“If I could, I would give Richard 10 stars. We highly recommend him and are looking forward to booking him again in the future. Our boys loved spending time with him & were at ease with him the whole time.”
“Sarah was great! She watched our house & 2 dogs while we were gone for a long weekend. The house was spotless and the pets seemed to do great! I would recommend her to others”
“Erin did a fantastic job caring for our two doggies while we were away for a few days. She kept us updated daily on how they were doing and sent photos every day. She also responded quickly to my messages. Riley and Jovie loved having her stay with them!”
“Heather was great for our overnight trip. She sent plenty of picture and updates on the animals through her entire stay. We had never left the animals with someone they didn't know for an overnight trip so we were a bit nervous on how things would go. It went so well that we will be using her again for a trip in the near future.”

About: I have had dogs my whole life, while I have started caring for them more without guidance. I have had experience with injured/sick dogs. My childhood dogs had/have some problems getting around. As well as some injuries leading to low mobility. You might also pick me because of my attention to details, love for being punctual, and my overall pleasant demeanor. I currently work about 15-20 hours at an arcade, that usually falls on the weekends. I am also going to school currently, specifically for Early Childhood Education. One of the biggest things to do while caring for pets is watch emotions and the little signs that the pet might be upset in away. While that’s big, you also need to know their routines and what happens when. It is important to put the least amount of stress on the animal when their parent is gone.
About: I bring not just experience, but heartfelt understanding. I currently have two young, energetic dogs and had the privilege of loving my previous senior dog. That journey taught me the full spectrum of pet care-from playful puppyhood to the tender needs of aging companions. I work full-time in healthcare, mostly from home. With an internet connection I can work almost anywhere. My dogs are rarely left at home for more than a few hours and never left alone overnight. I give that same time and energy to your pets. I will follow whatever guidelines you prefer within your home. Whether that’s crating, sleeping on the bed, or their own special bed. I take frequent walks (if desired) and do not leave pets outside unattended.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our three boxers received! It was clear Hannah had a genuine love for dogs and plenty of experience handling larger breeds. Our pups can be a handful, but she managed them with patience, confidence, and lots of affection. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us peace of mind and let us see how much fun they were having. It was obvious our dogs felt safe, happy, and loved the entire time we were away. Coming home to three relaxed and well-cared-for dogs was the best feeling. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and caring sitter. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“2nd time was a charm! Cloud enjoys having Victoria over and I could tell he was a very happy pup once I came back! Victoria was always super responsive and especially patient when it came to my phone being stolen while on vacation. My only form of communication was the rover app and Victoria was quick to help me out with what I needed! My home was VERY CLEAN when I got back and I really appreciate how honest, caring, and loving Victoria has been with Cloud! Thank you so much again! <3”
“Josh was amazing. I really felt like he treated brewtus like his own. I love the daily updates and pictures he provided! I would absolutely recommend him to watch your pets and I will happily have him back anytime!”
About: Over 7 years of caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs. I have a dog and cat of my own and experience with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and diabetic cats. I offer flexible, attentive care with a personal touch, such as sending updates & pictures to pet owners. I’m currently in school for X-Ray technology, which gives me a flexible schedule. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine, allowing me to provide check-ins, walks, or extended care based on each pet I care for pets the same way I’d want someone to care for mine—with attention, patience, and respect for their routines. I follow each pet’s specific needs, from daily walks and diets to unique quirks and preferences shared by the owner.
“Emily has dog sat/house sat on two different occasions for us now. We have two Pomeranians (10 and 9 years old). She is very respectful, kind and provides us updates often with photos. I would highly recommend Emily. She is very responsive and asked all the right questions during our interview process.”
“Mark was warm and friendly with our whole family and helped our Yorkie feel comfortable in our home while we were away! He left us a sweet drawing of our dog and was very communicative. We’d love to have him again!”
“Jada did a great job watching Lucas for the weekend! She sent pictures and always responded quickly to texts. My house was just as I had left it and was very clean. I would definitely recommend Jada and will be using her again for my next trip away.”
“Eric & Melissa did a wonderful job of taking care of our two dogs. We came home to happy dogs, a tidy house, and they gave us regular updates on how the dogs were doing when we were out of town.”

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Nathalie as a dog caretaker! From the moment we met, I could tell my pups would be in loving and capable hands. She is just an overall sweet and genuine person. Nathalie is reliable, attentive, and truly treats every dog like her own (she has one of her own too!). Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some quality playtime, I always feel completely at ease knowing our dogs (we have a Maltipoo and German Shepherd) are safe, happy, and well cared for. The updates and photos are such a thoughtful bonus, and our dogs always come home relaxed and content. I highly recommend Nathalie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter on Rover!!!!”

Riley was great! She came over to meet me and my dog before hand, then came back over to meet my new puppy too. She was very communicative and honest throughout her night with my dogs. Riley made me feel very comfortable with my first overnight sitting and I’d love to use her again!
Megan was great. We had her overnight sit for about a week. She was a great communicator and fast to respond to messages. She took great care of our senior dog and two cats who required medication and an inhaler. She left the house neat and tidy when we returned. We would happily book with Megan again and definitely recommend her!
Samantha went above and beyond while caring for my puppy. My pup was unexpectedly sick hours before my trip but Samantha came to the rescue. It would’ve been difficult for me to change my plans. I feel she understood my situation and cared for my dog as if it were own dog. I highly recommend Samantha! She is an amazing pet sitter.
Gillian took good care of my dog for a long weekend. I appreciated all of the pupdates and pictures! I loved that she was able to introduce my dog to another dog in a safe way. She took him on early morning and evening walks to keep him safe from the heat wave we’ve been having. I came home to a happy guy! Thanks again!
Jennifer did a great job house sitting while I was out of town for a business trip! She sent updates throughout the day, lots of pictures, and took great care of my dog and house. My dog is reactive and she worked well either him taking him on walks while I was gone. Thank you Jennifer!
Carissa was absolutely the best ever. We had to go out state to my uncle's funeral. Upon last minute she did a meet and greet and then gave excellent care to our Bailey. Our home was tidy, just as we left it. Bedding was removed and put by laundry area. When we arrived home, Bailey certainly showed no signs of lack of attention. He was calm, rested, and well taken care of.
