“We used Tracy (and Rover) for the first time while we traveled out of the country. He house sat our 2 dogs and did great! We got pictures daily and he was very responsive to my questions! We would definitely use him again!”


“Lisa did a great job watching our two boys. They adapted to her quickly, not usual for Shelties. Fun to see them so well cared for when we returned. Def gave us peace of mind as we negotiated out of town surgery w/o having to worry about Mac and Fionn. Would def have Lisa again.”


“(Disclosure: Jill is a family member) Jill has watched our dog Lilo for years and has always taken great care of her. This time, we were in Cancun for a week and left our dog in her very capable hands. Lilo has a medical condition that requires her to receive oral medication (via pill and syringe) as well as having very strict food instructions, and Jill is comfortable with whatever we need her to do. She left our house as clean as when we left it, and even watered our newly planted grass and landscaping. I highly recommend Jill for whatever your pet needs!”


“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”


“Stephanie was great to work with! Always gave plenty of updates throughout the day about the dogs and sent pictures of them as well! This was the longest time we have left someone with our pets and I am so thankful that Stephanie was the one watching them. She treated them as her own and our house was left just as we left it! Will definitely use Stephanie again and recommend her for any services!”



“This was the first time I had ever used Rover for petsitting. To say I was nervous is an understatement because my two dogs are my kiddos and I love them so much. I wanted to use this service so they could stay at home where they are the most comfortable. Clint and Leah were the perfect choice for me because they were willing to stay at my house and gave both of my dogs lots of attention. One of my dogs is older and pretty cranky and she takes a long time to warm up to new people. I was shocked when she warmed up to them right away. Clint and Leah are excellent communicators which is very important to me. As things came up while I was gone, they were great about letting me know right away and giving detailed updates. One of my dogs is very scared of fireworks and my trip was over New Years and there were loud noises that scared my dog. They were great about not only keeping me updated, but also showed a picture of my dog sitting on the couch with them which normally doesn’t happen easily with new people. I highly recommend these two and am definitely hoping to use them again in the future.”


“Franki was fantastic! She took such great care of our pups and home—we felt totally at ease while we were away. Can’t wait to book her again for future trips. Highly recommend! 😊”


“Amy was amazing! We have a 15 year old bichon who gets anxious when we are not home. Amy was so good to our little guy! He warmed right up to her! Amy was a fantastic house guest. We would definitely use Amy again and I would highly recommend her.”


“Brianna was simply Amazing!!! She kept us updated on how Buster was doing and included pictures of him enjoying time with his sitter. She even fixed one of our TV remote issues we had during her stay lol. She was very professional and treated our dog like he was her own. Would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone for care of their furbabies.”


About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.

“Our home and ESPECIALLY our dogs were very well cared for while we were on vacation! We received daily pictures and updates which we loved, and Sami was always responsive. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!”


“Hannah helped me out with a last minute request when my sitter got COVID. She was awesome!! Kept me updated and took great care of my pets. Highly recommend booking with Hannah!”


“Hannah was great! Both my dog and cat are typically very nervous of new people, but they warmed up to Hannah very fast! She sent great updates and tons of pictures which I really appreciated. I will definitely book with her next time I go away!”


About: I have plenty of hands-on cat and dog care experience. Last year, I lived with a sweet cat and a high-energy golden retriever, and often cared for them while my roommate was away for clinicals. I handled their daily care, playtime, and attention, so I know how to keep pets happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m in my final year of pharmacy school and currently have a break before my next clinical rotation. That means I’m free all day during the week and most weekends until October, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet and keep them happy, active, and loved. I don’t currently have a home with a yard suitable for a pet, as I’ll be moving around for school this year. That’s actually why I love helping care for other people’s animals! I focus on giving pets attention, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to follow their routines closely, whether it’s feeding or walks. Living with a golden retriever with high separation anxiety taught me a lot about the importance of just being present and sticking to the routine established by the owner.

“Couldn't be happier with Tonie! She took great care of our pup while we were on vacation. It was so nice to not have to worry, and know she was in good hands. Will absolutely be requesting her services again in the future.”


About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

About: I’m currently pursuing my education with one goal in mind: to make a meaningful difference in the lives of your beloved fur babies! Whether it’s training energetic puppies or giving extra love and care to senior pets, I’m here for it all. I’ve been caring for animals since I was just 4 years old, and with my Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Sciences—concentrating in Ecology—I’m excited to bring both heart and science together to provide the best care possible. Making tails wag and pets feel safe is truly my passion! I’m currently available on weekends, which means I can dedicate lots of quality time to caring for and playing with your fur baby! Now that I’ve finished college, I also have plenty of free time—perfect for early morning potty breaks, training sessions, fun play routines, and even overnight visits with attentive monitoring and late-night potty runs. Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority! I have spare crates available and two sweet pups of my own who love making new friends! With plenty of toys and regular trips to public parks, your fur baby will have lots of enrichment and playtime. My apartment even has a doggy-gated play area where your pup can run around safely and freely! For added peace of mind, I’m fully prepared for emergencies—I can crate when necessary, and I use doggy seat belts for safe car rides. I’m also CPR-certified and have hands-on experience with syringe-feeding medications if needed. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority!

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!
