“Kristin was great, this was our first time having her watch our dogs. She spent time meeting them first a couple of weeks before. She was very communicative while she was house/dog sitting! I highly recommend her!”


“If I could sum Talon up in one word it would be AMAZING! She was right on time and our dogs loved her immediately - it usually takes time for them to warm up to new people, but they sensed her “dog whisperer” side. You will not go wrong by booking with Talon. Looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs will be taking very well care of.”


“This was our first time using Rover, and with Laura the experience was great. She was very informative and a great caregiver. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process and kept us informed. She willingly worked with our requirements. During our vacation she looked over our dog and our house. We are so thankful for her, and have already booked another session for our future travel plans. Would highly recommend to anyone.”


“Jenae is wonderful, extremely flexible, and great with our dogs. Our dogs are always excited to see her, she always keeps us updated, and does all of the little extra things for our dogs. I would highly recommend having her watch or walk your pups!”


About: I’ve been around pets my whole life—mostly dogs and cats—and taking care of them has always felt like second nature. I have a cat named Pippa who I’m absolutely obsessed with (she runs the house and she knows it). I’ve also had experience caring for senior dogs, so I’m familiar with slower walks, meds, and giving them all the extra love they deserve. Whether your pet is playful, shy, anxious, or just wants a cuddle buddy, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and make sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Animals are such a huge part of my life, and I’ll care for yours like one of my own. I send pictures/updates daily! I make sure to play with and walk your pets every day while I’m caring for them! Weekends are ideal since I work a 9–5, but my schedule is relatively flexible, so your pets will get plenty of attention and love! I’m the fun aunt! I always aim to keep your pets happy and comfortable while you’re away, but I also prioritize their safety by respecting any rules or routines you set. A loving, stress-free environment is my top priority.

“Once again great experience. Will continue to use Victoria to watch our little nugget. ❤️”


“Christina once again was great with our dogs. She has stayed twice and our dogs seemed great when we arrived home. We are very picky about who we choose to stay with our dogs. Christina has been great with them.”


“We had a wonderful experience with Eliana! She was fantastic with our three rambunctious dogs. She took the time to come for a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped us feel confident leaving them in her care. Throughout the weekend, she was prompt, respectful, and had great communication — she kept us updated and sent us the sweetest photos, which were definitely a highlight while we were away. Our dogs were clearly very well cared for, and to top it off, our house was even cleaner when we got back than when we left! We would absolutely recommend Eliana and look forward to having her watch our dogs again in the future.”


“Sophie did a great job house-sitting for my dog and cat for over a week! They both can be slow to trust new people but it was clear they were comfortable with her.”


“Rhonda was awesome and took great care of our dog. It was the longest time we have ever been away from him. We were nervous to say the least. He seemed very happy with her and it put our minds at ease. We will definitely use her again.”


About: Animals have been a large part of my life since I was a young child. I had to let my dog go due to cancer some years back and cannot afford one of my own any longer. It would be an honor to spend time with your family member. I've been disabled for 17 years and I'd relish the opportunity to give your family member the attention they need when you're busy schedule requires time away. I will go above and beyond to keep your family member happy and comfortable and of course entertained. As a former pet owner I understand your concern with leaving them in others hands. Your four-legged family will be treated as my own.

“Nathan is a fantastic dog and house sitter. He came to the house for a preliminary meet and great, and his communication throughout the entire process was excellent. I had complete confidence that my senior Mastiff and home were well cared for while Nathan was here. I will also say that Nathan goes above and beyond in terms of sitting, so I will be using him again and again. It's nice to know he is available. He's a great asset to Rover and our local community.”


About: Not sure where to start! I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes! I have a cat named Lexi. I have owned/cared for large breeds, all breed, cats, horses, goats, the works. I am extremely loving and passionate for taking care of humans and animals. I'm not a certified trainer but I have trained my previous dogs in clicker training, behavioral training, and harness training. I'm not afraid of any animals what so ever. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday I take care of beautiful humans. I thoroughly love my job but also have a deep love for animals also. When I'm not at work, I generally have my 2 year old but my husband helps! I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes (with the exception of spiders and snakes). I am one of the most loving people you will ever meet. I will 100% ensure they are fed, pottied, and loved for before I "leave them". They might get left with extra lovings or maybe a surprise over night if needed. I love hiking. My apartment is equipped with dog care essentials. Even if it's too hot, I'm always okay with playing in the water and having a "weighted blanket" for extra cuddles.

“I booked with Bailee to housesit my two large dogs. I was a little nervous since I hadn't had anyone from Rover housesit for me before, but after my initial meet and greet with Bailee I was totally put at ease. She's very personable and professional. She sent us updates and pictures while we were gone. She followed our instructions for care perfectly and left the house spotless. When we got home our pups were happy and relaxed as always. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thanks Bailee!”


“Olivia was absolutely fantastic! Very reliable and all 3 of my dogs loved her!! She provided multiple pictures throughout the house sitting visit and gave timely/thorough updates on all the dogs!!”


“Katie is amazing with our senior dog and cat!”


“Kaylee has been staying with my two active dogs on a regular basis and is doing really well. She is punctual and keeps the house clean. She is very friendly and my dogs like her. She’s doing a great job!”


About: I had a dog for 17years of my life and she truly was my world. I now have a cat and won’t be able to get a dog till I move out, so being able to watch others dogs helps with being patient until I get my own! I also just love dogs a lot I work full time currently but I am willing to work around people’s schedules. I just love being around animals and would love to help someone in the process, so they feel comfortable leaving their babies at home. I give them free rein, but usually for cats I keep them in one room for at least a day to get used to the new environment. Dogs on the other hand can have any space in the house!

“Jack is simply amazing! He had great ideas to bond with our dog while we were away. Our dog was definitely very comfortable and happy with him. Also, he also took our dog on a hike ... which was awesome. We would love to contact Jack in the future.”


About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. Animals are very special to me and they deserve the best, especially when there loved ones are away I have plenty of time to give your animal the love and attention they need. I have 2 dogs and 3 cats of my own. I enjoying sharing my love for animals to all. I have a fenced yard. My dogs love to run and play back there. They also enjoy the air conditioner just as much this time of year.
