“Kristy has sat for my dog and has done a drop in visit. She is very loving and handled my dog well. I have a 70# pit mix who can be a lot to handle. She left my home clean and orderly. She’s very caring and I would highly recommend her services.”


“Nathan took amazing care of my dog and two cats! He sent picture updates everyday and kept my house so clean :) my pets were in the best hands and I can’t recommend him enough! Book w Nathan 🙏🏼”

“Morgan was a great dog sitter for our 2 dogs that can be quirky at times. She is reliable, trustworthy, kind & respectful. It’s obvious that she really cares about your pets. She was very patient with our giant breed dog that was afraid to go outside for a potty break in the rain & also when our other dog decided to go hunting rabbits in our backyard & did not want to release it to come back in the house. Many pet sitters would’ve run for the hills after this experience, yet she was very patient with our dogs & took very good care of them. She also communicated with us about our pets which was wonderful. We plan to hire Morgan again & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

“Heather was so awesome taking care of our dog. She was incredibly responsive, and amenable to anything that came up! I would definitely book with her again.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful, she understood what I told her about my dog and how things are on her time! I was a bit nervous about leaving her with someone she had only met once. BUT Elizabeth did what I explained to her and all went so much better then I could imagine. She will be her sitter from her on out! She is a wonderful person!”

“Wow! Communication was exceptional by Cheyenne! She messaged us when she arrived and left, when she walked our dog, Gracie; how Gracie behaved for her; photos of our happy little girl; and when she was fed and did her business. Hire Cheyenne! You will NEVER be disappointed! What an outstanding find for us on Rover! This was our first booking, and we could not be more pleased. It is unusual to find someone like Cheyenne, these days, who does what they say the will do without fail; every single day! In our opinion. Cheyenne is a gem!”

“Vera watched our dog Norbert at our house while we were on a week and a half and was excellent. Good communication through it all and pictures we really appreciated. Highly recommend her services.”

“With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.”

“Camdyn did such a great job with our 2 dogs and 1 cat! She was super responsive and sent lots of pictures and updates. She also took great care of our home. Highly recommend her!”

“I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Jessa. We have three dogs which can be a lot, and like many pet parents I experience anxiety leaving them. But on this vacation I didn’t worry for a second! Jessa sent pictures, had great communication and my animals absolutely adored her. Amazing experience!”

“Lashyia was a fantastic and reliable pet sitter who went above and beyond in watching my 3-month old puppy. She worked on training with her and left everything clean and tidy. I absolutely recommend her and plan to use her services again when I’m next out of town.”

“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”

“Sierra was incredible with our dog! She stayed right at our house, sent updates, pictures and took such good care of him! We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur baby! We would definitely have her watch him again!”

“Taylor was super communicative and provided multiple updates a day with pictures. She took our pups on walks and gave them lots of cuddles and puzzle activities throughout her stay. The girls loved having her, and we felt extremely comfortable leaving them with her. We will definitely book with Taylor again.”

“Zach was great - girls seemed happy and tired when we got home. The house was left like we left it and he was very communicative. We had a water issue with the cold weather and he kept us in the loop and sent a video of what was happening. Will definitely rebook.”


About: I have cared for family members, family friends pets and currently work in a daycare and boarding facility while also working on my training certification I work full time but have various hours where I can be available by around that schedule. I work for a dog daycare and can be ready anytime while I'm not there. I live near a private dog park and have a sweet dog to keep company, or I can play at home with whatever is available
“Emily was great with our boys! Updated with pictures daily, she was accommodating with my schedule changes. She even washed the dogs food bowls :) Already re-booked with Emily to watch our boys while we travel out of state!”

“I have a timid chihuahua that doesn’t love new people. Jamie was great in being patient with the pup and let her approach Jamie at her own pace. Patience is certainly key with some of these timid breeds, she did great.”

Thank you Kristy for taking wonderful care of our pets and working within the restrictions that having a reactive dog demands, for understanding when I messed up the dates initially, for bringing in our deliveries, and I am sure so much more. We really appreciate all you do!

With Julia, you never have to worry about your babies for a second while you’re away. Julia stayed in our home over two nights. She arrived on time and provided just the right amount of check-ins while we were away. We would use Julia again and highly recommend her to anyone else.

I was a bit nervous about hiring someone I didn’t know from Rover, especially with our rescue Hermie, who’s terrified of new people and needs daily meds. Neysa totally changed that. She was super patient with him and earned his trust, which isn’t easy. She handled both dogs on walks (they pull a lot) and took them to the park every day. She also took really good care of our house. It was spotless, which means a lot to us. The best part: Piglet and Hermie seemed genuinely sad when we got back. We’d hire her again in a heartbeat.

Madison did a great job with our pups! They were taken on long walks/runs each day. She fed them, brushed them, took care of the meds they are on and overall did a great job! Enjoyed meeting her and look forward to having someone I can trust take care of them when needed.
Lillia B. did an absolutely fantastic job housesitting for our two older golden retrievers and our two cats! She kept up with their medications, supplied us with regular reports and pictures, and left our house immaculate. We hope she's still available when we're ready for our next trip. We recommend her without any reservation!

Sierra is amazing to work with!! She responds quickly and communicates very well. She respected my home and took care of my kitties. Sierra sent daily pictures and confirmed giving my cat the medication as required. Please do not hesitate to book your pet care with Sierra / you will not be disappointed.

Veronica was a wonderful sitter who was thorough with our meet n greet, followed directions closely including being detail oriented with medications and supplements, and even responded going above and beyond with our repeatedly delayed flights back. We couldn’t have asked for greater peace of mind with her communication, and photos- and most of all, the clear and obvious love and gentleness she had for our family. We won’t hesitate to have Veronica back again with us!
