“I can't say enough about how great Rachel is! Bunnies are very hard to care for, and she does it at an all-star level. We came home to clean, happy bunnies and a beautifully cared for home. She sent great updates every day that made us smile! We will have her back every time we need a sitter.”

“Sarah was great! She was there to keep our pets comforted during the 4th of July fireworks and helped our pup heal up his paw! Would definitely recommend Sarah for anyone needing a good sitter.”

“My cats do not like anyone but Nimbus loved her. Even looked for her after she was done watching them. There was also the added task of keeping my fish alive and they were all there when I got home. As long as Emily isn't busy, she will probably be watching the cats again.”

“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.”

“Alexis saved the day when we had a last-minute cancellation for a long trip. She was wonderful and spent lots of time with our pets, sending updates and giving them lots of love!”

“Emily did a great job watching my pups, and chickens. Easy and quick communication, she took the pups on some adventures as well. Highly recommend her and would use her again.”

“Kimberly was fantastic in every way! She was so caring of Sunny who became quite ill while under her care. She handled everything professionally and compassionately. She went over and above, even accompanying our son to the vet.”

“We really appreciated the periodic updates as we were in New Zealand. Good to know your pup is being taken well care of being so far away. Would definitely use her services again.”


About: Surrounded by dogs my entire life, I’ve helped care for family pets and lovingly raised my own for 3 years. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and a safe, loving space while keeping owners informed. Available Friday–Sunday for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m dependable, follow your pet’s routine, and always share photo updates so you feel comfortable while you’re away. I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and supervised. I follow your instructions, keep everything secure, and send updates. I also have a friendly, energetic dog who’s happy to play — only if you and your dog are comfortable.
“Elizabeth was wonderful! Our pups were well loved and safe. She was trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure the house was left in excellent condition. We look forward to having her back.”

“Emily was wonderful - communicative, friendly, and our dog and cat clearly loved her. She sent amazing pictures and updates and allowed us to feel completely relaxed about being away. Thanks, Emily!!!”

“Alexy and Dylan took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. We got lots of pics, videos and updates. They also left our apartment in great shape. We will be using them again.”

“Stephanie was amazing with our dogs! She was on time, communicative, helpful, and easy to get along/work with. We would absolutely have her over to hang with the dogs again. Thank you Stephanie!”

“Libby was wonderful with taking care of my cat and dog! She made sure they were both safe, fed and exercised. She also did extra house needs, like taking in the mail, watering the flowers and attending to my garbage cans on weekly pick-up! Highly Recommended!”


About: Growing up, I’ve had two dogs, a Beagle and Maltese. I’ve babysat all different types of breeds from Golden Retriever to Huskies to Border Collies. So truly no dog is too big nor too small for me to take care of! I am currently attending school online, so I have the flexibility to be there at after bark or call! I normally go for a couple hour long walk, so adding your pet in the mix would only help me! Previously, I have watched both cats and dogs in their homes, as its the best for a the transition. Furthermore, with the familiar environment, it helps the pet maintain their schedule and most times holds the tools to groom them, feed them, and play with them!
About: I have 16+ years pet care experience with Dogs, and 20+ years experience with dogs. I treat my pet companions like family, always. My dog Marley gets walked, bathed and has daily playtime. My cat Katara has daily playtime and even plays with me and my pup. They are two peas in a pod and love each others time. I have experience administering pets meds as well as bathing cats and dogs. Pet care falls into my daily routine naturally. My pet babies know when I get home they get 1 treat, Marley knows he goes out to use the bathroom and goes for his daily walk. When Marley and I get back from our walk its playtime for all three of us. I have a very nice pet friendly apartment complex, as well as many safe areas for us to explore! I can provide animal care services on an as needed basis, I will just need to be notified ahead of time of meds, allergies, pet specific foods etc.
“Kim was absolutely perfect! She communicated very consistently while I was away & made a creative effort to get my anxious dog to eat when he wouldn’t. She also left a really cute card for me when I returned home. I felt like Tino was in very safe & capable hands. We can’t wait to book with Kim again!”
Root Creek pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlyn was once again outstanding. She provided excellent care for our five dogs and accommodated our newest addition on short notice. She handled Mayhem’s medications perfectly (which is an absolute necessity as she has Addison’s Disease) and shared lots of regular photo updates, which we greatly appreciated during our 10-day absence. Our dogs clearly adore her and are always excited to see her. This is our fourth time using Caitlyn, and we hope she’ll continue to sit for us! I really can’t say enough good things!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Soni! She is incredible and Nicky loved staying with her. I was across the country and went on a cruise and was able to enjoy my time knowing my baby was so well taken care of. Homemade food, daily walks, detailed updates and communication. She even helped us out last minute when our flighta changed. Thank you Soni! I will be booking for ALL of our future vacations! 🩵 Nicky has found a true friend!

Emily was wonderful with my two cats, Monty and Peanut, while I was out of town for a few days. She stayed at my house and kept them company. She checked in with me a couple of times a day with photos and any updates or questions. I felt much more at ease while I was gone, knowing that Emily was taking such good care of them. I would and will have her back again.

Melissa was amazing with our two labs. She took impeccable care of them and our home. She is conscientious, organized and soooo kind! Our girls loved her. Lots of pictures and updates. Our minds were at ease during our last minute getaway! Would absolutely recommend!

Ashley took absolutely excellent care of our cat while we were out of the country for a week! I knew from the moment she met our cat during our meet and greet that our little girl was going to be in great hands. Throughout the trip, Ashley reached out with check-ins and photos reflecting how well she was being taken care of. She also responded quickly to any messages and went above and beyond watching our place. We (and our cat) look forward to seeing her again in the future!

Alissa was amazing! I can’t say enough good things about her. Her communication was phenomenal and she went above and beyond to take great care of our dog while we were away on vacation. The house was perfect when we got back and she sent numerous updates and pictures while we were away. We would gladly welcome her back!

We can't speak highly enough of Katherine who has watched our house and pets numerous times. She is caring, thoughtful, and provides the pets (dog and 2 cats) with all the attention they need and then some. We came home to a spotless house and felt comfortable/like the pets were in good hands while we were abroad.

This was our first time using Alex to watch our pets and it won’t be the last! He did a great job with our two dogs and three cats and taking care of our home. He kept us updated regularly and sent us photos. He was very respectful of our home! I would definitely recommend Alex and will be using him in the future!
