“Grace was so wonderful about booking way ahead and professionally checking in as we got closer to the date. She also was awesome about handling an unusual booking where we were in and out of the house the whole time. She played and rested with Makkachin, who was happy and calm when she left.”


“Naomi has done drop in visits and also house sitting for us several times and our fur babies always seem very happy and well taken care of. Can’t say enough nice things about her!”


“Isa is an amazing sitter! She took care of my 3 kitties and house while I was away and kept me updated the whole time. My skittish cats warmed up to her right away! Would definitely book her again.”


“I'm so grateful to find Anna on Rover! She is very sweet and communicates really well which is very important to me when someone is with my babies! I highly recommend Anna if you need a pet sitter. She will really take the time to understand your pets needs.”


“Anna was amazing! Totally responsive (and quick to respond) even from the planning phase, as well as friendly and not just amenable but very positive about my super long shift request from the beginning. She was very communicative about schedule and details about my pup’s care, and even agreed to meet for a video chat to learn further details. Once she was here was EVEN better! My pup took to her immediately, manically excited the second she met Anna, and Anna not only took her craziness in stride, but showed immediate affection: I felt 100% confident that Makkachin would not only be safe and well cared for, bur would have a GREAT time. Anna made sure she knew every detail about Makkachin’s care and house rules before I left, and then gave Makkachin a fun day of walks and hikes, play times, greetings with other dogs, and plenty of couch cuddles. 🥰. On top of that, Anna is a certified dog trainer and has experience working at a doggy daycare as well as with her own dogs. Makkachin absolutely loved and adored her, and I also enjoyed chatting with cool, friendly Anna. I will definitely use her again, and you should too! You’ll be glad that you did. :)”


“I will definitely book Celeste again to take care of Sadie. I really like that Celeste is familiar with the temperament of Yorkies.Sadie was well taken care of and enjoyed her play time and snuggling up with Celeste. She seemed calm and peaceful when I came home and the place was clean and tidy. No accidents on the floor like a previous sitter had left.”


“Jadyn was AWESOME!! She came in very last minute and was super flexible with timing. She opted to stay overnight with my pets, seeing as our dog is hyper and cat had recently suffered a stroke. She took care of them so well, I felt very comfortable! She went above and beyond, making sure they were not only cared for, but having a good time! Highly recommend having her petsit for you, the daily pictures and videos were an added bonus (communication was stellar), will book with her again!”


About: I don’t just care for your pets, I strive to make them see me as part of the family! Also love to clean, so you know you will return to your house with it being just as clean as you left it. Ample training with young pups as well as caring for older animals. I work a job where I make my own hours, so I can fit whatever requirements into my schedule. No need to worry about long stretches without your loved one being checked on! Multiple walks are given each day (depending on their needs), with the option to run with them if they are high-energy dogs. All for the cuddles and playing inside for those that need either or both instead!

“Amber is wonderful. She house sat/ pup sat for us for 4 nights and did a wonderful job. Not only did our pups accept her as one of the family, but she took excellent care of our home as well going above and beyond our expectations. We appreciated the pictures of our pups and she was great at communicating with us while we were gone. We will definitely be asking Amber to watch our pups in the future.”


“Excellent experience! Pups happy and exercised. Everything taken care of as requested. And house clean and organized. Will be requesting Kelsie for all our babysitting needs!”


“Sophia is a jewel. She was great with Lovey my mini Sheepadoodle. Lovey’s used to a lot of attention and is a little on the skiddish side. But they did great together. Sophia is responsible and very engaged. I returned home after 5 days and she had gotten my mail, met up a plumber I had to call and most important Lovey was happy . No issues at all. She ate every meal from day one which never happens. I will absolutely be calling Sophia again!!”


About: I just started doing this because my dog was attacked while I was on vacation and I never want anyone to feel that pain in loosing their best friend like I did. My pup and I get up around 7:30 and he goes out and gets breakfast and water and we walk around the property… sometimes we go to the park in the afternoon and find a trail to walk… and then he eats again at 5:30/6 depending on when I get home from errands after lunch… not to mention the occasional game of fetch while I’m home… also I’d need to know of any allergies or meds you give your dogs and the types of foods treats and games they like… each dog has their own personalities so it’s always hard to tell It depends on the owner.. if ur cool with me being at ur house or if the dogs would come to my place … I do have a yard but it’s not fenced so if the dogs go out they are put on a tie out and I don’t leave them out alone (unless it’s my pup but he’s trained) …. A typical day would also depend on what the dogs schedule is. Dogs are creatures of routine so taking them out of that routine would mess with theor confidence while their owner is away so I’d prefer to know more about the daily routines you have and work my day around that the best I can…

“James was AMAZING!!!! He took such great care of my dog and sent me pictures to let me know how she was doing. He also had to deal with my dog wetting the bed and was so gracious and understanding about it! I would highly recommend him!”


“Christian dog sat for us in our home and was absolutely amazing!! The first day he was there we found out that my husbands mother passed away. It was an extremely difficult and emotional time for us and we knew we were going to have to extend our time away. Christian was so understanding and immediately put us at ease by extending his time with our Milo. He was very attentive to Milo and all his anxieties, walking him every day and keeping us updated on how he was doing. We came home to a spotless house, he had collected our mail and also took care of our garbage. Nothing is more important than knowing our pets are well taken care of while we're gone, Christian went above and beyond and we are very grateful.”


About: I’ve taken care of a verity of pets and owned anything from fish, Reptiles, Rodents, Cats, and Dogs. I can also do additional tasks such as cleaning and plant care. I am versatile and can stay at the house or commute. I am also experienced at giving medications to animals as well. Feel free to ask me any questions regarding the sitting or my experience related to pet sitting. I can let sit anytime before/after classes. I’m am currently attending Liberty University and am taking classes throughout the week. Feel free to ask any questions related to the schedule. I make sure that the animals are comfortable, fed, and refreshed before resting. If I am eating at the place I’m house sitting I make sure the animals are fed before I eat (also makes it easier to avoid prying eyes watching me while I eat). Before I end the day I make sure everything is done and that the house is secure. Before the owners come back I make sure to clean and wash everything (if the owners don’t mind me doing this).

About: With 4 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I will bring loving, reliable, and attentive care. Whether it’s daily walks, drop ins, play time, feeding, and etc I will treat every pet like my own. I focus on creating a safe and fun environment and any pet owner can count on me. I work a small 3 hour internship weekly and this job will be perfect as I am very free through out 7 days a week. You can trust me to care for your pet and home with the same respect and attention I’d give my own. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always mindful of your pet’s safety and comfort. I follow your instructions carefully, keep your space clean, and communicate openly—so you’ll always know your pet is in good hands.

Alizabeth A.
“Ever since I have known Ali, she has had a dog. While she has never pet sat for me (I do not own any pets - I have kids instead) I have been around her and her dogs.

Due to her love for her own dog(s) I feel like she would be a great sitter for another human's fur babies.”
