We had an absolutely amazing experience with Faith! She was incredibly attentive to detail, kept our home spotless, and took such thoughtful care of our pup. You can tell she truly loves animals. She is patient, engaging, and our dog looked happy and relaxed in every update. Her communication was excellent, we received regular photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She followed all instructions perfectly and made sure routines stayed consistent. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, detail-oriented, playful, and communicative house sitter or pet sitter, I can’t recommend Faith enough. We will absolutely be booking with her again!

I received multiple pictures of Maxximus and Lola and messages from Sarah while I was away. This reassurance allowed me to enjoy my vacation. She also kept the house organized for my return. Thank you!!!

Trina is such a lifesaver. We had a dog sitter lined up who had to bail on us about 12 hrs before we were supposed to leave on our first ever Disney vacation. She responded to my message immediately, was available on short notice and honestly spoiled the heck out of my dog! My dog is a senior citizen and takes 2-4 meds a day. She made sure he got all his meds, followed an intricate feeding schedule, and loved him as her own. She checked in with me daily to assure us he was doing well. She also helped feed our fish and turtle. What a lifesaver! We returned to happy animals and a very clean house. We will definitely be using Trina for all our vacations from here on out!

About: Worked at a few veterinary hospitals when I was younger. Pet sitting fits my busy mom life and I adore it. Super comfortable with any kind of animal and able to administer medication (even i.v) properly. Also able to recognize any signs of illness or injury in pets while you are out. This is all I do. Giving these pets all of my attention and professionalism is part of my everyday routine. Knowing they are with someone like me will make your day easy. I’ll care for your pets in your own home. This way they are very comfortable in their own environment. Safety and affection are my priorities while they are in my care. Whether it’s a potty break or a walk or even just a check in, they’ll know they are cared for.

I’ve used Josh several times now and have always been very happy with how well he takes care of my dog and my home. I have a very sweet but reactive dog and he handles him great! I have peace of mind when I’m away with Josh knowing Diesel and my home are well cared for. This past time my flights home were changing frequently due to weather so I wasn’t sure what time I was going to be home. Josh was very flexible and able to work with me which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend him!!

We are a repeat customer and highly recommend Kya. We know when we leave our 16 yr old deaf pug with her, she will be in good hands. We love Kya’s updates when we are gone and especially the photos she shares of our little fur baby.

About: Hi, I’m Christine! I’ve been a devoted pet parent for over 30 years, and my love for animals is truly at the heart of everything I do. From playful pups to curious cats and every animal in between, I believe each furry (or feathery!) friend deserves love, care, and a whole lot of fun. I currently have an 8 year old Plott Hound who is recovering from her second TPLO surgery. I spend devoted time with her every day completing her physical therapy exercises and doing all I can to optimize her recovery and golden years ahead. She has been a major part of my life and we have had lots of adventures together! She has road-tripped with me to 21 different states and lived for 6 years in the high desert mountains of AZ. I pride myself on being patient, flexible, and truly attentive to every animal’s individual needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll or a playful adventure, I can’t wait to be a part of your pet’s journey! I am a certified wellness instructor and make my own client schedule- so- I have lots of flexibility and can work with most client’s individual needs. I am flexible and adaptive to each individual pet’s needs and environment. I love walking and am happy to give extra time to take in the sniffs- or enjoy a snuggle!

What an absolute gem!!! I have 2 Belgian Malinois, a can and fish. Tanya was such a amazing sitter. Our older mal he can be an anxious fella and can sometimes intimidate people but not Tanya! She was a dog whisperer. She stayed overnight for 3 nights and not only helped with keeping my critters safe but also the home. She treated my home like her home and with respect. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter. TRUST HER WITH YOUR FAMILY. My pets mean the world to me and they trusted and loved her from the moment they met. She was consistent with providing updated and pictures. Already a loyal client to her with only just 1 booking. 10000/10 rating. Coming from an anxious mom I highly reccomend.

This was the first time I've used Rover and found Sara. Communication was great from the get-go. As this was the first time I let someone else watch Iris (8 months old), rightfully so to be nervous and hesitant. Sara was very understanding and attentive as I went through what Iris needed, how her demeanor is, and all of the in-between. You could tell that Sara genuinely cares and enjoys caring for pets as a side gig. Sara was fantastic and we'll definitely book again.

About: Hi! I’m a full-time stay-at-home animal lover with open availability, so your pet will always get my full attention 💕 I’ve grown up with animals, previously studied veterinary medicine, and volunteered at animal clinics, so I understand both the fun and the responsibility that comes with pet care. I have a busy, loving home with 3 kids, 2 dogs, and a bearded dragon, so your pet will fit right in! There’s always plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention especially in the evenings when my kids love joining in 🐕✨ Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow routines closely and treat every pet like family. You can count on your fur baby being safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way 🥰 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life because I’m home full-time and already have a structured routine around caring for my own pets. From morning feedings and walks to playtime and evening wind-downs, taking care of animals is already a big part of my day not something extra I have to “fit in.” Adding your pet into my routine means they’ll naturally receive consistent attention, structure, and love as part of our everyday life. 🐾💕 I care for every pet based on their individual needs, routine, and personality. In my home, pets become part of the family right away they get plenty of attention, playtime, and a safe, clean environment. Since I’m home full-time, I’m able to keep a close eye on them, stick to feeding schedules, provide regular potty breaks, and make sure they’re comfortable and happy throughout the day. I also have a very active household with kids and pets, so there’s always engagement, exercise, and lots of love while still making sure your pet has space to relax if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I ask detailed questions about feeding, walks, behavior, and preferences so your pet feels safe and stress-free in their own space. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, my goal is always the same: to make sure they feel safe, loved, and as comfortable as they would with you. 🐾💕
