“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
“It was our first time using Rover and we had a great experience! Ericka sent regular pics and updates. When we got home our dog was happy and content. When we’ve had to use something more like daycare in the past, he just gets really stressed and barely eats. We will be using rover again in the future for sure.”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“Brooke was so sweet and communicative throughout the entire stay! She sent so many photos and I could tell my pup adored spending time with her. I would absolutely recommend booking Brooke to care for your fur baby!”
“Traisaun is great with all of our pups. He gets them plenty of exercise and attention (and they are all very needy for attention, so that’s no easy task). He also does a great job with any medications they have! You can trust both your animals and your house to Traisaun! (we always use him for overnight stays when he is available)”
“Natalie was the best! Prompt, friendly, and took excellent care of our Clementine. I could not recommend her more! She made our trip relaxing because we knew our pup was in good hands! Thank you Rover and especially Natalie!”
“She is amazing!!! She took care of our cat and dog and also was an amazing house guest, left everything clean and tidy and overall it was a wonderful experience. I will be booking with her again and would recommend her to anyone!”
“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”
“David was a great sitter for our two cats. He stayed the weekend and the cats were well cared for and our house was in perfect condition when we came home. He sent us pics and updates while we were away which were appreciated. Would totally recommend David to other people looking for a caring and attentive pet sitter!”

“Maddi was awesome to have watch our senior pups! She was so thorough and kind and I felt very quickly at ease with our dogs in her care. Would highly recommend anyone considering care for their fur babes to book with her and I personally hope to have her again with our pups the next time we need a sitter!”

“Darra did a great job taking care of our senior dog. She communicated and sent pictures and videos. The house was also in great shape when we got home, very happy to have her and will definitely use her again!”
About: I have 4 dogs and have taken care of 2 of them since they were puppies. I got my first dog in 5th grade as a gift and it was my responsibility to take care of her. Then I got my second dog when I was in 9th grade and I have taken care of both of them since. I take care of my dogs daily by feeding them, taking them out, and for walks. I also play with them and make sure that they have what they need. I am able to accommodate for what each dog and their owner needs and I can let them out or take them on walks if needed.
“Sydney was great with our husky and pug! Our pug is diabetic, blind and elderly and Sydney was fine with giving her insulin. They were both well cared for. We will definitely seek out her services when we need a sitter in the future!”
“Ellie is wonderful! We’ve already booked her twice and will definitely book again. Our latest trip was for 11 days. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Ellie. She took such good care of our pup, sent us daily updates with photos, and was very attentive and thoughtful. Highly recommend her!”

He kept me updated with photos and feedback on how my dogs were doing, he went above and beyond to make sure their needs were met aside from walking them, he would play with them and even take them to the dog park. I would certainly recommend Michael to look after your pets because he truly loves and understands pets.”

Ericka was great with our two puppies. We've now had Ericka come to our home for drop in visits and at home stays. She is communicative and we feel good about our pups being in her care while we are away. We are happy to have found Ericka and will be using her services in the future.
This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!
Emmaline was truly a stellar dog sitter! She gave us such detailed reports on how our pup was doing throughout the week, provided ample photos or them hanging out and relaxing together, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to know their pup is well loved.
Chelsea was absolutely outstanding! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, kind, and professional. She even came for a meet-and-greet to help our pup feel comfortable and stayed longer than scheduled to ensure she was okay. Flexible, caring, and clearly passionate—highly recommend!
Emma has been amazing! We have used her numerous times and will continue to do so! She is prompt, always sends updates and is amazing with sending pictures! I have zero anxiety being out of town when Emma is around (which is hard when you love your pets so much!) highly recommend her services!!
Katelyn was AMAZING! It was our first time doing an in home sit but she was so accommodating with coming to meet them first and get comfortable around them. They warmed up to her immediately and were snuggled up to her the whole time. She sent frequent updates and was so quick with her responses. We will deff be using her again!! Thank you Katelyn :)
Malik was awesome! He went above and beyond to watch our dog and home while we were away for the week. Pablo had a great time and we could tell he was happy while we were gone. Even though he’s high need and has lots of health issues, Malik took care of him so well that even with the stress of us being away, Pablo’s ailments continued to improve. Don’t hesitate to book with Malik!
Alyssa was such a great cat sitter! Our cat has a weird medicine routine, and Alyssa was able to help us out. Not only that, but we even learned new techniques on how to administer meds from her! While we were away, Alyssa was communicative and always sending cutie pics of our sweet girl. Would highly recommend!
Sydney was a great sitter. Our dog was well cared for and happy and healthy when we returned. Sydney’s communication was excellent, continually keeping us informed on our dog’s day and any issues or concerns that arose. I will happily book again in the future!
