“I’m leaving another review because Nyasia is the most thoughtful caretaker I’ve worked with. She gave me so many details about Morby’s behavior during walks. If you’re a sensitive person with a sensitive dog, Nyasia is the caretaker for you! She even braved the 90 degree sunny weather and thought to bring a water bottle for Morby dog. She’s the greatest!”

We received a detailed update on our girl, including an hour by hour account of how she didn’t sleep bc of her anxiety and how Natasha got up with her several times through the night to walk her and comfort her. I can’t say enough about Natasha’s kindness and patience toward our special needs girl.”

She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Literally the best sitter! This was my first time using a sitter from rover. I knew from the profile and meet and greet this was going to be a long term sitter for my pets! All 4 dogs were cared for well even my old chihuahua who gets depressed when I travel. She also updated me while on vacation on them.”
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Our dog, Mara, has some separation anxiety and we are so happy Charlotte was able to stay with her again to be a familiar, friendly face. She was prompt, respectful of our home, and very easy to work with. We look forward to working with Charlotte again!”
About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time
About: Hi! Huge animal lover and have looked after dogs for years, I owned a dog growing up for 12 years and I looked after several dogs in the neighborhood to walk feed and play with them during the days in high school. I also have experience with overnight care and extended stays. This is my current full time job, I have all the time in the world to take care of your fur baby! I’m incredibly active and a runner, some clients enjoy me running with their dogs as well. Rover is my currently my full time job, I do travel occasionally but my calendar is always fully up to date. I am currently looking for my next part time job, but I work remote! I’m very hands on with the dogs when I’m staying at my clients homes. When leaving the home I try to leave a light and maybe some music, making sure there’s not anything laying around. I take the dogs out frequently as well!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong pet owner with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish. I understand that every pet has unique needs whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I’m here to provide safe, loving care while you’re away, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I work Monday–Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, but I’m flexible and happy to accommodate pet visits before work, during lunch, after work, and before bedtime. I also offer overnight stays for pets who need extra company and care while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle, medication, or just some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for I believe every pet is unique, and I’m here to provide personalized care based on their needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and fish, and I’m comfortable with all life stages from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC.

Whether your pet is energetic, independent, or in need of medical support, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Emily is wonderful, and so sweet to my little pup. Gnocchi can’t go outside yet, so Emily took the time to take her out in her carrier for some sightseeing so she won’t get too cooped up at home. I’d have her over again in a heartbeat! :)”

Went above and beyond. Tons of updates and understanding. Pets loved them and I will definitely book again in the future.
As always Clyanna was patient and kind to our timid pup and was a huge help for a full week of watching Trixie. She was able to help her feel cozy enough to enjoy the week.
Ashley is always amazing with Lola, but this time she went above and beyond—she noticed Lola straining to pee on my first night away, which led to an evening trip to the emergency vet. She kept me informed and handled everything with intelligence and compassion. Not the way either of us planned my week away, but Ashley made sure Lola was expertly cared for.
Ozzy recently stayed at my home to take care of my two dogs, Finnegan and Fiona, and did a fantastic job. From the start, Ozzy was professional, responsive, and clearly attentive to my dogs’ needs. Ozzy followed all instructions closely and kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. When I returned, Finnegan and Fiona were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I absolutely recommend Ozzy to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and responsible sitter—and I’ll definitely book with Ozzy again for my dog care needs.
Amarissa did a great job watching my cats, Japser & Rosie ! She also helped me deal with a maintenance issue while I was away without a problem. Total rockstar !!
Katrina is great at communicating! Before the first appointment she responded promptly. During the meet and greet she was attentive and asked questions to ensure she would take the best care of our pets. She sent photos during the service with status updates which was nice. We look forward to booking with Katrina again in the future and our dogs do too!
Sherman had a great time with Ashleigh! Lots of walks and time to hang out together. Ashleigh was very responsible, communicated well, and made us feel great about leaving our dog at our house with her.
Merissa is a wonderful sitter and we are extremely happy with the care she provides! We have a few senior animals with special food and medical needs, and she made sure to follow all our instructions and kept us updated throughout her stay. She makes sure all of the animals are well-exercised and stimulated. We already have our next sit booked with her and highly recommend her as a responsible and thoughtful sitter.
My pups loved Neran! She did a great job of taking care of them and sent us many smiling photos. Looking forward to having Neran back!
Nyasia is such a good communicator with updates of our pets while she house sits. We come home to a happy dog and cat and a tidy house. So happy we have found such a good sitter to care for our 4-legged family members.
Annabelle was great about checking in, and went above and beyond in taking care of my Moose! The house was also exactly as I'd left it and looking great. I'd happily hire Annabelle again!
Samantha & Sean were life-savers when I was called to a 2-week work trip on the West Coast. They gave extraordinary care to my dog and provided regular updates and communication. I give them my highest recommendation!
We were very satisfied with our pet sitters! They did a great job taking care of our four dogs and one cat. They stayed in our home, respected our space, and sent daily updates, which gave us great peace of mind. Everyone was happy and well cared for—highly recommend!
Freedom was amazing!! She was super responsive and able to book last minute. She came over for a comprehensive visit before watching our puppy and cat and we felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with her. While we were gone she kept us updated the entire time and sent plenty of pictures. If we weren’t moving out of state, we would book her again in a heart beat! Highly recommend!!
I cannot express how nice it is to come home from a work trip and find everything pristine and the dogs happy. Emily is the best!
Rachel is a great friend and caregiver to our furry family. We are fortunate to have met her through Rover. We hate leaving our pups but knowing she is caring for them makes it easier.
After watching our younger dog, Mara, a couple of times, we asked Charlotte to house sit with both of our dogs who each have some separation anxiety quirks. As always, she was prompt and very easy to communicate with before and during the stay and was happy to accommodate Wally and Mara's needs.
What can't I say great about Monica! She did a fantastic job with our two Frenchies while my husband and I were away for the week between Christmas and New Year's! We were worried about finding a pet sitter that would not only be available that week but also stay overnight for the week in our home, so it was so great when I came across Monica's profile. Monica responds to all messages very quickly. She came over our house for a visit before we left to meet the pups so they could all get to know each other. Monica sent us lots of photos and updates throughout the week on how they were doing. Teddy is 4 years old so pretty self sufficient but Gus is a very active 7 month still learning not to put everything in his mouth he finds and also learning to take the stairs in the house so he needed extra attention. Monica did great caring for them and all their little quirks. She was also very respectful of our home and everything looked great when she left. We will be definitely using Monica again. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
