1. jackie M.

“Jackie is amazing- I asked her to watch Tucker very last minute, and she was SO accommodating. She sent so many pictures/videos of Tucker and he absolutely loved her!! I will definitely book with her again!”


2. Teagan H.

“Teagan was fantastic and took excellent care of my dog while I was out of town. She sent lots of photos and was very communicative! I will definitely have her back next time I need a sitter!”


3. Hannah C.

“My dog is friendly, but standoffish. Hannah had her cozy up to her in minutes. She took her on the number of walks I requested and fed her as directed. She was also very good with my cat. When I came back the house was just as I had left it. I will have her dog/cat sit again.”


4. Bobbie O.

“Bobbie was wonderful! My husband and I were scrambling to find a sitter last minute after our original plans with a friend fell through. I was very nervous to have someone new come stay with our dogs, but we really had to trust Bobbie and her already great reviews. She sent us lots of pictures and updates each day that made us feel very comfortable with how Lady & Olive were settling in with her. When we got home there was a very sweet little care package she had left us, with handwritten updates on each day with the dogs and when they went potty or played. Her attention to detail was incredible! Don't hesitate to schedule with Bobbie!”


5. Natalie G.

“It was nice knowing my animals were safe and taken care of while we were gone overnight. Natalie sent updates and pictures, which we greatly appreciated.”


6. Evie R.

“This was our second time using Evie. I cannot say enough good things about her. The pets are well cared for and the house was left emasculate. Grab her if you can (just not when I need her lol). You won’t be disappointed!”


7. Caroline G.

“Caroline was great! She made sure my time away caused little disruption to my very spoiled fur babies. I know they got the cuddles and loves they would have if I was there!”


8. Rebecca M.

“Becky was perfect for our puppy. She was flexible and cared for her as she was her own. She was easy to communicate with and Roxy just adores her.”


9. Nique L.

“She did a great job constantly updating us and sending pictures of our dogs. She was very respectful of our dogs needs and took great care of them! Also was very thorough of any special requests or needs for our dogs. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to treat their fur babies like their own!”


10. Sheila G.

“Sheila is our hero! My Sargent was able to stay in the comfort of his own home, rather than locked up in a kennel for a week, while being loved as if I was there! She kept in touch throughout my trip keeping me up to date that things were going great at home. Not only did she watch my baby boy, but she house sat. I came home to clean sheets,vacuumed, my microwave and air fryer cleaned out. Also had a welcome home bouquet and card! 🙏🏼This woman is great, shes a saint! I was skeptical abt this Rover thing at first, but let me tell you Ms Sheila has been a blessing...when i got back i gave her more and she was totally worth more! We are so grateful to have even met her. We've all built a bond and a friendship w her and have plans to keep in touch for Auntie Sheila to visit in the future. Thank you Sheila for loving my Sargent and my home while I was away! Best experience ever!”

About: Hello, I have been pet sitting for neighbors/friends since I was 10! I care for all dogs/cats, and I have experience handling medication. I currently have a 2 year old mini dog, but I will love your pets as if they were mine!! I am currently a student at EMU but I'm taking all online asynchronous classes for the summer semester, and I'm only taking 1 in-person class for the fall with the rest online as well. I will update if anything changes. I drive my own car and I'm available at any time! I offer house sitting and drop in's! I'll always make sure to send photo updates of your fur babies and update frequently. Your pets are safe and loved with me :)


12. Audrey S.
“Audrey is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our pets while we were away—we came home to happy, relaxed animals and everything just as we left it. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Audrey is super reliable, friendly, and clearly loves animals. We’ll definitely be calling her again next time we need a sitter.”


13. Faith W.

“Faith was great! She spent a lot of time with our 4-legged fur babies. She left the house nice and clean. She was dependable and we will definitely try and book her again! Thank you Faith!! We appreciate you!”


14. Heidi C.

“Heidi is great with both of our dogs and cat. I think our pup was better behaved when we returned home! I appreciate all the updates she provides and photos.”




15. Cindie S.

“Cindie was absolutely wonderful to work with and Bubbles LOVED her. She stayed in my home with him and it all worked out perfectly. She is a seasoned sitter, so I didn’t have to worry about a thing while away! Highly recommend Cindie!”


16. Tiffany H.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from helping my mother with animal rescue for the last 20 yrs . I am currently employed full-time, but I am available on weekends as well as any time after 6:00pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. During the summer, my schedule will become more flexible. I am unable to accommodate animals in my home, but I will establish trust and confidence with animals within the client's residence. This involves assisting them in overcoming their anxieties and fears.


17. Nicole B.
About: I currently have 2 dogs, age range 5-7 years. I am a very active person and I love including my fur babies in my daily activities. We enjoy the riverbank behind our house and large 60 acre walking trails just a quarter-mile down the street. I treat every pet as if he/she were my own. I have experience with many shapes, sizes, and personalities. I also have experience in administering injections and oral medication. I have had pets with medical conditions such as diabetes requiring insulin, and pets with special needs such as complete blindness and deafness. I have had high energy and low energy pets. I can handle anything your pet may require and I love them all the same. I am happiest when I’m taking care of animals and I would love nothing more than to help take care of yours. I work from home during the work week. I am home during the evening and on the weekends as well. Your pet will have frequent bathroom breaks during any stay at my house and plenty of attention. Your dog will enjoy all of the same luxuries my own dogs enjoy daily. All of my dogs get along great with other dogs of all shapes and sizes and they love meeting new friends. While staying in your home, I will respect the rules and schedule of your household.


18. Cierra H.
“Cierra has a very calming and reassuring presence. She owns two dogs of her own, including her cat, and has experience working in a dog daycare. She's patient, kind, and loving to all pets. I'm positive that she is one of the best sitters on this app.”


19. Beth B.

“Beth takes great care of my 2 dogs. Always sends me pictures and updates on how they are doing while I’m away. Definitely recommend her. Julie F”


20. Alison T.

“Alison was absolutely excellent ! Very professional from her first visit with the dogs until she left our home at the end of her stay. Regularly updated us while we were away with pictures and messages and left our home cleaner than when she arrived. Our dogs are large and can be intimidating understandably, but Alison took on caring for them AND staying with them in our home all weekend without any issues whatsoever, we are so glad to have found a professional who we know we can trust for any other house/dog sitting needs in our future. Thank you Alison !”
