My wife and I just had Jennifer stay with our dog for the very first time …. it was perfect! Wylie and Jennifer got along great! Jennifer made him feel loved and comfortable. Wylie has a strong attachment to my wife, but Jennifer won him over. While the Rover website is great and easy to work with, Jennifer walked us through the process, explained what she could do and made us feel good about leaving Wylie in the hands of a complete stranger (a stranger no more). We were equally impressed with how well Jennifer treated our home. We were gone overnight and Jennifer stayed with Wylie in our home. There is no question that I very highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is the least bit nervous about having a pet-sitter. We plan on using her every chance we get!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child, and love spending time with animals! I also foster cats in my free time and like to volunteer with local shelters! I’m currently in medical school, so this is a part time position for me, helping me to pay for my education and honestly supporting my mental health! I like to provide a calm and stable environment, and take pride in my ability to understand dog/cat body language, which helps me provide appropriate care!

About: I've taken care of dogs (either my own or pet-sitting) for the past 15 years. I have had many friends and family members rely on me to keep their pets fed, walked, played with, and loved while they are out! I also have experience with senior dogs, giving medication etc. My work schedule is fairly flexible, so it's super easy for me to fit pet care into my daily/weekly routines! I keep my home clean and safe for pups to venture around. I will send lots of pictures so you know your pet is happy and well taken care of. I have a fairly flexible full time job where I am able to work from home as needed. Additionally, when I need to be in person it is usually only for a few hours maximum. So I have plenty of time to be playing with and caring for your pups! I live in a very walkable neighborhood with lots of great spots for fur babies to use the bathroom and get their exercise in! I spend a lot of time after initial drop off trying to make your pet as comfortable and relaxed as possible! I'll also send you lots of pictures to alleviate some of the stress of leaving your pup with someone else. I spend a lot of time giving the pets I care for the same love and attention they would receive at home.

I was so fortunate to have found Calli when I needed someone to be gentle and affectionate toward my senior dog and approachable for my younger dog. She tended to Foxy with so much care because of her recent injury and Singha warmed up to her too which surprised me. I will certainly have Cali be their caregiver again. I recommend Calli as a five star sitter.

About: I’m a responsible and caring college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I have experience caring for dogs and small animals from my time living in India. Although I currently don’t have photos with dogs or cats on my profile, I truly enjoy caring for animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely and provide updates while you’re away 💕 I’m currently a college student, which allows me to have a flexible and balanced schedule. During the weekdays, I plan my classes and responsibilities in a way that still allows me to provide consistent care, attention, and supervision for pets in my home. I am especially available on weekends, where I can dedicate even more time to your pet for walks, playtime, and companionship. I make sure pets are not left alone for long periods and that their daily routines, including feeding, potty breaks, and exercise, are followed closely. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I prioritize creating a calm, attentive, and loving environment so your pet feels comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. When pets stay in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a clean, pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and feel at home. They will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection throughout the day. I also ensure they are always supervised and never left alone for long periods. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and needs, and I will communicate regularly with updates, photos, and videos so you can feel reassured while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, safe, and loved, just like they would in their own home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and other animals for about 5 years now. I love all types of animals and know how to act around them to ensure that they feel relaxed. I walk my neighbor's dog all the time and have pet-sat for many friends before. I can administer medication if needed, bring them on walks, or train them. I am currently working part-time, so I have a relatively flexible schedule for overnight sitting, day sitting, dog/cat walks, etc. We can work out logistics! I am all about safety. I am diligent about following any rules or precautions that need to be followed. Please list any concerns or needs you need me to follow and I will ensure that those accommodations are met.

Celestine truly went above and beyond!! We were worried as this was the first time leaving our pets so long and with a housesitter, but after the first few hours it was clear all our pets were in amazing hands! Celestine showed clear love and understanding of animals. We were initially worried how our reactive dog would do while we were away, but Celestine worked with him with great care, patience, and clear expertise from training guide dogs, adjusting walking schedules for our reactive dog and doing some training. Updates were sent frequently and always with such aesthetic photos 🙂 We would trust Celestine to watch our pets again in a heartbeat 😊

Sarah is an incredible pet sitter!! She watched our dog and cat for 10 days over the holidays. She made sure our pup got lots of exercise and even took her on errands with her to avoid leaving her alone (she has separation anxiety). Sarah also won over our cat who typically isn’t very nice lol. Highly recommend booking Sarah to watch your pets!

Nicole was absolutely great with our dog while we were on vacation. Upon meeting Nicole we knew she was going to be a great fit for us. Our dog ran right up to her and was so happy to meet her - dogs just seem to know good people 😊. Thanks to Nicole, we were able to enjoy our vacation as we knew our fur baby was in good hands. Each day ended with Nicole sending us amazing pictures and videos. This was our first time using a sitter and it was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend Nicole and will definitely be booking her in the future.
