“I was away for 10 days in July, the longest I’ve ever left my dog, Miley. Once again, Carole was wonderful and was Max. Miley takes time to warm up to people and she’s great with Carole and Max—it’s a relief knowing that Miley is in such good hands!”

“Madison was amazing! Our dogs immediately fell In love with her at the meet and greet and she was great with them. Awesome communication with us and I felt confident our pups were safe and sound and well taken care of the whole time. Would absolutely book with her again!”

“Lily is great with the dogs. Really appreciated the care and love she gave them as well as helping with house sitting while we were gone. Loved the photos and daily updates.”

“Ivy was a fantastic sitter for our dog! He can be fearful meeting new people, but Ivy was so patient with him and they were besties in no time. We received lots of updates and photos, our apartment was left in great condition and our dog’s needs were met above and beyond. Knowing he was in good hands made being away a lot easier. :)”

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Finn. He can be a little nervous around new people, but she was so kind and patient that he quickly felt at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, including a few of Finn happily cuddling with her, something that tells me he truly felt safe and comfortable in her care. It’s such a relief knowing he was loved and well taken care of while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with Jasmine again!”

“My kitties had a great time with their new friend Marilia. When Marilia came back to the house, even my shy Chico cat came to see her. So I guess the cats say it all. When they come to the door to greet the pet sitter, that is all I need to say. They love her.”

“Maiah did a terrific job taking care of my dog. She gave us daily updates and photos, left the house clean and even stayed with my dog so she didn’t get lonely! Amazing!”

“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.”

“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.”

“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.”

“10 stars needed! ❤️ left Keisha w/ a huge task!! She went above and beyond from every aspect ~ so accommodating… most importantly~ she took great care of the high maintenance rugrats and notably after being gone for 4 days ~ I know the dog didn’t leave the place spotless 😉 I’m a 1st timer on this app so I was anxious prior to our initial meet and great, having a stranger in your house and trusting them with your little loves was new for me.. No worries were needed… it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience!! ❤️”

About: Most of my experience is watching cats, but I have done an overnight dog sitting job with a Great Dane. Open to friendly dogs, but prefer cats! I will be working from home during the holidays and not traveling, so lots of holiday availability! Regular parts of the year, I am free weekends. I think creating a calm environment is important to get the pet acclimated before proceeding to more trusting activities like play, outside time, or bathroom breaks.
“Lauren did a great job taking care of the boys while we were away. She gave them plenty of exercise and engagement as well as keeping them on their regular schedule. Very much appreciated and we hope to book again.”

“I am a first time user of Rover.com and was nervous about leaving my dogs with someone the dogs and I didn't know. The meet and greet with Jackie helped put my mind at ease. Jackie did an amazing job taking care of my 2 dogs at my house for a little over 2 weeks. One the dogs does not trust people. It did not take him long to warm up to her, which says that she has good, calm energy. It was great that the dogs could be at home and she would come to them. I think this made the dogs less anxious. She sent us great pictures and promptly responded to texts. I would highly recommend Jackie and I would definitely use her again.”

“Jessica was absolutely amazing! Her communication, care, and love for animals go above and beyond anything we could ask for. We felt so at ease knowing our pup was in such caring hands and she kept us updated throughout her stay. Thank you Jessica for taking such great care of him and our home. Our pup can’t wait to see you again! ❤️”
“Jessica was great! Super communicative and sent lots of pictures! My boys are a handful and don't like strangers, so if she can handle them she can handle any high maintenance pups!”

“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!”


“We have high energy dogs. Jeremy came over ahead of time for a meet and greet so they could get to know him. That was important because one of our dogs will nip if he doesn’t know you. He needs that introduction. They both took to him and snuggled in for Jeremy’s stay.”

“Charley was amazing with our pup Maisy! She was calm and happy when we got home from an 8 day trip. PLUS - our house was spotless! Fantastic job, we will use him again.”
