“Absolutely phenomenal sitter and we will 100% ask her to look after our kitty again. She loved her just as much as we do and we can’t be more thankful. She was a great houseguest and she was a great sitter.”


“Katie is a great dog sitter! Our pups took to her immediately when they met her. She kept us posted daily as to their well-being while we were out, and followed instructions to the letter. She asked us questions about their care if she was uncertain, and even about other things she noticed around the house that she could help with. I highly recommend Katie and know we will call on her again in the future!”


“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”


“Sierra was wonderful to work with! She stayed with my 9 month old Labrador, and kept up with his high energy needs. Sierra was very respectful and willing to work on commands while we were away, as well as kept our home picked up! She was very easy to talk to and work with!”


About: I treat every pet and home with the same care and attention I’d give my own. What sets me apart is my intentionality — I pay close attention to each pet’s personality, routines, and needs, whether it’s a high-energy dog, a shy cat, or a senior pet that requires a calm companion. I’ve provided care during holidays, followed detailed medication schedules, and even kept houseplants thriving while clients were away. I’m communicative, clean, and genuinely enjoy creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their people. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine — I genuinely enjoy it and plan my days around giving pets the attention they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening feeding routines, I stay flexible and dependable. I also build in time for play, snuggles, and cleanup to make sure every visit feels intentional and relaxed. I treat pet care as more than just a task — it’s a rhythm I enjoy and a responsibility I take seriously. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the utmost respect and create a calm, familiar environment for the pets. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding routines to preferred walking routes — and make sure pets feel safe, seen, and relaxed. I lock up securely, stay aware of my surroundings on walks, and provide detailed updates so clients always know how things are progressing. My goal is to maintain a peaceful, clean, and trustworthy atmosphere — one that is both for the pets and their owners.

“We left to go out of the country for a number of days and we didn't worry at all about our girls knowing they were in Abby’s care! She gave me daily pupdates with pictures 😄. I don’t trust everyone with our girls, but I always trust Abby and will continue to use her. Highly recommend!”


“Nick is truly the best! Nick is a great guy and so trustworthy. We left our yellow lab, Bodi with Nick for 5 days and came back to a spotless house and a well taken care of dog. Nick was thoughtful enough to give us daily updates on how things were going along with pictures. He is truly a natural with dogs and can tell how much he loves animals, our Bodi took to him right away. Definitely will be requesting Nick for future dog care and highly recommend him. Nick is a true gem who went above and beyond without being asked.”


About: I’ve had dogs my entire life but really started taking care of them when I was about 5. Throughout my childhood I had 6 dogs, all of different breeds and sizes. I frequently dog sit for my boss when he goes home (from out of state) or on vacation. I also have experience with cats, turtles, ferrets, rabbits, and possums. I’m normally able to walk/stop in to visit after works hours during the week (5:30pm). I have a lot of availability on the weekends, when I’d be able to stay overnight or have dogs stay overnight. I do live in an apartment complex with lots of friendly neighbors and their dogs! There are great walking paths throughout my whole complex so there would be no issues going on long walks! I’m all for snuggling on the furniture, as I want your babies to feel as comfortable as possible!

“So many good things to say! We have two dogs and have had Ashley dog sit and do daily visits. She has done great at both and we will continue to use her. She kept us up to date while we were away and took good care of our guys.”


“Gianna has watched our dog a couple of times now and she is great! She is quick to reply and give updates. She is thorough, timely, and our dog loves hanging out with her! Would definitely recommend her for your future pet-sitting needs! 😊”

“Chris has watched Sadie 2 times now, he has taken excellent care of our home and our very anxious old lady. He’s very enjoyable person to chat with as well and made us feel very comfortable entrusting him. 10/10 would recommend and will continue to use him exclusively if his schedule permits it.”


“Ava did a terrific job caring for our dog and cat, each prized family members. We were in Europe for two weeks and during that time, she updated us regularly with pictures showing that our pets were well taken care of and happy. An unexpected bonus was that she cleaned and did laundry before she left so there was NO recovery for us once we got home. She also kept a cool head while a bad storm came through. We are delighted to have found Ava and already have her booked for another stay.”


“Paige was wonderful! I asked if she was willing to meet my dog ahead of time before her stay, and she was so kind and patient. She has great communication—I’d definitely recommend her to anyone 😊”


About: Growing up I have always had a love for animals. My very first job included working in a boarding dog kennel. Since then I have became the go to dog sitter for my friends and family! I have taken courses on animal science that have helped me to become more knowledgeable on caring for animals. I have two cats and a shepherd/lab mix that I greatly adore!😊 I am a recently graduated student with a highly flexible schedule. I do have a daytime job, however I am lucky to have the opportunity to come and go when needed I am passionate about providing attentive and stimulating care to all pets, treating them with the same love and dedication as my own. I have much respect for others homes and personal spaces and will not cross boundaries😊

“If you’re looking for a GREAT pet sitter, book Michelle. She was prompt, a good communicator and took very good care of my two babies. I definitely plan to book with her again.”

Kitt S.
“Love her! Kitt has been a steady light of my dogs day for the past year. Kitt has gone above and beyond giving her extra love, extra belly rubs and taking her on long walks, even in inclement weather. She loves making sure my dog is taken care of and cared for while I am away. She is one of the only people I trust with my mischievous high maintenance husky. Kitt has been great watching her and providing medication, making sure she gets fed on time and providing extra care while I am not available. I would highly recommend Kitt to anyone who wants the comfort of knowing their pet is going to be more than ok while the owner is away.”

Kaitlin C.
“Kaitlin has lived with our dogs and cats her entire life. All she knows is to love them as members of the family: to play with them, share deep conversations, pour out her heart to sympathetic ears in times of trouble, to make room on the bed for multiple furry visitors, and to grieve when they pass. With that love, though, is a strong sense of responsibility. As an adult, Kaitlin has cared for other's furry friends. She knows that they miss us when we have to be away and that they need someone to care for them and to spend time with them so they are not lonely. As a member of Rover, she will take care of your pets' daily needs as well, keeping to agreed-upon schedules so your furry friends will be happy and healthy when you return.”
