“The boys were happy during their stay!! They received lots of ❤️, cuddles, and back scratches. Bre provided me with frequent updates and pictures. I will definitely use her services again!!”
About: Animals are my greatest passion. I have 4 years under my belt of experience watching dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I am very good at ensuring all dogs are fed, hydrated, use the bathroom, and are played with often to ensure they aren’t bored. Alongside this, I take things such as medication, any health conditions, and the personal comforts of your animals very seriously. I have the most experience with small to medium sized dogs, but I am open to caring for large dogs as well. As I’m naturally an early bird, I tend to wake up at 7:00 - 7:30. I have had to wake up even earlier to head over to my neighbor’s house feed and care for dogs while they’re away. I prefer walking dogs twice a day unless the owner says otherwise. One walk in the morning and one in the evening. As for cats, I will usually scoop at least once every day, every morning. Though I may scoop even more if they go more often. Since I don’t have my own car yet, I can only uber, walk, or have my mother drive me to people’s houses. Because of this I prefer house sitting, often for days at a time because I don’t have to go back and forth from one place to another.
“Dani is the best!! She watched our dog at our house for a whole week between Christmas & New Years. She is very reliable and kind! Her communication was great - we received lots of sweet pictures and updates throughout her stay which was such a treat! Our dog immediately took to Dani and they became best friends right away 🥰 It was so nice knowing Winston was in good hands while we were gone. We would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones!”
“Sandra was amazing! After a bad experience with another sitter she took over and was so kind and loving to our special needs dog. She really took the time to bond with him. We would definitely recommend Sandra to anyone looks for compassionate pet care’”
“Sophia dog sat in our house over Memorial Day weekend & was fantastic!! She sent several updates and photos daily. She was super responsive and our doggies seemed to be happy in her care! She left our house in great condition. She even volunteered to let out the dogs again after leaving due to our flight being delayed. Would highly recommend her for any dog sitting or drop-in needs!!”
“Hanna was just perfect for my two pups. she stayed in contact and sent me pictures and/or video every day. Very professional and left the house clean. if you love your pups, she will love them right back.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs in Ann’s care!! She kept me updated consistently and seemed to really care about my pups!! She also left the house in great condition. Can’t say enough good things about the experience!”
“Theresa was an excellent house/dog sitter who works remotely and thus was at our home much of the time. Communication was excellent. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I love all dogs and Gods creatures. I have been around animals all my life. I used to sit outside as a kid on my grandmas porch giving the stray cats attention. If anyone in my family had a dog I would find myself on the floor spending quality time with the dog. I also have a special place in my heart for elderly dogs. I want them to be comfortable and happy. I work part time from home, so I have plenty of time to give care and love to your dog. I can also take them for walks if they need exercise! I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run around and have potty breaks. I can make a cozy spot at bedtime for your pet if you are able to provide their crate. I will make sure they are fed, safe and happy.
“Flo is the absolute best! Our pups love her so much and we are so grateful to have found someone to care for our boys while we’re away. She has been one of the few people we have found on rover that we can completely relax and 100% trust with our home! We hope she loves us just as much to keep coming back, she’s our #1!!”
“Hope was so great to work with: she gave regular updates, the house was in good shape when we got back and most importantly, the doggos were happy and calm. We absolutely will have her help us in the future!”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter, and I was honestly a little nervous leaving my pet with someone new. But the experience turned out amazing. They were very kind, reliable, and kept me updated with messages and pictures, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My pet looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. You can tell they genuinely care about animals. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
About: I’m a big lover of all kinds of animals! In my life i’ve had dogs of all sizes, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and fish! I’ve spent years volunteering at animal shelters and for an organization called Canine companions where i’ve raised and trained 2 service dogs until they were ready to begin working! I would absolutely love to help care for your pets!! I’ll be working 8am-5pm this summer M-F but i’m available afternoons, mornings and weekends! I’m also happy to do overnights I’m happy to walk and play with your pets! I have experience training dogs so i’d love to work on tricks and interact with all of your animals!
“We booked Kaylen for house sitting with our two cats and two dogs for a few days while we were out of town and I can’t say enough great things about her! The animals instantly warmed to her and we loved receiving the photo updates each day. She walked the dogs each morning and even gave them a little grooming while we were gone! Truly an overall 10/10 experience and we are so thankful she was available to stay with our pets!”
About: I have 7 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience, primarily caring for the pets of family and friends. Growing up around dogs and cats of all sizes has made me very comfortable and confident with animals of different personalities and energy levels. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I always make it a priority to stick closely to their feeding, walking, medication, and sleep schedules to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals and giving them the care and affection they deserve. I currently work part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time during the mornings and throughout the day. This allows me to easily fit pet walks, drop-ins, feedings, playtime, and check-ins into my routine without feeling rushed. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making time for your pets is something I genuinely look forward to. Typically I like to keep my drop-in visits anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour! Whether your pet needs a consistent daily schedule or extra attention during the day, I’m able to provide dependable and attentive care. For drop-in visits and dog walks, I focus on making pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. During drop-ins, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get bathroom breaks, playtime, attention, and any other care instructions requested by the owner. I also spend quality time with them so they feel less stressed and more comfortable while their owner is away. For dog walks, I make sure each walk matches the dog’s energy level and needs, whether that means a slow relaxed walk or a more active one. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive to surroundings, keeping pets secure on walks, and making sure they return home happy and comfortable. I’m very patient, dependable, and genuinely enjoy building trust with animals and their owners. If I have any questions or doubts I will always communicate clearly with you!
About: Hi!! I’ve had experience watching my friends and family’s pets (both cats and dogs). I also have a dog of my own, which I love caring for, and I can’t wait to care for your pets! I’m home for the summer and I am free all the time! I can do all of my selected services any day of the week! I know how important peace of mind is when trusting someone with your animals, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout my time with your pet!
“We were so lucky to find Janet. She was a great sitter and friend to our dogs and I appreciate her kindness and attention so much. She sent fun pics and we were confident that Ella and Barney were in the best hands possible. Thanks, Janet, you were the best. Woof Woof!”
“Leticia went above and beyond during her stay with Oxford and Nellie. We had to leave town unexpectedly and she was so prompt in her response and willingness to come over for a walk through before we left town. Our dogs were well cared for as well as our home. I will be re-booking again!”
About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and currently have two cats of my own, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. I’ve also helped care for pets for family and friends, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m available weekday evenings after 5 and all weekend, and I treat every pet like my own. Pet care fits well into my routine since I work weekdays during the day and am available after 5 PM on weekdays and all day on weekends. I also care for my two cats daily, so looking after pets is already part of my everyday routine! I care for pets in my client’s home by following their routine to keep them comfortable and secure. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I also monitor their well-being and keep their environment clean and safe. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and treat every pet and their home with kindness and respect.

Daniella and Justin were awesome! This is the first time I’ve left Sasha and I was very nervous! They made it super easy! They left notes for how the dogs did and it was clear that my pups were safe and well taken care of. And that is really all anyone can ask for!
Caitlin is amazing she came through when I needed last minute. She was communicating with me the whole time giving me updates on my pup throughout the sitting, she really went above and beyond I couldn’t be more grateful and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Could not have asked for a better sitter! Andi was AMAZING and is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find! She cared for our pup (and home) like her own, kept us updated with lots of photos and messages, and made being away totally stress-free. Our house was spotless (seriously cleaner than when we left!) and our pup was all smiles when we got home. Truly the best--we'll definitely be repeat clients!
I have used Lily for dog sitting in my home and was very pleased with her reliability, communication, and care for my pet. I will not hesitate to book Lily when I must travel again. She asked great questions and then provided excellent care for Bentley. You can fully trust that your pet is in wonderful hands. I highly recommend her services! You will not be disappointed.
