“Norman showed up with great energy & care for our first time with him sitting. Page loves to see him & Norman stays in touch throughout the day with good awareness to tune in for needs for me & pup while I was away.”
“Leah and her husband took a load off my mind by staying at my apt while I was away. I could tell that my cats were well-cared for and not stressed that I was gone for a week. I would definitely book Leah again.”
“Alex is the best! We truly appreciated the photos and updates and felt very secure with Alex’s confident and caring approach. Our home was left in pristine condition and our dogs were content and relaxed! Highly recommend Alex, especially if you have dogs who can be a little slow to warm up to new people.”
“Robert was very attentive to our dog. He took him on walks and spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He kept us updated throughout our trip and sent lots of pictures. We were very happy with him. I would highly recommend him and will use him again!”
“Troy and Shalah were wonderful. We had a bit of a mix up with the booking and they were extremely flexible and took great care of my skittish and crazy dog. I would definitely use them again.”
“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”
“Matt took great care of our pup while we were on our honeymoon. Before we left Indy had a cut on his foot that required him to wear a bag on his foot and to be wiped with medicine after returning inside. Since this happened the day before we left we didn’t really have a chance to get him used to the process. Matt went above and beyond to care for Indys paw injury and kept us updated. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Fandi was great! Sent lots of pictures and you can tell she really enjoyed caring for my two dogs”
About: I’ve had dogs, cats and birds my entire life and have experience with smaller breeds all the way up to giant breed dogs. I’ve been involved in rescue for the past 15 years and have a lot of experience with special needs pets of all kinds. I can administer medications, including injectable medications, and I work in veterinary medicine. I do this because of my love animals and it brings me joy for people to know that their pets are getting top-notch care when they are away. I know how important it is to be able to relax when you’re away and not have to worry about your pets. I have tons of references available up upon request as well :) I work at an animal hospital during the day (8-4) M-F but am available to stay in your home, or to do drop in visits before and after those hours. On weekends I am available to be there all day. I can also make special arrangements during the week upon request. I pet sit for many people with very specific instructions for their babies and I follow them exactly as asked. I have lots of experience with special needs pets whose morning and evening routine takes a lot of time and I am more than happy to accommodate and make sure everything is exactly as requested. Experienced with caring for multiple pets as well.
“Sam and Pretzel took very good care of Lily. I was very appreciative of the communication while I was away. Lily looks forward to seeing them again!”
About: What sets me apart is how much I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether I’m helping a puppy burn off energy or giving extra love and patience to a senior pup, I’m all about making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, can give meds if needed, and I’m super reliable. I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own—lots of belly rubs included! Pet care is something I build my week around because it’s one of my favorite things to do. I love starting my day with a dog walk or stopping by for some cat cuddles in the afternoon—it gives my day purpose (and way more smiles). I’m flexible with my schedule and make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need, whether it’s playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company. Taking care of animals just fits naturally into my everyday life. Whether I’m hanging out with your pet at your house or mine, I always make sure they feel safe, comfy, and cared for. I stick to their routine, give them lots of love and attention, and make sure everything is secure—doors locked, food and water fresh, and plenty of play or chill time depending on their vibe. I treat your home and your pet like they’re my own, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.
“Alex was great! He followed all directions for caring for our dog overnight. He kept in communication with my spouse and myself and sent some wonderful pictures of our happy pup! I highly recommend Alex for any overnight dog sitting needs.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Since I was very young, I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets, from laid-back seniors to energetic young ones. For the past year, I’ve been house-sitting and pet-sitting for family members while they were away, making sure their animals were safe, comfortable, and well-loved. I’ve personally cared for cats all my life and currently live with two—one is a grumpy old man who loves his quiet time, and the other is a lively, entitled kitten who keeps me on my toes. This mix has taught me patience, flexibility, and how to meet each pet’s unique emotional and physical needs. I love animals with all my heart and treat every one of them with deep respect and genuine care. Whether it's feeding, playing, cleaning up, or just keeping them company, I’m fully committed to giving animals the comfort and attention they deserve. I’m available to care for pets at all times, especially during the week, and open to long stays. I prefer mornings and day shifts but am happy to consider night shifts and overnight care. I’m flexible and will work around your schedule and preferences, considering all possibilities to make things easy for you and your pets. Please note that I’m currently a college student, so my availability may change after August depending on my school schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for both the pets and their owners. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, or special needs—to keep pets healthy and happy. I treat every home and pet with respect, maintaining a clean and secure space while being mindful of the pet’s comfort and routine. Building trust is key, so I communicate openly with the client and stay attentive to the pet’s behavior and well-being. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where pets feel safe and cared for just like they do at home
“3 dogs, 2 cats, dozens of pond fish, plants demanding attention -- Brian took care of it all! Our dogs can be wary of newcomers and Brian was able to win them over in little time. We felt very confident leaving so much in Brian's hands and he didn't disappoint. We even came home after almost 2 weeks to a clean and tidy house. We will definitely be using Brian in the future!”
About: I have owned cats a dogs! I am going to grad school for ABA therapy, which is where clicker training (often used on dogs) is derived from. I have worked with pets of all ages- I am a great fit for active animals- it would be my pleasure to walk or run with your pet! In summer of 2025 I have free time on everyday except Wednesdays and Fridays (and some small weekend trips). Come fall- I hope to be starting a new full time job- but would still be available on weekends and evenings! I am dependable and reliable. If I make a commitment nothing stops me from getting there. I will not be afraid to ask questions to make sure your pet gets the best care possible! My job is to make your life easier and that is what i intend to do. If interested I will provide picture of your pet while they are in my care. Look forward to meeting you and your pet!

Dawn L.
“My husband and I highly recommend Dawn L. for her service for any pet care needs. We have a 12 year old dog that cannot be boarded so we require a person to stay at our house with her while we are away, to spend the night with her. It has been several years since we had a reliable pet care giver which impacted our ability to go away. Dawn was highly recommended to us by a neighbor and we felt so comfortable with her immediately upon our first meeting and introduction to our dog. You can tell her love of dogs, as it shows in her interaction with our dog, loving on her like we would. During our inital consultation she listened closely to our notes and instructions for our dog, while connecting to our dog. I liked Dawn immediately and so did Chelsea (our dog). We used her service for four days in July. She was just wonderful. She was at our house during the times she said she would be, giving Chelsea the care and loving that we would hope and want for her. Dawn was great at communicating with us during her stay at our house, with pictures and notes each day with updates. Chelsea seemed relaxed and not stressed at all while we were gone, which is not always the case for her. Dawn's love of animals, showing our dog sweet attention and care made such a difference for her and for us. In summary, Dawn is very reliable, loving and trustworthing. We recommend her for any pet sitting service needed.”

She cared for her with so much love and attention, my dog didn't even realize we were gone. Her qualities of love mixed with a strong sense of responsibility makes her the ultimate pet sitter. I would highly recommend Alex as a Rover pet sitter.”

Wendy was excellent! We needed her for 2 nights for our 2 Norwegian Forrest cats that have never been left alone. Wendy was very thorough in the initial interview about our wishes. She played with the cats, sent us pictures, and kept us up to date. Definitely 5 stars! We will use Wendy again!
Marina did an amazing job with our cat Roscoe all week! She was super efficient and sent daily pictures and updates. She took great care of our home and Roscoe. Highly recommend!
Jessie is very caring and responsible. I would always recommend her for taking care of your 🐶. Thank you Jessie
Isabella did a great job with Ukie while we went to drop our son off at college. We weren’t sure of how Ukie would react to someone coming into the house, but she was great with him and didn’t seem to have any issues. We came home to a happy pup and avoided stressing him out by boarding him. Would definitely use Isabella again.
