“Emma was a fantastic choice to house sit and watch our two cats. She regularly sent updates, followed our instructions, and was really easy to communicate with! We loved having her stay with our kitties, we had huge peace of mind while we were away for the weekend. We absolutely recommend her!!”


“Raina was absolutely amazing!! She took such great care of our pups, our plants and garden, and our home. She was so good about sending me pictures and updates and I could tell from the pictures my dogs were happy and feeling loved and safe. This put me at ease so I could enjoy my vacation, which I appreciated so much. Raina is by far the best dog/house sitter we have had and we will definitely book her again!”


“Nadiya was absolutely a gem to have stay at our house with our pets. She was so reassuring, caring and communicative, and sent amazing photos during the time we were away! She left our house incredibly clean, and our pets were in high spirits when we got back to them. I will definitely be using Nadiya again in the future if our boys need someone to watch over them!”


“Rosie took wonderful care of our pups and our home while we were away and was very patient with our one dog who is a bit of a nervous Nellie. It was so nice to know our pups were in good hands while we were away, thanks Rosie!”


“Kayla was great with our old dog. He was calm when we arrived home, even after being gone for almost a week....uncommon for him not to go bananas when we first get home. She gave him his medication, cleaned up after him and left the house in good shape.”


“I felt very comfortable leaving Grace with my dog and cat and house! Everything was smooth and she kept me posted about how they were doing. I was so glad that she was able to spend time with the pets while I was away.”


“This was our first time using Rover to find someone to watch our pups while we were on vacation and Brooke was amazing! She was very communicative with me before and after she stayed at our house, which made us feel so much more at ease. Our dogs are pretty easy to take care of, but one of them is an old guy so finding someone who could administer medication and tend to him was very important. She did a great job. I hope our paths cross again sometime in the future and I 10/10 recommend Brooke!!”


“Ali was a great dog sitter for our two terriers. She stayed at our home with them, sent several photo updates and left everything in super shape. We returned to happy dogs and will definitely book with Ali again.”


“Marissa was an exceptional pet sitter! She kept our home and dog, Rusty, safe and loved. She communicated clearly, and shared plenty of pictures. Rusty had a wonderful time, if he had thumbs, he'd give her two thumbs up for sure! We would be lucky to have Marissa take care of our pets any time. Couldn't recommend a more professional and kind human.”


“The best pet sitter you could ask for!!!! My dog ran away before she came to stay and got hurt. Once he came home, she took him to the vet and cared for him like he was her own!!!! I cannot say enough good things !!!”


“Jaelyn was a pleasure to have to watch our dog! She was prompt, courteous, helpful, communicative and one with a positive and uplifting attitude. We received daily check ins on how our dog was doing without us which relieved our minds knowing she was being well taken care of at our home. We returned to a spotless house and a happy pup and we have already booked Jaelyn for another visit! Thank you so much for your love and care!”


“Paula sent us pictures of our pup while we were away which we loved. Our house was clean and in order when we got home. We have booked with Paula before and she has always been great!”


“Christine is MAGICAL. She's your dogs fairy dogmother and absolutely is the next best thing when you're not available to be with your pets. We have 3 senior dogs and 2 cats and she gladly cared for all of them while we were out of town for our wedding for 3 weeks! She spoiled us with photos and videos daily and took care of our mail and packages ( we had literally a ton of heavy packages come for our wedding and she was kind enough to carry them in the house for us daily. Christine managed all of our dog quirks with ease. One of our dogs has issues with urinary incontinence due to a medication she takes and can't hold her pee. We have pee pads all over the house and let's just say Christine was doing laundry daily for this reason. Because she pee's in the house our other dogs have gotten confused and also do so at times but Christine was on it! She works from home and was basically available to them at all hours of the day, taking them on fun adventures and giving them all the kisses and cuddles that we couldn't. One of our dogs is on several medications and when Christine realized I had not left enough portioned for her, she didn't bat and eye and offered to portion them out for me and even left some for when we got back! our girl is often fussy about taking her meds and Christine was patient trying different methods to get her to comply daily. Christine problem solves and manages problems well and with our crazy bunch we were so relieved to not have to worry. Also she left our house cleaner than it was and fixed our back door that was unknowably broken when we left. We're so grateful to have found our new sitter for life <3 I've been at this game for a long time and she is 100% the best.”


About: Hello! My schedule is I work 3 12-hour shifts a week during the week so I will fit in requests as best as possible. I have been taking care of pets consistently for 3 years now and I really enjoy it. There are some challenges, and I've had some cats I never even saw while sitting but it's something I love to do. I currently own 5 cats and 1 dog! My dog is an adorable Dachaund Bassett mix who is amazing! I've learned a lot of patience with dogs because Boris wants to sniff EVERYTHING. But I love him to death and I love dog watching when I go to the park or driving around town. Dogs are just awesome! My oldest cat is named Halite, or Hal. He is an interesting one with a huge attitude but can be so sweet. He's our security cat because he protects Boris from other cats and even small dogs. He is just a very cool cat! Benny is our cat distribution system sucess story, he is so sweet and loves playing with two other cats, Louis and Nyx. I enjoy being around dogs and petting them and walking them. I tend to get along really well with most dogs and cats. I have my own vehicle which I don't mind having pets in it as to allow for maximum flexibility. I do work during the day for the most part but I am willing to visit dogs early mornings and late evenings as much as needed and possible. I look forward to meeting some great dogs and cats!! My schedule is very flexible right now and can work with most needs, especially with advance notice. I have had no issues working visits into my daily routine. I cannot care for a pet at home right now. At a client's home I just try to be there and gauge their interest as I go. If they want to play I'll play, if they hide that's okay too! My goal is to give them the highest care possible without increasing their street/anxiety level while their person(s) is away.
