“Ashley was GREAT! I had a last minute trip pop up this weekend and she immediately responded to help me out. She even dropped what she was doing to come meet her that night! She was super responsive while I was away, and Brooklyn is worn out tonight- which I know is because she had so much fun! Thanks again, Ashley!”
“Keisha was a Godsend, one of our cat's requires daily meds, which he hates taking, and she made sure he got them with understanding and positivity, even when personally tested knowing the need that he received them.”
“I booked house sitting with Blythe because pet hotels stress my senior baby out. Blythe went above and beyond taking care of my senior baby. She did everything I asked and more. She updated me with pictures and my baby looked very comfy and happy. The whole process was very smooth and stress free. I will definitely be booking with Blythe again and recommend you do as well!”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing! She was really great at communicating and sending lots of pictures throughout the stay. Most notably, she went above and beyond to care for my dog when she was dealing with anxiety while I was gone by going for more walks and time at the dog park. All in all, she will be my sitter of choice whenever I go out of town.”
“Emily did a great job with our older dog. She communicated any concerns she had with him. The house was left in pristine condition. We were thankful to have her staying with Louie.”
“Berenice has a great heart for animals. Our dog has special needs and required hand feeding for meals. I think she would be a wonderful addition to your household, as an animal sitter. She has a kind disposition and will treat your pet with the utmost care. She left the house clean and played with our dog outside - he likes to sleep and can be lazy (so it was nice she provided enrichment playtime)! We got picture updates. She was on time for the meet and greet / when we left for our family trip to see relatives. Our dog seemed happy and content when we got home.”
“First time using Rover, but after meeting Danielle, concerns for Mitten were eased. Danielle was prompt, attentive to my concerns (as Mitten is a senior dog). She even sent pictures to ease my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Great experience. Thank you Danielle.”
About: ## INTRODUCTION Howdy there, thanks for choosing my Rover! I go by Billy! First things first — My highest priority is the safety and well-being of any dog in my care. Outside of that, I'm also big on making sure they have a blast, are loved, and feel secure in my home. I am energetic and warm, yet firm. I've owned and raised 4 dogs over the course of 18 years, from puppydom to old age, and have cared for many more. I am adept at handling dogs large and small - physically and training-wise. ## SCHEDULE I am fortunate to have a highly flexible schedule. Your dog will always be safe by my side. I’m quite fond of dogs, so it’s a joy for me to spend my time in this way. ## APPROACH TO CARE I want to understand the needs and expected behaviors of any pet in my care, given your specific guidance and instructions. I am highly communicative and err on the side of caution, as your doggo’s safety and well-being are absolutely the highest priority for me. I have a highly flexible schedule since I'm in the middle of a job search, so I'll have all the time in the world to hang, play with, and co-work with your pup! I have the entire upper floor of my house available for your dog to lounge and roam in, equipped with multiple dog beds and lots of toys. There's also a fenced yard in the back whose concretedness is optimal for ball bouncing and catching, keep away, chasing, and more!
“Caitlin was amazing with our big guy Giannis! She had excellent communication with us all weekend, and her love for our big slobbery guy was apparent!!!”
“To us, Jenn is professional, responsive, attentive, and a great communicator. For our fur baby, she is warm and caring. We are repeat clients and have strong piece of mind working with her. Thank you, Jenn!”
About: I'm an animal lover who grew up with lots of beloved cats and dogs at home. Today, I have a sweet and silly cat named Yukon Cornelius. I walked dogs as a part-time job in college and would love to get out and spend time with furry friends again! As for sitting, I'm a Reading Teacher who works remotely, which will allow me to spend quality time with your beloved pet- in their own home- while you're away. There are less teaching opportunities in the summer, so I have plenty of time to dog-walk between classes. And since I mostly work remotely, I can pet-sit in your home and spend plenty of quality time with your furry friend. When pet-sitting in your home, I know familiar patterns are important in keeping pets healthy and happy. I am dedicated to following feeding, play, and exercise schedules.

“I can’t recommend Joely enough! We needed a pretty last minute dog sitter for our two-week vacation to Italy, and she was a complete lifesaver. Our two boys absolutely loved her, and she sent photo updates everyday, which we were extremely thankful for since we missed them so much! We will definitely rebook Joely again for all of our dog sitter needs :)”
“I could not say enough great things about katie! As a new dog mom to a puppy, she was so patient and so attentive to my boy. Katie sent tons of pictures, videos and kept me updated routinely on anything that had changed. She was a respectful house guest and provided excellent care to my dog while I was working very long hours for three consecutive days. My mama heart was at ease knowing I had such an excellent person taking the best care of my dog!!”
“We were happy to re-connect with Jordanne for dog sitting this summer. She is prompt, attentive and responsible, and so we are very comfortable with her caring for our senior dog Connor. We have already booked her for another visit!”
“Holly was amazing!! She sent pictures of our fur babies every day. They looked so happy and loved! I've never felt so comfortable leaving out dogs with someone. I definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Sarah was amazing!!sent updates and pictures during her stay. Came back to a clean house and happy pets! We will definitely be having her watch our girls again :)”
About: I am comfortable watching any kind of pet whether it be dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, barn babies…I love all animals. I teach dog and goat yoga classes so I am very skilled at calming animals down. I am available to watch pets on the weekends or do home visits for your pets during the week. I am available for overnights and am willing to travel within 25 miles. I care for pets by making sure they have adequate food, water, snuggles if they want, clean environments, and exercise needs met. If you want your pet to have someone to play with, I am all about getting on the floor and playing at their level!

20. Margaret T.
“Leaving my cat for an extended period made me worry, but Margaret was a game-changer. For several months, she cared for my lil kitty, and I can honestly say I never worried once. Margaret's love for animals is palpable; she's not just a caregiver, she's a true animal lover. My cat adores her and the extra love she receives on a daily basis! I received regular updates, complete with photos and videos, which were so comforting. Beyond her obvious compassion, Margaret is incredibly reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. She's a genuinely kind and trustworthy person, and I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for the best possible care for their beloved pets. Thanks to Margaret, I had complete peace of mind knowing my cat was in the best hands.”
