
“It's apparent right away that Red is an animal lover. Red will stop mid walk to give some love to any and all dogs, and will spark up conversation their owner, instantly making new human and furry friends. Dogs and cats alike gravitate towards Red, and feel comfortable and safe in Red's presence. Red's inherent loving nature makes her a trustworthy caregiver, combined with the fact that Red is a responsible, concerned person, with a natural knack for communicating with both dogs and other people. ”
Northern Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Casey was very accommodating to a last minute scheduling change, helped with Darci's new medication regimen, and cared for our dog while she was recovering from a knee injury. She even put the bins out for us since we would have missed the weekly pickup day. We received daily updates, pictures, and video, and the house was the same as we left it. I recommend this sitter.
