About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was born. I've always loved to spend time with them and have been responsible of feeding, cleaning, and grooming them ever since I can remember. I have a full-time job right now, but was looking to spend my free time doing something I enjoy and I cound imagine any time better spent than with the friendliest creatures I can think of: dogs. I keep my dogs in my house all the time so they are always surrounded by us and are constantly being cared for and entertained.

“I was very satisfied with Amy. She came before the stay so both my cat and I could become acquainted and review house access. She and my cat were immediate friends. She sent me pictures each day and we communicated by text and email. My house looked better when I returned than when I left. She is very kind and caring and I would recommend her without any qualms.”

“Hannah cared for our two puppies while we were at a family event. Given the positive feedback she had received we figured the one negative review was unusual and unfair. We are very glad we hired her and absolutely would again. She is friendly, smart, and clearly cares for the dogs. We recommend her.”
About: I have my own doggies, they are both 3! I’m used too picking up the pet care when parents leave to go out of town and just take stress off their shoulders! Friends and family, cats and dog i’ve always been the one they call. I’m used to very strategic routines with my baby’s so i’m willing to do the same for yours. Doing the best in every way to make my stay with them as comfortable as possible! I currently work 5 days a week 8-2pm and i’m looking too pick up something i’m actually interested in, We all know how a high school job can last after high school when it wasn’t planned and i’m very interested in baby sitting and pet sitting for people and just giving back the love i share with my animals where it’s needed! I have a fenced in yard for both of my puppies and everyday i come home and make sure they get plenty of play time with me. They have a routine with me, I feed them every evening at 5pm and give them supplements for their health so they live the longest and happiest life !
“Kristin was awesome! Our dog loved her and she gave him took great care of him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a polite, trustworthy sitter.”

“Johana was wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures, took great care of our fur babies and the house was in terrific shape when we got home. Will definitely book again!”
“Kristie was great! Extremely communicative sending updates and pictures of my 2 littles. She took great care of them, even accommodating a last minute medication need and left my home in perfect condition. I will definitely be booking her again!”

“Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.”

“Matt did an overnight stay to take care of our pits (1 is special needs) always on point with instructions and our dogs LOVE him. Will ALWAYS RECOMMEND Matt to Friends and Family.”

“Where to even start? If you were thinking of booking Scarlett do so right now because she is the BEST thing to ever happen to us when it comes to someone caring for our babies when we’re gone. She’s so accommodating, empathetic, caring and sweet. She treats not just the animals but the owners like family as well. I don’t think there are enough letters in the alphabet for me to string together the perfect words to describe her. We have found our go-to person for any trips we do on and are so grateful for her. She has become not only our pet sitter but our friend as well and our fur babies love her. Best Rover sitter ever!”

“Lindsey was absolutely amazing! She was fantastic with our two pups! She followed their routine perfectly, took them on walks, and kept us updated with great communication throughout. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were out of town. We are so appreciative of her!”

“Do not hesitate in hiring Andra! From the moment I met her during our meet and greet I knew that she would be a wonderful fit. She asked lots of questions and made sure that she understood them fully. While we were gone if any questions arose she felt comfortable reaching out to us to question or verify. I am confident that our dogs were very well taken care of. Andra also kept our house immaculate and it was that way upon our return. She also kept us updated daily with text messages and adorable pictures.I would obviously hire her again in a minute. She exceeded our expectations. Thanks Andra”

“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”

“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs most of my life and have lived with multiple cat owners as well. I feel like pets like my calm and loving demeanor 😊 I enjoy the flexibility this profession allows and I love the outdoors. If your pet wants a long walk in the sun or just needs to stretch its legs in the backyard I’m down for either! 😁 I feel as though my laid back demeanor is great for working with animals and even the pickiest cats have fallen for me. I’m great at reading the body language of animals and know when they want a belly rub or when they want me to sit six feet away.
About: I have had animals all my life growing up as child. Over the years I have learned to play with dogs and learn what they like to do as well as what they do not like to do. I notice the small things about the dog such as if their eating habits change, sleeping habits change and activeness change. I have love dogs so your human companion will feel comfortable and loved. I have worked with puppies, young adult and senior dogs treating each with the care they deserved and giving them the attention they require. Animals are my passion and they will always be in good hands with me. I will take care of your pet and they will feel happy and right at home.

This was our second time booking with Dominic and he was just as fantastic as the first. He continues to be reliable, attentive, and truly exceptional. He sends just the right amount of photos and updates-and the pictures made it clear Bruno was happy, relaxed, completely content and in excellent hands. It’s also pretty obvious Bruno and Dominic adore each other, which gives us such peace of mind. Thank you again Dominic!

Everything went Adam went absolutely perfect. Everything from the first introduction, to the process while I was out of town. It’s clear as day he makes it his main priority to give clients to comfort and peace of mind we all need when we leave our dogs at home. 10/10 recommend, and I will 100% be back with him.

Rae did a great job house sitting for us. She stayed in our home, sent daily updates and photos, and was always quick to respond. The communication throughout was great and the dogs were clearly happy and comfortable the whole time. It's a relief to come home to a house in good order and dogs that aren't stressed. Would definitely book again.

Wow, we absolutely love Brooklin! We have never met anyone with better energy! We have two big and young doodles and an older (cranky) beagle mix and her calm energy and love for animals won them over almost immediately. One of our doodles is afraid of new people and normally takes a while to warm up (if he warms up at all) but he absolutely loved Brooklin! We were truly able to enjoy our trip knowing she was taking care of our house and animals with the utmost care and respect and best of all, with joy. We are so lucky we found Brooklin and you will be too!

This was my first time using Rover, and Josilyn made it the absolute best experience! We did a meet & greet prior to booking, she answered all my questions, and I booked it! She sent me updates and photos of my babies, and she loved on them and treated them as if they were her own! I will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Josilyn and Rover!

Miss Anne was fantastic! She house sat our Cavalier pack and everything worked out perfectly. Its obvious she gave them tons of attention because I think they are mad that we came home. Thanks for all the photos and update while we were gone. I sure hope we can use Anne again.
