“Jordan was great! He arrived on time, sent lots of wonderful photos, and did a great job looking after our dog! We look forward to booking him again, thanks Jordan!”
“Jenna was absolutely wonderful! Extremely communicative and kept us updated which I really appreciated. She left our home in tip top shape and our pets were very well taken care of. We’ve already rebooked her for her services! 11/10 recommend”
“Janessa & John were amazing and I had no concerns about leaving my Littles (2) in their good hands. I would definitely recommend their services and will have them back again.”
About: In my younger years I was known as that house you could trust your pets with, which sadly led to less boarding and daycare services and more abandonment of pets on my doorstep. I accepted each surrender because I always figured better here with me then on the streets. After successfully adopting out all these love bugs to people I knew and trusted over the years, I've found myself in smaller quarters. I've found comfort and fulfillment in caring for outdoor cats (commonly referred to as strays) Taking in an orange Tabby to call my own in the process. I've made friends with neighbors who share the same love and passion and through these connections found community - a cat community! I currently care for three cats (siblings), house-sitting as well while their human parents are away. Each individual cat has it's different wants/needs. Through these experiences I've learned gaining trust and love is different for each individual feline. I'm looking to expand my care/services to neighboring cat families mainly because I love cats and know how important it is to have a community of cat folks in your corner when duty, vacation or emergencies call. I'm currently employed by Uber Eats so I make my own schedule. I'm open to weekend care as well. The only thing I do religiously is cultural dancing on Wednesday nights. My current clients are all indoor kitties so I am used to securing the household, feeding on a schedule throughout the day and doing enrichment with them be that play or individual love and cuddle time. I prepare meals specific to each cats needs, keep litterboxes and surrounding areas clean and keeping water stations fresh.
“Holly has pet sit for us on several occasions now. She’s always so communicative and attentive, and our pets love her! We can always leave town with full confidence that our pets are so loved and cared for when Holly is around— she’s so patient and thorough with our elderly dog and all of his supplements in particular. Thank you, Holly!”
“Melinda came over for a couple hours in the morning on a short notice to watch my dog. She was on time and very kind to Reo. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”
“Great dog sitting experience with Jenna!! So kind and thoughtful of our dogs needs! Unfortunately we had a need for Last minute booking and Jenna was available and we were blessed!!”
“Sabrina was wonderful! She was very organized, communicative, and always on time. We felt completely comfortable having her in our home, and she even left it cleaner than when we left. She sent photos and videos that gave us peace of mind and showed how well our pets were being cared for. Leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, but with Sabrina we had no concerns at all. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“Cheryl is so wonderful with our 2 dogs. I literally plan trips around her availability because she’s so fantastic and I trust her with my pups. Thank you for another worry free service. We appreciate you so much!”
“Emily was great! Easy to work with from start to finish. Our dogs were well taken care of and Gilly was living her best life with Emily. Thank you so much for taking care of them!”
About: I have been dog sitting and taking care of pets since I was 15. I love being with dogs of all ages and breeds. I have a soft spot for anxious or nervous dogs as I also have a nervous dog at home myself! I will be sure to send you photos and updates every day about your pet and will treat them like they are my own pup. They will be well taken care of and receive lots of love when they are with me. New to Rover? Use my code for $20 off your first booking! https://www.rover.com/sit/natass69178 I am currently working full-time, but I am available to come by on my lunch break for a potty break or walk, and can come take care of your pet before 8am and after 5pm. If you prefer to keep your dog crated, I make sure they are not being destructive to your home while I am gone. I also make sure to give them plenty of mental stimulation, and I will clearly communicate all matters to you.
“Alain was amazing. She communicated very well with the meet and greet and through the entire stay. We absolutely would love to have her help with our dog again!”
“Christina was extremely efficient and competent in taking care of our morkie and beagle for 11 days. Both dogs had some health challenges while we were away, and Christina handled everything smoothly with care and compassion. She kept in touch with us the whole time with reports and photos. And it was obvious she developed a personal relationship with each of our dogs. I would hire Christina again in a heartbeat. She is a joy to work with.”
“Our first time booking a sitter for our 6-month-old Cavapoo and Michelle is awesome. Kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the night and even sent some pictures of him while we were away. Highly recommend.”
“I would give Ali 10 stars if I could!!! Ali was great with our pup. She did a meet and greet a couple of days prior to the house sitting engagement. We had recently got Zoya, she had been rehomed to us and wanted someone who could care for her well during this adjustment perio. Ali did a great job keeping Zoya busy and also was super communicative throughout the day on play time, food etc. Our pup had a great time with Ali and I already have another appointment coming up next week. Also, Ali cleaned our kitchen, which was totally not needed, but so greatly appreciated. Ali loves dogs and you can see that right away. If you are looking for a reliable, trust worthy, communicative dog sitter, look no further!!”
“Carolyn has done a fantastic job caring for our very anxious pup (and my own anxiety as a worried dog mom)! She has been SO patient and committed to ensuring our dog is comfortable. She also took amazing care of our home and garden!”

As always, Joel takes care of Loki so well, and looks after our home and treats it with respect. He house sits and looks after Loki frequently, on this occasion he went the extra mile by being so flexible. We extended his stay at the beginning and the end of our trip away, and at very short notice. Thank you Joel, we appreciate you.
We had a wonderful experience with Dustin. He took excellent care of our dogs while we were away and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. He was flexible, reliable, and easy to communicate with throughout. When we returned home, our house was in great condition and everything was exactly as we left it. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable pet sitter, and we would gladly use him for our next vacation.
Patricia was great! She was very responsive when I would reach out. She house sat for us for 3 nights. We have a German Shepherd and an outdoor only cat. Both pets were very well cared for with updates. Patricia sent cute photos showing what they were doing. Our dog got to go swimming in our pool and play! It was great to just be able to enjoy our vacation and not worry about our home or pets. We will definitely ask her to house sit again.
Jenna is such a sweetheart! She watched my two pups Luna and Chico and my sister’s dog Archie at my house. She sent pictures and updates multiple times a day which was so helpful! The dogs loved her immediately and were so comfortable. I would have Jenna watch them any time!
This was our first time using Rover. Thanks to such a great experience with Christina, we'll be back! She kept us updated on our pups while we were away and made sure we were comfortable every step of the way. I think they're missing her as much as they missed us!
Jacob was awesome. I needed a dog sitter for two large retrievers for a short out of town trip. Jacob was available and we set up a time to meet. Jacob was prompt and very professional. I was very comfortable with having him stay at my home with the dogs. During his stay, he was very communicative and sent lots of photographs. He didn’t mind my constant checking in from afar. My neighbors gave him their nod of approval. He treated my dogs like they were his own and that was much appreciated. They were very spoiled while under Jacob’s care. I would highly recommend Jacob. You won’t be disappointed. I look forward to having him return for future dog sitting.
