“Samantha did an amazing job taking care of our dogs. Communication went very well and she was quick to respond. She even sent me pictures during the visit that I appreciated.”

“We’ve never been less than 100% thrilled when Cynthia watches our cats! They adore her, and we always come home to happy, healthy little guys. I genuinely could not praise her highly enough.”

“I can’t thank Brenna enough for her help. I had a last-minute family emergency and she stepped up immediately to care for my dog and two cats. She was incredibly reliable and professional throughout the entire stay. It’s a huge relief to find someone you can trust with multiple pets on such short notice. Everything went smoothly, and I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Jessalyn was so great with our cats! They can be a little shy, but they warmed up to her immediately. She kept them happy, healthy, and well cared for the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier!”


“Izzy was amazing! She kept us updated on everything she did to take care of our dogs. She sent pictures, and they looked so happy. We will definitely use her again for our future needs and I think everyone else should as well. She’s a 10/10.”

“Jessica was great with our 2 cats! Super communicative during every visit, our cats liked her (even our shy cat!), and she followed our directions perfectly. We got home and felt like we could get right back into our routine instead of triple checking that everything is well. She was really kind and accommodating about some scheduling mix ups on our end which was amazing. Would definitely trust her again and would recommend to any anxious travelers for some peace of mind.”

About: I absolutely love dogs and have two rescue dogs of my own who are just the best boys. I have a bit of experience with basic training as I have taken my dogs to training classes to work on their manners. In my free time, I volunteer at a local animal shelter where I get to spend time with dogs of all ages and sizes and also take them for day trips! I work from home, so I'm available all day to care for your precious fur baby just like what I do for my own dogs. During weekdays, I can take the dogs on walks in the evenings after work and during weekends I typically take them on longer hikes starting in the morning. I have a big fenced backyard with plenty of room for you fur baby to run around and two friendly dogs who love making friends.
“Andrew was amazing! My kitties are normally a bit weary around new people, but not with Andree. They felt right at home with her coming to visit and she was sure to spend some quality time with them. I will definitely book with Andree again!”


“Not many pet sitters on Rover know how to take care of cats. I'm glad I found Amanda & Cody. Both were super responsive and friendly, and shared pictures with us after every check-in. They took great care of Nyx & Ozzy. We came home to well fed, hydrated, happy kitties. Their litter box was also clean. I would definitely book them again, and recommend them to other cat parents.”

“Sierra did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She always arrived right on time for her visits and kept me updated with plenty of great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She took excellent care of everything and left my cats happy and content. I highly recommend her services!”
About: I started working with animals in a vet clinic at the age of 16. Since then I’ve worked with a variety of different animals in different clinical settings. I have provided care for animals of all ages and would love to provide the reassurance you need while you are away from your pet! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check in on your kitties!! I am available on the weekends and weekdays after 12pm! I have an extra room perfectly curated for kitties!! This will keep your kitty separate and safe and in their own environment to relax while you are away!
About: Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and are my biggest special interest. I grew up taking care of a multitude of different pets including cats, dogs, and birds…I love them all! I make sure to stay up to date with new pet care and training ideas. I believe in using positive reinforcement to build strong and healthy relationships with our pets and have taken courses in dog body language and have familiarized myself with Canine and Feline CPR and heimlich maneuver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I generally work in shifts of 4-5 hours so the longest your pet will ever need to be left by themselves is 5 1/2 hours My husband is a student and the university and can also help take care of pets if needed/wanted. I have a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who would love to keep your dog company if wanted otherwise I’m happy to visit your dog by myself. I can crate train or let your dog free roam, whichever you are most comfortable with
“this was my dogs’ first time being watched by someone outside the family, and zenia was so patient, sweet, and attentive with them. she made them feel safe and comfortable, and kept me updated the whole time. highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Jared took excellent care of our dog, fish, and house while we were away! He went above and beyond when the wind took some branches down and made sure our pets had a clean home and yard to enjoy while we were on vacation! Thank you Jared! 🐶🐾”

About: I've dedicated my life to caring for various beings, whether they're furry or human. From working with fosters from Rescue Rovers to raising my own pup, Gwenny, from a tiny furball, I've immersed myself in creating a safe, playful, and loving environment. With extensive experience in dog sitting, house-dog sitting, and caring for even huge dogs and high energy levels, I've consistently earned stellar reviews. My passion extends beyond pet care; I aspire to become a service animal trainer and am actively self-educating until I can pursue formal education. Your dog's well-being is my top priority, and I'll go above and beyond to provide them with the best treatment possible. Rest assured, your furry friend(s) will be loved and cared for just like they are a part of my own family. Im currently working part time and attending online school full time. Other than that, I have a few responsibilities I need to attend to (chores, family care, etc.) just like everyone else. No matter what I have planned, your pet will be the highlight! Unfortunately, since I moved, I can no longer pet sit or board at my home. However, I still have plenty of toys, treats, and tools to ensure your friend has a good time no matter where we are. I love a good game of tug-a-war or fetch! I will also play games and practice tricks. If they have a special diet they must stick to, please let me know.

“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”

Sierra did a wonderful job looking after my cats! She always arrived right on time for her visits and kept me updated with plenty of great pictures, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. She took excellent care of everything and left my cats happy and content. I highly recommend her services!
Our experience with Eva was outstanding. She cared for our Yorkie, Copper, over four days, providing excellent care and attention to detail. Eva's communication was superb, with regular photo updates and texts that kept us fully informed throughout. She followed Copper's feeding and outdoor routines meticulously, which helped build trust between them. Within a couple of days, Copper felt at ease enough to sit with Eva on the couch, showcasing the bond they formed. Given Copper's unique personality, which demands trust on his terms, Eva's ability to win him over speaks volumes about her capabilities. We strongly recommend Eva for her services and anticipate booking her again when we go on vacation! Thank you, Eva!

Jesi was so easy to communicate with and was so energetic! She made it so easy to work with. When you’re asking for someone to help with your furry friend you want to make sure you’re putting them into the right hands and I felt so at ease and confident when working with Jesi!
