“Devan is the best! My cat was showing him her belly on day 1. He eased all my worries while on vacation! Forever my cat sitter! Thank you, Devan ! Thank you !!! Book him now !”


“Another great experience with Sydney! They watched and house sat for an entire week. I got regular photos and updates. Your animals will be in great hands with Sydney - Will definitely be using them again!”

“Javay was fantastic! Super communicative and was incredibly patient with my senior anxious dog. She was available last minute which was a huge life saver for us. Thank you so so much Javay, Murph misses you!”

“Kasianay did an absolutely amazing job with our girl Mable. She was very professional and made sure to get any and all information she would need while house sitting for us. She did a great job keeping us up to date which left us feeling safe and comfortable. Our dog Mable always had a big smile in all the pictures she sent. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be requesting her again!”

“Lauren did a great job babysitting our 6.5 year old dog who can be timid and nervous around new people. When our flight was delayed coming back from vacation Lauren worked with us to do an extra last minute drop in visit which put our mind at ease while we dealt with a change in travel plans. Would definitely book with Lauren again!”

“Kaylah was absolutely amazing with our dog, Shadow! From the moment we connected, she was professional, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed all of our instructions carefully and made sure Shadow’s routine stayed consistent, which was incredibly important to us. Throughout the stay, Kaylah provided updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Shadow was comfortable, happy, and receiving lots of attention and care. Knowing he was in such capable hands allowed us to fully enjoy our time away without worrying. We are so grateful for the love and attention Kaylah gave Shadow and would not hesitate to book with her again. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly great with dogs, we highly recommend Kaylah!”

“This was our second time leaving the dogs with Inaya! I appreciated her proactive communication and timeliness coming over to the house! The dogs seemed well cared for”
“Deondre was wonderful! I needed a last minute sitter as my dog recently had an injury to his back and cannot be left alone. Deondre stepped up and was able to come and sit with him the next day. He even carried my 65 pound pit mix up and down the stairs! Would definitely recommend him - especially for bigger dogs :)”
“Abbigail and Cody were so great with my animals. I’m so happy to have found them on here. My dog has quite a personality and absolutely adores them. Will be booking again because I feel confident he will be happy and safe when they are around. Really great people.”

“Dan was able to help on very short notice. My dog is older and there was not a lot required but she liked Dan and was affection with them which is not always the case.”

“Lois did a great job of taking care of my dogs and house. The house was exactly as I left it, I was sent multiple updates a day on the dogs (along with photos), and they were flexible on leaving and return time.”


About: I’m a high school teacher on summer break, a lifelong dog owner, and someone who genuinely loves being around animals. Teaching has definitely made me patient, calm, and used to paying attention to the little details, which comes in handy when caring for pets. I’m happy to help with both dogs and cats. For dogs, I can help with walks, drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and just keeping them company while you’re away. Whether your dog needs a quick walk, a longer walk, or one of those slow “we must smell every single thing on this street” walks, I’m good with that. For cats, I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, and check-ins. I also know cats can be very different from each other. Some want attention and company, and some just want a respectful visitor who handles the basics and gives them their space. I’m happy either way. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your animals. I’ll follow your instructions, communicate clearly, send updates, and treat your pets with patience, kindness, and care. I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have more daytime flexibility than I normally do during the school year. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the summer, depending on the day and location. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as I can. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep their routine as normal as possible. I pay attention to the little things: doors, gates, leashes, food, water, litter boxes, favorite spots, and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable. I know it can feel weird letting someone else into your home and trusting them with your pet, so I take that seriously. I’ll communicate clearly, send updates, make sure things are secure before I leave, and let you know if I notice anything unusual. Whether your pet needs playtime, space, a calm check-in, or a full report on what the squirrels were doing outside, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and remembered while you’re away.
About: Me and my wonderful partner Jazz have decades in the fur-tastic game! With a childhood on a farm, my daily crew included dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and cows (just to name a few!). I wear a perpetual grin, love nature walks, and I always take time to train any of our furry guests! As an at-home actor and producer, I occasionally swap my comfy couch for the thrill of a film set. We always love some furry friends to play with our corgi. Daily walks? We're on it 2-3 times a day. Backyard escapades? Always on the schedule! And come weekends, we're either hitting the trails or chasing fun at the park. Safety first, fun always! Our neighborhood is safe and walking distance to a park. And for the tinier fur-bundles, we've got a cozy crate ready for some snug time.
“Ayshah is truly one of the best sitters I’ve found on rover. I believe she goes above and beyond for both you as a pet parent AND your dog. So impressive, highly highly recommend.”


“Whitney was fantastic. Cooper is an easy dog to take of, so I knew she wouldn’t have an issue, but I wanted someone special with him while I was out of town. Whitney took fantastic care of Cooper as well as my home. She communicated daily and sent me pictures of my puppy throughout her stay here. Cooper even followed Whitney into her car when she was leaving. 🥰 I’d recommend Whitney highly and will be using her services in the future. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Rian was very professional and considerate of our dog's routine and special needs (reactive and on medication 3x/day). We hired Rian to house sit/watch our dog while we were out of town and also booked a few walks with her ahead of time. Rian was very nice and communicated with us regularly. Our dog is slow to warm up to new people and Rian was very understanding and patient with her, which we greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend Rian!”

“Sean was very communicative and left our house super clean! He took such good care of our senior dog and also checked in our chickens every day. I would definitely recommend Sean to anyone who needs someone they trust to take care of their animals and home!”

I would certainly recommend Chloe! She’s been great with my guy, a French Mastiff, who can be uneasy with new people and she’s been incredible handling him. She communicates before, during, and after all her visits. If you need help with your pup, definitely reach out to Chloe!

Julia is a gift we are so lucky to have! She's been so willing and patient with us to figure out how to watch our 14 year old cockapoo (who was a bit hesitant about having someone else at our house). We figured it out together and she was amazing with him and our home. She's so sweet, gentle with our dog, takes him for walks, sends pics, incredible at communicating, everything you could ever want and hope for from a sitter and more! Couldn't recommend her enough.

Christian was an absolute five-star pet sitter for us. Honestly, I think our pets were disappointed when we came home. From the start, he made vacation feel completely stress-free. We got regular updates, photos, and could tell immediately that Zoe, Chaco, and Folly were genuinely comfortable around him (which is saying a lot, because our pets all have very strong opinions and zero shame about expressing them). He handled the chaos perfectly: * Zoe’s neighborhood surveillance duties * Chaco’s dramatic commentary on literally everything * Folly ruling the house like a tiny dictator The house was great, the pets were happy, and we never once had that “I should probably check in again…” anxiety that usually comes with traveling. Christian is reliable, communicative, easygoing, and clearly great with animals. We’d trust him again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend — unless you need him during one of our future trips. 🙂

Anisha is the best! She is so thorough and thoughtful, ensuring both of our pets were well cared for. Our dog is not easy, especially during storms, and Anisha spent tons of time making sure he felt safe and comfortable. It was so nice to have the comfort of knowing our animals were well cared for while we were gone. We love them like children, and Anisha treated them with the same care. Our cat is sooo particular and she loved Anisha! We will definitely book again and can’t thank Anisha enough!

We had a great experience with Jesse during a recent weekend away! They were available on fairly short notice when our usual sitters weren’t, made scheduling a meet and greet super easy, and was excellent at communicating and accommodating our travel plans. We loved receiving updates on Molly and Gunner and knowing they were well cared for. We’ll definitely be adding Jesse to our roster of trusted sitters for our pups in the future!

Tevin & Kianna did an amazing job taking care of my cats while I was away. They kept me updated the entire time with tons of videos and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were safe, happy, and well cared for. You can genuinely tell they love animals and treat them like family. On top of taking incredible care of the cats, they even cleaned up the house before leaving, which was such a thoughtful touch and truly appreciated. My cats were comfortable, relaxed, and clearly enjoyed being around them. I highly recommend Tevin & Kianna to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and professional pet sitters. Will definitely be booking with them again!
Leslie was awesome, a breeze to communicate with and steppe into such a wild situation with an elderly small dog with special needs, a brand new rescue and a very vocal old hound. She knew how to handle all the various needs and meds and temperaments. We already booked her for your next vacation! And great calm energy!!

Thank you Dazia for doing such a great job caring for all of our fur babies! What can I say, you are a kind spirit and it shows in your love of animals. This was our first time leaving the babies with a sitter other the close friends but to be able to leave our dogs in such good care, really put our mind at ease. We were able to enjoy our trip. Dazia provided regular updates, texts, and photos, often. Thanks!
