“Tracey is so accommodating and great with the pups! She is very punctual and detailed while caring greatly for her furry clients. Definitely would recommend and will keep booking her in the future!”
“Connor was fantastic! Punctual, friendly, and reliable. Our dogs LOVED him, he sent pics to us while we were gone, and we saw him playing with the dogs in the puppy cam!! Highly recommend him!”
“Pam did a fantastic job taking care of our 4 little ones while we vacationed for 8 days. She made sure they felt safe and were cared for while we were gone. She even managed to win over our pug, who normally barks at strangers and doesn’t let you get close. She genuinely cares for her charges. I will definitely use Pam again and highly recommend her.”
“Once again Sarah did an amazing job with our cat! She followed the guidelines we had on file and medicated him for some one time vomiting. She's very good with him and is a truly genuine and sweet person! She even helped out when a battery died in our smoke detector and started freaking our cat out. She will always be our go-to! I have no reservations at all about making her our permanent sitter. Thanks again Sarah!”
“Mary went over and above on her visits with Roxy and Little Roxy. She came morning and night for most of the week on days we arranged. She sent pics of the animals so my daughters would know the dogs were all good. She played ball with the dogs and Roxy even got to swim while Mary was with her. She went as far as throwing some grain into the pasture trough for use. Thanks so much Mary. We will be calling on the next trip. You can't go wrong with Mary!”
“Cecilia went above and beyond. I had contractors at the house and she ensured Seamus was safe and unable to escape the backyard. She walked him and checked in to make sure I felt comfortable. Highly recommend Cecilia”
“My little girl is anxious but Savannah did amazing! She was so patient and even came to meet Stella (my dog) beforehand so everyone was safe and comfortable. Couldn’t be happier! Savannah went above and beyond. Thank you so much for taking care of Stella!”
“Erica was amazing! With this being my first time using a Rover Sitter, Erica put my worries at ease with her quick responses and consistent communication. She was so good to keep me updated with daily notes and photos. If you are looking for a reliable sitter to look after your fur baby look no further!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’ve been around pets since childhood and currently share my home with three wonderful dogs (ages 1, 3, and 16) and a sweet 8-year-old cat. I understand the unique needs of animals at every life stage—from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior pets needing a gentler touch. I truly enjoy building bonds with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether it’s a walk around the block, playtime, or just some comforting company, I’m here to give your pets the attention and affection they deserve. As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to provide reliable, loving care for your pets throughout the day. I understand how important it is to make sure our animals feel supported, especially when life gets busy. My own pets attend daycare regularly for socialization, so I know how valuable—yet costly—those services can be. That’s why I’m happy to offer a more personal, affordable alternative. I’m available for walks or drop-in visits up to three times a day to ensure your pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I care for every pet and home as if they were my own. My deep love for animals guides everything I do, and their safety and well-being are always my top priorities. You can trust that I’ll treat your pets with the same level of kindness, attention, and respect that I give my own.
“Haley was a great sitter for our pups! She took lots of pictures and sent helpful updates every visit. She was also very patient with our Great Dane puppy who is still learning her manners. Thank you Haley!”
About: With 5+ years of hands-on animal care, lifelong pet ownership, agriculture school training, barn management experience, and extensive research. I bring unmatched dedication, leadership, and a deep understanding of animals that truly sets me apart. I am a college student that is home for the summer (until 08/19). I am free to walk, watch, stay with your lovely pets any day and any time. I currently have 3 dogs that I treat as my kiddos by walking, snuggling, and taking care of them daily. I enjoy fur babies more than humans.
“Damon and Danyale took great care of our pets! We received pictures and updates EVERY day. There were zero gaps in communication and we couldn't be happier. I would definitely ask this great duo to come back!”
About: I work from home full-time and have a calm, friendly 7-year-old dog named Oliver who loves having company. Your pup will never be left alone and will be cared for in a quiet, one-dog home with lots of love and attention. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs who need extra patience or a slower pace. I treat every dog like family and always follow your care instructions closely—from food routines to snuggles (if they want them!). Whether your pup loves playtime or prefers quiet naps, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. Since I work from home full-time, pet care is a seamless part of my everyday routine. I take regular breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and snuggles with my dog Oliver—and any guest pup would be part of that rhythm too! My schedule is flexible, so I’m able to follow your dog’s usual routine, whether that means early morning walks, lunchtime potty breaks, or evening play sessions. I’m home all day, so your pup will always have company, attention, and a calm environment. In my home, your dog will be treated like family. I keep a calm, clean space. I follow your routine closely, including feeding times, potty breaks, crate time, medications, and any special needs. For drop-ins and daycare, I bring the same level of care and attention. Whether it’s a quick visit or a full day of care, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions, give updates, and make sure your pup gets the exercise and affection they need while you’re away.

Sydney W.
“Sydney has done dog sitting and housesitting for me on two different occasions. Both times an elder dog (17+ years old) was involved plus a younger dog. Sydney did an amazing job. The elder dog had special needs such as wearing a diaper and needing to be carried to his food, to go outside, and to bed. Sydney handled these extra responsibilities with great care and both of our dogs were safe, happy, and healthy when we returned home. Our house was also in great condition and well cared for. I definitely recommend Sydney for any pet care needs you have.”

Esmeralda also goes the extra mile for my girl when she is in need of things that she runs out of like diapers, appropriate dog, food, dog beds etc. she really is a great keeper and I will be returning time and time again!”
Iryna Z.
“I've seen firsthand how naturally my wife connects with animals, both cats and dogs. When she started pet sitting, I watched her create a peaceful, loving space in our home where even shy kittens feel safe. She's patient, thoughtful, and treats every pet with care and attention she'd give our own. I'm proud of the trust she builds with both pets and their owners - and I'd definitely recommend her.”

My family and I went on a 7 day cruise and my dog is a big girl that knows how to get off the leash easy with strangers especially so I was worried that walking her would be risky and her getting hit by a car or something crazy while we were gone. They managed to care for ivy by spending time with her day and night to comfort her she's trained on pee pads so it's not a huge mess to clean and they even sent me reports about my car sonic as well. I've never been away this long from my emotional support dog and of course nervous about allowing strangers in my home but the first meeting we had I was sold such loving people and amazing authentic genuine energy exchange I knew after that ivy would be in safe hands. I plan to use them again when my family goes to broken bow next month for a few days knowing ivy is safe is whats truly important to me soon as I get settled over the next 2 days I plan to tip their service as well ❤️🩹❣️😌💪☺️
Toria did a drop-in for my girls while we were out for the night. She came on time and even stayed a bit longer. She followed directions for feedings great and even checked in with me to double check on something to make sure she was doing it correctly. They seemed to love her. I liked getting the report and photos of their time together. Thank you Toria!
