“Absolutely PERFECT. Sent pictures and updated when I asked with timely responses. Played and talked to my pups like I would which makes me so happy.”
“Erik was an excellent sitter! Erik provided lots of updates and pictures and I could tell he got to know each of the cat’s personalities. It was clear he spent lots of quality time with them - played, fed, and cuddled like they were his own. My house was clean and tidy when I returned. 10/10 would book again!”
“Brianna was great at giving updates throughout house sitting. Any questions or issues she made it know right away. I would definitely recommend and use her again”
“Jennifer was great! She watched my three quirky pitty babies over the 4th of July weekend. Communication was great, lots of pictures and all the puppies looked to be having fun :) I would definitely book again and recommend to friends.”
About: I have petsat and walked dogs for quite a few years. I grew up with larger dogs and will be sure to treat yours with the utmost love and care. I have experience with animals of all sizes & I can easily adapt to the routine of your fur babies, and will prioritize them above anything else as my love for animals is that immense. I also have experience with cats & rabbits. I have my two cats named Moose & Pebble, 11 parakeets, and a dog named Moo. I update my availability weekly, but I will always be communicative about it. This is something I do in my free time and thoroughly enjoy spending time with doing. I am very passionate about animals. I follow written instructions to a T. I am very respectful of people’s homes and can be trusted. I send hourly updates whenever possible and make sure to be communicative when it comes to your fur baby or any possible questions that may pop up.
“Maciyah was simply put, amazing! This was our first time leaving our dog alone with someone he didn’t know and Maciyah couldn’t have made the whole process any more perfect. From the meet and greet until the final day of her stay, she was unbelievably helpful and responsive. She sent pictures and videos daily and gave us updates throughout each day. We had so many nerves about the trip until she got there and all our worries were instantly gone thanks to her professional experience with dogs. She left our home in the exact same way she found it. Couldn’t have asked for a better first time using this service all thanks to Maciyah. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!”
“Kenna was amazing! She took wonderful care of my home and dog!”
“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”
“Tori was so kind to my dog and my cat and she kept my home spotless. They were so well cared for while I was gone. I have already booked her again. I highly recommend her.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Kayla was a fantastic fur baby sitter! My dogs absolutely adored her, they were well cared for, and I was kept in the loop with their daily activities. I absolutely recommend Kayla, and I will be using her services again in the future. She’s kind, communicative, and respectful of my time and space. I could go on and on, but your pets are in kind safe hands with Kayla!”
“I found Allie after getting called for a last minute work trip and I wish I found her sooner!!!! She was quick to respond and accommodating to my last minute schedule. She gave my husky all of the love and attention she needed while I was away and stayed in contact with regular updates so I could be worry free! She went above and beyond during her stay with my pup and it was so nice to be able to come right home to her happy as ever. I can be extremely picky when it comes to my pups care but Allie is top notch. 10/10 !!!!”
“Emily was an extraordinary dog sitter! She went over and above to provide a comfortable and relaxing time for our two old dogs. We were constantly updated with cute pictures of them playing and came home to a squeaky clean house! We cannot say enough positive things about our experience.”
“Nicole gives us great relief when we have to leave our pit mix Kenai. Kenai is shy and often gets overwhelmed with new people and Nicole did such a wonderful job of being patient with him. He loves Nicole and I can see why! Always takes awesome care of our apartment as well as Kenai.”
“Bridget was an excellent sitter, one of my dogs fell ill while I was away and she took such good care of her and kept in contact with me the entire time and put my mind at ease. She went above and beyond taking such great care of my dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone and will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I am a huge animal lover and have had many dogs and cats throughout my life. I currently own a 3 year old Australian Shepherd and a calico kitty! I have plenty of experience with multiple dog breeds and I don't discriminate. I have experience taking dogs for walks, feeding them, giving medications, bathing them, cleaning up messes, and playing with them. I know how important it is for your pets to be well cared for, so I hope to provide the peace of mind of knowing your pets are happy and taken care of! I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time available! I typically work 10-20 hours a week but will still be available on my work days for check-ins and walks! I do have my own dog, so if you request me for house-sitting please note I will either have to bring him with me, or I will not be able to stay full time as I'd have to go home to take care of him as well. I have plenty of experience with multiple types of dogs. I have been doing research on dog body language and understanding their cues so I will know how to listen to their boundaries to make them as comfortable as possible! I practice positive reinforcement training so if you have a stubborn dog, know I'll be able to handle them well!
“Great communication, and the dogs seemed very well taken care of when I got back. Also, house was in order - would recommend to anyone!”
“Ayanna provided a great sitting service for my dog in my home for 7 days while I went away for vacation. She was sure to send pics, and videos. I would definitely request Ayanna again. 💕”
“Excellent with our Zoey. On meet and greet, he took her for a walk with my boyfriend. This impressed us both because the extra time he took for us to get to know him and see how Zoey was with him. Definitely a call back. Thank you Sei.”

Palmer Woods pet parents share their Rover experiences
Robyn did an amazing job housitting for our two pets. We really couldn’t ask for more. She sent regular and detailed updates/pictures and was extremely communicative. She went above and beyond with taking care of the animals and the house. She handled everything with ease and grace and we came home to a very happy dog and cat as well as sparkling house. We would give her our highest recommendation.
Savana did an excellent job taking care of our cat and dog while we were away! She was very attentive and communicative and we would absolutely recommend her to take care of your pets.
I hate leaving my pup for long periods of time, but I always feel comfortable leaving him with Nicole. Sends so many detailed updates and pictures, closely reads instructions, and leaves my place nice and clean. She’s the best!
We have used Emily several times for house/pet sitting. She always goes above and beyond. I always trust my home and pets are loved and cared for while I’m away.
Richard is always great with our fur babies. He’s very patient, even when one of the babies is chaotically naughty :)
I had a great experience with Lydia! She sent regular updates and photos and was very responsive overall. She also didn’t hesitate to accept when I requested an additional day on the end of my trip and I really appreciate the flexibility. I came home to calm, happy dogs!
Ayanna was great with my dog George, and gave me peace of mind that he was in good hands while I was away!
Nicole was wonderful. She arrived on time and hung out with my cat. My cat also found a new friend in Nicole, which is new since she is skittish around new people. So that is always a win for me. Will definitely get Nicole to take care of my baby again.
Sarah took great care of Yucca over the weekend. She sent daily updates and pictures and always responds to messages quickly. I felt at ease leaving Yucca in her care.
Excellent with our Zoey. On meet and greet, he took her for a walk with my boyfriend. This impressed us both because the extra time he took for us to get to know him and see how Zoey was with him. Definitely a call back. Thank you Sei.
Mark was easy going, attentive, and communicative. He wanted to make sure he had a visit with our pup close to their stay so he would be comfortable, and helped take care of some baby plants we had just put in. It was a great stay. Thank you, Mark!
Courtney, was super thorough and was prepared for watching our dogs. She was the best and sweetest. Our dogs were happy with her and I felt I didn’t have to worry about them when they were in her care. We’ll 1000% use her again. I recommend everyone uses her.
He made taking a vacation very easy. Kept us informed on how Apollo was doing. We will definitely be asking him to watch Apollo in the future.
Laurie is great! My two dogs were well cared for. Great communication the whole time. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!
Lindsey was available anytime we needed her while we were on vacation and was very reliable with our senior, complex dogs. Very happy to have her and grateful for her skills.
Amalie did such a great job watching our dog Fitz while we were out of town for the week! She was always so responsive, kept Fitz active and busy, and left our house just as we left it :) We will definitely be calling her again for our next trip!
