“Lauryn was extremely communicative and reached out anytime she had questions. She sent me updates regularly. She treated my pup so well, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my dog with her. Would definitely recommend! :)”
“Suzanne was so good with my high energy dogs. She sent me updates and was thorough! I came home to some happy pups! My house was left in perfect condition! Would definitely call her again!”
“Emily was a great sitter! She house sat for us over the holiday weekend and I came home to a very happy dog :) She was great with communication (and left the house very clean!) would definitely work with her again and recommend. Thank you!”
“Sheila did a great job taking care of my dog! She did two meet and greats to ensure my dog was familiar with her. She walked him multiple times per day. She sent me several pictures and updates during her stay. The house was left clean. We will use Sheila again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Kenneth. Our dogs seemed happy when we returned home and our home was very tidy. He also provided regular updates and photos while we were away.”
“Crystal did a fantastic job house sitting and caring for our two pups! She was extremely communicative, sending photos and updates to us. She is kind and understood our dogs’ unique quirks which I highly appreciate. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Elizabeth is such a sweet and caring dog sitter. Our more anxious big dog took to her at the Meet and Greet which made me comfortable about the actual stay. She was very honest and accommodating of all our questions during the M&G too. She was very flexible on our departure day because we were delayed due to weather. The actual stay went well, no issues with the dogs or house. The house was all tidy when we returned so I couldn't tell she stayed for 5 days. Plus she took such cute pictures of our dogs while we were away. Def recommend her!”
“We loved having Andrea stay with our 2 cats and dog while we were out of town. Andrea was very communicative and we could tell from all the pictures that they warmed up to Andrea very quickly. Thank you so much for a couple of stress free days!!”
“We had such a great experience with Karen! Our rescue dog Stella has some unique care needs, and as a pretty hyper-vigilant dog parent, I was a little nervous about leaving her. But right away, Karen made me feel totally at ease. She really took the time to understand everything Stella needed and made sure she was loved, spoiled, and super well cared for. Karen stayed overnight and spent so much time playing with the dogs — Stella was clearly happy and relaxed. We got lots of sweet updates, and it made the whole experience stress-free. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Raven is amazing as always! She sends lots of updates and photos and I know my animals are in great hands when left with her! She always leaves the house spotless, we can never tell if she actually uses the bed!”
“Everything you wanted from a dog/house sitter. Extremely respectful to the property, caring and loving to my dog, constant updates and photos throughout, flexible and attentive. Love this couple!”
“Olivia took excellent care of our 2 girls. She is a strong communicator and provides lots of photos which makes me feel good about leaving them. Our 2 dogs enjoyed getting fed, taking walks and getting cuddles, but mostly our Purdie loves playing ball, which Olivia graciously partook in. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I'm very good walking stop-and sniff dogs, and dogs that tend to pull a lot. I can usually get a dog's best behavior out of them. I love studying dog breed histories, learning about what they were originally bred for, and using those breed traits to make up games/tricks. Dogs love having work to do, and the happiest dogs have jobs that play to the strengths of their breed. Pet care is paramount. I can work my schedule and routine around the needs of any dogs in my care I've never had a problem with any dog entrusted to me, whether a twenty minute walk or a 5 day boarding. I have a fenced yard but I don't leave dogs unattended there. I also have a small Schnauzer mix rescue who likes having other dogs around but generally keeps to himself.
About: I've had dogs and cats most of my adult life and love being surrounded by animals. I currently have one mini dachshund and a cat but wish I had triple the pets. I work from home and am free mornings and weekends for pet parents needs. I am willing to work with a flexible schedule if needed. I have watched my friends' pets and actually prefer to have them stay at home if at all possible so that the furry friends are most comfortable and feel safe.
“Elizabeth has been taking excellent care of my pets for sometime and I feel so lucky to have found her on rover! I feel very secure when she is at my house and love the photo updates. My pets always seem so happy when I get home! Highly recommend Elizabeth.”

Anissa M.
“Anissa is the best dog sitter! She took care of my two 50 lb shepherd mixes like they were her own when I was out of town for the weekend. My pups have a special diet and she followed the meal time directions to a “T”. She stayed at my house and was very respectful of the property. She is very dependable and I highly recommend her.”

My 10 night overseas trip left Winnie at home alone with a dog sitter for the first time. She’s cautious and lacks confidence, so I was pretty concerned. Katherine communicated daily, sending pictures and updates which really eased my worries. She is very responsible, reliable, and kind. Katherine loved my girl as if she was her own, even getting Winnie to sleep with her at night! I highly recommend Katherine as a dog sitter and hope she will be available the next time I travel.
David is absolute gem! We have had David care for our pets numerous times and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he takes such good care of them. David is attentive, reliable and loving especially with our special needs animals. Our elderly dog has arthritis with hearing & vision loss and our cat needs daily insulin shots to manage her diabetes. He took the best care of both ❤️ We always come back to happy, calm and well-loved animals— which says a lot about the level of care and attention David gives.
Olivia has been incredibly reliable in taking care of my pups. She’s always so great about sending photos will I’m away and making sure everything not only with my babies but with the house is taken care of. Thank you, Olivia for being a great dog and house sitter! We couldn’t do it without you!
