“Alexis took wonderful care of Cooper while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I returned, my apartment was just as neat and clean as I had left it, which I really appreciated. Alexis was reliable, communicative, and treated both Cooper and my home with great care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!”
“Evan was terrific - great with the dogs, good communicator, and he left the house in wonderful condition. We booked him at the last minute and would definitely book him again. Highly recommended.”
“Jorie was absolutely amazing! This was my first time using Rover for an overnight stay, and she made the entire experience so easy and comforting. We met in person for a meet-and-greet, and she was incredibly friendly and truly engaged in getting to know my pup, which meant so much to me. I left detailed instructions, and she followed everything perfectly. She also left my home exactly how she found it, which I really appreciated. Jorie kept me consistently updated with texts, photos, and messages after every walk, which gave me so much peace of mind. Leaving my puppy is always hard, and the worry is real but Jorie completely eased my anxiety. I’m so grateful for her care and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and kind. ❤️”
“Emily was great with my senior pup, Bailey! She kept me updated and sent great photos the entire time I was out of town. On top of the great care she took with both Bailey and my place, she was amazingly flexible and able to extend her stay when we had to stay out of town an extra day. Definitely recommend Emily and plan to book again with her!”
“Elizabeth was so great! We were able to meet before the house sitting and went over the specifics of my dog. She gave me daily updates and let me know he was doing well which I really appreciated!! I would definitely book again ?”
“Chloe is amazing! She took the time to get to know my girls and make the experience comfortable, safe, and fun for them. I would 1000% her to any of my dog parent friends!”
“This was my first time booking with Mairead so I was a little nervous, but she quickly put my mind at ease. She took the time to do a meet & greet and made an effort to learn my pup’s routine beforehand. She consistently kept me updated while I was away. I never had to wonder how my pup was doing because she was very proactive with communication. She also went above and beyond with his meals, knowing he doesn’t usually like to eat when I’m away and made great effort to ensure he was comfortable and eating. I also came home to my place exactly as I left it. I highly recommend Mairead to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for my neighbors and family friends throughout middle school and into high school! I have experience walking dogs and taking care of them when their people were on vacation! I am happy to send pictures or videos updates of your pup and will gladly play with them! I am excited to have wide availability to take care of animals! I am open to mornings, evenings, and would be more than happy to stay overnight! I really enjoy spending time with animals! It's important to me to get to know your pet! I would love for you to share with me how you care for your pets, so that I can care for them as well as you do! I love to cuddle, play, and engage with all dogs and cats!
“Jack was the perfect choice for taking care of our senior dog. He spent lots of time with her, taking her out for walks and administering her medication. He sent us pictures each day, and was so responsive, kind and easygoing throughout the whole process. We will definitely contact him again for a future services!”
“Samantha is amazing. She took care of my two Frenchies for 8 days in my home. She took over new training techniques for the puppy with no problem (with very little notice I might add). She took amazing care of my babes and left my apartment just as I’d left it. Love her!”
“Jasmine is fantastic. She is unfailingly kind, calm and easygoing. She leaves our dogs calm and our house spotless - both of which leave us feeling stress-free for our travel and return.”
“Claire was fantastic. From the moment we met her, she was warm, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. She took exceptional care of my anxious dog, Balu, and we were so relieved to come home to a relaxed, happy dog. Claire kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. She stayed in our home and left everything spotless. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again if she’s available.”
About: Christina is a lover and protector of all animals. Any animal she meets, she loves like her own! Growing up, she had German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Pit bulls, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Horses, Cats, Birds, Fish, and Goats. From pet sitting, long or short walks, and of course taking care of her own ShiPoo Buddy Boo, she has experience with it all! She has also administered medication to cats and dogs of all ages and sizes. Her passion is pets and will love yours too! I have an open availability with a flexible schedule. I work part time from home so I'm always available for the pets that I care for. I prefer to watch pets in their own environment since they would be more comfortable there. My dedication is to your pet, their safety and health.
“They did an amazing job with my boys, and my boys loved them so much. They were super responsive and kept me updated throughout. I will definitely book them again in the future.”
About: I’ve always been the go-to among family and friends to watch their animals when they are gone for trips or vacations or need extra help. I’m an avid walker in general, and a walk is always better with a pet! I’ve volunteered for two years at animal shelters, trained and raised a puppy, and have experience caring for pets young and old. I’m currently a writer, remote copy-editor, and substitute teacher with an incredibly flexible schedule at the moment. I can watch, walk, and care for dogs and cats pretty much 24/7 at the moment. The only thing I cannot do is host animals in my home due to my apartment’s lease. Every pet is different and every pet owner cares for their pet differently. Let me know all your animals quirks and needs and I’ll meet them happily! I’d love to walk your dog around the park or neighborhood, give them them their special treats, respect your cat’s weird boundaries and quirks, etc, etc. :)
“Nadine was great with my cats! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures. Everything was clean and kept up with. Will definitely book with her next time I need a sitter!”
“Dana did a wonderful job watching our two cats while we were out of town. He was available on short notice, which we really appreciated, and even took the time to meet with us beforehand so everyone felt comfortable. While we were away, he communicated regularly and sent pictures, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, everything was clean and well taken care of and our cats were clearly happy and comfortable. Dana was reliable, thoughtful, and easy to work with. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! Thanks Dana”

Gabriela was such a blessing to us during an unexpectedly busy week. She stayed with our dog for one day and did a fantastic job walking her and keeping her company. We have a chihuahua mix whose personality is quite spicy — Gabriela handled her with ease. 100% would book with Gabriela again.
We went out of town for 10 days and Zoe took care of our two whippets, Sammy and Bleu. We got updates and pictures each day, and know they got at least two long walks daily (they have Fi collars, so we can see their daily steps). Zoe also took great care of our home and left it cleaner than when she arrived! I could not recommend her enough!
Anastasiia is so thoughtful and takes such good care of my dog Biscuit! Biscuit was injured and she handled her meds and routine with the utmost care, and even brought her a little toy to make her feel better. I am so grateful to have Anastasiia take care of my pup!
Chauntrell is a lifesaver! Our sitter backed out the day before our trip, and he was immediately available. He sent us picture updates of our sweet Lola, followed our instructions on Lola’s care, and was very communicative! You can tell he loves animals and wants to provide the best care for our furry friends. I would book Chauntrell in a heartbeat! Thank you again, Chauntrell!
We have 2 cats, one who has always done well with sitters and I knew would be fine, and one who had never been away from us and always hides when guests come over. Maired did great with both of them! She stayed in our house while we were out of town and by the end of her stay both cats were playing, cuddling, eating just like they would if we were there. Our whole goal with getting a sitter was to disturb their routine as little as possible and she did exactly that! We received daily updates and photos while we were away and came back to a clean, well kept home. Highly recommend!
This was our second time having Melissa stay over to watch our senior cat, Princess. She requires some medications and is an extremely picky eater, so even though it's only one cat it's not a super simple sit. Princess was happy and unstressed when we got back, she sent plenty of updates and pictures, and our plants were well watered. She also leaves our place very clean. We'll be calling her next time we go out of town!
Nicole is amazing! She watched my 2 dogs in-house for an extended weekend and I felt so comfortable leaving them. They both LOVED her and she took lots of pics for me. I would super duper high recommend Nicole! She also groomed my golden retriever at my house while I was gone and that was beautiful. Best cute my golden's ever had. I can't wait to go out of town again!
She's a great care taker of your dog or in my case my Son Ghost💙💙. My son enjoys hisself. She took him to the lake and some long walks. Also, my son got his chicken nuggets and went to the bank with her. I will definitely use her again. Amiyah Ghost says he loves you and thank you. He can't wait to see you again🐶🐶🐶🐶
Nadine house sat our 7-year-old pup during a five-day trip and took great care of her! She is great and very affectionate with dogs; my sheepadoodle instantly warmed up to her during our meet and greet. She was very communicative and sent many updates and lovely photos, which really put us at ease while away. I would definitely recommend Nadine!
Sarah helped us with our dog when we were out for a few days. She confirmed the booking at short notice, came for a meet-and-greet, and was super flexible with timings and booking modifications. I am very likely to ask Sarah to house sit and walk our dog again!
Erin is amazing! While we were vacationing in Chicago she came to our hotel room to watch our 2 Wheaties. Erin was punctual, professional, friendly, and wonderful with our dogs. She even sent us pics and kept us updated on the dogs’ status. The situation was not ideal in a hotel room but Erin was completely understanding and accommodating. ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND!!!
I am so glad we found Marisa to watch our 19 year old kitty while we were away for a few days. My cat had never been watched by anyone outside the family, and with his age and medical needs I was nervous about leaving him alone. Upon arriving Marisa sent me a video of him crawling into her lap to cuddle, and I immediately felt so much better! Marisa took excellent care of my boy, made sure he got his medication on time, made sure he was well fed, and provided him with great company. I also really appreciate all the updates Marisa gave us throughout her stay, and that she checked in with us about his separation anxiety. After a long few days of travel we came home to a happy, healthy cat, and a clean apartment. Thank you again, Marisa!
