“John was an awesome pupsitter and we would definitely hire him again! He was communicative, thorough, and very attentive to our 2 dogs over the course of the week that he watched them. Highly recommend him!”
“What can I say? Destiny was amazing! She provided plenty of updates and pics, was super patient and attentive with both my pets (who both took to her VEYR quickly) and she even left the house in better condition than when she arrived! Destiny went above and beyond. I'd give more than 5 stars of I could!”
“Sergey was great! We hired him for house/dog sitting while we were away for a long weekend and he made it so easy for us. The dogs liked him, and he clearly gave them a lot of attention. When we came home the house was spotless. You would have had no idea someone had been staying there for 4 days. He was very easy to get ahold of, and followed up a few days before the booking to confirm and schedule a second meet & greet. Would absolutely recommend.”
“Bret accepted our short notice booking and stopped by for a meet & greet before we headed out for a weekend trip, which was great. Our pets are currently pretty low maintenance but it was important for us to have someone stay the weekend while we had some R&R. We’d have Bret back on a future vacation.”
“Jessica was punctual and easy to communicate with (before and during), sharing pics of our dogs almost immediately to reassure us that all was well. Jessica was also very attentive to our dogs' individual needs, including separation anxiety and caution towards new people. Thank you!”
“Megan was our house sitter and cared for our two dogs and a cat for a long weekend. She was great - the puppies and kitty were well cared for and the house was perfect when we got home. Everyone was happy. 💕 We’ll ask Megan to come back again. Thanks!”
“Madeleine was great! She communicated with me while I was gone about my dog and daily activities. She also left the house spotless and washed the sheets and towels. I will definitely use her again to watch my dog and house sit:)”
“Ryan was amazing!! Wonderful communicator!! Sent pics and kept me updated which makes me feel such comfort! House was left even cleaner than I left it too. Such a kind person I can’t wait to book again! Thank you!!”
“Viva is the best dog sitter!!! Our boys have such a wonderful connection with her and while we miss them when we are away, we never worry about them. She always sends the best pictures and videos, too! 15/10!”
“Lydia was fabulous with my two dogs and cat. She was very responsive and the dogs seemed to really enjoy spending time with her! She was in constant contact an sent pictures frequently which was appreciated as we miss our pets!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.
“Elise was so caring and supportive of our pup, Juniper! She provided us with really lovely photos and updates, and clearly made Juniper feel safe and loved. We highly recommend her!”
“Ashton was a great sitter for our dog and cat while we traveled out of town for a few days. My dog can be a bit anxious so it’s always a bit nerve wrecking leaving her with someone else but Ashton was up for the challenge and my anxious girl warmed right up to her. She even made an extra trip over during the day when my dog was having a little bit of a panic moment. Will definitely use her again!”
“Nishat was very accommodating considering we kept on changing the plan for the time we were leaving the day she was coming. She always takes great care of our animals!”
“Samantha was incredible! She was so wonderful with the animals, flexible when plans changed and we needed to adapt, and so kind, responsible, and a great communicator and pet photographer 😂❤️ We are so thankful and grateful for her!!”
“We had an excellent experience with Courtney. She sent us daily photos and updates, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs received regular exercise and plenty of attention, and it was clear our cat was comfortable and well cared for as well. We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a well-maintained home. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, attentive pet care.”
“Lynne was absolutely wonderful while housesitting for our very picky and high needs cat. I had zero worries while we were away and Winnie was treated like the princess she thinks she is. Highly, highly recommend Lynne for your pet sitting needs!”

We had to leave town unexpectedly, and Jenna jumped in to help us on very short notice, which we were incredibly grateful for. Our dog Jun is a pretty anxious boy, so we were definitely nervous leaving him with someone without all of us meeting in person first, but Jenna immediately made us feel comfortable. She was super responsive, communicative, and thoughtful the whole time. Jun looked relaxed and comfy in the photos she sent, which really eased a lot of our stress while we were away. When we got back, he looked happy, healthy, and very well taken care of. Really grateful for how quickly she stepped in and took such great care of our furry boy. We’d absolutely book with her again.
Erin was absolutely wonderful and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for a full week. She took incredible care of our two greyhounds and cat, kept up with all of their routines, and was extremely thoughtful and attentive the entire stay. We especially appreciated the regular photo and text updates — it made it so much easier to relax knowing everyone was happy, comfortable, and loved. She also took amazing care of our home, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond with little details like refreshing frozen Kongs, washing linens, and making sure the dogs were settled before leaving. One of our dogs has separation anxiety and had an accident while Erin was out, and she handled it with total kindness and understanding. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and pays attention to their personalities and needs. We came home to happy pets and a well cared-for house and would absolutely book with her again.
Madeleine is kind and caring with My cocker spaniel. She grew up with animals, including a cocker, so she knew just what my dog needed. I have many items in the daily routine, and she tried to make it work. She’s very loving with him. And since this was also a house sit, Madeleine made a great effort to Clean up bedroom, bathroom, and kitchen. I would recommend her without reservation.
Emily was great with our 3 dogs, fish, and bearded dragon while we were away for two weeks! I felt at ease the entirety of our trip with her watching our animals. She kept us updated with pictures and was available if we needed to contact her. I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again
Alyson spent two weeks house/pet sitting for us while we were traveling around Japan and we came home to a happy dog and spotless house! She is wonderful to work with and navigated a tricky situation that came up involving a neighbor’s dog (dog inappropriately on our property, 100% neighbor’s fault) perfectly. We highly recommend her services and she is someone you can trust!
Sara did a great job when she watched our 8 year old dog Boots at our house. She sent us pics of Boots doing his routine walk and relaxing with her in the house. Sara was willing to do the two daily walks we requested, and Boots seemed his usual happy self when we returned. As well, the house was left in good condition. We would use Sara again if our schedules lined up and we recommend her as someone who is responsible and connects well with dogs.
I am actually writing this review before the sitting is entirely complete but she has gone above and beyond and been absolutely spectacular. We went on a two week trip and on the first day one of our dogs bit our other dog, something that had never happened before. She handled it calmly and professionally and worked through these problems. She’s exceptional! I’m not sure she would want to come work for us again considering this crisis she had to navigate but I would recommend her to anyone!
It is always a pleasure to have Bryan house sit our dog, Piper! He provides us with complete peace of mind that she is being treated like a queen. We absolutely love the updates he gives us when we are away, which always makes us feel like we are up to date on their adventures together! He even graciously offered to do an additional walk last minute when our originally planned dog walker cancelled. Thank you as always for all of your care and attention for our best friend!
Destiny was great with Max and Molly! She sent lots of lovely photos and videos, gave detailed updates showing genuine interest and concern for our dogs, and treated the house with care and respect. She is extremely thorough and detail conscious, which helps make you very comfortable trusting the care of your beloved pets to her. Highly recommended!
We’ve worked with Jackiellen before and she’s been great with our furry guy every time. He can be anxious, and she’s always been patient, calm, and really understanding with him. It gives us a lot of peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who genuinely cares and knows how to make him comfortable in his own space. We’ll definitely keep working with her again!!!
Johanna did an excellent job taking care of my senior dog GiGi! She is very responsible and reliable. Johanna is lovely. Another Rover house sitter, whom I had booked months in advance of my prepaid resort vacation, was unable to fulfill her obligation- just one week prior to my departure. Johanna was a lifesaver! She immediately accepted the house sitting job. GiGi is very particular about her daily schedule and Johanna had no problem following all the detailed instructions. I came home to a very happy pooch and a house in perfect order- just as I’d left it. I’m about to book her for another upcoming trip. I know I’ll have peace of mind leaving my dog and house in her care. I highly recommend Johanna!
We were so at peace leaving our dogs and home to Erin while we went away. The dogs bonded with her instantly which made for smooth transition when leaving and returning. She gave our dogs lots of love and adapted to each of their personalities - would recommend!
