“Ashley is a most professional and compassionate caregiver!!! My 3 pups are completely comfortable with her presence, and Ashley is the one caregiver I seek out first when I plan to travel. 5 stars, MINIMUM; more like 10👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💯”

“Jack was fantastic with our two bernedoodles! He was communicative, kept the house clean and overall was very very easy going. The boys were wiped from all the play time with Jack. So much so, that when we got home from a weekend trip and my husband and I looked at each other and decided we needed to learn Jack’s strategy for keeping them so calm and relaxed. We will definitely be calling again, highly recommend!!”

“Kathryn stayed at our home for 12 days taking care of our three chihuahuas. She was incredibly helpful, communicated well (including sending photos and videos of our dogs every day), took great, loving care of our dogs, and left our home clean and ready for us when we returned. We would definitely recommend and we will be requesting Kathryn's help next time we travel!”

“Gwen watched our Doberman puppy for 5 days while we rushed to a medical emergency for my mother. She had great communication. She walks other dogs, so we had a neighbor come in to let the puppy out (still working on training) and Gwen also communicated with the neighbor which took that extra stress off of me. I would use her again.”

“I love leaving my pup with Josie! I always feel like Roo is in the best of hands and really appreciate all the updates. She really shows my pup love and it makes me feel so much better while being away!”

“We had the pleasure of having Marvin take care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marvin is a responsible, kind, and trustworthy young man who truly cared for our pets as if they were his own. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved him! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.”

“Mackenzie is an amazing dog sitter! She was super communicative, flexible, and made sure our 3 very needy dogs got all the love they require. Highly recommend!!”

“I was fortunate to book Toni again and have her stay at my house to watch my cat Maggie. Just like last time, everything was perfect. Toni is super responsible, gave me updates with pictures throughout the day and left the house impeccable. Most importantly, Maggie likes her too!!! If you are in need for a reliable house sitter who you can trust to take care of your fur babies, Toni is the one!!”

“Nicole was an excellent dog sitter for my two pups. She arrived on time, communicated well, and provided my pups with the love and care they needed while I was away.”

“We had a last minute need for a sitter and our usual sitter was not available. I am always nervous about using a new sitter, but Jill’s profile seemed like she could be a good fit. She came for a meet and greet that day, and after meeting her in person I felt comfortable with her sitting for us. Jill spent the weekend with our dog and did a great job. She followed our instructions perfectly, making sure our dog was safe, fed, and well cared for while we were gone. We received photo updates and she was quick to respond to our texts. Our house was in perfect condition when we arrived home. She’s a trustworthy, calm, and responsible person who I don’t hesitate to recommend. We will book with Jill again!”

About: I’ve had English Springer Spaniels my entire life, so being around dogs has always been second nature to me. Growing up with energetic, affectionate dogs taught me how important exercise, attention, patience, and play are for keeping dogs happy and healthy I currently work at a marina during weekdays but work at my own schedule. I am happy to drop everything and anything I need in order to take care of your pup. I provide attentive, reliable in-home pet care to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own environment. I follow your pet’s normal routine closely including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention while treating your home and pets with the same care and respect I would my own

About: I’ve been around dogs and pets for most of my life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, providing companionship, or sticking to a pet’s normal routine, I take pride in making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pet, so I always focus on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each animal’s individual needs. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care. My schedule allows me to be available during mornings, late evenings, and overnight. I work in the afternoons and evenings, but I’m happy to work with pet owners to make sure their pets receive the care, attention, and exercise they need. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions to ensure they receive the best possible care. I believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I understand that every animal is different, and I always approach pets with patience, attentiveness, and respect for their comfort level. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or house sitting, I’ll treat your pet and home with the same care and responsibility that I would my own.

“Lisa did a great job with my two dogs on their very first time staying with a sitter overnight. They were scared and anxious, but she made them comfortable and feel safe so they were able to warm up to her! Also, you’ll get lots of pics which was very appreciated!”

“Alexis was wonderful with our dog Mowgli! Mowgli is a higher anxiety dog and Mowgli warmed up to her right away! She went above and beyond to make sure he was cared for when a big thunderstorm rolled in. She sent regular updates and photos on how he was doing. We were able to travel without stress knowing he was in great hands. She also left out house spotless!”

Old Northwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had the pleasure of having Marvin take care of our dogs while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Marvin is a responsible, kind, and trustworthy young man who truly cared for our pets as if they were his own. He kept us updated, made sure they were well cared for, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs absolutely loved him! We highly recommend Marvin to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter.

I can not believe how lucky we were to find Samantha at the last minute. She is everything one could hope for- completely reliable, great communicator, kind, and has an incredible way with our 5 mo puppy. I did not worry for one second while we were away. She already feels like part of our family.

Siddonie did an absolute AMAZING job taking care of our german shepherd, Luna! Our previous sitter cancelled the DAY OF our cruise while we were already boarding the ship so I was panicking, but Siddonie was able to drop everything and take care of our sweet girl. Luna is very shy and has a hard time eating her food right away, but Siddonie made her comfortable enough to get her to eat and I am so thankful. I would definitely rebook Siddonie in the future!!

Andres did an awesome job taking care of Stewie and my senior dog PJ who needs extra care. He played with Stewie and gave PJ all his medications as directed. He sent me regular pictures and updates while I was away which I appreciated so much. When I returned home, everything was clean and orderly. I will definitely be using him again. Thank you Andres!

Alejandra was great with our Yorkie, Cherry. She was very friendly, communicative, and made the whole process easy for us. Cherry seemed comfortable right away and everything went smoothly from drop-off to pickup. It gave us peace of mind knowing Cherry was in good hands. We would definitely trust Alejandra with Cherry again and highly recommend her.

Somyr was absolutely wonderful with Kingston. From the very beginning, she kept us informed and at ease, sending sweet updates and pictures that truly meant a lot to us. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with our love bug and treated him with so much care and attention. Knowing he was happy, comfortable, and loved made all the difference. If you're looking for a loving pet sitter. I highly recommend Somyr to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate. When she left, Kingston was looking for her. My husband had to take him out front to show him that she was gone.

Ashley was great! She sent pics each day we were gone. Followed all instructions and the boys loved her just as much! When she came to do the 'meet and greet' she brought a little sack of treats and they boys just followed her around! Her communication was great and the house looked just as it did when we left! We already have her booked for another weekend!! :)

Hannah went above and beyond for us as a sitter taking care of our dog Bella. We had travel disruptions and she went out of her way to help let her out additional times and to make sure she was okay. She is kind, dependable, and honest. We could have not asked for anything more!
