“Our 14YO female heeler bonded immediately with Aarti and she was probably sad when we returned. I like Aarti because she returns texts and requests in a very timely manner. We got photos from her every day which helped to ease any anxiety we had about using a new dog sitter. Her background as a vet assistant also eased our minds with our dog's history of Cushings disease. We travel a fair amount and are looking to have Aarti care for our girl in the future. Five stars for sure.”


“Brigit was amazing! She was super quick to respond and left me with a great feeling knowing that my pups were in great hands! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. Highly recommend her and I will be using her again!”


“Max was great with our dog! He was attentive to detail and asked questions to make sure our dog was being well taken care of. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”


“Very communicative, sent lots of pictures. My animals all had a blast going in walks and playing with Michael! 10/10 would recommend him for all your sitting needs!”


“Regan took great care of our fur babies and communicated very well. I really appreciated her straight forward and honest communication. Thank you so much for helping us out in a pinch!”


About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and have spent years caring for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors. I also have some light training experience. I’m a night owl but can be up early too, so I’m happy to take on late night or early morning pet care as needed. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of care needs. I’m calm, confident, and attentive with animals, and I always aim to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I'm a mature, patient, and responsible woman with an enthusiastic love for animals. I would be honored if you you'd allow me to put my years of responsibility and experience to use with your fur family! I have a very flexible schedule and a huge heart. Pets have given me so much for so little in exchange. I have all the time and energy for the doggos that need it! I have a two-story townhouse with a fenced-in yard. We have a dog run in our gated community and several parks close by for sniffing exploration.

“Susana took such great care of our pup earlier this year that we rebooked her to stay with our dog, Remi, and my parents' dog, Winnie, when we went out of town for a family event. She's such a wonderful sitter. She was in touch each day, letting us know the boys were doing great, and she sent us pictures, too. Her communication was comforting and put my parents at ease that Winnie was having a great time even though they were away. We appreciate Susana so much and will definitely request her help again the next time we leave town.”


“Kaylin is an outstanding house sitter. She took care of Tigger (cat) for 2 weeks and did a super job and sent pictures everyday and left the house spotless. We will definitely be using her again.”


“Candace was amazing. Took the best care of our baby and even took her on a field trip to the dog bakery. She was on time and flexible when our plans changed. We are absolutely going to use her again.”

About: Dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented—I take time to understand your dog’s unique needs to ensure they feel secure and loved while you’re gone. There’s nothing better than to come home to a happy, tail wagging dog. I am currently a grad student at the University of New Mexico. Pet sitting is something I look forward to each week to take my mind off of all my studies. I enjoy spending time with pets to relieve their stress as well as mine. I take pride in providing respectful, attentive care in your home. Keeping your pet comfortable in their familiar environment while maintaining their routine, giving them affection, exercise, and calm companionship. I treat every home with the same care I would my own, ensuring everything is clean, secure, and just as you left it.

“Ck B. did a great job of house and pet sitting for me. My precious pup, Luna, warmed up to Ck very quickly. Ck is a consumate professional and I am very appreciative that she spent considerable time at my home, while I was out of town. I also appreciate Ck's due diligence to my pet's care and feeding, as well as her sending me photos of Luna to keep me informed. I will definitely request Ck for future house and pet sitting.”



“We love Patricia! She was amazing with our Frenchie and Golden. Sent lots of photos while we were away and didn't hesitate to ask questions...which I love. Would definitely recommend and will happily use her again for our next trip.”


“Our first time using Christina L. and it was a joy. She came and stayed at our home and took care of our two fur babies and our home as if they were her own. She made us feel so comfortable that we will be booking again. It has been awhile since we felt so at ease leaving them behind. Would highly recommend”


About: I've been a pet caretaker for most of my 45 years, but I only put 25 in the years experience because those adult years of my life have been most dedicated to pet care. I am a serial adopter of rescue animals, so I'm well versed in pet conditions that need special care. I don't crate our animals and I love them all unconditionally. If you have a pet that needs special attention or even a modicum of training, I'd be happy to help you take care of them. I'm a military veteran and author working from home. I spend my entire day spoiling my pets (I have both cats and dogs, and they get along well enough). I walk the dogs daily, sometimes more than once. The dogs get brushed regularly and the cats get brushed if they make an appearance or we can catch them. As mentioned earlier, I do not crate our pets. I prefer to let them roam, but I occasionally do block off certain areas of the house to prevent naughty behavior. The pets are always rewarded for good behavior with snacks.

“Val sit my fur babies twice now and she is phenomenal! My animals were happy when I got home and she did everything I asked. She even went back to stay with my golden retriever Karma when my flight was canceled and I was stuck out of town an additional night. I will definitely be having Val stay with my fur babies again the next time I’m away.”


About: My dogs, Tuffy and Jefe, just recently passed due to the sickness of old age. I got them about 16 years ago when I was just a little girl. I took care of them like they were family, cause they were! I trained the dogs many skills; Sit, Stay, Walk, Guard, Talk, you name it. They lost those skills as they grew into elderly animals. Tuffy, had a stroke and his back legs were paralyzed for the last 4 years of his life. I helped him learn how to stand and walk all on his own again. Jefe simply fell a victim to typical elderly animal symptoms. Blindness, Deafness, inability to control their bladders, inability to smell. He grew very timid and was refusing to eat. I helped him how to relearn his balance and learn the vibration in the floors, I helped him relearn to eat. I want to help you with your fur baby, young or elderly! All ages are just as precious as the rest. I'm currently in school part time which leaves me plenty of time to take care of your fur babies! I'm also very active and love taking dogs on walks. I do not offer onboarding services at this time. Any mess made in your home will be cleaned on the spot. I am very respectful of others' spaces.

About: I've been a pet ownee since the age of ten. (Seems like they own us rather than the other way around :-) I've had some great companions over the years including our current dog: Norah Bones. She's 13 and may be the happiest dog on the planet. She's at least in the top ten. There's usually been a cat or two in my house connected to my wife, kids or roommates that I care for as well. Friends have asked me to care, board and travel with their pets more often now that I'm semi-retired. And it seems I'm a pet-whisperer of sorts according to friends. Their pets have always bonded with me sooner than most people they know. I'm traveling often and around the country more now. Denver in July. May be in your area soon. My only concern is when I return home and my dog, Norah wants to know all about the new scents and who I've been seeing. Happy to work out details for your pet's care as needed. Morning and evening walks/outdoor pee breaks would be standard. I'm a retired math/science teacher and can learn any special care needs your pet requires. Also have friends in Atlanta that are well trained in pet care and vet tech services.

Joshua N.
“To whom it may concern, I’m writing in testimony of Josh working for your company. I’ve known Josh personally for just about 3 years now and in my experience he has been and extremely kind and caring person. Especially towards animals! We’ve asked him many times to check in on our animals while away and I am VERY picky about who I ask to enter my home and handle my animals. Seeing how careful and caring he is with his own animals he understands how special these creatures are to us. In summary I believe he would be a wonder addition to your team!”

Sandra T.
“Every time I go out of town I ask Sandra to watch my pets. She has watched dogs, cats and even a snake. She always makes sure they are properly fed. She even cuddles up with them *not the snake 😆* and makes then feel very comfortable. I trust Sandra every time and have never had any issues.”


Steve L.
“Stephen is such a kind and conscientious person. When he cares for my baby, he takes initiative to think of any immediate need, checks in with me, and ensures that my dog has a good experience. I would definitely recommend Steve to care for someone’s fur family.”
Shadow Hills pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cindi took marvelous care of Trixie, my 2 1/2 year-old cavalier! Trixie was very relaxed when I came home and I really appreciated all the great photographs and keeping in touch with me as I asked! I would definitely have Cindi care for my dogs going forward! The house was immaculate. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Stephanie is fantastic! She was responsive and prepared - even more than me! As a pet parent of not only a senior pet, but one receiving chemo treatments, I was nervous about leaving his care up to someone else, but Stephanie had me completely at ease! We started off with an out-of-home meet & greet at my apartment complex's dog park, and both dogs loved her. <3 We then went to tour the house and meet my cat. Stephanie was incredibly thoughtful, remembering to ask important questions about the pet's habits and care. She was also completely at ease giving medication, even joining in on our demo. During the stay, Stephanie sent me regular updates with photos, which I greatly appreciated. I can't recommend Stephanie enough for your pet's care. I will be using her again should I leave town where I can't bring my pets with me.

This was our first time leaving our deaf elderly dog, Ellie, home while going on a family vacation. Sierra met with us twice before our trip to make sure that Ellie was comfortable, as well as easing my anxiety about leaving her behind. Sierra was wonderful with keeping us updated and was super sweet with Ellie. We extra appreciated Sierra for being so clean and respectful to our home! Thank you so much and we will definitely book with you again on our next trip!

The comfort of going out of town and knowing your pet is being taken care of is priceless. Kara was a wonderful sitter who made sure our girl Bailey was happy and comfortable while we were gone. Great communication, photos and videos during her stay which put us at ease. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog! ❤️ Thank you for everything and we will definitely book again next time we need a sitter!
