“Avery is the best! Henry warmed up to her immediately, and they had bonded nicely by the time I returned home. I will definitely be utilizing Avery’s services in the future! I highly recommend her.”
“Dwayne took care of my crew while attending to family business in another state. It was clear from the start what a great animal lover he is as my big dog immediately wanted to be besties. He got my little guys to warm up to him and sent lots of pics of them smiling. He was attentive in every way. He’s a terrific human and clearly takes great pride in his services. I would highly recommend him and will definitely be contacting Dwayne again for future needs. Do not hesitate to book with Dwayne!”
“Emma was fun, loving, and attentive. My dogs and cats were really comfortable with her. We were happy she could stay at our house and comfort our babies through a big blizzard.”
“Such an amazing sitter! Dee was extremely attentive to our dog and followed her routine to a Tee. She even went out of her way to take her to the nearby dog park to get some extra exercise! Would 100% recommend!!”
“Jamie was great and very easy to work with. She was on time and clearly got along with Zelda and was communicative throughout the booking process and during the day where she dog-sat. Zelda was in a good mood when I got home and clearly enjoyed the company.”
“Anissa was awesome! She stayed at our house and took care of our dog and 2 cats. Communication was super easy, and she sent updates with photos. She even took our pup to the obedience class, that she’s enrolled in, so she didn’t miss it! Couldn’t have asked for a easier experience for our first time booking a house sitter through Rover.”
“Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep personal experience with special-needs pets. As the proud owner of a blind dog, I understand firsthand that visually impaired pets don't just need a sitter—they need someone who can speak their language and navigate their world. I'm currently working part-time for the summer until late August. As a part-time worker, pet care fits easily into my day. I anchor the routine with a solid morning walk and feeding before my shift, which allows my pet to rest while I’m away. My afternoons and evenings are dedicated to a second feeding and exercise. On my days off, I dedicate extra time to cleaning pet areas and longer outings. Routine is so important for a pet's well-being, I am highly adaptable to unique needs. For senior pets or pets with sensory limitations—such as blindness—I take extra care to keep their environment entirely predictable. In my home, I ensure the layout remains identical so they can navigate safely, and in the client's home, I follow their exact setup. I use gentle voice and touch cues to avoid startling them, maintaining a calm, structured routine so they always feel secure and cared for.
“Abigail is amazing she took fantastic care of my bulldog and cat over our four day long getaway. Highly recommend and we will be using again when she’s available. You couldn’t ask for someone more reliable and great with communication and sending updates with pictures of your fur babies.”
“Ashley is truly amazing. We had never left our babies with anyone before and she made all of our worries disappear! She communicated how our babies were doing and sent so many pics! Our babies were loved and well cared for and we couldn’t be happier!”

Avery was great! Showed up consistently while we were away on vacation. Dependable, never had a single problem while we were gone. She took our dog on walks, took plenty of pictures to keep us updated, and even bought him some toys! Would definitely recommend Avery for anyone looking for a reliable pet watcher
Amie cared for our cat & dog & stayed at our home for over 3 weeks. She was very conscientious and sensitive to their needs. She gave them lots of love & quickly bonded with them. I got daily updates with photos that I deeply appreciated. She cared for them & our house as if they were her own. She walked my dog daily & I had no worries about them at all. I highly recommend Amie as a loving professional caregiver! She’s a gem
Dwayne wasn’t a stranger after long. I only ever left my labs with friends, family or the trainer. After moving across the country I needed to find the new family friend for my fur monsters. Dwayne asked great questions got comfortable and took amazing day and overnight care of my dogs. Super communicative and kept me updated while I was out of town. Happy to have found him for my doggy support.
This was our first time using Theresa and it was a great experience. She came and met our babies prior to using her and was thorough with her questions. We had her for a night stay at the house. She provided pictures and updates throughout the stay. She went above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely be using Theresa again!
Jess was absolutely amazing with our pit mix pup!! She sent such prompt updates and kept us in the loop our whole travel really putting our minds at ease!! Not to mention when we had a travel fiasco getting home she was willing to pop by to let our sweet girl out to potty one more time on short notice!!! 🥹🤍🫶🏻
