“Alex was great with Sunny. Sunny is a very shy dog and can be anxious, but she did well with Alex. It was a one day booking and he sent a picture with Sunny. I was happy with his professional attitude and have already booked him for a 9 day booking.”
“Rachel did an amazing job watching over our two boys while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She was very communicative and sent us photo/video updates every day. Our dogs also thoroughly enjoyed playing with her poodle, Jaskier. I would trust her to stay with them again and again!”
“Jen house sat and watched our two cats while we were on vacation for a week. She took great care of our cats and kept in touch with photos and updates, which gave us confidence while we were far away from home. We will rebook Jen again and recommend her to anyone needing their pets cared for.”
“Anna is a super sweet girl and does a great a job with our pups! She keeps our house very clean and our hyper pups are calmer than normal when we return and happy as could be! I am very at ease knowing she takes such good care of everything while we are away. Thanks again for everything Anna!!”
“Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily. We really appreciated the report card and welcome home by our happy relaxed pet family, when we returned home. It was very obvious that our pets enjoyed her! From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.”
“Great service! Brad is an excellent communicator, and took great care of our dog and home. He kept me up to date and was always fast to reply. Our house was spotless when we returned and he was very tidy (which was also important to us).”
“Haley was wonderful with Piper! She followed all pipers instructions and schedules, and left our home even cleaner than when we left! She even stayed late on the last day when our flight was delayed due to bad weather so Piper wouldn’t be alone. Would highly recommend!”
“Suli house sat and watched our Blue Heeler Tag for 10 days. Tag was happy, and calm when we got home. We were kept updated. Suli left the home clean like we left it and even washed her sheets and watered our plants. We would recommend Suli and will definitely use her again.”
“Callie was absolutely amazing while house-sitting my dog for 3 nights! She gave me multiple updates everyday with pictures and videos. A truly anxiety-free experience and would 100% book again.”
“Niara is amazing with my dog (100 lb lab mix) and has been a repeat booking for long weekends when I’m out of town. Niara always sends photos and videos of my dog while I’m gone and makes me feel very secure that my dog is in good hands. Can’t recommend her services enough!!”
About: Being able to help pet owners care for and love their pets is such an enjoyable experience. I'm comfortable with cats of all different personalities, sassy, shy or snuggly, I'm also experienced with dogs who are anxious, shy or full of energy. I provide regular updates so you can be at ease while you're away. I have a very calm and patient approach and tailor my care to each pet's different needs. I'm consistent and don't just show up. I try to understand your pets routines and preferences. I am working on finishing my degree which I do mostly from home. My schedule is very flexible. I am home most of the time which gives me more to time to spend with your pets! I am an active person and try to get in as much exercise as I can, I would love to take your pet on a walk/jog with me! That being said, one of my favorite ways to unwind is cuddling up with a pet and book in hand! I adjust to each pet's energy levels and what they need, whether that's exercise or some snuggles. Your trust and pet's safety are both incredibly important to me. I treat your home with care and honor your pet’s routines, always striving to provide a loving, familiar environment.
“Cara was amazing with our 2 jack russel terriers while we were on vacation for a week. She sent pictures and videos daily which we adored. Our younger, newer dog warmed up to her quickly. She played ball with pur older dog. Good communication, reliable and helped us relax by not having to worry about the dogs while on vacation since we knew they were with someone who cared. Definitely will be requesting Cara in the future. Thank you Cara!”
About: I've been taking care of pets, mostly cats, for the past 3–4 years. This includes feeding, litter box maintenance, playtime, and providing companionship. I’ve also administered medication to my own cat, so I understand the patience and care needed for pets with special needs. I love getting to know each pet I meet, understanding their unique personalities, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care! I’m available for drop-ins weekdays before and after work, as well as around lunchtime. I’m also available for house sitting most days with advanced notice. I prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care by ensuring they are always supervised and secure. I carefully follow owners' instructions and maintain clear communication. My goal is to provide a calm, stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs.
“Ashley did an amazing job. Tons of photos and updates of our cat and puppy. She also cleaned our home(kitchen and floors) which was SUCH a treat to come home to after travel! She was amazing!”

Patch pet parents share their Rover experiences
We had such a great experience with Eileen watching our two dogs, Bently and Sheba, while we were away on a camping trip. From the moment we connected, she was communicative, professional, and warm. Exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pets and staying in your home. While we were gone, Eileen went above and beyond to make sure Bently and Sheba were comfortable, happy, and well loved. She sent us daily updates with pictures and sweet messages, letting us know how they were doing and what they were up to. It was such a relief to be able to enjoy our trip without worrying, knowing our fur babies were in such good hands. It was also clear from her messages that she genuinely cared about them, which meant the world to us. When we returned, the house was spotless. She left everything just as we had it, if not better. And most importantly, Bently and Sheba were calm, relaxed, and clearly well cared for during our time away. It was such a comfort to know that they were able to stay in their own home with someone who treated them like her own. We’re so grateful to have found Eileen, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. If you’re looking for someone who is kind, responsible, and truly loves animals, look no further. Eileen is the best!
Marsha is complete magic! One of our dogs wasn’t eating and having accidents before we left to go out of town for a long weekend. By the time we got home Taco was consistently eating his meals and had NO accidents while we were away. Marsha is a super communicator and sent loads of photos. We could see how happy our dogs were with her there. We already re-booked with her for our next trip! Absolutely fantastic dog / house sitter!
Niara is amazing! She always sends morning updates and pictures throughout the day of both our pups! Not only does she stay over to keep the puppies company, but she is very engaged and plays and takes them on nice walks in the neighborhood. We have hired her now three times now- she is very responsive and is just amazing all around! We are so lucky to have found her!!!
Damica was incredibly diligent and so sweet to work with! We were out of the country for a week and she was so good about providing updates and sent so many pictures and videos daily throughout the week. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pups were being well taken care of. She even came over twice before we left to meet the dogs so they could feel comfortable with her while we were away. Will definitely be using Damica in the future!
