“⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!! Kind, responsible, communicative. My two dogs absolutely loved him and I rested easy knowing they were in good hands! Highly recommend and would definitely ask him back!!!”


“Of course! Here’s the revised version: ⸻ Jude is amazing! Kingsley absolutely adored Jude, and we felt totally at ease knowing our pup was in such caring, capable hands. Jude sent regular updates, followed all instructions perfectly, and treated our dog like family. We’d trust Jude again in a heartbeat!”



“Britney was a great sitter with our pups! She was flexible, communicative, and problem solving when we were out of town. Our girls can’t wait for her to come back!”



“The BEST! Margaret has been the absolute best sitter we have ever had. She takes care of 3 challenging fur babies while we are away and updates us daily. When we get home everything has been taken care of. If anything gets soiled, she has cleaned it and has made sure everyone is happy and healthy.”


“Mickie was amazing! My dog is older and a bit anxious, and she went above and beyond to ensure she was comfortable and well taken care of. I got amazing pictures and videos, and my dog had a smile on her face the entire time! I would definitely work with her again.”


“Elizabeth stayed at my house to care for my two senior chis. She was very attentive to their various needs and idiosyncrasies: medication, special food, pee pads and strollers were all involved and she handled it like a pro! The girls were happy, healthy and the house was clean. I highly recommend Elizabeth and have already booked with her again.”


“Molly was great with my puppy Sky, they connected immediately! She stayed at my house over New Year's Eve and made me feel totally comfortable leaving my pup for the first time overnight with someone else; grateful to have found Molly!!”


“Amy was awesome! She took excellent care of Steve, and she also took excellent care of my apartment. She sent pics and updates twice a day, and clearly Steve was loving her. Will definitely rebook next time I’m out of town.”


About: I grew up with a dog and always helped take care of her! Since then, I’ve fostered 4 cats (and ended up adopting them all… foster fail!). I’ve also fostered over 8 dogs and helped each one find a loving home. One of them was a puppy I raised from the start, and my family ended up adopting him too. I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, and they all know they can rely on me. I truly love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I recently moved to California, but since I can’t have my dog here until I’m fully settled. Rover is the perfect solution because I really miss having pets around. The dog I fostered in Florida was adopted by my parents, so even though I’m not with him every day, he remains a big part of my life. Back in Florida, I walked him for 45 minutes each morning and evening and spent plenty of time giving him attention and cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, I always stick to their routine and make sure they feel safe and loved. I follow feeding and walk schedules, keep things clean, and give them plenty of attention! Whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just company. I also give regular updates so you know they’re happy and doing great!

“Sara was amazing!! She made time to meet our dogs before the service date. During our time away we felt so relaxed because she communicated with us at each one of her visits and sent us pictures and videos. I will definitely be calling her for the future.”


“Jordyn was awesome! She is very conscientious and takes instructions very seriously, clarifying everything that might not be clear. A great experience!”


“Mary was outstanding, playing with Chadwick and giving him plenty of toy time. He was really happy to meet her and I could tell (thanks to the pics and videos) that he's got a new pal.”


About: I’ve always loved any type of animal! I grew up with a hamster, a rat, a dog, and a cat! I know that animal parents are really busy and I would love to be a responsible sitter that you can rely on. On the weekends I’m available all day! I would just prefer a day notice ahead of time, unavailable during the week but may be able to drop in during the night for a special occasion. I currently have one cat, I ensure that his litter box is cleaned every two days, I have an automatic feeder, and a running water fountain for him.

“Brandy is great! She is very reliable and communicative. I have a large dog who can be a lot to handle around other dogs and she does great with him. Brandy also house sat for me when my dog had a minor injury. She was on top of managing his care and reporting on his progress while I was away--and sent lots of great pictures. To boot, I returned to a very clean house. I highly recommend Brandy!”


“Jordan is one of the best sitters you can get! My cat is sensitive and overly aware of strangers being too close to her, but she felt comfortable sitting with Jordan and cuddling on the couch. When I got home after a week, my cat was very vocal and playful, and you could see that she was very well taken care of the whole time. My house was also in pristine condition and it even looked cleaner than I had left it. Jordan is also communicative and flexible regarding your plans which was greatly appreciated!”


“Meghan did a last-minute cat sit for my two senior cats and truly did an amazing job! I have pretty detailed instructions of everything the kitties need (including daily medication and supplements!) and Meghan was able to independently follow all steps and keep me updated daily on how the kitties were. I would definitely recommend Meghan and I will be booking again! Thank you!”

“Mel watched our pup for a night at our house and was awesome! Our dog can be uncertain of new people but immediately warmed up to Mel. She sent lots of photos and updates. We had an awesome trip knowing he was in good hands. Would absolutely recommend her and will definitely be booking with Mel again!”


About: Hi! Since I wfh, I have plenty of flexibility to walk, housesit, or just check-in on your little buddy! I have worked with everything from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats and anything in between. I love getting to know your pet, and providing peace of mind to pet parents! Plus, I pride myself on good photos of your pet while you’re away! If any of that sounds good to you, send me a message! Hope to hear from you soon :) I work from home M-F which allows for lots of flexibility in my schedule and increased availability in order to look after your pet! Whatever your needs/preferences, we can discuss, i’m pretty flexible! I live in an apartment now, so I’m not looking to house pets at my place, but am happy to do house sitting and check ins!

“Jasmine did such an amazing job watching my Great Pyrenees and cat!! She followed all instructions perfectly and was willing to ask questions to make sure everything was correct for the pets. My Great Pyrenees can get separation anxiety when I leave but Jasmine was such a calming presence for him. She always provided updates with pictures and left my place in excellent condition which was so appreciated! I can’t wait for her to watch my pets again, I know they adore her ❤️”


“Ellyot was an absolute gem! My partner and I felt at ease the minute we met her. Our 2 dogs and 2 cats immediately approached her (despite being shy normally). We hired Ellyot for 5 days. She communicated every day until the minute we got home. She followed all of our excessive instructions and kept our place as neat as we left it. I have used rover before and this is probably the first time I have had such a positive experience. We look forward to our future vacations because we won’t ever have to stress, thank for Ellyot 🥰”
