“Caring, loving, thoughtful! Kirstin was a godsend when we traveled overseas and took care of our dogs. She kept us informed through WhatsApp. We so appreciated her loving care for our dogs.”
“Abby did an excellent job caring caring for my little dog. She treated him with love and kindness and followed my directions to a T. She sent pictures and notes about how their day went. I will definitely ask her again.”
“Alexus was great. First time using rover for us. She came over and met the dogs beforehand and they did great with her. She kept in regular contact and sent us a bunch of pictures. The dogs seem to like her and we will definitely be asking her first if we need anyone in the future to watch Rylie and Sydney”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. Although I currently live in a small apartment and can’t have pets of my own right now, pet sitting gives me the chance to spend time doing something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly dog sit for a married couple whenever they travel out of town, and I also cat sit for a woman who lives in an apartment. I have experience feeding, watering, walking, playing with pets, giving medications, and making sure animals feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pet needs lots of playtime and attention or a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to provide loving care you can trust. I’m a teacher, which means I have the entire summer off and plenty of time to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule for drop-ins, walks, overnight stays, and pet sitting. Once the school year begins again, I’d still love to continue working with returning clients and their pets in the evenings, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I truly enjoy caring for animals and getting to know their owners. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I’m attentive, dependable, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I’m respectful of clients’ homes and understand how important trust is when someone is caring for your pets. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a calm presence, I’m patient and happy to adapt to their individual personality and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.
“Marikita was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took excellent care of our two dogs and took extra care to keep them in their normal routines while we were away. We were kept in the loop with detailed updates every day and plenty of pictures. I really feel like we received top level service, and I never worried about our pups. I would definitely recommend working with Marikita!”
About: Hello fellow animal lovers! There's nothing quite like the unconditional love and joy they bring into our lives, and getting to care for them is something I treasure. With over 10 years of hands-on experience in extended overnight pet care, I bring a level of dedication and reliability that goes beyond the basics. My background in pediatrics and childcare has given me transferable skills in patience, attentiveness, and routine-building, all of which translate seamlessly into providing exceptional care for your pets. I am comfortable with animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience handling complex medical needs including administering medication, applying topical treatments, and accommodating specialized dietary requirements. Whether you have a curious puppy, a playful kitten, or a senior pet with unique needs, I approach every animal with patience and genuine love. When I house-sit, I treat your home with the same respect I'd want for my own. I'll handle day-to-day household tasks such as collecting mail and packages, taking out the trash, and keeping things tidy so you return to a clean, welcoming home, and happy, well cared for pets. I welcome last-minute and short-notice bookings, as I understand life doesn't always go as planned, and I'm happy to step in whenever you need me. I follow your instructions closely and will always go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home. At the end of the day, I'm not just a sitter, I'm someone who will love your pets like my own, and that's a promise. While I work a standard 8-4 weekday schedule, my schedule is designed to give your pet consistent attention throughout the day. During the week, I'm available for walks and check-ins in the early morning before work, over my lunch break, and in the evenings. For overnight stays, I'm fully available on weekdays as well — just keep in mind I'll be away from 8–4, with a check-in over lunch. Weekends are completely open, giving me full flexibility for longer visits, overnights, or anything else your pet needs. Whether I'm house-sitting, walking your dog, or stopping in for a check-in, your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priority. I treat every client's home with the utmost respect. I'm there to care for your pet and maintain your space, not disrupt it. During house-sitting stays, I follow your established routines as closely as possible to keep your pet feeling secure and at ease in their own environment. I'll ensure doors, gates, and any containment areas are secure at all times, and I always keep emergency contact information and your vet's details on hand should anything come up. For dog walks, I keep dogs leashed and under close supervision at all times, paying attention to their comfort level and energy throughout the walk. I never push a dog beyond what they're comfortable with and always make sure they're safely returned home before I leave. For in-home check-ins, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food per your instructions, and plenty of attention before I go. I'll always leave your home exactly as I found it and provide updates so you have peace of mind while you're away. I do not offer boarding in my own home, so your pet gets the benefit of staying in the comfort of their own familiar environment — which is often the least stressful option for them.
“Chelsea is amazing! My husky Maddy just loves her and my dog is usually a little timid and shy. I rely on Chelsea many times when I'm in a bind and she's always willing to help me out. Thank you so much!”
“Audrey is very friendly and an excellent communicator. She confirmed all appointments we set prior to the pet sitting dates and sent daily messages when we were away. She also sent pictures knowing we enjoy seeing the pups even when we’re gone. Audrey left the house very clean including running laundry and the dishwasher upon her departure. I hope to use Audrey’s services many times again in the future!”
“Ashley took good care of our dog and our daughter's dog who was here for a visit. We got regular updates and great pictures of dogs hanging out and dogs playing. We will ask Ashley to look after Geordi again.”
“Sarah was great with communication! She stayed at our house for a few nights and took wonderful care of both the pups and our home. Will definitely rebook for future dog sitting!”
“Hannah is phenomenal. Super friendly, punctual and professional. Scout is super timid and he took to her immediately and actually gave her a hug on her second sitting appointment, which he never does. I highly recommend her!!”
“Kristin was AMAZING!! Sent photos/updates daily. When I got home, my house was clean and my animals looked well taken care of. Would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“Avery did a great job watching our pets. We had her stay overnight and our house and pets were very well cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to her next time we are out of town.”
“Nathan took extra care with our very senior pup (14+, fragile condition) and they got along well during his overnight stay at our home. He’s very conscientious, read our instructions in advance and asked good questions to learn more or get clarity. We came home to a calm pup and tidy home. We hope we have Coco long enough to have Nathan sit with her again!”
“Carissa was great - took great care of my 4-year old dog. He's absolutely my baby and she was so responsive to all of my requests for him. She sent me pictures and ensured he had a great time while I was gone. The trip was very last-minute, and I was sick in the lead-up. Carissa was flexible and responsive in scheduling a meet and greet with him. While I was away, she followed all of my requests and sent pictures so I could check in on him. Overall, she was excellent and I will absolutely be checking in with her the next time I'm out of town!”
Porter Ridge pet parents share their Rover experiences
Daryn was very sweet and very responsible. She was on time for both the initial interview and time of dog-sitting time which helped me leave for trip on time. She was very responsive to questions and specific needs of my dogs. In initial interview she had good questions also. My dogs seem to be very comfortable either her right away. She kept me informed. My place was just the way I left it. I would definitely use her against n!
When we reached out for service, Kassidy immediately responded. Our meet & greet went well giving us confidence that she would take good care of Beau & Lucy. When we were gone, we received many photos & good reports. Kassidy even took on the task of caring for Beau’s chronic ear problem, which is not a joyful thing to do! She was outstanding & was very reasonable with her daily rate.
Kirstin and my dog, Winnie, got along great!! My dog is seven years old, and we've never used a dog sitter besides my mom until now, so I was extra nervous and very cautious. Kirstin was a true professional, and we would (and already have) recommend her to our friends and family! She was on time, organized, honest, and followed all of our care instructions. Kirstin administered Winnie’s multiple medications exactly as directed. My family truly enjoyed all of Kirstin’s photo updates, and Winnie enjoyed all the walks, snuggles, and pets!! Winnie hopes Kirstin will be back for more sleepovers soon! We had specific “hand-off” instructions for Kirstin, like leaving the porch light on and where to leave the key, etc., and Kirstin followed all instructions to a T, making my life a breeze! Thanks, Kirstin!!
I would leave 10 Stars if I could! Elizabeth took amazing care of our three dogs and a cat! After meeting her for the first time I knew she was the person I could trust with my pets. She is professional in all respects. All the dogs reacted calmly when introduced to her. She goes above and beyond what is normally expected. My dogs are very active and require exercise and a lot of attention. Both of those conditionals were met with Elizabeth exercising them twice a day. She is trustworthy, caring, and followed our dog schedule perfectly. Elizabeth showed her ability to handle situations when ants invaded our house. We were able to rid the house of ants with the help of a neighbor and Elizabeth keeping the dogs clear of any toxic over spray. I am so thankful for her taking care of issues when they arise. Communications with Elizabeth were excellent as she was in contact everyday. Upon our return, we found our house clean and devoid of mountains of dog hair. It is so comforting to know you can leave the country and know that your pets are receiving the best care possible. I highly recommend Elizabeth for taking care of any pet.
Emilia did an excellent job taking care of our two cats/house-sitting for three+ weeks. She did not hesitate to ask questions and shared detailed updates with us. When we got back, the cats were happy, the house was so clean, and we could not have asked for a more caring and responsible person to help us out. Thank you Emilia!
Jennifer was amazing with our 3 set-in-their-ways pooches. She got them walked and fed as instructed and went above the bar to snuggle them and do extra chores around the house while we were gone all week! We had no worries as she sent check-in messages and photos to let us know everything was going well. Would highly recommend her!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Ashley was an AMAZING sitter!! She stayed over for 4 nights to take care of my two cats and did a fantastic job. She frequently kept me updated and sent many pictures of the kitties! I get really anxious leaving my cats at home with someone else but Ashley totally eased my anxiety and allowed me to travel with peace of mind. One of my cats is not very outgoing with strangers but warmed up to her very quick! She was great about asking questions about their care and routine and communicating her schedule very transparently. I will definitely book with her again in the future and recommend her very much to anyone! Thank you so much for the wonderful care Ashley!!!
