“Great experience, our two dogs seemed to have enjoyed their "vacation" as much as we did. It was great to know everything was taken care off at home. Home was also left clean and tidy.”

“Connor did a great job in getting Bella comfortable with him for his first sit. He sent photos daily, promptly answered my messages and left the house in excellent condition. I will use his service again.”


About: Trusted pet sitter with 5 years’ experience. Services provided include, loving care, daily updates, walks, medication, and overnights. Calm with seniors, playful with puppies and cats. I recently retired, so I have plenty of time to walk, play with and care for your pets. I am available most days with notice. I have two dogs of my own, so I can crate dogs and walk them. My dogs are an 85 lb, chocolate lab named Tripp and a yorkiepoo named Roxy. I loved to cuddle with and love on pups and cats.
About: I have always been a dog and animal lover. We have had a dog in the house for my whole life and caring for them is something I always get excited about. Dogs are probably one of my favorite things. I have pet sitted numerous times individually, most recently for a dog that didn't seem to like anyone, but loved me. I will care for and play with your dog like it is my own. I will brush him/her, run with, give belly rubs, walk, and even pick up waste. I love all sized dogs and all breeds. I will also cat sit, and have experience with that, as well as cat sitting for one who required special care. I am currently working full time on weekdays and will start graduate school soon. I am available to care for your dog or cat after 6pm weekdays and anytime weekends. I am very adaptable in different homes or settings that you live in and that I will be caring for your pet in. I can pick up waste in the yard and great at coercing with treats.
“First time using Rover for in house sitting and Louann was great! House and dogs perfect when we got home. Would definitely use her again. Thanks for loving on our pups!!”
“We were very happy with Joleen’s care of our cat and house while we were away. She took such great care of Kit Kit who is not the most social or friendliest cat around, otherwise known as a PIA. We received picture updates and were so surprised how she had the cat eating out of her hand in no time. The house was immaculate when we returned… we couldn’t ask for anything more. You will never want to use anybody else!”

“The boys absolutely LOVED her and I also got lots of comfort with cute videos and pictures of the boys! Scooby says 100/10 best play mate and Prince says 100/10 best snuggles! Thank you!!”


“Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again”

“Kayleigh was an amazing dog / cat / house sitter! She even stayed through the night when the heater broke and it was freezing outside! I can definitely recommend her and will hope she is free next time I need a sitter.”

“Wonderful! Maria took great care of my house and kitties! Lots of communication and pictures - great experience for this first time Rover user! Will definitely have Maria back in the future!”

About: I have been taking care of dogs and my own pet for a little over seven years now. I am most experienced with senior dogs, as most of my friends and family have older dogs with plenty of extra needs. I have fostered puppies for a few years now, and I am very well-versed in potty-training puppies as well! I currently have a full time job, Monday through Friday 8-5pm, some Saturdays 8-12pm and off on Sundays. I will be available to care for your pets in their own environment and safe place so they can feel comfortably in their own space and keep their same routine. I have a large, fenced backyard free of any harmful plants for my dog. Plenty of toys, a neighborhood perfect for walking, practicing leash training, and ample space for my pet to relax and play! I adhere to a schedule, whether it’s for my own or for my client, and I am very strict about it unless there is room for extra time depending on the dog’s mood/behavior. Very energetic, so your dog will receive proper exercise, attention, and so much love in my presence!
“Wendy was great with our pets and our home. She communicated well, took excellent care of them and provided thoughtful insights about them. We loved working with her and wouldnt hesitate to call on her again. She sent lots if pucs an updates, letting us fully enjoy our time away!”

“Ashley is awesome. I feel so comfortable with her in our home. I use Ashley whenever I come to Florida. Coco remembers her immediately when she comes in the door. We’ll definitely be using her in the future.”

“Ashlee was absolutely amazing taking care of our animals while we were away for the weekend and staying at our home. From the very beginning, I felt so comfortable with her and just knew she would take great care of them. She made time quickly to come meet them and was so professional and kind. She stayed in great communication the entire time-sending pictures, giving updates, and letting me know how they were doing. She even went above and beyond by trimming my cat’s nails when they had gotten too long. I highly recommend Ashlee! I even told her I want to plan another trip just so she can come back and take care of our animals again.”

“Tabitha did cat and house sitting for our two cats for a week while we were out of town. Great communication with texts each day, including photos. Plato and Sophie made friends with Tabitha instantly, and they were taken care of with feeding two times a day, treats, and cleaning the litter box. Our house was spotless when we returned! Highly recommend Tabitha!”

Amy was very professional, promptly communicative and a great house guest while caring for our Luna! She messaged and sent pictures daily, as well as gave the good "scritchins" when requested by Luna. :-) We will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!

We had a wonderful experience with Regina! This was our first time leaving our senior Newfoundland with someone new, and she immediately put us at ease. She was kind, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and well looked after. Bruno has a few special needs and routines, and she was patient, asked great questions, and followed instructions carefully. We received updates while we were away, which gave us tremendous peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our evening knowing he was in good hands. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and that’s the best review we can give. We would absolutely trust her with Bruno again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.

We had an excellent experience with MarinaRae and would highly recommend her as a cat sitter. She kept us informed throughout our trip with regular updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cats were clearly well cared for, happy, and comfortable when we returned home. She also left our house in fantastic condition — clean, organized, and exactly as we left it. It’s such a relief to find someone reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We will absolutely use MarinaRae again!

Renee was simply put, AMAZING! She stayed in touch and sent photos of my dogs. When we got home from our weekend trip, the house looked just like we left it. I gave her a 5 star rating but should be a 10 star rating. I almost don't want to leave this rating as I know she will start booking up and I may have trouble getting her again. I highly recommend her!

Nakiyah was an absolutely amazing pet sitter! She took such great care of my dog, sending me frequent photo updates so I could see how happy and comfortable he was. She even took him to parks for walks and playtime, which he loved! I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring hands. I highly recommend Nakiyah to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving sitter.
