“Did a great job managing our house full of animals while we were away for two weeks. We came home to happy healthy animals, and I could tell they'd been well-cared for!”


“Keisha was amazing!! She sent lots of updates on our dog and spent really good time with her the whole 5 day trip. She was in such good hands and we would DEFINITELY use her again! Thank you!!”


“Jamie is awesome! She was so personable with our kitties and they loved her! During a weekend overnight stay, we got many updates and great photos. One of our cats has anxiety issues and Jamie provided recommendations to help us ease her nerves when meeting new people. Highly recommend her!”



“As usual, a smooth transaction/stay! We absolutely love Ashley. She is very flexible, punctual and most importantly - clean (we only do home stays). Our pup is always happy to see Ashley and enjoys her company very much.”


“Jasmine was a fantastic person to have house sit for our pets! She sent many updates and photos. I know that she took the best care of our Great Dane (and cat!). I would highly recommend her! Hope we can book her again.”


“Adrinne was incredible! She took great care of our dog, Rita, taking her on my walks, to dog-friendly coffee shops, and many snuggles. She sent photos and updates every day. We would highly recommend her and look forward to having her back!”


“Melissa was outstanding!! We for sure could not have asked for anyone better to come stay with our babies. We got daily pictures and updates and you could tell she loved them like her own. We can not wait for her to come back as we already have her booked for more sittings!”


“I loved Alyssa's help taking care of my dog Tango. She did everything I asked her to do. She was very responsible and my dog Tango loved her. During my trip, she sent me photos of Tango's walks with her in the park. 100% recommended.”


“Tishara was a wonderful and caring pet sitter. She stayed at our home and ensured our pups were loved on while we were gone. She was quick to communicate with us when needed and shared great photos. One of our dogs requires medicine 2x daily so Tishara made sure she understood how to administer it as well as any emergency contacts she might need while we’re gone. It is so reassuring to know someone is looking after your pets with that much care and concern.”


“Elizabeth did the most fantastic job with our dog Annie. She was always fast to respond and sent multiple updates with pictures! Annie can be reactive and has grudges against many of our neighbors dogs so leaving her with someone new for neighborhood walks can be daunting. I felt completely confident in Elizabeth after one walk with her and Annie. We will absolutely be reaching back out to Elizabeth the next time we are looking for a rover! Thank you so much for the best first rover experience.”


About: I LOVE DOGS. Their lives are short, and I want to help them enjoy those years with comfort, care, and fun. I have had a dog companion in my life since I was five years old. I especially enjoy caring for high-energy dogs who need regular exercise—I’m always up for long walks, playtime, or outdoor adventures. I also have experience with senior dogs, and I understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and keeping routines consistent. I’ve successfully trained dogs to potty outside, sit on command, and even walk off-leash. Whether your pup is young and active or older and needs a slower pace, I’ll make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I function better with a dog at my side. Dogs help me start my day with purpose—there’s nothing like a good morning walk to get us both moving and ready for breakfast and whatever the day brings. I love building routines that keep dogs active, happy, and well cared for. I work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible and allows me to be fully present for pet care throughout the day. With cats, I understand how much they value consistency. I’m attentive to their morning and evening routines—feeding, cleaning the litter box, and giving them space or affection depending on their mood. I also make time for play and interaction throughout the day, based on each cat’s personality. Communication is everything. I try to make sure I understand each animal's boundaries and needs before providing care, this includes list of allergies and medications.

“As always, Lily goes above and beyond. Helped navigate an u expected, significant GI problem with one of the dogs that required a visit for emergency care and helping mitigate a significant clean-up job. Communicated fantastically throughout the saga”


“Carrianne did a wonderful job caring for my dog when I went out of town for a weekend. Penny takes some time to warm up to people and Carrianne was very patient and understanding throughout that process. She followed the care instructions I left and sent daily updates with important information (e.g., walks, eating habits, general behavior) with photos. She also stayed overnight in my apartment and left everything really tidy. I couldn't be happier with the care Penny received and will definitely rebook for future travel plans!”


“Carly was so great to work with! She was prompt to respond and set up a meet and greet! She was able to work with our schedule and took great care of our pets. I got daily updates with some great pictures of Melody and Theo! Would definitely like to work with her again!”


“Very hard for me to leave my baby! But Bowie was at ease with Travis right away (and she can be particular about men)! He did a great job of making sure I felt comfortable and putting my mind at ease by sending lots of great pictures where Bowie looked happy and she got lots of walks and outdoor time!”


“Camille did a wonderful job taking care of my buddy, Gordon. She kept me informed with texts and photos all the while i was away. She was very professional and easy to work with. i will ask for her again for my next trip.”


“Malissa is great, she's watched our high energy pitbull a few times now and does a great job. She sends good updates and has kept our place and pup in great shape.”


“Kathryn has been amazing! She picked up a request super last minute and was so sweet to my pup. She really goes above and beyond what a typical dog watcher would do. Would definitely recommend!!”
