“We felt at ease when Emily stayed with our 10 month old great dane pup and 7 year old Border Aussie. I got pictures everyday we were gone and the dogs were happy and relaxed when we got home. Bonus points for the house being clean when we got home! We are hopeful to have Emily care for our pets and home again!”

She kept me updated, consistently checked in regarding my travel plans to support with care, provided quality care and walks and snuggles to my furbabies. I am so grateful for Kaylynn and will definitely hire her again for future pet sitting needs.”

About: I've had my dog 15+ years and fostered dogs for many years before that. My dog Snork and I take 3 walks a day and comes with me to work each day. I love my little guy! Since Snork is a senior dog and he can't walk as far as he used to, I'm looking for more opportunities to walk and enjoy dogs! I currently work a 9-5 job so I'm able to care for your pet after 5:30pm on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I would consider some mornings on a short term basis. I would prefer to care for your pet from your home; however, in some cases, I can care for a pet in my home. I have a fenced in backyard and live near a wooded walking path.

“Douglas was such a great dog sitter! Being new to the area and looking for a new dog sitter I decided to try rover for the first time and was not disappointed. He treated my dog like his own and sent tons of photo updates so I never had to worry! He even went above and beyond and watched my dog for an extra half day when my flight got delayed so he wouldn’t have to be home alone. Definitely the best dog sitter we’ve had!”

It was nice to know that the animals had someone reliable and attentive looking after them while we were away, and that they could stay where they were comfiest, at home! He handled all of our (and our pets) needs wonderfully and we would gladly have him sit for us again.”

About: Animals of all shapes and sizes have always loved me, and I love them too! I grew up with small and medium dogs in my home and have taken care of cats my entire adult life as both a parent and sitter. As a child, I had fish, lizards, and hamsters. If you've got a critter you need taken care of, I'm your guy! Pet care is woven into the rhythm of my day. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to be present for all the little moments—morning walks, midday play breaks, and evening wind-down cuddles. I start my day with a walk or some outdoor time, which helps both me and my pets get energized. Throughout the day, I schedule short breaks to check in on them, refresh water bowls, offer treats, or just share a few minutes of affection. Safety is my top priority. I want you to feel safe putting your pet(s) in my hands and I take this responsibility very seriously; I will treat your pet as if it were my own and pledge to keep in close contact with you throughout my service.

About: I have personal experience taking care of (walking, bathing, feeding, enrichment, training) all animals and love to do it. Professionally, I’ve worked at doggy daycares, other dog-walking and pet-sitting apps, and volunteered to assist with puppy births. My experience is mostly with dogs; however, I have taken care of cats and more! I work a full-time job, but my hours are flexible which means I have days I am in-office or at home and I do not work weekends. It is very easy for me to leave work to provide pet care and return later that day or make-up hours later in the week. I am very gentle with animals and the safety of pets and those around them comes first - always. I plan to keep the pet comfortable and enriched. It is very easy to follow a schedule and routine for medications, bathroom breaks, bedtimes, and playtime. I pay close attention to details and take the time to learn pet behaviors to ensure they get the best care.

Marina watched over our anxious menagerie of cats and dogs while we went away to celebrate our anniversary. She followed all of the instructions I left behind regarding pet care and provided texts and photo updates. She communicated any questions or concerns, too. We came home to happy, relaxed animals and a home that had been well looked after. I will book Marina again for future pet sitting. I definitely recommend her!

Kristen was wonderful! She took excellent care of Pepper and Merlin while we were away. She was attentive to their routines, followed all medication instructions, and made sure they received plenty of attention and quality time. Communication was great throughout, and she kept me informed, which gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. She even went above and beyond by bringing in packages that arrived while we were away. Most importantly, I came home to two happy pups! I would absolutely book with Kristen again and highly recommend her!

I recently had Estella watch my dog, Levi, for a full week, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Levi is an overly anxious, high‑energy, and sometimes reactive dog, so leaving him with someone new is never easy for me. Estella handled him beautifully. He seemed calm, comfortable, and well‑cared‑for the entire time. Her communication throughout the week made a huge difference. Because of her thoughtful check‑ins, I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation. When I returned home, my house was in perfect shape, and Levi looked great. I highly recommend Estella to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and capable pet sitter. She gave me peace of mind and took wonderful care of my boy.

I can’t say enough great things about our McKenzie! Leaving your pets behind is never easy, but knowing they were loved and cared for gave me complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs and cats were so well taken care of, and it was obvious they were treated like family. We received updates, photos, and could tell they were happy, comfortable, and in great hands. It’s such a relief to come home to pets that are relaxed and a house that feels like everything was handled with care. If you’re looking for someone who is dependable, trustworthy, and truly loves animals, I highly recommend her! We will absolutely be using her again and again!
