“I have been using Rover for five years and have hired numerous dog sitters, but Mingxin is definitely the best one I have ever met. She is a very responsible person who pays attention to every detail of my requests. She provides great communication, always sends updates on my dog, and makes sure everything is in place. She walks my dog twice a day, taking her on long walks to explore. My dog was taken care of so well that I didn't have to worry about a thing while I was on vacation. I will definitely hire her again and I really appreciate her service!”
“Very fun yet sweet personality. You can tell she genuinely loves the pets she cares for! We have booked her twice now and will be looking at booking her in the future for our kitty and dog for whatever trips we want to go on next. Thank you Justelle!”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“I'm so pleased that my first experience through Rover was with Junbo. During our meet-and-greet, I was surprised by how quickly my pup felt comfortable with her. During my weekend away, Junbo kept in frequent contact with me through texts, photos, and videos. I had every confidence my pup was in good hands, and I'll definitely be contacting Junbo again for my next trip.”
“Our 2 dogs were well taken care of by Georgia. She also helped out with my 96 year old mother, making sure she got fed her lunch and dinner. We will use her again.”
“Elisa is amazing!!! Excellent communication with updates and pictures. My boy can be high energy and she got him out on a lot of little adventures. I know he had a great time and was in great hands when I was out of town. Elisa will certainly be my first call whenever I need to leave town.”
“10/10! Dmytro was stellar in care of my dogs and taking care of our home. He took the time to do an initial meet and greet with me; he was thoughtful, communicative, very easy to work with, and sent lots of pictures of my dogs while I was gone. We came home to a clean home and my dogs loved him! Will definitely have him house- and dog-sit again - very very happy with experience. Thanks Dmytro!”
“Rachel took great care of our pup while we were away for a week! She was very chill and super quick with replying any time I reached out for an update. We came home to a happy, safe doggie and very clean house and we so appreciated that after a long day of travel!”
“Liliana housesitted (it’s a word now) our brand new 7 weeks pup, she was attentive, caring and super helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter to care for our new baby. She will be on my hot dial now for dog sitting.”
“Julia did a wonderful job taking care of my cat and my house. She communicated well and kept me informed about how well my cat was eating and really tried to interact with Bumper to “win her over.” I will definitely use her again!”
About: I have been an animal lover since childhood and truly believe that pets are our 'younger brothers' who deserve nothing but respect and affection. For the past 5 years, I’ve been a dedicated dog owner myself, which taught me the nuances of daily care and intuition. Beyond my personal life, I have 3 years of professional experience as a Rover sitter under a previous account. I don’t just 'watch' dogs; I welcome them into my home as family members, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and respected every second you are away. I work a flexible hybrid schedule, splitting my time between the office and home. My typical workday starts early at 6:00 AM and ends by 2:30 PM, though I often finish a couple of hours earlier. This early schedule is perfect for pet care because it means I am home for the majority of the day. On days I work from home, we are together 24/7. On office days, the pets are only alone for a short period before I return to dedicate my afternoon to them. Our typical walking routine includes: Morning: A refreshing early walk to kickstart the day. Mid-afternoon: A long, high-energy walk right after I finish work. Evening: A medium-length stroll before bedtime to ensure everyone is relaxed and ready for sleep. On weekends, we love to go on adventures! We frequently visit local parks to enjoy the fresh air and give the dogs plenty of space to explore. Your pet will fit right into our active and attentive daily rhythm. Creating a secure and stress-free environment is my top priority. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m visiting them, I ensure they feel like a true member of the family. A Comfortable Home Environment: Choice of Sleeping: Every guest has a dedicated "safe place" to retreat to, but I believe in total comfort. Pets are more than welcome to snuggle up in bed with me if that’s where they feel most secure and happy! Personal Space: To prevent any stress during mealtimes, each pet has their own designated station for food and fresh water. Play & Mental Stimulation: I dedicate one-on-one time to every pet for interactive play and engagement. We have a huge variety of toys to keep them entertained! Treats & Care: I love spoiling my guests with tasty treats, though I am very strict about checking for allergies or specific dietary instructions from owners first. Safety & Peace of Mind: Because I have a small, cat-friendly dog of my own, my home is already set up to be a pet-safe zone. I am very attentive to body language and ensure that all interactions between animals are supervised and positive. You can expect regular photo updates and messages so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having!
“Taylor was extremely responsive and communicative while we were away on our trip. When we returned the house was left in perfect condition and Cash seemed to be in a great mood upon our return. We would definitely use Taylor again for future trips!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was kid, from smaller to larger dogs. I’ve also been around cats all my life and know the proper care and attention all animals need. I’ve given them medicine, walks and lots of love. I also used to work at a pet store and am very knowledgeable about diet and the type of environment each animal needs. The responsibilities I can do are monitoring food and water levels, cleaning cat litter and dog potties, playtime & cuddles, and just looking after the overall health of animals. I currently work from home, but I’m flexible with my hours, down below are the times I’m usually available. I’m available for drop in visits and dog walking Sunday through Saturday. Sunday to Saturday 11:00am to 9:00pm I’m available for housesitting Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I do not currently accept pets in my own home, but I’m more than willing to go to yours and give them what they need. I care about the safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet in my care. I follow their routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any special care instructions. I also would love to keep you updated with messages and photos while you’re away so you can have peace of mind.
“Crystal is amazing! My two pups are a lot handle and I don’t trust many people with them. But from the moment I met her I knew they were gonna be in great hands and she did not disappoint! Crystal sent me pictures or my babies every day I was out of town. And I came home to two happy and worn out pups! I will definitely be using her for future visits and recommending her to everyone I know!”
“wendy was thankfully able to do a last minute booking for us. her communication is excellent and her attitude is happy and professional. we recommend her and look forward to future bookings”

Justelle is magic with cats. She coaxed our extremely shy cat out of hiding so she could give him his inhaler. I wasn’t even sure it would be possible for a cat sitter to get that done with him! She’s a an animal lover and we love having her take care of our babies.
Joslyn did an excellent job caring for my two French Bulldogs while I was away. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me great peace of mind and let me see how happy and well cared for they were. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about my dogs as if they were her own. In addition to taking wonderful care of my pets, she also looked after my home and left everything clean and in perfect condition. I returned to two happy dogs and a well-maintained house. I highly recommend Joslyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter.
Maria was the best! We had never left our pup home alone for an overnight stay, so we were very nervous. When we first met up with Maria, she was very good at asking all the right questions. She noted our instructions and followed them to a "T". While we were gone, she sent us lots of pictures and videos. We could tell that our dog was happy and well cared for. We would definitely book her again!
Yulia was fantastic!!! She stayed with my cat, Bo for 1 week while we were on vacation and she provided excellent care!! She sent photos multiple times per day, which I really appreciated and made me feel so at ease knowing Bo was in great hands! She was also flexible and happily willing to extend her stay when our flight was delayed! We came home to a super clean home which was so appreciated after a super long travel day! I look forward to working with Yulia again! :)
Holy moly we found our sitter! Trish was so great. We got daily check ins with photos. Trish left our house so clean and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and for a longer trip no problem! She was so great with our dogs they are so happy!! (And we are too!)
Karen did a great job house sitting for us for a week and looking after our adolescent dog Viggo. We received lots of picture updates from daily walks in the neighborhood, and communication was easy. It gave me great peace of mind knowing Karen was here to take care of everything and I wouldn’t hesitate using her again in the future.
