Everything went smoothly from start to finish. Our dog was well cared for, and Logan was very understanding and accommodating when our travel plans changed and we needed to extend his stay. Highly recommend.

Kelcy was great with our 3 pups while we were out of town! She gave us frequent updates of how they were doing and we came home to our house just as we left it. We will definitely be using Kelcy again soon!

Tuan went above and beyond! Very responsive, and loving with our pets. Went away for over a week and Tuan took special care of our dog and cat. With loving updates we felt so comfortable that they were in the best of hands. Looking forward to our next sitting with Tuan!

Adrian took great care of my older pup (14.5 years!) during a few overnight stays. I received updates on her eating and was asked questions if she didn't eat or clarifications on my very long instruction list. This was the first time leaving my pup in a year and a half and I felt confident leaving to Adrian.

Alec has watched my 2 dogs twice when I've gone out of town and has been great! He kept me up to date with pics of the dogs and updates throughout the day. He maintained their regular walking schedule and even took my more energetic pup on extra walks. Both times I've come home to 2 happy dogs and I would definitely book him again in the future.

About: I’m a reliable and active pet sitter who enjoys spending time with animals and keeping them engaged. I’m consistent with routines like feeding, walks, and playtime, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. Whether your dog needs exercise or your pet just needs company and care, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I take pride in being responsible, communicative, and treating every pet like it’s my own. I have a flexible schedule and can consistently make time for pet care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, including weekends. Being active, I enjoy spending time outside with dogs, but I also make sure all pets get the attention, routine, and care they need to stay comfortable and happy. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications if needed, and any specific care details. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment and never left unattended in unsafe situations. I pay attention to behavior and keep owners updated so they feel confident their pet is in good hands.

About: Hello! My name is Avery, and I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. I currently have three cats that I care for daily, which has given me strong hands on experience with pet needs and routines. I also volunteered for two years at the Helen Woodward Animal Center, where I helped clean, care for, and provide attention to animals of many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. This experience allowed me to become comfortable working with a wide variety of pets. In addition, many of the families I babysit for have one to three dogs, so I am very familiar with managing and caring for multiple pets alongside other responsibilities. I am responsible, hardworking, and highly organized, and I always follow instructions carefully. Most importantly, I will care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I also provide regular updates, so you can feel confident and at ease while you are away. I can’t wait to work with you!! 😁🩷☮️ I recently got lad off my job due to the restaurant I worked for going through rebranding and remodeling so I have a lot of time on my hands! I am a college student who does mostly online school the only place I ahve to be during the week is a cermaics class Monday and Wednesdays 9:30am-1:30pm. Other than that I have a completely open schedule. I am very flexible I ca do early morning or late nights whatever is needed! I have three cats who are all really well cared for. They get along great and keep each other company, which I think makes them really happy. I make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting lots of attention every day. One thing I like to use is a Tractive GPS collar because it helps me keep track of where they are and even their sleep patterns, which is really helpful for making sure they’re safe and doing well.

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I genuinely love animals and have spent years around pets of all kinds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Caring for pets isn’t something I treat as a side task—it’s something I take seriously and personally. I pay close attention to each dog’s routine, personality, and comfort level, making sure they feel safe, calm, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m patient, observant, and dependable, and I communicate clearly so owners always feel confident their pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine now that I no longer work remotely. I have dedicated availability and flexibility to focus fully on pets throughout the day, allowing me to provide attentive care, regular walks, playtime, feedings, and check-ins without distractions. This schedule lets me be present, reliable, and responsive to each pet’s needs rather than fitting care around a work-from-home schedule. I care for pets with the same attention and respect whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home, always following the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I stick to feeding schedules, walking routines, playtime, and rest periods to keep pets comfortable and reduce stress. I keep their environment clean and safe, provide plenty of affection and supervision, and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly address any concerns and keep owners informed.

I needed a some what last minute house/dog-sitter after mine cancelled a week before my wedding. I cannot say enough, how kind, thorough and flexible Jessica was through the entire process. As a first time Rover user, I didn’t know anything about the logistics or best practices. Jessica patiently walked me through all of it. Her calm, sweet energy won my pups over very quickly and she was very cognizant of my male dogs allergies and health issues throughout her time with them. She kept me up to date with photos and messages and reassured me step by step that my pups were in good hands. I’ve never let a stranger watch my dogs before, but felt completely comfortable by the time I had to leave. I will definitely use Jessica in the future, she was amazing!

I’m so grateful we found Terra! She took excellent care of our girl—I could tell in all the photos she sent that my dog felt safe and happy. She was conscientious in her questions to ensure she gave Koa the right care, and I came back to a spotless home! I can’t recommend Terra enough, and we certainly hope she hangs out with Koa again in the future.

Vivian was amazing with our 2 big dogs. She did a drop in visit the week before coming to watch our girls for 4 days. While on our trip we got lots of photos and updates and after the first text we knew the girls were having fun. When we got home, I noticed how silky their coats were from all the brushings they got while Vivian was here. They were happy to see us, but they still go to check out the room where Vivian was sleeping to see if maybe she’s still here. It’s unanimous that we will be using her to sit again.

About: Hi, I’m Jasmine! I’ve been caring for animals my entire life—dogs, cats, hamsters, bunnies, birds, reptiles—you name it, I’ve loved and looked after them. I currently have three playful dogs and three curious cats of my own, so I truly understand how much love, attention, and individualized care our furry family members need. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals. Even shy or anxious pets tend to gravitate toward me, including those who usually don’t warm up to people right away. Friends often joke that I’m a “pet magnet” because animals seem to instinctively trust me. I bring a calm, comforting energy into every space, and I know how to read each pet’s body language and respond in a way that makes them feel safe, respected, and loved. For over a decade, I’ve been trusted by families to dog-sit, cat-sit, and house-sit, and I treat every home and animal like they’re my own. Whether it’s a fun day at the dog beach, a peaceful nature walk, or just keeping a pet company while you’re away, I’m fully committed to making sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable. In addition to everyday care, I also have hands-on experience with medical needs. I’ve administered oral medications, topical treatments, and even insulin shots for diabetic dogs. I’ve cared for senior pets with mobility issues and given special attention to animals recovering from surgery. I once even helped a stray cat through labor and safely delivered her kittens! You can trust that I’ll handle any special needs with patience, confidence, and compassion. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life—it’s not just something I do, it’s part of who I am. As a pet parent to three dogs and three cats, my days already revolve around feeding, walking, playtime, enrichment, and cuddles. Whether I’m home or out and about, I always make time for animal care. My flexible schedule allows me to give each pet I care for the attention they deserve, whether it’s a morning walk, an overnight stay, or midday check-ins. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my daily and weekly routine feels easy, joyful, and second nature. I have a spacious, fully fenced yard that’s ideal for zoomies, sunbathing, fetch, or just some fresh-air lounging. It’s also perfect for quick potty breaks—but don’t worry, walks are always part of our routine! Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, I focus on creating a warm, comforting environment. I tailor each day to their needs, with a healthy mix of play, snuggles, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and balanced. If I’m in your home, I’ll stick closely to your pet’s routine so they feel secure and at ease in their space. No matter where we are, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and completely cared for.

Logan did a great job. He is very prompt, responsive and courteous from our meet and greet to the actual dog sitting. We came in from out of town and booked him to watch our little dog while we attended a funeral. She’s not the friendliest. He did a great job. If we are ever back in town we would hire him again. We highly recommend.

Van Nhi was a great dog and house sitter! She watched over our dog for 2 weeks and sent us photo updates daily. She went above and beyond by taking her on more than the number of walks we usually do and also taking her on hikes. Our dog can be shy but she quickly adjusted to Van Nhi. We will definitely book her again!

So bottom line one of my dogs was a jerk. She had a history of separation anxiety that for whatever reason decided to re emerge during Avery’s stay. Avery was great at communicating and dealt with my dogs antics for 5 days. She was a great house guest leaving it exactly as she found it and even put the sheets and towels she used in the wash. No other sitter has ever done that. She probably will never want to watch our dogs again (and I don’t blame her) but would 100% rebook with any future needs.
