“Madison is an excellent sitter! She stayed at our home for 7 days with our two very large and excitable dogs. This is the longest we have ever been away from them in the almost 9 years we’ve had them. We were very anxious as these dogs are our children. Madison was thorough and went above and beyond to make sure that us and our boys had a good experience. She did brushing, gave medication and helped them brush up on some of their training skills. The boys loved her, and her updates gave us great peace of mind. She left our house very tidy, and was considerate of our space. This was my first experience with rover, and Madison knocked it out of the park. Tucker and Toby can’t wait to have her back next time. 100/10 recommend Madison for your furry friends. ❤️”
“Nicole did a great job with Max. I received daily updates with pictures/videos. Max is a scaredy cat and Nicole, thru her patience, was able to win him over, even though it was towards the end of the cat sitting. I will use her services again.”
“Excellent! Kept me updated with pics and used my Louie 101 note that has all of his info, commands, and routine. Very professional and my dog had an amazing time! Will book again”
“Shyrelle was awesome! She was extremely attentive and showed our boys so much love! She took them for walks and played with them tons while we were away for 2 nights. I would highly reccommend her! We will definitely book her again!”
“Shyla was INCREDIBLE! I have a very demanding cat, Tiny and was extremely nervous about leaving her as I had never left her for that long. Shyla was amazing at housesitting for over two weeks, providing frequent updates and photos and was able to develop a bond with Tiny. Normally Tiny is angry when I come home from trips, but this time she seemed happy which was just an amazing thing to return to. Highly recommend Shyla, she is the best❤️”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our dog while on our holiday. You were so informative and easy to communicate with! We will definately be booking with Ashley in the future”

“Jase was amazing with my dog!! It was my first time leaving her for more than 12 hours and I felt so safe leaving my dog with him over a weekend. He took my dog on a hike and sent me pictures which I really appreciated!”
“Lily (Tiny) was awesome! Great communication, house was clean 🧼 and the pets were all relaxed. Our dog is 11.5years so to come home and find her so content meant allot. She even offered to help pack up the car when taking off for our trip, we ended up coming home earlier then expected due to poor weather conditions and the house was spotless! Highly recommended and will definitely continue to use in the future! 10 ⭐️”

“Selah and Marcus did such a great job taking care of my three dog pack for 2 whole weeks! They were attentive and loving, and managed meds and behaviors so well. I had regular texts and photos and they asked great questions regularly to ensure they were giving care the way we wanted. I’m so impressed by their thoughtfulness and love to our pets and home. So happy to have found them!”
About: I have a strong passion for animals and animal rights. As a pet parent myself I understand how worried we get about them also how much time and effort it really takes to take care of them. I am currently not working, and have college 3 days a week which allows me to give your pet the attention they need. My pets stay at home when I am pet sitting. When I have your pet I will follow the rules you have set for them, I also will keep you updated as frequent as you ask. I will make sure your baby is taken care of just the way I would want someone to take care of my pets! I love pets and I have 2 myself, a 2 year old dog, Mac he’s a Boston terrier. Also a 1 year old cat, they both get along with everyone perfectly! I am currently not working, attending school 3 days a week. I have time to take your dog on a walk, make sure they are fed, and played with. I have a fenced yard so enjoy playing fetch with my dog or going for a hike. He’s older now so his activity has decreased from before.
“Brea was a wonderful house and pet sitter! She stayed at our home and cared for our pets for two weeks. She was patient and loving with our pup who is slow to warm up to new caregivers. We would definitely have Brea back as a house/pet sitter!”
“Jessica was great. Got some lovely pics of Holly. Everything was great when I got back home. I would definitely use Jessica again. Thank you so much Jessica. Cathy and Holly.”
“Amber went above and beyond with our German Shepard. We got a daily picture and update on how everything was going. With multiple walks a day and frisbee time, best to say our Shepard was very happy. I definitely recommend Amber to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I've had dogs for the past 16 years. I lost my latest girl, an English Springer Spaniel , in 2025 and while I'm not ready for my own I truly miss walking and loving on a dog. I'm retired so my schedule is pretty open at this point. I can be available at short notice or for extended stays when needed. I'm very reliable. I am unable to care for pets in my home at this time. That may change in the future but it is not possible now.
“Great communication, overall amazing experience would recommend to others and will be booking again in the future.”
