“Patty was great as usual! She communicates really well and always sends awesome pics. Pippin had a little limp on the first day, and she let us know right away and sent videos — thankfully he was fine, but we really appreciated how on top of it she was. He was super happy when we got home, which says a lot. Way better than boarding — so glad we booked with Patty again!”


“We can’t say enough good things about Charlotte! She watched our dog Ollie while we were out of town for a few days and we have never felt more comfortable leaving him with anyone else. Charlotte sent pictures and updates each day and was easy to communicate with. We could tell Ollie felt very comfortable with her and it made our trip that much better knowing he was well taken care of. On top of that, she took such good care of our home and left everything better than she found it. We already have her booked again for our next trip!”


“I cannot recommend Sam enough. This was our first time using Rover for pet-sitting and it was a wonderful experience. Sam stayed at our house with our 2 dogs for 11 nights. We have one older dog (11 years) and a puppy (9 months). It was comforting to know that they were in their own home, able to maintain their familiar routine, and not stressed out in a kennel, or even a doggy daycare place. Sam cared for them as if they were her own! She communicated every day and took care of the dogs and the house perfectly. I am thrilled to have her to call on the next time we need someone to look after our fur-babies!”


“Thor and sky had such a great time with Miss Brenda! It was like they didn’t even miss me! I think they miss her! She took such good care of them with their food and playtime! I am grateful for her! This was the first time I left my babies with anyone, and now I know I can go travel if Miss Brenda is able to stay with them! What a sweet lady!”


“Kim and her daughter did a great job keeping Mia safe and happy. She got to play ball, go for walks and just relax. I felt worry free knowing that Mia was in such good hands.”


“My 3 loved Rylee right away during their meet and greet. It was easy to see how much she loves animals. Rylie is conscientious, punctual, and a good communicator. I would not hesitate to rebook Rylee.”


“Patti is amazing. I felt so comfortable with Patti coming and staying at my home to watch my girls. She even sent me pictures to let me know the girls were doing well. I can't believe it but when she left, she even washed the towels and sheets and remade the bed. WOW, above and beyond for sure. I would highly recommend her for your house sitting or pet sitting needs.”


“We have booked Kiera before, and we will definitely book with her again. Not only does she take great care of our pup, she is also super respectful of our home! We couldn’t be happier with her services!”


“Reese was amazing! Couldn't have asked for a better first time Rover experience. Reese was very kind, punctual and kept me well informed with great photos and videos of my pup while I was away. First time I have left my pup with someone I did not truly know and she made it very stress free. Reese did exceptional and would highly, highly recommend her for someone needing a friendly and knowledgable dog watcher.”


“Brooke was amazing with my three girls ? they had plenty of great play time, love and attention. So thankful for great care for my fur babies ! Everyone was happy and healthy. Highly recommended.”


“No words for how amazing Karma is! Our expectations are high and she far surpassed them. We have a large rescue dog and a cat, who had just lost their older (dog) brother and been through a recent relocation, so their anxiety was high even before we left for 8 days. She was so understanding and patient with them, totally winning them both over almost immediately. I can’t recommend her highly enough. All routines were followed and we came home to a house that was just as clean as when we left it with the plants watered. We will 100% be using her again, as we finally feel like our fur babies don’t mind us being gone and in fact enjoyed their time with her. 10 out of 10 experience.”


“Katherine was incredible! This was the first time ever leaving our pup, Remy, and Katherine kept us at ease. She was thorough, responsive, and took great care of Remy. She sent pictures and updates throughout the day. 10/10 will be booking with Katherine again!”


About: I have owned animals my entire life between livestock to rodents to reptiles! I currently own four dogs, two cats, and two ferrets! My passion is animals and I have 3+ years of professional experience in dog/cat daycare+boarding facilities, pet sitting, dog training, and even tailored puppy care! I have spent my adult years building my certifications and experience to truly understand dogs to my utmost ability including but not limited to body language, medical concerns/cpr, training, and learning from yet also teaching my clients more about their babies! I work 5 days a week as a dog trainer and puppy specialist but I am always available Wednesday and Thursday! Sunday I can do drop ins or walks before 11:30am or after 6pm. Every other day of the week I can do very early walks/drop ins or later in the day, if there’s an extra day not on my availability that you may need me just let me know and i’ll do my best to make it work for you! I believe creating a calm and positive environment is the most effective and efficient approach to caring for any animal. I know with professional knowledge that I am also capable of caring for the more high energy or special needs babies! My care solely depends on the pets personal needs and comfort levels while always keeping in mind their safety and health. Along with that, I am equipped with hands on experience of behavioral issues, socialization troubles, medical emergencies, and even certified for recognizing and acting on signs of bloat.

“Jenn was an amazing house sitter for my 9 year old pitbull. She took her on walks and adventures to the park. She was also great with communication to make me feel at ease while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and will be booking her again! Thank you! :)”

I’m currently unemployed but looking at a part time job at petsmart. I am home most morning and evenings with availability to drop by in the afternoons. I have a fully fenced yard that has withstood multiple escape artists and diggers. There are six people in the house, so it’s unlikely your pet will be alone for long. We also have two dogs.

Allison was a great house and pet sitter for me. She handled everything without me having to worry about "Bear" while I was away. She communicated with me very well and I hardly knew she was here after she left. I would definitely recommend and use Allison again in the future!!

Patty was great as usual! She communicates really well and always sends awesome pics. Pippin had a little limp on the first day, and she let us know right away and sent videos — thankfully he was fine, but we really appreciated how on top of it she was.
