“An incredibly thoughtful, kind, thorough, and all-around fantastic dog-sitter. We hired Anthea to care for our two pups (one a young very timid yet somehow still energetic yorkie mix rescue pup, the other a geriatric parsons Russell terrier who is dealing with some doggie dementia), and she was incredible. Met both dogs where they were were at and went above and beyond in the care for the pups and the care for our home. Gave our pups lots of attention, exercise, and love; gave us detailed updates and lots of photos on how the pups were doing; and we retuned to a home in better condition than it was when we left for the weekend! The Mary Poppins of dog-sitters!”

“Spencer was great with our kitties. We got update photos while we were away and it was great to see them so relaxed and happy. Our most shy Mika came out and interacted with Spencer right away. I appreciate the level of communication and care, and I love coming home to happy cats. Looking forward to more trips and we will be booking with Spencer again.”

“Janexis and Zach were wonderful with helping take care of my reactive and anxious pit mix, Minnie. They sent just the right amount of updates, and she looked so happy and at home with each picture! They kept me at ease the entire time. They were also flexible when I needed to extend their care, and left my place cleaner than I left for them! I will definitely use them to care for my pup in the future.”

About: I have grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs, cats and turtles all the way to horses, goats and chickens! I have had quite a few dogs throughout my life of different breeds and sizes. I regularly watch my family and friend’s pets, from a young spaniel puppy to a big senior Labrador who thinks he’s a puppy. I treat my senior friends with care and affection, wanting them to know nothing but happiness! I have also had a few puppies and understand the patience and care they require, especially when it comes to teaching them manners. I am currently unemployed so pet care will be my full time job! I am completely available everyday at all times to take care of and spend time with your furballs! I have two cats who run my home, they are leash trained and I regularly take them out to explore the backyard and play outside! They are very spoiled and I shower them with treats and toys when I can. When I watch others pets I want to know exactly how they want me to care for their pet, not wanting the animal to have to stray too far off their regular routine, especially when it comes to puppies.
“Eva was fantastic! She was able to help me out on very short notice for the Thanksgiving break. She was in constant communication with me the entire time and showed pictures of the pups hanging out with her at the house. She was house sitting as well and kept the house super clean for me to come back to. I will rebook again any time I need someone to care for my pups 👌🏼”

“Went above and beyond watching our two dogs. We had a very last minute trip planned the day before we left and Kayden was very professional and quick to respond. Our two dogs were super happy and clearly very comfortable and well taken care of when we got home. We got lots of pictures and videos throughout our trip and got regular updates on how the dogs were doing. He followed all instructions and even our smaller dog who can be shy and afraid of new people became his shadow and played with him the whole time we were gone. Kayden even left our house cleaner than when he arrived. He is clearly very compassionate and caring towards animals and we will definitely hire him again for our next trip!”

“First time I've had the pleasure of using Cora to house sit overnight with my 2 dogs. I am so happy with the entire process from start to finish with her - my dogs were happy when I got home and she left the house spotless. I will definitely request Cora before anyone else if I can get so lucky! Thanks Cora Kiwi and Cooper loved their sitter❤️”


“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”

“Imani did an incredible job caring for my senior Chihuahua and two cats! Our lil elderly guy has congestive heart failure and requires life-saving medication every morning and night — missing a dose could trigger a serious episode where he can’t breathe properly. As you can imagine, I was very anxious about leaving him for the first time since his diagnosis. But Imani was everything I could’ve hoped for in a sitter — attentive, reliable, and so kind with my animals. She asked thoughtful questions during the meet & greet, kept me updated with lots of photos, and made sure everyone was safe and loved while I was away. I’ll absolutely be rebooking her for future house sitting and check-ins. Thank you so much, Imani!! 🥹❤️”


“Kaitlyn genuinely joyed taking care of my pets. They are both on medications and it's challenging to dispense them correctly. It was done perfectly. She took really cute pictures of them and kept in touch with how things were going. I am hiring her again!”

“Lyla was a fantastic dog/house sitter! We got pictures and updates each day we were gone. Our pups were treated like her own and they were genuinely loved while we were gone. There’s nothing better than leaving and not having stress because Lyla was there with them! Everything was clean, dogs were walked and Lyla was great at communicating. Hoping we get the opportunity to have her sit for our pups again!”

About: I have cared for all sorts animals my whole life, from as small as a gerbil to as large as a llama. I have previous experience working in a boarding kennel and veterinary office. I have experience working with special needs animals and administrating medications. I work full time, 6-8 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. I am almost always done with work between 1 and 2 pm at the latest. I don't have consistent days off but can be flexible with availability. For pets who need extra care throughout the day (potty breaks every 4 hours, 3+ meals, etc.), I can typically work accommodations into my schedule. I am well-versed in behavioral signs of animals and will make them feel safe and trusted while I am in their homes. My main goal is always to support your pets in whatever way they need.

About: I have always loved dogs. I grew up with a black lab (age 5-18), and when I was in high school I frequently watched dogs and cats in a pet sitting capacity. Pet sitting for neighbors and friends was my first job, and as soon as I got my drivers license, I expanded my pet sitting clientele. As an adult, my husband and I had a rescue dog (Pitt/lab mix) who was our fur baby. When we adopted her, she had separation anxiety and resource guarding issues. We worked with a trainer to help her overcome those issues, and were grateful for the wonderful years we enjoyed with her. Unfortunately, she died in early 2025. While we are not in a position to have our own dog right now, we would love to continue to snuggle and support local dogs through pet sitting. We do have a toddler at home. She loves dogs and we would never leave her unattended with any animal. While we will be careful to ensure any dogs in our care are set up for success by being separated from our toddler with baby gates, etc., we are only able to host dogs who are comfortable around small children. I am a middle school teacher, so I have full-time availability during school breaks and the summer. I am also available to drop in before and/or after my work, depending on the location. My husband, Cristopher, works from home and loves having a dog as his co-worker to be let out on demand. As dog owners, we never left our own dog home alone for more than 4-5 hours, and we will only accept a boarding booking if our schedule allows the same time commitment to your dog. We treat all dogs like they are our own. As a former pet parent, I know that I can never replace you, but I will do everything I can to make sure your dog feels comfortable and safe in my care. We have a fenced yard with no animals in our home (except for the occasional wild bunny). Our yard has plenty of space for dogs to run around and play.

“Fantastic sitter, my dogs immediately loved her and she took excellent care of them and our home. Our dogs have high needs, pill regimens, and are aggressive towards other dogs and she handled all of it so well!”

About: I grew up taking care of 3 dogs in my own household, all living to ages 11, 10, and 14 years old. I have experience in agility training and have helped my Uncle train Malinois, some who are K9 certified. I have dog and cat sat(including overnight) for neighbors, family, and friends. I have experience training basic tricks to puppies and taking care of them. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages. I’ve also taken care of bigger animals such as horses! I have free time to hangout and take care of your pet! I am able to stay overnight, check in, and am available every day of the week! I will follow your household instructions and take care of your dog or cat like it is my own, I will make sure to keep them protected and safe.
“Amy was wonderful. This was the first time I had met Amy and she was very professional. She also looks very professional in, not your average dog sitter. She asked a lot of questions which I loved. Amy is a dog lover. Amy also asks the pet parents to make contact with your local Animal Hospital. This will let them know they have permission to take your pet to your Animal Hospital if he or she needs treatment. On a sidenote, Amy was ecstatic when she saw we had a lop eared, indoor house, bunny. Amy also gave my dog all of his medication‘s correctly. I will not use Anyone else but Amy!”

Kaitlin was absolutely amazing! She was so kind and communicative, and she cared for my dog (senior dog with elder care needs) in my home for eight days and I am so grateful. I received frequent check-ins, updates, and photos while I was away, and I came home to a really clean home. She went above and beyond. I definitely recommend her for pet care and I hope to hire her again in the future.

Emma has been absolutely wonderful, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided for our fur babies! My wife and I wanted to spend some time exploring national and state parks, but it was really important to us to have someone we trusted staying at home with our pups and cat while we were away. Emma gave us exactly that peace of mind. She is incredibly attentive, sweet, loving, and nurturing with all of our animals. She took the time to engage with them, spend quality time with them, and make sure they received plenty of love and attention while also keeping them on their normal routine. We really appreciated that she followed all of our instructions and made sure everything went according to plan. Emma was also very punctual and communicative throughout her stay. We absolutely loved receiving the pictures and videos she sent us—it was so reassuring getting to see our babies happy, comfortable, and being well cared for while we were away. One of the biggest things for us was simply knowing someone responsible and caring was physically there with our animals, especially in case anything unexpected or an emergency happened. Having Emma there allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our adventures without constantly worrying about what was happening back home. You can tell Emma genuinely cares about animals, and seeing how loving she was with our pups and cat meant a lot to us. We would absolutely trust her with our babies again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you, Emma, for taking such great care of our little family! ❤️🐶🐶🐱

Anthea was wonderful. She is a fast and thorough communicator. She also took care of our home and our plants in addition to the care for our two dogs. She gives wonderful updates at the end of everyday with photos to share how our pets did for the day. We felt comforted knowing she was there with our dogs while we were away for 4 nights. We highly recommend her!

Michelle took care of our dog and our home exceptionally well while we were on a family vacation. She was quick to communicate with the arrival on the first day and the departure on the last day. And she sent picture updates while we were gone as well. I was also very impressed and grateful at the condition she left the home in after staying for a week- I swear it was even cleaner than we left it. We would be happy to book her again.

Katelyn has taken care of my 2 dogs several times. She is an amazing dog sitter and I highly recommend her! My dogs need special care because one has seizures and the other one has pain and a collapsed trachea. They have a complex medication schedule and I never have to worry that they won't receive their meds in the correct amount at the correct time. Katelyn is also very experienced with animal behavior. She is like a dog whisperer! I will be having her sit for my dogs again, and soon!

My husband and I could not recommend sierra enough. If I could give 10 stars I would! She was so kind and professional about taking care of our babies! We typically only hire friends and family to watch the dogs, but decided to take a risk and hire someone from Rover. Sierra was quick to respond as well as very communicative while we were gone. She sent some of the cutest pictures of our dogs ever❤️ We came back to an immaculate house and two very happy dogs. We will be booking her every time we need someone. Thank you Sierra!!!

We couldn't be happier with the care our pets received! They were incredibly reliable, communicative, and sent the cutest daily photo updates. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in such loving hands while we were away. Highly recommend.

She has house sit for us twice now and we are so grateful to have found someone we trust with 5 fur babies. We have two Great Danes and 3 cats with very particular personalities, and we were nervous about finding someone who would be comfortable about handling and caring for them. Skyler has done that with flying colors and we have always come home to 5 happy pets. We have another trip booked with her already and with all the stress that goes along with traveling, we have a little less knowing that our animals will be well taken care of.

Chelsea is a great caretaker for our dog. She helped us while we were away to be with family and followed all the special instructions we have for our older dog. She even asked about our plants, she is a really sweet person and will be really sweet to your pets as well!

Janesia was an excellent pet and house sitter! She was our first experience using Rover after our pet sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Janesia had great communication, was friendly and the dogs loved her. She kept in contact while we were out of town and left the house tidy when we returned. We absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter and she will be our go-to for the future.
