“Thank you so very much Jen & Scott!!!! I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I was very nervous leaving my 16-month-old black lab, Roxie, with people I didn’t know, but this couple completely exceeded every expectation. They treated Roxie like she was their own—taking her everywhere with them, keeping her active, exercised, and happy the entire time we were gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she wasn’t just being watched, but truly cared for and included in their daily life. On top of that, they left my home absolutely spotless, which was such a thoughtful and appreciated touch. They are kind, responsible, communicative, and clearly love what they do. I would trust them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional care for their pet. Thank you both for taking such amazing care of Roxie!”

“We cannot give higher praise for Amyra and James. They put our minds at ease and were such amazing help! Our puppies loved them and we really appreciate everything they did. We trust them completely and are no longer worried about leaving our pups knowing they’d be in the best hands!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and responsibility I bring to every pet. 🐾 As both a mother and a pet mom, caring for others is already a huge part of my everyday life. I understand the importance of trust, patience, safety, routines, and attention to detail. Your pet will be cared for like part of my own family with plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I currently work part-time and remotely, which gives me the flexibility to be present and attentive to your pup’s needs throughout the day. 🐾 Whether it’s potty breaks, feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or simply some extra cuddles and companionship, I’m able to provide consistent care and attention while your pup is boarding with me. I have a cozy, secure space and two small furry friends of my own who are friendly and enjoy the company of other pets. 🐾 I also have young adult kids who are animal lovers, so your little critter will have plenty of extra love, attention, and helping hands during their stay. Your pet will truly be welcomed as part of our family! ❤️

“5 stars. 10/10 - 100% perfect score for Katherine. She went above and beyond in so many instances for us and our dogs during her stay. She watched our two dogs (one 10, and one 7 months) for 7 days in our home. Our older dog who is normally a vision of health caught a bacterial infection and was occasionally vomiting and had diarrhea for 3-4 days. Katherine was up multiple times a night taking her out and trying to make her comfortable. She ultimately took her to the vet for me, and got her some antibiotics. She immediately improved. Not to mention she took excellent care of our puppy who is a handful herself. Katherine is detailed oriented, knowledgeable, extremely safe and cautious, professional and hard working. Not to mention, she really just loves animals. I will 100% be hiring Katherine again.”

“Irene did an amazing job caring for my pups while I was away for a wedding. She sent updates and pictures while allowed me to feel confident they were in good hands and enjoy my time away worry free. She definitely went the extra mile, I highly recommend!”

“Caroline took wonderful care of our older golden at our house for the past couple days. We came home to a very happy pup and a clean house! Can’t ask for more than that!”

“Abigail was fantastic! Scoobie fell in love with her! She was attentive to his needs and gave him tons of loving and affection. She stayed in our home and was very respectful in keeping everything picked up and clean, while still making herself comfortable with Scoobie. We were very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Scoobie was in good hands as she was great about communicating with us and sending pictures. We definitely are using her again!!!”

“I had a great experience with Kelli and would recommend her! She stayed overnight at my apartment for about a week to watch my cats, and everything went well. One of my cats needs medicine twice daily, which is scary for any pet parent, and Kelli handled the meds, my cat is fine and safe. Thanks Kelli, you are great!”
About: Been pet sitting off and on for 3 years now between jobs! Big dog friendly :) always grew up around animals, my own dog has passed away so this way I'm able to still surround myself with animals and give them all the love and care they deserve! I will love your animals as if they were my own. I'm currently working part time, this will be a second source of income for my days off. I love animals so it doesn't even feel like work :) I have a fully fenced yard and no current other pets in the home. I'm very patient and loving, open to working with all animals
“Kelsy was absolutely fantastic with Kovu- you can tell she really enjoyed spending time with him and took amazing care of him as well as provided regular updates. So thankful for Kelsy!”
“Kiryl did a great job house sitting our dog and kitties. They were happy and healthy when we came back. He followed all instructions perfectly and left our home how he found it. I highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been house-sitting for family and friends for around four years. I love hanging out with pets and making sure they’re comfortable and cared for while their people are away. I’m reliable, respectful of the home, and always leave things clean (usually cleaner than when I showed up). I have a pretty flexible schedule with work and school. I usually only work a few short shifts a week, and my classes don’t keep me on campus for long, so I’m able to be around and not leave pets alone for very long. I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable with me, and I always follow the owners’ instructions so they can stick to their normal routine. I keep a close eye on them when they’re outside to make sure they stay safe and don’t wander off. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and always leave everything extremely clean for when owners return.

About: I’ve been caring for animals for 15 years, including looking after my own dog, Roxy, throughout her life and pet-sitting for a variety of breeds across the country. As Roxy has gotten older, I’ve gained extensive experience administering medications and helping with her daily needs. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different sizes, ages, and activity levels, and I’m happy to follow whatever routines help your pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that house-sitting means caring for your home just as responsibly as your pets. I’ll treat your space with respect, keep everything clean and tidy, and leave your home in great condition when you return. I’ll also send frequent photo updates so you can see how your pets are doing and have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m flexible and happy to discuss your pets’ specific needs. I love meeting new animals and look forward to making your time away as worry-free as possible! I’m working from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and am free to arrive or leave at any time of day or night. I am very flexible and can offer any service that you may need. I’ve been giving my dog medication for years, and am strong enough to pick up larger dogs if needed.
“Jeasica, you are amazing! You have no idea how relaxing it was to be able to leave town and know that Mea was in good hands. Someone who cares for her and was gentle with her as we are. In her senior years, it gives both Matthew & I extreme comfort knowing you are with her. And that is immeasurable! Thank you so much! We are both happy & thrilled to have interviewed you. And will gladly refer you to anyone we know looking for a dog sitter.”

“We’ve been so fortunate to have Suzanne consistently care for our dog during overnight stays when we’re out of town. She is an excellent communicator, dependable, punctual, trustworthy, and genuinely kind. Suzanne is especially skilled with puppies and young adult dogs who need a little extra attention, patience, and consistency. We always feel completely comfortable knowing our dog and our home are in her care. We highly recommend Suzanne to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter.”


“Tim was very responsive while organizing the trip and while I was away. Followed all the instructions and gave our high energy dog the perfect amount of exercise. 10/10”

About: For many years, I’ve taken care of pets for clients, friends, and family. I love hanging out with animals, and enjoying the unique personalities of each pet! My daily schedule is very flexible, so I am often able to make availability any time you need. Available for daily drop-in care, or overnight care in your home. I will take care of your pet however you see fit, according to your preferences. I unfortunately do not provide care in my own home, as my cat has made it clear she prefers the home to herself.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Research Park is $63
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Research Park
Braelynn was amazing! This was our first time using a Rover so we were a little nervous to have someone new watch our dog. He can be anxious, but Braelynn was so confident and sweet with him. She made him feel comfortable very quickly which helped us feel good! You can tell she has experience caring for animals and it was clear she had taken great care of our dog and our home when we returned from our trip. Would highly recommend her!

Naomy watched my two dogs for about ten days recently. I haven’t left them with a sitter for this long before and was a little nervous. She was great with them! One pup was anxious the first night but Naomy was great with her and she settled in well after that. I recommend Naomy very highly.

This is the 3rd time Jen and Scott have house/dog sat for us and they continue to be the best sitters we’ve ever had. They are reliable, communicative, and tidy, and always leave our house in pristine shape. Most importantly though is the love and care they show our big goldendoodle Bromley. I think at this point he likes them more than us! They take him on wonderful adventures, big walks, and fun outings and clearly give him so much love and attention. I also really love that Jen and Scott send a short daily update with pictures of what they did that day with Bromley; it’s so wonderful to see all the fun he’s having with them while we’re gone. Truly couldn’t recommend Jen and Scott enough!

I hired Anita to care for my dog, Finney, in my home while I was away for a few days last weekend, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. A week before my trip, Anita took the time to stop by and meet with me to go over Finney's routine and make sure everyone was comfortable. This thoughtful gesture immediately put my mind at ease. On the day of my departure, she arrived right on time and was incredibly professional and attentive throughout the entire stay. While I was away, Anita regularly sent photos and videos of Finney, which meant so much to me. Being away from your pet is never easy, but seeing how happy, comfortable, and well cared for he was made my trip far less stressful. It was clear that she treated him with genuine care and affection. Knowing that Finney was in such capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. If you're looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and truly caring to look after your dog, I highly recommend Anita. I would not hesitate to use her services again in the future.

Miranda house sat for our cat for 10 days and she was amazing! She was available last minute when our other sitter cancelled. She was very communicative throughout the stay, sending us numerous photos and videos every day. She also spent a significant amount of time with our cat each day and even watered our plants for us! Wonderful sitter, would highly recommend

Sophia was the best house sitter i could have asked for. she went above and beyond to take care of my baby and my place. she was very communicative and helpful, with updates throughout the day for me to have a peace of mind. my puppy loved her and i would book her again 100%!!! highly recommend you book her :)

Anh is such a caring and responsible pet sitter! She goes above & beyond to make sure your pet is always well cared for. She took the time to let my shy cat become comfortable with her before we left town & he absolutely adores her now! And she takes extra good care of our elderly dog. She even taught me some new tricks in taking care of her! We absolutely love what good care Anh takes of our pets! We will continue to hire her to care for our pets when we travel & highly recommend her to others.
