“Danielle was simply amazing. We received tons of photos and updates throughout the week. She quickly communicated when she had questions and was quick to implement any suggestions. Our girl is so shy and has some trouble on day one adjusting to new sitters- Danielle was so patient and kind with our girl and she was back to her silly, snuggly and fun self in no time! We hope to rebook in the future!”


“James is so great!! Our cat and home were well taken care of- he spent a lot of time at home, and was even happy to book during the holidays. Our cat can be pretty distrusting of new people, and he took the time to get to know her and win her over. He kept up with her routines and checked in with us at least daily.”


“Tessa stepped in at the last minute to take care of Kimi when another Rover had to cut the stay short by two days. We're very comfortable with Tessa and appreciate her willingness to help. This is the second time she has taken care of Kimi.”


“I never like leaving my dog for an extended period of time, but Mary made it not only comfortable but a pleasure to see that I can and should relax during travels and place trust in such a competent professional. I can't thank her enough for the excellent service.”


“Madelyn did a fantastic job taking care of my two dogs, two cats, and house during a recent overnight trip, and I can recommend her without reservation. It was my first time using Rover so I wasn't quite sure what to expect, but Madelyn made it super easy. She is responsible, enthusiastic, and communicative, and it's clear she loves animals. And judging from the pics she sent, the animals had a wonderful time!”


“Jordan went above and beyond as a dogsitter at our house! She was so great with communication, we did not have to worry about anything. We returned to our house even cleaner than how we left it. I would recommend Jordan to anyone, and I definitely hope she is available next time we need a sitter!!”


“This was our first time working with Jonathan as our pet/house sitter and it was a great experience. We were grateful that he was willing to stop by a second time before our trip so we could have the peace of mind that our dog would recognize him and be comfortable. He also sent us updates and pics every couple days and the house was just as clean as we left it. Couldn’t ask for more!”


About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)


“Highly recommend Star! She's worked hard to make friends with our shy pup and kept us updated on the progress during this booking. We'll definitely use her again!”


“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”


“Christian was great to work with. I was using an in-home sitter for the first time for a two week trip. They spent extra time getting my nervous dog comfortable after a rocky first night! Lots of updates each day, brought in mail, took out trash, in addition to walking, feeding and hanging out with my dog. Would definitely recommend them for future needs!”


“Always on time and ready to play! Nathan treats our active fur babies as his own! We never have to worry when Nathan is on the job! He is fine juggling 2 pups with different temperament’s/ keeping them safe and happy!”


“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”


“Mackenzie was wonderful! She was so kind and considerate of our pets needs and communicated with us often so we never worried a bit about our fur babies back home. Thank you Mackenzie!!”


“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”


“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”


“Macee did a house stay with our pups and was great. Our pups loved her. She made sure to send tons of pictures of our dogs, and was very quick communicating and responding messages.”


“Lilian was wonderful for my last minute house sitting request! She was quick to respond, sent lots of updates, and so responsible. My dog Pearl was in great hands! I would certainly book again.”

Margaret L.
“My pup loves Maggie! She walks him multiple times a week, sometimes even taking him on excursions to various walk paths around the city. I trust her to pick him up while I'm away at work and have never had any issues. She is very knowledgeable in dog behavior and is a great guide for my 10 month old puppy. She always sends me cute photo and video updates and returns him happy and sleepy—the best combo! <3”

Danielle was wonderful! Sent me regular check-in texts and photos of my pups who really took to her. My dogs have very different needs (one very old, and one very young!) and she did great with both of them. Also left my house spotless with overnight care! Thank you so much, Danielle!!

Lauren was super responsible and great at communicating. When we came home our dog was so well groomed and cared for, and the house was in perfect shape. The spaces our two cats eat, drink and use the litter box were also immaculately clean and tidy. We highly recommend Lauren!

Christian is the most wonderful sitter ever! Our senior dog decided this was the time to get super picky about food, and Christian was so patient and made sure to find something she would eat and enjoy. Christian is so loving and kind. I feel lucky to have found her!

Emily could not have done a better job! With her I knew my high energy 1 year old pup and chatty cat were in great hands. She sent me pictures / videos while we're were out of town and blurbs about their day periodically! Knowing our pets were well taken care of and in our own home meant so much to us.

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter! Kristen was absolutely amazing—so thoughtful and genuinely caring with both our dog and cat. She kept us updated with photos and sweet check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Not only did our pets clearly adore her, but she also left our home even cleaner than we left it. We are grateful to find someone so responsible, loving, and attentive. We recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely book with her again!
