“This was our first time using Rover and Mitchell made it so easy for us. Everything we needed was done perfectly, and dealt with our very difficult cat in a very kind/professional manner. Communication throughout our time away was fantastic, we always knew exactly what was going on at home. He went above and beyond to make sure our home was welcoming to come back to (all trash taken out, area around litter boxes vacuumed, etc). You can see the joy on his face when we talks about animals, he took care of our cats as if they were his own. 100% recommend Mitchell as a sitter!”


“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”


“Macie was such an amazing care giver to my Golden retriever Nala! Nala has a lot of energy and Macie did amazing. I love when people love the things I love and when I heard Macie talk to Nala the same way I do (like a baby) I knew she was in great hands!! I recommend her and will be using her again”


“I couldn't be happier with the care Anastasia provided for my pets while I was away. She went above and beyond during her drop-in visits, making sure they were well-fed, happy, and comfortable. I appreciated the updates and photos she sent, which gave me great peace of mind. My pets were clearly loved and well-cared for, and I will definitely be booking her again!”


About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself As the summer is coming to a close soon, my schedule has to change due to graduate school as my main priority. I will keep my calendar as up to date as I can. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

“Very late review. Lauren was wonderful with my cats over a 5 day period in August. We had just moved and they seemed just a swell adjusted after our absence. Kudos!”


“Amber was an exceptional cat sitter. Great communication, my pets did wonderfully with her and I really appreciated the pictures she sent daily of her spending time with my cats. I would definitely rebook her pet sitting services again.”


“Candice took great care of our kitties while we were away on vacation! She was great with communication and did all requested care tasks while also bringing in packages and cleaning up after messes made by our mischievous cat. Both of our cats seemed to warm up to her immediately, even our more timid cat that typically hides from all humans that aren’t us. We will definitely look to book Candice again for future drop in visits.”


About: I have owned dogs all my life and cared for the at all ages from puppy to old age. There is a giant soft spot in my heart for elderly pets though. They are so sweet and I genuinely enjoy taking care of any pet. I currently have two cats one dog and a turtle I tend to and have petsat for all of my family members. Losing my sweet Ruby to cancer in January has made me look into caring and volunteering with animals. It sounds so fulfilling and I can’t wait to meet all your sweet fur babies! I’m currently working full time 6am-2pm on weekdays and can be available any other time and can still do overnights as long as your pets are fine for an 8 hour work day. I know that pets are family and have always treated them as such. I never really let anyone I didn’t know watch my dog when she was still here. She was dog reactive and needed meds cuz she was old. So I’m perfect for pet parents that may be a little worried about a stranger watching their beloved pet because I completely get it and take extra care.

About: My personalized pet care goes beyond the basics, catering to every need with specialized services like puppy training and compassionate senior care, ensuring tails wag with joy! I work from home with a very flexible work schedule and can accommodate your best friend’s needs! I will be an extension of you for them! I treat my dog as if she’s my daughter, and would do the same for your fury babies! I live in townhome and have a giant park with tons of green space one block over! Whatever you’re pets needs are I am here to pamper them as if they are on their own vacation :)

“Sierra did a fantastic job with our very scared rescue Bernese. Very attentive to her, gave her medicine, pet her, and even cleaned up after an accident. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”


About: Veterinary Assistant here 👋 I will be offering house sitting services for the time being, as it accommodates my schedule. I have open availability. I will be designing business cards with Rover, which will feature my referral code. New pet parents can enjoy $20 off their initial booking. Furthermore, I will offer a 20% discount when you book with me for the third time as well as a goody bag for your fur baby. Please feel free to share my profile with other pet parents who may be interested in my services. Thank you very much. I have plenty of time to hang out and care for your pets. I am able to move around my schedule to best fit your and your pets needs. Because I will be caring for your pets in your home, I will be sure to communicate with you of what your standard procedures are and will follow through with the same procedures to create a sense of stability for your pets.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 5 years—everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs, and I’m happy to administer oral medications or follow any routine you already have in place. What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and attention to detail. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stimulated while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, enrichment games, or sticking to strict schedules, I adapt to your pet’s unique personality and needs. I am usually available friday to sunday if you want me to stay all the time with your dog. I work full time Monday - Thursday 8 am - 5 pm. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where safety and comfort come first. My home is fully pet-proofed with secure spaces for play, rest, and feeding. I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and bedtime rituals to help them feel safe and settled. Also i have a semi fenced yard and not kids or other pets around. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to be a respectful and reliable presence. I maintain your pet’s regular routine, keep their space tidy, and treat your home with care. I provide regular updates with photos and notes so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s in your home or mine, I take safety seriously: doors and gates stay secure, walks are done with caution and awareness, and I closely monitor each pet’s behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.
