“Summer cared for my 3 dogs for 4 days and did an excellent job! She sent picture and videos and kept in contact throughout the weekend. My dogs loved her and were very happy :) would hire her again in a heartbeat!”


4. Jocelyn H.
About: I have worked and managed an adoption agency with both dogs and cats from the age of 10-18. I have fostered many animals and have 4 dogs of my own from huge to small. I have volunteered for many years at my local animal shelters and have been asked to return. My love for pets is above average. I have also worked at multiple pet stores to fully enjoy my love for animals! I am currently doing school online which leaves me a lot of free time in which I would love to be able to do something I love such as taking care of pets. I currently have a puppy so I know how much work goes into properly training them such as consistency and routine. I also have elderly dogs who need special attention. So no matter what needs your pets have I will treat them as my own.

8. Olivia W.

“Olivia was very good at feeding my 2 cats and keeping thff them company for a little while. She was very conscientious, and I was so happy to have her take such great care of my pets. She sent me photos of my cats each day. She is a joy to have.”

10. Kimberly V.

“Kim was absolutely wonderful and really helped me out when I was in a pinch and needed somebody to watch my cat and dog for a few days while I went out of town. She sent me pictures every time and answered all my questions, which made me feel more comfortable having somebody I didn't know watch my pets while I was out of town. She followed all of the directions and went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable. She even brought in my trash and recycling bins. This was my first time using Rover and if I were staying in the area, I would definitely utilize Kim's pet sitting services again! Thank you Kim!”


11. Emmanuel R.
About: If you board with me, your pet won’t have a boring day. I will give my full undivided attention, we will go for a walk or two and there will be treats. I’ll make sure to keep you updated with beautiful photos as well :) I’m primarily available on the weekends but am quite flexible. Please reach out if you have any questions. I can’t wait to hear from you :) I live in an apartment but will make sure we spend time outdoors. I have a huge warm dog kennel that your pet can use :)


12. Virginia S.
“Virginia is the most attentive and caring pet sitter that we've ever had! For more than 10 years, whenever we have gone out of town for an extended trip, she is always our first choice for a sitter to stay in our home. Our senior dog is a rescue who could be anxious and dog-reactive in her younger years. Virginia was always patient and kind with our girl on walks, while providing the structure and redirection to help her feel safe and at ease. Now our girl requires a lot of medication and supervision due to cognitive decline and loss of mobility, and Virginia has never missed a beat. Honestly, I can't put a price tag on the peace of mind that comes from knowing that our girl is safe and happy when we can't stay at home with her - plus Virginia takes great care of our home while we are away. If you are looking for a dependable, dedicated, and friendly pet sitter who will treat your pet like family - look no further!”




13. Debbie R.

“Debbie has been wonderful with my pup! She goes above and beyond to make sure my girl is happy and gets her bathroom breaks. Definitely recommend! I will be booking with her again.”


14. Jaylan N.

“Jaylan is wonderful. I have a stubborn corgi who doesn’t always want to go on walks, but Jaylan always manages to convince her to walk or otherwise get her energy out by playing ball. She is prompt, friendly, and my dog really trusts and likes her.”


15. Alison D.

“Alison is fantastic! She’s patient and caring toward my grumpy old lady cat. Alison also communicated when she noticed my cat wasn’t eating as usual and made the adjustments I asked. I definitely recommend!!”


16. Taylor B.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have various breeds throughout my childhood. Now I have 2 of my own and nothing can compare to the joy pets bring into your life. I typically spend my days off walking my 2 dogs around the neighborhood or going to the local dog park. I have spent time training my dogs in basic commands and continue to work on new tricks or even just the skill to relax in crowded areas. I would love to meet your pet and help getting the exercise your dog needs. I know how hard it can be sometimes with busy schedules, let me be there to help! I currently work full time, but have 4 days off throughout the week. Typically available Wednesday, Thursday, Sunday and Mondays. I am available all day In my home, my dogs are loved and valued as they should be. I continually spoil my dogs with treats, toys or even going on adventures. I want pets to feel like they are family and enjoy life.


17. Sophia M.

“Sophia was awesome! Took great pictures of my babies and spoiled them with treats! Will recommend her to other people.”


18. Emily G.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 13 when my dad brought home two mini poodles. This year they’ll be turning 15 and have definitely brought on challenges— one of them is diabetic, hard of hearing, and slightly blind— but I aim to give them the best care I can! While most my experience has been with smaller dogs, I have cared for my family’s dogs as well. This has included bull terriers, huskies, and German shepherds. I have experience with senior dog care, oral medication administration, and injected medicine administration. I work from home most days throughout the week and have a pretty flexible work schedule. In the mornings/nights I feed my dogs and administer any medication. In the evenings I usually take them on walks. I live in a 2nd floor apartment with a pretty big balcony. I provide an outdoor grass patch that dogs can use to relieve themselves.


19. Eva A.
“Eva was my pet sitter for years, she cared for my two dogs and two cats on numerous occasions. She is not only extremely responsible but also proactive. She always ensured my pets were well-fed, exercised and loved, all in a timely manner exactly how she had been directed to. She has always gone above and beyond, keeping me updated, addressing any concerns and she was never afraid to ask questions when needed. Eva's genuine care and love for my animals, her attention to detail and trustworthiness gave me complete peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking reliable and caring pet care.”


20. valery o.
“Valery O. is a fantastic pet babysitter because she is responsible, caring, and loves animals. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of every furry friend she cares for. She has taken care of my pet with utmost dedication and love. From feeding and walking to providing a safe and comfortable environment, you've ensured my pet felt cherished and cared for.
