About: I have grown up with dogs all my life and started pet sitting when I was 14. I have looked after many different animals including dogs, cats, lizards, and a spider! I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior animals and animals with disabilities as well. I am currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to walk and play with your pets! If I am needed on an hourly basis, let me know two weeks beforehand so I can schedule time off work. I can stay overnight at your house if needed I will not bring your pets over to my home because my own dog is unsure about other animals. I like to stay with the animals for two hours each time I check in on them to keep them company and to play with them. I can also stay overnight and all day if needed.
“Oli did an amazing job with our dog. We got such detailed and entertaining reports. We never worried for a moment that our dog was getting better care than we would provide. Oli was responsive and flexible and left our home in great condition. We would book Oli again in an instant and we very highly recommend them to anyone.”

“Imagine going out of state for vacation and never once worrying about your fur babies?! With Ashleigh house sitting we did just that. She is great to communicate with, and sent us updates everyday. I’m pretty sure our dog and cat were still looking for her after we returned home She also took excellent care of the house, we could hardly tell she’d been here. I’ll be a repeat customer!!!”


About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and I know how special and important they are in our lives. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors; from puppies/ kittens to very special seniors. My children are adults now, so I am very flexible as far as scheduling goes, in order to meet your and your pet’s needs. I come to you! I will carry out your instructions in your pet’s own environment, and make sure they are safe and happy, keeping feedings in mind, as well as doors or gates that need to stay closed.
“Taylor is wonderful! She followed my wishes for care. I have 5 dogs and she did overnight visits with them. Feeding them, hanging out with them and loving on them. Taylor went above and beyond to help me and I would highly recommend her.”

About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!
“Noa was absolutely amazing!!! Her communication, fantastic!!!! Pictures of all my babies, memeable and cute!! My animals loved her even my shy senior cat came to hang out with her! My St. Bernard can be dog reactive and she handled her perfectly!”

“Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!”

“Patrice was fantastic housesitting for our elderly dog and young pup for a week. They had great care and Patrice kept us well-informed when one of the dogs didn’t seem to feel well for a day or so. It was a great comfort to have someone who cares so much about animals and their well-being looking after the dogs while we were away!”


About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!
“Jessica is amazing!! I highly would recommend Jessica. She took great care of my two English Bulldogs that had a lot of health issues. When I came home my house was clean like I left it. She took pictures everyday of my two fur kids and sent them to me. I'm so grateful that I had Jessica watching my boys.”

“This was my first booking with Rover and if Tonia is an example of the quality and compassionate pet sitters....we will be back! Tonia was prompt, kind, attentive and a life-saver (last minute scheduling request). We couldn't have had a better experience. Thank you Tonia and Rover! From Tucker's mom & dad.”

“Raven does an excellent job. Very conscientious. Thinks ahead. She took excellent care of my Sugar and was responsive to my requests for updates & pictures of my baby. Super flexible. I would recommend Raven without a second thought to anyone that needs care for their fur baby.”

About: I've had at least two dogs my entire life. I've cared for puppies through adult dogs. I have even cared for some with special needs. When your dog stays with me, you also get my whole family to care for them. I'm a stay at home mom and I have plenty of time to care for your baby. I can be with your dog at all times. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs who would love to play and snuggle. I will also walk your dog if you'd like.
“This was the second of two back-to-back trips that Adrienne watched our pets. They were spoiled by her as much as we spoil them, if not more; and they, and our house, were well taken care of. Top-notch service all around.”

“Jennifer did a wonderful job watching our two dogs in our home. She had great communication and took plenty of pics which ensured us our fur babies were well taken care of. She was polite and thoughtful! We highly recommend and would love to have her stay again!”

Jenna did an amazing job taking care of our dog and two cats while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about our pets. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos - it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everyone was happy and well cared for. She also kept the house very tidy, which was such a nice thing to come home to. We would absolutely book with Jenna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!

I really appreciated the ability to book her at a late notice. Although I was not able to meet her in person, I came home to happy healthy puppies. Pictures would have been nice but I won't doc her for that - handling two energetic puppies is enough and if she experienced what I experience, they do not sit still for pictures.

We’ve never left our dogs with anyone other than family and friends. We were in a pinch and found Josh via Rover. On short notice, he came to our home for a meet and greet and we instantly felt very comfortable with him watching our dogs. Josh was prompt and very respectful of our home. He sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to reassure us that things were going well. We will definitely use Josh in the future!

Brooklyn went above and beyond while caring for our three pets during our week away. As an anxious dog mom who’s never left her pets with someone I didn’t know personally, I was nervous, but Brooklyn immediately put me at ease. She set up a meet-and-greet beforehand, and from that moment, I knew she was the right fit. Throughout our trip, Brooklyn sent thoughtful daily updates and photos, which meant the world to me. She had our dogs playing with toys they hadn’t touched in ages, administered daily medication, and gave extra love and attention to one of our dogs recovering from a torn ACL. She also comforted our pup who’s terrified of storms. On top of all that, she took great care of our home—watering our plants and leaving everything spotless. When her time ended she left a super detailed report of how the dogs did and you can tell she takes pride in what she does! If you’re looking for a sign to book Brooklyn, this is it. You won’t regret it!
