“I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups. It was so nice traveling and knowing she was taking care of our dogs and our home! Definitely will be reaching out again!”
“Allen did a fantastic job taking care of Toby and housesitting while we were traveling. He was so gentle and caring with our pup. He was a conscientious and thoughtful house-sitter too, making sure to leave everything clean and tidy at the end. Great communication. Highly recommend.”
“Joanne was an absolute lifesaver while I was away for a few days. I have a little puppy, and I needed someone reliable to keep a close eye on him and provide him with comfort during my first time away. I highly recommend Joanne to anyone in need of pet care. Ollie and I adore her, and we’re eagerly looking forward to seeing her again soon. :)”
“Sydney was absolutely incredible. She watched our dog, Cody, over Thanksgiving and we felt completely at ease with her staying in our home. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely knows what she’s doing with dogs. Her dog Riley stayed with Cody and the two of them became best friends—walking together, playing together, even napping side by side. Sydney handled their introduction perfectly and brought a doggie gate to make sure they were safely separated at first. Everything she did was thoughtful and professional. Cody is a German Shepherd/Pit Bull mix and Riley is a Golden Retriever, and they got along beautifully thanks to Sydney’s calm, experienced approach. We’re so grateful for her care and will 100% use her again in the future. Highly, highly recommend Sydney!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since Ive been in high school! I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to get to know your fur babies more! Im currently working part-time, so I am pretty flexible with dates! Im also in school so only a few days out of my week are blocked off. However if you need last minute booking, feel free to ask! I care for the pet depending on the clients needs! I have cared for animals and knowledgeable on special needs such as medicine and vitamins.
“Elaine was amazing!! This was our first time using the service and her bubbly and fun personality plus her comfortability around giving our senior Pug the medicine she needs was such a relief while we were away. She is very communicative, sends great photos and was very courteous with our home. We’d book with her again when we need a sitter.”
“When I say, Haylee is amazing. I truly mean it. She was so informative and considerate of letting me know what was going on while she was cat sitting. And I love that she sent me pictures during the stay. I will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Angie for any pet sitting needs! She cared for my elderly dog, Max (medication too!) while I was abroad and I didn’t have to worry at all about Max. She was great with sending updates and photos while she was watching him and I know he enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommend!”
“They were amazing taking care of my sweet girl Luna who get nervous and barks like crazy with any new people! She was over that in a minute and had the best time while we were gone! And even the cats were happy! No small feat, would definitely use you guys again! Thank you!”
“Velvet is amazing! I rescued a pup off the streets yesterday and had an important appointment this morning. I booked Velvet late in the evening the night before, and she shifted her schedule to help me last minute and was wonderful with communication. Even more importantly, Velvet made this sweet rescue boy (again, fresh off the streets) feel calm, comfortable, and she even got him to snuggle with her! If she's this much of an dog whisperer with a fearful stray boy, I can only imagine the incredible care a beloved pet would receive. Thank you so incredibly much, Velvet! I can't tell you how much I appreciate you!”
“Jordan was wonderful with our pets. She was very responsive, attentive, and clearly caring, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our pets were in good hands, and we truly appreciated her reliability and kindness.”
“Wonderful experience with Hannah. From the start, she was communicative, keeping us updated on anything that came up and asking thoughtful questions to make sure our dogs stayed healthy and happy. It was clear Hannah genuinely cared—she made sure they got plenty of walks and exercise, and her regular updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most was how well Hannah got to know their individual personalities. Her comments and observations showed she wasn’t just watching them, she was truly connecting with them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again. Highly recommend!”
“Laura took such good care of my dog! When Laura left, my dog was whining and looking out the window for a while. She was very flexible, also feeding my hamster from time to time. If you're looking into boarding, Laura's dogs seem to be sweethearts and well-behaved, they were welcoming to my dog and got along very easily. Really appreciated all the cute photo & video updates too. Highly recommend!”
“Erik has a heart and passion for dogs. He's not just a sitter, he's committed to Odin's needs. Odin's breed can be misunderstood and be labeled as difficult by some. Erik has been wonderful at keeping odin on schedule and using the activities I suggest to drain Odin mentally and physically. EVERY time I've come home after Erik's been with Odin, he's been balanced. (Which says a lot as Odin learns to how to navigate his separation anxiety). I feel safe and confident leaving Odin with Erik. I'm sure you will too!”
“Liz was amazing with my house and especially with taking care of my little zoo. All my animals were happy and fed when I returned home. I love her attitude most of all. She is a special person who really knows animals and how to care for them.”
“Pearl is amazing! She checks in with photos frequently. Very communicative leading up to, during and after her visits. She’s thorough, clean, and asks thoughtful questions about the dogs needs. Appreciate you watching the corgis!”
“Carolyn totally took care of my special needs 15 year old honey bunny Sonny. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Sonny is a bit high maintenance with his health and Carolyn met all his needs. She was active in communicating and let me have some peace of mind while I was away for work. House and pup were great when I got back. Sonny and I thank you Carolyn and we are so greatful.”
“Lisha took great care of the pups! She was great with both of them and was attentive to each of their unique needs. I would definitely book her again. Thank you!”

Ivy took a good care of our dogs for 9 days including administering insulin shots to one of our senior dogs. All of our 3 dogs warmed up to Ivy right away because of her calm demeanor, and Abi, the young GSD, even got zoomies while we were away which tells us she was very comfortable with Ivy. Ivy is also a great communicator, flexible, and always punctual. Thank you Ivy!
Grace was absolutely amazing. As a first time rover user, she took away all the stress and worry I had leaving my boy alone for the first time. She was communicative, patient, sent daily updates and pictures, and overall was very kind and respectful of our space. We will be sure to use her again.
I would highly recommend Angie for any pet sitting needs! She cared for my elderly dog, Max (medication too!) while I was abroad and I didn’t have to worry at all about Max. She was great with sending updates and photos while she was watching him and I know he enjoyed his time with her. Highly recommend!
You won’t regret it if you hire Allen. He is outstanding! Allen easily managed our furry beast. Chloe is a Chinese slaughterhouse rescue and has some serious trust issues but Allen quickly won her over and was giving her belly rubs in no time. He also took great care of our home, leaving it better than he found it! We are so pleased with Allen and will definitely hire him again!!
I’m so happy we found Ji Hae! She’s so communicative and followed all our instructions exactly. Shes experienced with caring for large dogs which was especially helpful for our two pups.

Katie cared for my 2 dogs for a few days. It was clear from the start when we did a meet and greet that she was the best sitter. She asked lots of relevant questions and took notes. When I returned, my dogs looked happy and well taken care of. Katie kept me in the loop about everything that happen. Would def book her again.
Josephine is a great sitter. She cared for our dog and cat for a week at our home. She treated them like her own animals. Our pets love her. She is trustworthy and has great communication skills. We highly recommend Josephine and will use her services again without a doubt.
Gabby provided exceptional care for our dog. From our initial meeting, her professionalism and thoroughness were immediately apparent; she asked insightful questions that covered details we hadn't even considered. We truly appreciated the consistent updates and photos she shared throughout the stay. Upon our return, our home was in pristine condition. Furthermore, the training tips she provided have already proven effective. We are incredibly pleased and will definitely be booking her services again!
