“Jason was wonderful, patient with our anxious dogs. We lost both our sitters as they moved. So we’re working on finding new sitters. At first our little one was very scared and vicious.. Jason gave him treats and won him over in no time. He just stayed the day, but definitely call him again. He’s definitely a dog whisperer.👍💜🐾”

“We’re so happy with Brooke taking care of our fur baby, Maggie Mae! She’s absolutely amazing for overnight stays—we trust her completely in our home, and everything is always just as we left it. On top of that, she’s gone above and beyond for us. While we were away, she graciously was willing to deal with roofers and show them exactly where the leak was—such a huge help! Also, Brooke is incredibly accommodating and understanding, especially when our travel plans shift due to airline delays or cancellations. She sends plenty of pictures (which we love, because we miss our Mags!) and is always super communicative, positive, and reliable. Highly, highly, highly recommend! We are thankful for her.”

“Kailynn watched our dogs while we were out of town at our house for a week. She provided our babies plenty of potty breaks, walks, and snuggles. She sent us some pictures of them also while we were away - which is always nice since we miss them for sure. She kept the house clean and had everything washed and remade for the guestroom when we came home! Will be using her again for sure in the future!”

About: I grew up on a farm. We had lots of cats and dogs and other animals. I’ve always had a strong love for cats and dogs. I currently have one tuxedo cat and she loves to play with other kitty cats. I’ve cared for many sick animals given shots and medication multiple times a day when needed and can be in contact with pet owners throughout the day when needed. I am a professional stock photographer and work out of my home so I have lots of time to dedicate to loving your pet. I work from my Home Office studio as a professional stock photographer, and Marketing Consultant . I can be available for pet care at all days and all times. I have a fenced in backyard if needed. If I’m caring for your pet in my home, I do have a fenced in backyard if that is a requirement
“It’s hard to put into words how thankful we are for the care our dogs received. Leaving your pets with someone else can always be stressful, but from the very beginning we felt completely comfortable and at ease. Stephanie treated our dogs like family, not just animals she were watching, and that meant everything to us. We got updates, pictures, and could genuinely tell our dogs were happy, relaxed, and loved while we were away. Coming home to pets that were calm, healthy, and clearly well cared for says more than anything else could. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. You can tell this isn’t just a job for Stephanie — she truly cares about animals and go above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch their pets.”

“Anthony was great! Took good care of a Denver with lots of walks and trips to our dog park. Very easy to communicate with him , it was nice to know Denver was in good hands. He even sent pictures everyday of her!”

“Heaven has been truly a blessing for both me and Zeus. Very accommodating to fit my schedule. If you are ever in need of her services, you can not go wrong!”

“Taylor and Bruno were fantastic taking care of my cat Shadow. He was happy and well taken care of. Shadow gets stressed when I go away and usually winds up with a bladder infection but Taylor took such great care of him that he had no infection and was calm and stress free. I highly recommend them to watch your fur baby’s.”

“Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!”

“I am SO SO happy to have found Wendy! The dogs love her and so do I. She recently watched the dogs for a week while we were out of state on vacation, and even though I ended up with zero cell service and very spotty WiFi making it nearly impossible for me to reply to her texts, I felt completely confident and comfortable knowing that Wendy was with my babies and that they were in great hands! Thank you for loving them!”


About: I’ve grown up with pets and currently have a 5 year old poodle! He’s the best boy, but I’m sure your pet is great too! I make my own schedule as a piano tuner, so I have the ability to work around your schedule helping your pet whenever you need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to help their pets feel comfortable and secure. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention based on their individual needs. For walks, I use secure leashes and harnesses, stay alert to our surroundings, and avoid unsafe situations to keep your pet safe. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, locking doors and gates, and treating your property with care. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“From the moment Melody walked in to meet our dogs we knew she was going to be great! You can tell she loves dogs and she really cares about them being happy and safe. She was diligent about learning their routine and understanding their needs. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away and both dogs loved her. I highly recommend Melody if you are looking for a responsible, professional, person who genuinely will love your pet.”

“Skye is amazing!! She takes such good care of our guy, is very responsive and always sends pictures! This was the second time she sat for us and we were so happy to have her back!”


About: I have walked different sized and aged dogs while volunteering at the Humane Society. I love high energy dogs because they help make sure I get my exercise for the day 🙂 I strive to provide the best care and give the most time to your dogs. I create plans based on your dog's needs and not vice versa. I know it's important to make sure dogs stay happy while in my care. I monitor your dog's health and update you as soon as I see anything out of the ordinary to ensure everything is running smoothly. I currently work part time. It's easy for me to do walks in the morning and evening and night time and but I am able to board any time of the week as my boyfriend is able to help as well. I have a large fenced yard and live in a quiet street and neighborhood. There is plenty of space to rest and relax and to go for long walks together.
“Hailey is the best! She handled our wild husky so well! She provided us with updates, pictures, and kept us at ease during our trip! She is so nice and courteous and treated our home with care! It’s great to know we have someone we can trust our dog and home with!! Will def be using her again!”

Jason took great care of our 5 dogs and house while we were out of town! The dogs all seemed very comfortable with him. Even the one that is very weary of new people warmed up to him particularly quickly! Jason kept the house clean and was very attentive to all of the dogs needs. He read all the instructions we left for him and followed them to a T. Highly recommend Jason!

Deniz was wonderful with senior dogs. She was very professional yet loving with them, sent me lots of pics which I really appreciated as I missed them. I will definitely rebook with her my next trip! She fed them and walked them as I asked. My home was clean. Great experience!!
Michael was an amazing dog sitter. He took excellent care of my baby for 11 days! He sent pictures and updates multiple times a day and answered my messages immediately! I could tell my pup absolutely loved him; every video and picture showed how comfortable he was with Michael. I plan to use Michael as my sitter for every trip I take!

Jennifer is fantastic! She was very flexible scheduling time to meet with our cat and dog prior to the booking to make sure it was a good fit. During the pet/house sit she shared pictures and videos each day and took very good care of our fur babies and was an excellent house guest. Would absolutely recommend and hope to work with her in the future!

Kaitlyn was great with my dog, Hudson! She gave him love and care as if he were her own. She was communicative, timely and send a ton of photos and updates each day! As someone who is super picky with choosing someone to care for my dog, I couldn't have been happier with Kaitlyn! She also left my home spotless and in the same condition I left it in, would 100% use her again!

Shareka was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and she gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dogs are incredibly spoiled. They’re used to lots of attention, affection, and company, and she exceeded my expectations in every way and I felt zero guilt for leaving my dogs. I use Rover almost every weekend, and I can honestly say she has been my favorite sitter so far. I would recommend her without hesitation and would hire her again every single time if our schedules line up. She’s reliable, caring, and truly treats your pets like her own. I almost don’t want to leave this review because I want to keep her my little secret. 😂 But she deserves every bit of the praise. Five stars all the way! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Brooke was wonderful! Our initial visit made us extremely comfortable leaving our babies in her care! She updated us often with lots of photos, and updates! She left our home tidy, and just how we left it! I commend her, because even when she had a difficult family situation, she continued to give our babies the love they needed while we were away!

Madison went above and beyond during her stay at my house. Communication was great, she sent so many pictures and videos. I know my dog Nash had a great week with her and got so many cuddles. She left my house better than she found it. I highly recommend her for any service!

Cindy did a wonderful job taking care of Bailey and Lulu! She sent lots of pictures and made sure they were happy, loved, and well cared for. I could tell they got plenty of cuddles and attention. She also took care of everything while I was away, which gave me such peace of mind. I’ve been using this app for over three years, and Cindy is by far the best sitter I’ve found. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my next vacation. Highly recommend!
