“Bennie and Jennie did another wonderful job taking care of Freddie . He is happy to see me when I get home but a bit mopey because he misses them . He enjoys their care and attention. He was fed brushed and played with all the things he needs to keep my baby healthy and safe . I can’t say enough about how comfortable and secure I feel knowing they are in my house taking care of Freddie . They are respectful trust worthy and leave my house cleaner than when I left without my having to ask. It’s such a relief knowing I can plan a trip and if they are available I don’t have to worry about anything at home. Highly recommend these sweet caretakers if you need a babysitter .”
“Michelle is great and Ginger loves her! She spends a lot of time playing with her especially since she’s a puppy! Super quick responses as well! Highly recommend”
“Emily was AMAZING with my 3 pets. We have two huge dogs (mastiffs) and a skittish cat and she handled taking care of them perfectly. Our cat runs away and hisses at any strangers, but she warmed right up to Emily. My dogs also love her since she gave them so much affection and attention. She kept us updated throughout our trip, and she also cleaned our house and left it looking better than before we left for our trip. Emily rocks!”
“Robert did a fantastic job looking after our three needy dogs and following our instructions. He was super communicative and kept us up to date on everything.”
“Oelun is so kind and responsive! She’s taken amazing care of both of our dogs and has been incredible to correspond with. Our dogs look so happy and photogenic when she cares for them 🥹”
“If I could give Irene more than 5 stars, I would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. From the moment she met our pup, we knew she was something special. She’s kind, attentive, responsible, and truly treats our dog like her own. We got regular updates, adorable photos, and could tell our Gigi was happy, relaxed, and so well cared for. It’s not easy to leave your pet with someone, but with her, we had complete peace of mind.”
“Katie was WONDERFUL! she was able to accommodate my request on short notice and did an amazing job. She sent lots of updates and I felt great knowing my poodle was in her care. Thank you again Katie!”
About: I had a dog since I was 9 who sadly passed away after 13 years. Love dogs but can’t get my own until I move out. I watch dogs for family friends on the side. I love all dogs especially high energy dogs who needs long walks. I’m currently in a masters program Monday-Friday 8-5. I nanny kids with special needs through the week on a loose schedule. I’m able to leave school during lunch. I’m great at long runs/walks cuddles my sister has been working on rover for 2 years and we have a dog at our house every day of the year!
“Jessica is a great pet sitter. My animals immediately warmed up to her. She is very reliable and sent me pictures each day. I would highly recommend her.”
“The timing could not have been worse, our Wheaton Terrier, Winston fell a little sick just as we were about to go away for a few days. Fortunately for us, we found John on Rover.com a couple days before. He looked after Winston, performing all the daily routine activities, (scheduled feedings, walks twice per day, etc), as well as administering medication since Winston was feeling is best. John provided a few pictures and videos as well. John did a great job watching over Winston.”

About: I have experience with many types of dogs, and cats. I have owned dogs that are reactive, anxiety riddled, and high energy! Looking for someone to care for your pet can be incredibly stressful, and I am here to help. After my full time job working with students I would enjoy time with animals! Caring for others is my specialty and source of happiness during the week! I care for pets as if they are my own. I understand how stressful finding a pet sitter can be and want to make you and your pet feel comfortable and confident with my care. Please let me know your pet's personality and I will care for them accordingly.

About: I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs! Outside of my own pets, I have had experience in both dog/cat sitting and house sitting for friends and family. From my past experiences, I have built close and trusting relationships with both animals and owners. I’m responsible, have great communication skills, and tend to be flexible with scheduling. I just graduated from college and I’m free these upcoming months (June-Aug.) for pet sitting and house sitting! My schedule is very flexible, so I’m open to daily and weekly check ups. I’m open to caring for each animal based on the owners requests and desires! I’m naturally a nurturing person so paying close attention to animals are my top priority!
