Top rated Place One house sitters
“Jill did great with our animals! She was able to handle our special pup who finally warmed up to her and play. She also sent us pictures of our animals and updates throughout her stay. Would definitely recommend!”
“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Kristie! She took absolutely incredible care of our three dogs and treated them like they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were not only safe and well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Kristie also looked after our home with the same level of care and attention. Everything was spotless and exactly as we left it when we returned. On top of that, she was unbelievably flexible and accommodating when our travel plans changed at the last minute. She handled everything with professionalism, kindness, and zero stress. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly compassionate to care for your pets and home, Kristie is the absolute best. We would recommend her without hesitation and can’t wait to book her again!”
“Jessica was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient With our great dane who is not sure of new people sometimes. Both are our dogs were calm and happy when we came back which shows what a great job jessica did. She Followed all the house and dog instructions and we would hire her again in future for our pups. She was a delight to work with.”
“Molly was so great with our new pup! She stayed at our place over the weekend and was so respectful of our home but more importantly so loving towards our little nugget. We got pictures every day and will use her again for sure!”
“Alex was a great sitter for Winston and Simba! She communicated really well leading up to and throughout the sit. We’re so happy that Winston had someone to take him on walks and play games to keep him stimulated while we were away. Thanks for taking great care of our boys!”
“Hayley was incredibly flexible and easy to work with. After we had already booked our time with her we had to make a significant change. She was very flexible kind Inc.. I think our pup had a great time with her. She’s a very nice young lady and we would definitely call her again for PetSitting..”
“Debbie was fantastic. She house sat and watched our two larger (and older) dogs. The girls were well cared for with medication and being spoiled. She sent regular updates and asked great questions before staying. Highly recommend Debbie!”
“Brittany took great care of our special needs beagle Lulu. She was extremely responsive and clearly has a wealth of experience in taking care of dogs. She also left our house in perfect shape. Would highly recommend!”
“Oline was phenomenal! She took such amazing care of my pups. She was also extremely responsive and always kept me informed of how they were doing with texts and lots of photos. Can’t say enough how great she was.”
“If it wasn’t morally improper, I’d write a bad review so that no one took her from me. From the first meet and greet, she was amazing. She cared for my dogs in a way I could only hope someone would (they are sweet and kind but not always firing on all cylinders). I was 8,000 miles away and not for a second doubted they were in good hands. She was professional, and detailed, and kind and friendly. My only gripe is that I think they like her more than me now. She is responsive, and caring, and thoughtful. Daily videos, and check ins, and updates. She took care of my house as well as she did my dogs. All I can say is you’d be lucky to have her. She’s a true blessing.”
“Barbara always takes such good care of our dogs! She stayed at our house this time and did a wonderful job. We love receiving the regular updates she sends. We know Dixie and Cupid are in great hands with Barbara!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Jennifer was great. She did a fantastic job explaining everything and caring for our dog and cat. She was a great communicator, keeping us updated and sending pictures throughout our vacation. We would definitely recommend her and have already booked her again for our next trip.”
“She was amazing! House under construction, my schedule was chaos and i started my day at 6 am. She was flexible, able to handle construction workers and a dog in a bare bones house, and worked with me when i ended up being 4 hours late. Absolutely a repeat customer”
About: Fortunately I have a circle of friends who are also pet owners, because of this I have been given the opportunity to care for both cats and dogs. As a pet owner myself, I have seen everything under the sun when it comes to pet care. I am a copywriter who works from home so I am available to care for your bet. Also, your pet is probably going to help me look away from the screen :) From the 2 senior chihuahuas I have, to my past experience in caring for other people's pets, I feel comfortable caring for many different animals no matter the size. From pitbulls, to yorkies, and even cats. As someone with 2 senior pets, no task is too big or too tedious!
“Emily did an amazing job watching our dogs over the weekend! She was very responsible, reliable, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated and made sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.”
“Matthew did a great job house sitting with our two great danes. He was attentive, had great communication and left the house in a great state when we returned. Matthew made sure the dogs got their walks in and was mindful of the heat which was perfect.”
Place One pet parents share their Rover experiences
Maria was great with our babies. She shared sweet pictures and was super communicative with us while we were gone. One of our girls can get really nervous when it’s stormy, and she did a great job working with her. We appreciated her patience and understanding. We would gladly use Maria again!
Jessica was amazing with our dogs. She was very patient With our great dane who is not sure of new people sometimes. Both are our dogs were calm and happy when we came back which shows what a great job jessica did. She Followed all the house and dog instructions and we would hire her again in future for our pups. She was a delight to work with.
Lina took care of my dog and cat for two weeks while I was away, and I’m very grateful for all her help. She was sweet, caring, communicative, and clearly gave my pets a lot of attention and love while I was gone. My dog can be a little anxious and high maintenance at times, and she was very patient with him throughout the stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing my babies were safe and cared for. Thank you again, Lina 😊
Emily was amazing and took great care of my black lab mix, Sadie. Sadie is 5 YO - I’ve had her 1.5 years and I’m her 4th home, so that poor little girl has PTSD when it comes to meeting new people. Emilie got Sadie to warm up to her and I could tell from the pictures she sent that Sadie was very happy and well cared for — and she got her much loved walks!! Emily was also extremely respectful of my home and left it immaculate. I highly, highly recommend Emily!!!
Reem was absolutely fantastic. She took wonderful care of our 3-year-old golden retriever, and he was happy and clearly well looked after when we returned. She also did an excellent job with our home, leaving everything in perfect order. Her communication throughout the stay was clear, consistent, and reassuring. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation without any worries, knowing everything was in great hands. Reem truly went above and beyond, and we would happily book her again. Highly recommend!
Penny is the absolute best you could hope for. She loved our babies like we do and that's the most we could ask for. She's wise, smart, fun and very good at caretaking. Definitely recommended and will have her over again soon. Thx Penny, Blitz Tucker Willow and Daisy say " thank you! " ♥️♥️♥️♥️
We love Wendy! She did such an amazing job caring for our pups and communicating with us regularly. We loved all the photos she sent and our dogs had the best time. They were actually sad when she left! Wendy was very thoughtful, kind, and caring during her stay. We will absolutely be using her for future dog sittings! Thank you, Wendy!
