“Grace was so wonderful about booking way ahead and professionally checking in as we got closer to the date. She also was awesome about handling an unusual booking where we were in and out of the house the whole time. She played and rested with Makkachin, who was happy and calm when she left.”
“Naomi has done drop in visits and also house sitting for us several times and our fur babies always seem very happy and well taken care of. Can’t say enough nice things about her!”
“Isa is an amazing sitter! She took care of my 3 kitties and house while I was away and kept me updated the whole time. My skittish cats warmed up to her right away! Would definitely book her again.”
“I'm so grateful to find Anna on Rover! She is very sweet and communicates really well which is very important to me when someone is with my babies! I highly recommend Anna if you need a pet sitter. She will really take the time to understand your pets needs.”
“Alainna was very friendly, enthusiastic, communicative and thorough as she prepared to meet Makkachin for the first time. She sent me photos and updates throughout the day. She was friendly to Makka and such a dog person, and offered play and walks, though Makka was more interested in a chill, sleepy day as she often is during first meetings. Alainna respected that too. Would definitely use her again!”
“He was fantastic! Super good with our pets, and gave lots of updates and pictures. We felt safe and comfortable with him caring for our animals and being in our home.”
“I will definitely book Celeste again to take care of Sadie. I really like that Celeste is familiar with the temperament of Yorkies.Sadie was well taken care of and enjoyed her play time and snuggling up with Celeste. She seemed calm and peaceful when I came home and the place was clean and tidy. No accidents on the floor like a previous sitter had left.”
“Anna did an excellent job caring for our two golden doodles, on short notice no less. She came right over after I contacted her to meet the dogs. They treated her like an old friend almost immediately, which told us everything we needed to know. Throughout the week, Anna was punctual, thorough, and kind. She is an excellent communicator, and truly knows how to care for animals. We feel lucky to have found her and will definitely utilize her services again in the future.”
“Heather went above and beyond my expectations! She was great with my dog who can be very nervous and sent tons of pictures throughout the week. Highly recommend!”
“Mollie always has a good time Jadyn. Jadyn is best sitter around! Her photos and follow up on how the stay is going really puts our minds as ease awhile away.”
“This was my first time leaving my new kitten and Mary-Ashlynne was amazing. She texted updates/pictures and eased my anxiety of being away from him. 10/10 will be having her watch him again!”
“Charles was great! Took great care of my dog and kept me updated with pictures daily. Will be booking with him again in the future!”
“They were amazing to work with!”
“Joseph is an amazing dog sitter. He took care of our two “pups” while we were away for a week’s vacation. Our dogs were happy and well cared for during our absence. The pictures Joseph sent showed how comfortable and happy they were. I jokingly told him that the dogs looked so content they probably wouldn’t care if we came back!!! If you are considering Joseph for any type of pet care, you can’t hire anyone better. I will happily have him care for our two dogs again.”
About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!
“Walker was great! Sent many pictures and was very communicative. Thank you for watching bugsy”
“Sophia is a jewel. She was great with Lovey my mini Sheepadoodle. Lovey’s used to a lot of attention and is a little on the skiddish side. But they did great together. Sophia is responsible and very engaged. I returned home after 5 days and she had gotten my mail, met up a plumber I had to call and most important Lovey was happy . No issues at all. She ate every meal from day one which never happens. I will absolutely be calling Sophia again!!”
“Amber is so good with our Lucky! It's nice to know we don't have to worry. Amber is very responsible and also always leaves the house looking good.”
“Christian did a great job with my dog Cash. Cash is a very mellow, older dog. He was not feeling that well the day Christian came to stay, but he seemed better when I got back home.”
About: Hello! My name is Alayna and I am currently looking for a fun way to make a little extra money aside from my full time job. I grew up with multiple dogs and I have always adored working with, playing with, and taking care them. I'm always excited to meet a new dog and interact with them. I'm outgoing, energetic, and reliable. Also, if your dog has special needs, I will do my very best to accommodate! :) I work full time so my availability is limited to weekends. I work for a school so when we have breaks, I may be available during those times as well! My Availability (times outside of my availability can be discussed) Fridays: 5pm - 9pm Saturdays: 8am - 10pm Sundays: 9am - 5pm I live in an apartment complex but it has plenty of yard space. If your pet has special needs or accommodations, feel free to message and we can discuss how to ensure your pet is most comfortable and happy :)

Great care for Raven. I really appreciate you and knowing my pets are being cared for while on vacation. Gives me piece of mind.
Celeste was wonderful! Dog well cared for and house in order! We don’t travel much but she will be our go to when we do
Grace was so wonderful about booking way ahead and professionally checking in as we got closer to the date. She also was awesome about handling an unusual booking where we were in and out of the house the whole time. She played and rested with Makkachin, who was happy and calm when she left.
Mary-Ashlynne is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had from Rover! She took care of our two dogs like they were her own- giving one of our shy beagles special attention and affection. She fed them, walked them, snuggled them, and played with them, going above and beyond what we asked of her. And not only did she look after our two dogs, she also cared for our small flock of ducks and chickens! Her communication was exceptional. She gave us lots of updates, sent us pictures every day, and reached out for clarification when needed. Mary-Ashlynne left our house just as we left it and was tidy with all the pet food, dishes, and chicken supplies. She is a kind and thoughtful pet sitter and our animals thoroughly enjoyed their time with her. We will definitely be booking jobs with her moving forward 10/10!!
Ashley was great with our two dogs, gave us updates and reached out quickly any time she had a concern! Would absolutely use her again.
Amanda did a wonderful job caring for all our critters. She looked after our dogs, chickens and ducks doing all the chores, walks and more. She was kind to the animals and very communicative with us about everyone. The house was in tidy when we got home and we couldn’t be more pleased. Amanda is a great pet sitter and we will definitely be repeat customers!
Isa helped on short notice and our dog, who can be temperamental sometimes, took to Isa right away. We’ll definitely hire her again.
Heather was awesome! My husband and I recently moved here and have a rescue that’s quite nervous of new people. Heather was patient and calm and met her a few times before sitting. She took her sensitivities in stride and gave her space the first few days. My rescue warmed up to her really quick! She did a great job of keeping with communication everyday and sent pictures of each of my animals each day. We will definitely be using her again in the future as all 4 of my girls LOVED her.
Ella is an absolute pleasure to work with our two dogs absolutely loved her she stayed at the house with the pups for five days we came home and the dogs were very happy healthy. and she also made sure the house was clean for when we got back. We will absolutely be using her again. Highly recommend her very satisfied pups and fur baby owners if I could leave more then 5 starts we would
This is the second time Lillian has stayed at my house to watch my dog. She always leaves my place clean and takes good care of Frankie!
Marissa was great with my Bowzer! I needed a last minute sitter and she took amazing care of my pup during the holidays!!!
