“Stephen was such a great help to us! He worked with our schedule for drop in visits for our dog Watson. Always left me a detailed description of what they did and how our little guy was. Watson will miss him until the next time!”


“Eleanor was very responsible and our family felt like she was taking care of our dogs well. We got photos of them every day we were away. She was great about responding and getting in touch with any questions or concerns in a timely matter. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”


“Brooke did a fabulous job caring for my pup Baxter in our home over the weekend. He’s very attached to his Mama and worries when a suitcase appears. Well, the photos Brooke sent me at each visit showed a very happy, playful pup who seemed to love her! I had a worry-free trip and Baxter made a lovely new buddy! My first time using Rover, and I’m hooked! I will 💯 hire Brooke next time I travel - she’s amazing.”


“Lawrence was great with my pets and super communicative with me while I was out of town, appreciated all of the photos he sent and the time he took to get to know my kiddos!”


“So very grateful for Alex committed to care for our silly girl last minute. Saved us a lot of stress for our trip. It seems like Alex and Poppy got along great!”


“Danielle was fantastic and eased my worries from the start. I had to last minute book her due to a cancellation, and she reassured me every time I had any question or concern. She takes lots of pictures and is always willing to give love to my pups. I was cautious with a new person, but I’m glad I gave Danielle the chance because she is AWESOME!”


“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! I have been looking for a house sitter for years due to my dog’s anxiety and inability to board. Rachel does this full-time, so she actually stayed at my house throughout the day to look after my dog, two cats, and two birds and sent great pictures every day. She’s everything I have ever wanted in a house/pet sitter. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”


About: I am known as the go-to pet sitter for all of my friends and family! I have worked with everything from tiny 4 week old puppies to senior pets who need assistance walking and require multiple medications. I am comfortable with giant dogs and I have experience with fearful/aggressive animals. I’m an avid hiker and love to stay active, usually with my dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk or care for your pet at your convenience! I have a reliable car and don’t mind driving! I have a yard with a secure, 6 foot privacy fence and live in a very walkable neighborhood with three parks near my home. If your pet is more comfortable staying home I am available to take care of them there! I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to learn your pet’s routine!

“Things fell through with my previous sitter (that wasn’t from Rover). I reached out to Kaity last minute, as I was scrambling to find someone to watch my chihuahua. She came within 1.5 hours of contacting her to do a meet and greet with Bailey since is weary of strangers from a traumatic past. She even moved around some her schedule to accommodate us. He was reserved at first, but quickly warmed up to Kaity. On day 2, he was already waiting at the door for her and greeting her with toys and kisses. I get cute pictures and a little summary of how their time together went. I would definitely recommend Kaity to anyone and I have her on weekly repeat visits. We are happy!”


“Erin was fantastic! I loved getting the pictures of my kitty twice daily. She even came out in a terrible storm which I would not expect. ? Recommend!’”


“Hannah was great!! Super responsive when we needed a sitter last minute and great about keeping us updated along the way! Would absolutely book again!”


“Laura is a class act, from the very beginning when we had our meet and greet. The daily check ins, detailed synopsis of each visit, and the attention to detail shows her incredible passion. She is simply steller. I would trust anything from your pets to your home with Laura.”


“Allison is a wonderful cat sitter! I booked Allison for 9 days of drop-in visits to keep my cats food, water, and litter refreshed but she went above and beyond! 1. Expect great photos of your cats. Every day I looked forward to seeing cute pictures of my cats. 2. Allison truly loves cats and understands cat social behavior. During her orientation visit, Allison was clearly very observant of our cats' boundaries and allowed them to make the first contact. By the time she left the orientation, they were sleeping on the floor/couch without a care in the world. Missing parents is already a stress for cats. Given this, introducing a stranger to your home is a tough decision to make but I could already tell I had nothing to worry about and that showed in her updates and especially the photos shared. 3. Allison will keep your cats stimulated! Our cats are very human-oriented and get very antsy when they're parents are out of town. Allison takes time during her drop-in visits to play with them and give them the affection they crave. 4. Allison makes sure you come home to a place exactly as you left it. She took the trash out when it needed. She kept the floor around the litterbox clean from litter. Before now, I've never left home for such a period and come back to a place so clean! Some notes specific to this particular booking: We had a power outage for 4 (or 5?) consecutive days while we were away. Allison made an extra drop-in to check on the cats after the storm because she sensed our power was likely out. She cracked some windows and paid close attention to the cats' comfort throughout the power outage. This was a complete curveball and I'm so glad I chose Allison for this booking. When she says "Pets = unconditional love!" she means it! Everything Allison does in service of your pets. I would re-book based on my previous notes alone, but she handled this power outage so well it's not even a question!”


About: I would love to care for your fur-babies when have to be away. I grew up with dogs and cats throughout my childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. Starting in 2006, I began caring for others' pets in my home, then in 2018, I had more freedom to start house sitting as well. I prefer to watch your pets at their home, as they are generally more comfortable in their familiar environment, especially while their family is away. I am available full-time, outside of the occasional appointment or event. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thanks! I have no pets or young children. I have my own vehicle. I will keep your pet's routine seamless from the time of your departure. I will follow your instructions in order to keep your pets happy and comfortable. Along with your pets, I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Allison was amazing with Trinity! She cared for her as if she was her own. I appreciate the great communication, check in photos, and attention to detail. I would highly recommend Allison's services”



“Mallory did great with my dog. Showed up on time and helped out with feeding my fish (thanks again for that)!”


“Last minute booking with Colette. She was great and sent me pics”


About: My family had beds on and off my whole life, but as an adult I have had one dog, Hermione, a 12 year old Shih Tzu, and two cats, Arya and Nymeria, who are both 2 years old. I am currently only working part time and I work from home so my availability is very flexible. I prefer mornings and early afternoons, but can help in evenings as needed! As a pet parent, I understand how important it is to give your babies structure and routine, so I default to your directions and will follow them to a T, because that is the kind of care I want for my precious babies!

“I am very grateful to Damica for helping out with my Papi Chulo for 4 days on such a short notice. Also did an amazing job on communication and keeping me updated on all events, I would definitely work with her again 👍🏾”


“Rachele was so awesome meeting my last minute needs for my baby! Her quick communication and updates with pictures for just a 30 minute check in was so appreciated!”

“We ask Katherine (Katie) exclusively any time we go out of town, or even out for an extended period. She is so good with our boys and they love her, something they don't with everyone. She is extremely responsible and doesn't mind our special requests, ie: certain foods at certain times, exercise at certain times, play times, etc. She is an absolute dream come true!”

Marsha R.
“Marsha has been pet-sitting for our family for more than 15 years. She took great care of our older dogs, a Pittie and a teacup Pom, and after they died, she has cared for our next rescue Pittie and rescue teacup Pom. All our dogs are happy to see her, and we are so glad when she is available to stay with them. We don’t worry about our house either, and we know she leaves it in the same condition we left it. The neighbors recognize her from her walks with our dogs, and tell us she is attentive and playful with them. She’s terrific.”

She's the best mom to her 2 cats, Arya and Nymeria, and she has plenty of experience with dogs as well. Knowing Roxy is there for anything Suzie needs while I am gone gives me great peace of mind!!”
