“Maureen is the BEST and my go-to pet sitter. She cares for every pet as if they were her own. Her communication is stellar and she sends updates and the cutest pictures of the pets. My little zoo is so happy whenever she is over!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my Natasha! Sarah was incredibly attentive, sending regular updates and adorable pictures throughout the stay. My Natasha was clearly happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their home. Sarah went above and beyond to ensure my Natasha routine was maintained, including daily walks and playtime. I’ll definitely be booking with Sarah again—highly recommend! Sarah 🐶✨”
“Dori is amazing. She really cared about my dog. She gave me updates and pictures often and was just a pleasure to communicate with. I felt very comfortable having her take care of my baby and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️
“**5 Stars – Excellent Caregiver!** We couldn't be happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Audrey took great care of our dog as if she were her own. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated with photos, and our dog looked so happy and well-taken care of when we returned. Our home was left spotless, and it was clear that Audrey treated our space with respect. We will definitely be booking with her again for future trips.”
“Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.”
“Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!”
“Angelina was an absolutely wonderful house sitter! She took care of our 3 cats and 1 dog for almost 2 weeks. She gave us updates throughout our trip. The pets seemed very well taken care of and they warmed up to Angelina very quickly. Our pets we happy, healthy, clean, and well fed when we got back from our trip. She gave our babies lots of attention, esp our dog who can be very hyperactive. She also went above and beyond for them when she stayed a while longer after her booked time to make sure they kids were taken care of until we got home even though she didn't need to! Angelina was also a wonderful house guest and kept the place cleaned and well maintained. Communication with her was great as we. We would absolutely love to work with Angelina in the future and we highly reccomend her!”
“Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.”
“Lara cared for our dogs for the first time this weekend, and we were so impressed by her. She managed our 3 high-maintenance dogs without a problem and we came home to a happy and relaxed group! (And a very clean house). She will be our go-to sitter moving forward. Don’t hesitate to book her!”
“I was lucky to find Alexis and Adam to take care of my Malinois. I’d never used Rover before but I needed someone to care for her, walk her and stay with her while I was out of town. They sent me a lot of updates and pictures and I knew she was happy. I’ll definitely use them in the future :)”
About: Hi! I’ve been a proud dog mom and animal caretaker for over 10 years, and my love for animals started at a very young age. I truly see pets as family—whether they’re my own or yours—and I treat each one with the same care, love, and attention. Expect lots of cuddles, belly rubs, and treats (with your permission, of course!). I understand that leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel a little nerve-wracking. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I’m happy to send photo updates, take them on walks, keep them company with a movie if I step out, and tuck them in at night with their favorite toys so they feel safe and loved I work remotely, so I can be pretty flexible with my schedule and yours. I can work from your home if needed, be there 24/7 or to just check in. Depending on your pets needs, I can take them for walks, let them out for a bathroom breaks, play with them and their favorite toys, and provide top tier belly rubs.
“Our dog has severe separation anxiety and Maria had the most calming effect on her! She wasn’t stressed at all when we got home after 3 days, a miracle! Maria was so kind, professional, caring, and responsive throughout the dog sit. We will definitely be using her again soon!”
“Absolutely loved having Alexis was our fur babies. Will definitely be wanting to rebook with her in future for any trips we may have! She kept me updated on how they were doing and sent many pictures. 🥰”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.
“Anna was amazing, not only did she show up on time, but she sent me several check ins throughout the night. She made sure that I knew that my Furkid was happy and safe. She followed the directions I left for her to the T. Anna was extremely punctual and professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is in need of pet sitting. She was the epitome of a perfect pet sitter. I will definitely book her again ❤️”
About: Growing up with pets—dogs, turtles, cats, chickens, and goldfish—I’ve developed a deep love for caring for animals. I’m currently caring for a senior Yorkie who is the most affectionate and gentlemanly dog I’ve ever known. He gets along wonderfully with all the neighborhood dogs, and I often help my neighbors by walking their dogs when needed. These experiences have inspired me to pursue dog sitting and walking, allowing me to share my passion for pet care with others. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to integrate pet care into my daily routine easily. I can provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it's for walks, feeding, or playtime. When I'm not working, I love spending quality time walking and playing with my dog, so it's natural for me to offer the same level of care and engagement to other pets. My flexible schedule also means I can accommodate pets with specific routines, whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. Special Note for House Sitting: House sitting services are provided sunrise to sunset only (no overnight stays). This is a platform limitation, but I'm happy to discuss details to tailor to your pet's needs. During the stay, I may be in and out of the house depending on how long your pet can comfortably be left alone, as noted in their profile. I always plan my schedule around your pet's needs to ensure they are safe, comfortable, and well taken care of. I provide care in the comfort of your fur baby's own home, ensuring they feel secure and at ease in their familiar surroundings. When booking with me, please share the following details about your home to help me provide the best care for your dog: 🏡Instructions for entering your home to reach your pet 🥣Location of food, treats, and water bowl 🌳Whether you have a yard or other outdoor areas for potty breaks 🐶Favorite walk route, or any no-go areas 🗒️Any house rules I should be aware of
“Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!”

We truly trust and appreciate Courtney for taking care of our animals while we were away. We had a last-minute emergency, and thankfully Courtney was able to accommodate us and adjust her schedule to help out. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our pets were in such caring and capable hands. We are incredibly grateful to have someone we can trust and rely on, and we know our animals will always be well cared for with her. We highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter! 🐾💕
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Marshall. From the very beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and clearly cared about making sure both Marshall and I felt comfortable. Marshall was adjusting to a new living situation, and Sarah was incredibly patient, attentive, and accommodating to his needs and routine. She provided excellent care, kept me updated, and gave me great peace of mind while I was working long night shifts. It was obvious that Marshall was happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention and affection while I was away. Sarah was also extremely respectful of my home and left everything clean and tidy. I truly appreciated how considerate she was of both my space and Marshall’s needs. I would not hesitate to book with Sarah again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Lindsey is our go to sitter and did a great job taking care of our boys as always. She is so sweet with them and sends daily pictures. She is resourceful when challenges come up and you can tell she really loves animals. We always feel at ease when our boys are with Lindsey and highly recommend her :)
Angela is the BEST. Our regular sitters were unavailable and we needed someone last minute. It was a big ask and she was great - hundred percent now a go to! She was good with communication and we could tell she was a true animal lover. She genuinely cares for other people’s pets. We even got a report card from her at the end and thank god Vinny got an A+. She also left the house in perfect condition and so clean, which is lovely to have after a trip. Will definitely use her again!
Charles took our booking last minute as we had exhausted our options for care for our older reactive pup, he knew what he was doing when it came to the meeting and knew how to handle Avi, Avi loved Charles, and Charles paid close attention to our little needy situation with Avi and executed everything perfectly, will definately book again as im afraid Avi will wonder what happened to his new friend 😁
Cristen again is amazing. We have two Great Danes who demand attention and Cristen steps right up and gives it. We got new place and Cristen did great in it and kept it clean and great. Our kids love having her and are always pooped out when we get back. So glad we found Cristen!!!
I am grateful to Victoria for her care of my dog Ella, a senior girl with multiple health issues requiring careful medication administration. She followed feeding and medication guidelines, got Ella to play, took her for daily walks and responded quickly when asked for updates. This morning, Ella went looking for her in the bedroom, even though I am here! I think that says it all.
Nadera took amazing care of our home and three pups!! They absolutely loved spending the week with her. She stayed in touch lightly, sending me fun pictures of the dogs doing activities while we were away, and she left our house spotless. We would love to have her back again soon! ❤️
We are so thankful we found Lara to watch our sweet girl Frannie while we were away! She is slow to warm up to new people and doesn’t make the best first impression, but Lara was extremely patient and gracious with her every step of the way. We were kept updated with photos and videos the entire time and were so happy to see that they bonded so well. Lara went out of her way taking Frannie on multiple walks per day, and she even took out our trash cans on trash day without us asking. We highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!
