“Patricia is amazing and she is our go-to sitter. She takes great care of our dogs and house. She is highly reliable and I feel completely at ease knowing my pups are in her hands.”
“We hired Holly to house sit Tycho (cat) for two weeks. She was kind enough to put up with all our instructions and sent plenty of updates. Furthermore our kitty is extremely skittish and he warmed up to her very quickly. Will absolutely hire her again.”


“Jenna is the best Rover sitter I've found! Sends regular updates, is super thoughtful and takes great care of my older pup. Trustworthy, reliable. Have used her before and will continue to book with her!”

About: I may not have dogs of my own but I sure do love being around them. Before moving I use to volunteer at an animal shelter and I loved it there just to see how dogs were able to have at least a couple of minutes of happiness from pups to seniors. I also foster kitties and have two of my own! I am currently attending nursing school, so can’t fit a full time job into my schedule. This is the best option because it’s something I love and I can still complete my studies! I would first build trust with the animal ensuring they are not frightened by me. Aside from that I love for the owners to tell me more about their pet to allow me to best adjust my skills to accommodate the pet.

“If I could give 10 stars I would! Not only did Kelcya and Elizabeth take fantastic care of our baby and kept us updated - they left an amazing snippet of Sookie’s behavior while we were gone. Already booking with them again!”

About: I have been a pet owner for virtually my entire life! Cats, dogs, rabbits and even a bird! My partner and I recently lost our beloved Jack Russell Terrier “Terrie” after 14 wonderful years. While regular travel commitments make it difficult to adopt another companion of our own at this time, we would love the opportunity to care for your “best fur-iend” when we are home! My partner and I both work from home, so, rest assured, someone will always be there with your pet for playtime, potty breaks and walks. I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. The house is of a decent size and currently we are without a full-time pet of our own. Your pet will enjoy being the center of attention!
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“This is my second time booking RJ to watch my dog at my place and he was amazing once again. He sends daily pics and updated me on how my little girl was doing which provides a lot of peace of mind, especially having a senior dog. Whenever he had a question he would reach out which I appreciated.”


About: Ever since I was 10 I've taken care of dogs. I have experience in many different ages of dogs from newborn puppies to full grown. Since it is summer your pets will always fit in my schedule! Saturday and Sunday will be the only days I can't fit your pets in. I will always be willing to feed, clean, play and walk with your pets if they need it. I can stay overnight too as well.
“Sabrina was wonderful! She was very organized, communicative, and always on time. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she even left it cleaner than when we left. She sent photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and showed how well our pets were being cared for. Leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, but with Sabrina we had no concerns at all. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”

“We are so grateful to have found Erika! She is amazing with our dogs. She is very responsive and a great communicator. We could go on our trip feeling at ease knowing our dogs and house were in really good hands. It was a great experience from start to finish. Thank you Erika!”

“Cheryl did a wonderful job with our two dogs, one of which is a very large senior! She went above and beyond when some unexpected events occurred in our house while we were gone for over three weeks. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I’ve trained and cared for many dogs throughout my life, from agility training high energy puppies, to senior canine hospice. I’ve been a volunteer with the ASPCA since December of 2023 and have deployed to their cruelty recovery center in Ohio multiple times as a volunteer kennel technician. I currently work as a veterinary assistant at a small practice in Woodland, Ca I am currently working full time Tuesday-Friday 8am-5:30pm as a veterinary assistant, and Saturdays 8am to noon, so when I’m not at work, I love to spend my time giving your pet(s) the attention and structure that they deserve! I can stay overnight with your pet, or do daily check ins starting at 6 am. Any time I leave your pet unattended I can provide them with a safe form of enrichment to keep them busy.

About: I've taken care of my dogs, friends' dogs, and house-sat for dog owners. I’m experienced with dogs of all energy levels and temperaments. I currently work Sunday through Wednesday, and I’m fully available Thursday through Saturday. On those days, I can give your pet my full attention and focus on their care, routine, and needs. On Sunday through Wednesday, I am available before 8 am and after 8 pm. I provide dog sitting and dog walking with a strong focus on safety, trust, and maintaining each dog’s normal routine. I am comfortable with small dogs and large dogs who need a lot of exercise.
“Great dog sitting experience with Jenna!! So kind and thoughtful of our dogs needs! Unfortunately we had a need for Last minute booking and Jenna was available and we were blessed!!”

Cheryl was wonderful with our two dogs. We had a last minute emergency and asked Cheryl to start her house sitting stay earlier, which she was able to accommodate. Our dogs take some time to warm up to new people, but they seemed so comfortable in Cheryl's care, which gave us a ton of peace of mind during a difficult time. She was also great at communicating with us through the booking process and during her stay and was a very gracious house guest.

I cannot say enough good things about Stina! She took incredible care of my very particular but lovable goof of a dog, Millie! Taking her on walks every day and making sure she ate all her meals! Not only that, she took great care of my home! Going above and beyond making sure my plants were watered and taking full responsibility for the house! I felt more than comfortable knowing that she was there while I was out of the country. I wouldn't hesitate to have Stina take care of your pets, and I'll certainly be having her take care of Millie in the future!

Kacey was awesome with my dog Daisy. My place was left in great condition. My dog was happy and well cared for. I got pictures everyday and felt comfortable that i had nothing to worry about. Additionally, i messed up my return date and she was super accommodating with little notice. I definitely recommend Kacey!!!

Jacob has been amazing and we are grateful to have him house sit & look after our two furry family members. We were out for over 9 days and needed someone to look after our dogs while we were on the east coast. Jacob was phenomenal- very detailed and respected our wishes for the dogs and went above and beyond. Every day we received updates on walks, feeding (food & treats), working through discipline issues, training them along the way (we are still following his recommendations) and just being the absolute best pet sitter and carer. He is very detailed oriented; we had left some instructions and he not followed those to a tee. The house was clean & immaculate after we returned. Our furry family remembers were happy, healthy and well behaved!! Jacob was also flexible when our flight was delayed and stayed with the dogs till late. I will highly recommend Jacob to anyone who is considering using the service. It’d be hard to find a better sitter and companion. Absolutely the best!!!
Jessie was great with my pup! He is over 6 years old and this was his first experience with an overnight pet sitter. Jessie was very communicative, sending pictures and updates throughout the stay, making me feel comfortable while I was away. She also followed his routine perfectly so he also felt very comfortable with her. Definitely hope to work with Jessie again!

Jessica is so kind and considerate, and always makes me feel so comfortable leaving my kitten at home with her. I’ve never seen my shy kitten warm up to anyone as fast as she has with Jessica! She is very communicative and asks thoughtful questions. So glad I found her!

As always, Joel takes care of Loki so well, and looks after our home and treats it with respect. He house sits and looks after Loki frequently, on this occasion he went the extra mile by being so flexible. We extended his stay at the beginning and the end of our trip away, and at very short notice. Thank you Joel, we appreciate you.

Patricia was great! She was very responsive when I would reach out. She house sat for us for 3 nights. We have a German Shepherd and an outdoor only cat. Both pets were very well cared for with updates. Patricia sent cute photos showing what they were doing. Our dog got to go swimming in our pool and play! It was great to just be able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our home or pets. We will definitely ask her to house sit again.

Jazmine was communicative, attentive to our cat’s personality and needs, and went above and beyond to make sure she was well entertained and stimulated. Our cat wasn’t grumpy when we got home and seemed to really love her. Bonus: takes great photos for you while you miss your pet :)

Jenna is such a sweetheart! She watched my two pups Luna and Chico and my sister’s dog Archie at my house. She sent pictures and updates multiple times a day which was so helpful! The dogs loved her immediately and were so comfortable. I would have Jenna watch them any time!
