“Claudia is the best! We are 100% comfortable leaving her in charge of the house and the doggos. They love it when she is here and she takes care of everything for them! Claudia is a real gem, we are very fortunate to have found her.”
“Aubrey stayed two nights with Franklin and took great care of him. She was easy to communicate with, responsive and loves dogs! She is super friendly and Franklin was at ease with her and I can tell he loved being with her.”
“Eli took great care of Kona and our house while we were away. He was very responsive before our trip, and sent great updates while he was staying with Kona. We look forward to him dog and house sitting for us again soon.”
“Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!”
“Alec has watched my 2 dogs twice when I've gone out of town and has been great! He kept me up to date with pics of the dogs and updates throughout the day. He maintained their regular walking schedule and even took my more energetic pup on extra walks. Both times I've come home to 2 happy dogs and I would definitely book him again in the future.”
About: I've owned and taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, and many other pets since I was very young. I love animals and children and getting to work with them, and they also love me! I can't wait to meet your fur (or scale) babies! I'm currently going to college part-time, so I have plenty of available time in my day. I am flexible with all hours and can work around your schedule as needed. I treat your pets and your home just as I would mine. I will give your fur babies and your personal space the love and respect they deserve. We will go over any rules and boundaries ahead of time so I can ensure I follow them. If you ever have any issues you can bring them to my attention right away.
“Best Rover experience ever for our two pups, Gizmo and Teddy! We received constant updates, photos, and so much love and care that we were actually able to relax while away. Coming home to two happy, calm boys meant everything — we will absolutely book again! 🐾💕”
“Nelsybeth is fantastic! Very communicative and amazing with our high energy puppy. She also won over our other dog with severe anxiety. Love her and will definitely be booking her in the future!”
“Luis is always amazing with our dogs Lulu and Kaya. I’ve never felt more at peace with a dog sitter than with Luis. It allows us to actually enjoy our vacation knowing they are in such great hands. He’s fantastic!”

“We were very fortunate that Lauren had time in her schedule when we had to make a last- minute trip. She took amazing care of our elderly dogs, assorted birds, and fish. She sent us lots of pics of our very contented dogs snoozing, eating, and on their walks. She handled their special diets and supplements like a pro and even cleaned up a bit, plus watered our many plants, and took out the garbage and recycling. She is so responsible and caring—truly a gem!”
“Patricia was fantastic with our rambunctious golden retriever puppy and older cat. She sent consistent updates to make sure we were in the loop while we were out of town and asked questions to clarify anything that we missed in our instructions. She was also very professional and flexible when we had some challenges with getting her access to our building. It looked like our fur-kids had a fantastic time, and we would absolutely book Patricia again!”
“Valerie was just amazing! I had to be out of town for 5 days for a memorial service. Pups couldn't go. Valerie came and met them and played with them here at the house. She took great care of everything. I got lots of pictures of smiling, happy puppies during my trip. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Serena is the best! She’s so reliable and loved my dog like hers. She really took the time to get to know my pup and was so understanding of all his little quirks. Honestly, I think Tori fell in love with her! It’s such a relief finding someone who cares this much. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“We recently booked Tuan Anh for an overnight stay with our three dogs — one senior pup who needs medication twice a day and two others with daily meds. He was incredibly professional, attentive, and communicative throughout his stay. He made sure everyone got their medications on time, kept us updated regularly, and left our home in great shape. This was our first time using Rover for overnight pet sitting, and we were a bit nervous at first, but Tuan Anh exceeded our expectations. We’d absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m a remote designer and small business owner who genuinely enjoys calm home environments, long walks, enrichment activities, and getting to know each pet’s personality. I currently have two dogs of my own and have spent years around both dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments, routines, and energy levels. Some pets want lots of playtime and interaction, while others mostly want a calm person nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what helps them feel comfortable and relaxed. Because I make my own schedule and work remotely, I’m able to spend a good amount of time with pets throughout the day instead of only being around mornings and evenings. I especially enjoy enrichment activities like sniff walks, puzzle toys, play sessions, and mentally engaging games to help dogs stay happy and stimulated while their owners are away. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications, sticking to routines, and providing updates/photos during stays. I’m clean, organized, respectful of people’s homes, and I always try to leave things just as tidy and comfortable as I found them. I know it can feel strange leaving your pets and home with someone new, so I try to make the experience feel easy, calm, and low-stress for everyone involved. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with pets throughout the day while still respecting their normal routines. I’m primarily available for house sitting and weekend stays, and I enjoy providing calm companionship, walks, playtime, and enrichment activities. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I’m clean, dependable, communicative, and attentive to routines and instructions. I always aim to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain a calm, low-stress atmosphere while you’re away.
“Sarah took great care of my dog while I was away. My puppy has a sensitive stomach that tends to act up while I'm away. Sarah was able to make my dog feel comfortable enough that it wasn't an issue. Sarah kept great communication with me while I was gone and was very accommodating to some issues that popped up with an obnoxious neighbor. Ultimately I came home to a happy dog and a house that looked the same as I left it. Thank you for taking care of my pup. I wish I could have you again!”
“Crystal was amazing! She helped us last minute and worked with our changing schedule. She did a good job of accommodating all of Roxxys needs. I can tell that Roxxy made a new friend! I would definitely recommend her!”

Lauren went above and beyond in every way. She kept us updated throughout the day with detailed messages and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. What really stood out was her initiative. She took out our large trash bins when she noticed the neighbors had, tidied up areas we did not outline as her responsibility, and proactively asked about things like watering our plants, all without being defined in the scope we discussed all to deliver better service. She was incredibly attentive to our animals and our home, and treated our dog and kittens like they were her own. We couldn't recommend her more highly for anyone looking for a sitter they can truly trust with their pets and their home.
Alec did a fantastic job caring for our dog and cat while we were away for a week. Our dog has anxiety issues, so finding someone patient and reliable is especially important to us. Alec kept us updated and gave both pets excellent care and attention. We came home to two happy, relaxed, and well-cared-for furry babies. We would happily recommend Alec to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Bob was an amazing sitter for our corgi and husky! He was on time for both the meet & greet and the actual booking, and was very professional and kind throughout the entire experience. He sent us multiple daily updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear both dogs were getting lots of playtime, attention, and love. Our corgi usually gets extra emotional when we come home, but this time she seemed so happy and relaxed, which really showed us how well cared for they were. Our house was also left in great condition. We’re very happy with Bob and will definitely book with him again!
Erin is a doll. She was very good with my puppy ... understands that you don't reward a dog misbehaving by showing affection. He wanted to be picked up and she waited until he calmed down. Young, but wise beyond her years. She's smart, reasonable and very polite. GR8 FIND!
Best Rover experience ever for our two pups, Gizmo and Teddy! We received constant updates, photos, and so much love and care that we were actually able to relax while away. Coming home to two happy, calm boys meant everything — we will absolutely book again! 🐾💕
Jealous that our 10-week puppy Sisi had way more fun and seemed delighted to hang with Serena than with us. 10/10 but would not recommend unless you want to be relegated to #2 on your pups favorite people list. This was Sisi’s first ever sitting experience and it couldn’t have gone smoother. Serena helped us for 5 hours while we out for a dinner event. Gave us plenty of helpful tips too!
Tetiana was great at taking care of our two Rotties. She walked them and gave them a lot of attention while we were out of town for several days. It is hard to trust someone to take care of two large dogs. She handled them well. I would recommend Tetiana to all. I will be using her for our next trip. I am happy to have someone I trust.
I can’t recommend Tuan enough. We went out of town for two weeks and needed someone to care for our very sensitive bully breed, who takes time to warm up to new people. Tuan was kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and he was open to caring for her in the way that best supported her well-being. Tuan also always made himself available to do trial runs walking her and getting know her. We felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands.
Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!
