“Gabriel was a very good pet sitter for this extended time. He was very attentive and communicated regularly to let us know our little one was in great hands. His service gave us the peace of mind that our home and our pet was well cared for. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Gabriel again!”


“I’m selective to say the least when finding care for our fur babies, especially now that our 12-yr old pup has various health issues. Our baby girl requires insulin shots x2/day and needs to relieve herself every couple of hours. Did I mention she’s not a fan of said shots and stubborn to boot? And this is where Tory comes in to ease every worry and the crazy guilt we had about leaving her. She was an utter rockstar; I couldn’t have put together a more perfect dog sitter from scratch. Tory followed their routine to a T, and she provided consistent updates and pics. Her communication and quick responses were superb, bar none. And while 100% not expected at all, she cleaned the bed sheets and towels making our return home even less stressful. I want to keep her on retainer 😂 In all seriousness, she was a blessing and just what the doctor ordered for us to have a relaxing vacation while knowing our girls were well taken care of. We can’t give Tory enough praise ♥️”



“Evelyn did an amazing job house sitting and looking after my two doggos while I was out of town for a week. Was nervous about leaving them for the first time but was immediately put at ease knowing they were in good hands. She sent multiple updates with pictures daily which really helped a lot. She was flexible with my schedule and accommodating all around. Highly highly recommend and look forward to hiring her again in the future!”


“Thank you for watching my sweet girl! Your were amazing and a lifesaver being that it was last minute!”


“Ashlyn did an amazing job watching over our pets and home including watering our plants. Our dog loves her. She is reliable and communicates well, and also sent frequent updates and photos. It gave our family peace of mind knowing she was taking care of things. She left our house tidy and we would be glad to have her back anytime.”


“She did great! We left for 4 days and she was very responsive and took great care of Otis while we were gone!”


“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Lexie! Entrusting someone with the care of your senior dog is no small thing, but my old ladies were in the best hands with Lexie. It was a huge reprieve to know my 13 year old lab wouldn’t be subjected to the stress of leaving her home. Even my cat loved having Lexie to snuggle up with. Thank you, Lexie, from the bottom of my heart. 🐾💕”


About: Hi, I’m Claudia, I am a remote worker that likes to pet sit on the side. As a remote worker I am able to be at your home throughout the weekday to attend to your pet’s need. I have 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I was a volunteer at my local animal shelter where I gained experience interacting with all different breeds of dogs. Even though most of my sits are with dogs, I do have a special place for cats in my heart as I use to have a cat. Things that I do to ensure a good quality sit: * I have a questionnaire that I ask for all my pet sits where I ask the owner to describe a day in the life of their pet(s) and how I should replicate that structure while they’re gone. * You will get updates from me with a picture of your pet(s), the frequency of the updates is dependent on the preference of the owner. * My favorite part of a dog sit is going on walks so if that is required I will have no problem getting our daily walk. If your pet is not able to go on walks, I can have playtime with them inside or outside. * One of the biggest compliments I get is how clean I leave a home, I will treat your home with upmost respect and keep it tidy and clean during my stay. * I have experience administering oral medications As a remote worker, I am available most of the day. In the afternoon and weekdays is when they will get more cuddles and attention as there is more flexibility during those times of my schedule. When I walk a dog, I check that the pet is not injured or feeling unwell. I have my own bag with poop bags, water bowl and snacks. I do take notice if they are not feeling well on the walk (overheated, throwing up, abnormal stool) and I will let the owner know to see if there’s anything I can do to help them at that moment.

“Whatever I say here will not do justice to how incredible my experience has been with Ariel. She is PHENOMENAL! I have left my kitten Croissant with several cat sitters and boarders in the past, and nothing and no one has come close to giving me the peace of mind I had leaving my cat with her. Ariel looked after her for 9 days, at my place; by the end of the period, my cat felt Ariel was her mum! Croissant looked happy, healthy and well looked after. Also - the fact that Ariel left my place in mint condition and even showed the courtesy to do the laundry etc. was such a nice touch and very much appreciated. It goes without saying Ariel is my go-to sitter moving forward. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!”


“Nicole was perfect again; this is my 9th time in using Nicole. My dogs are extremely comfortable with her each and every time. I use Nicole each and every week due to my work schedule and I never worry about my babies. Highly recommend....”


About: Howdy! I’ve had dogs all my life, I used to work full time at a doggie day care so I’ve picked up tips and tricks for various breeds along the way. I am able to provide care for senior dogs as well. I took training classes and emergency care courses while working. If you would like, I can provide 1 on 1 training with your pup while they stay with me. While your pet is under my care, I ensure that I am paying attention to their needs and to any instructions you give me. I have a dog of my own that loves to play! I also have two cats but they have their own room. Needless to say, all my pets are spoiled and so will yours while they are in my home. I look forward to hearing from you. I work full-time during the week, however, I am remote and can be available to care for your pet! I have a pup of my own so I know how to work with their needs. I have a backyard for playing and a friendly dog that will keep your dog company! If needed, I can separate and focus on your pet.

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and my reliable, gentle approach. I’ve cared for pets of all ages, including playful puppies and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs and make sure they feel safe and loved. I currently work part-time and also spend time studying, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of availability throughout the week. I’m often free during mornings, afternoons, and weekends, making it easy to accommodate pet care needs. I care for pets with love, patience, and attention to their routines. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and affection. I treat every pet like family and follow any specific instructions closely.

“So wonderful with our girls!! 10/10 will definitely use again ❤️”


“Gabrielle was great, even when my special needs cat Scooter decided to intentionally become extra special needs in my absence. She stayed at my house with my cats while I was on vacation for a week and didn’t even mention his antics until after I got back. I was mortified when I found out but she simply took care of it like a total professional while I was gone. She took good care of my house too. She actually apologized for it not being “more tidy” when I got back, but it was plenty tidy. If Scooter hasn’t totally scared her off I would 100% book her again!”


“Laci was great! Excellent communication and took great care of our fur babies. We would definitely hire her again!”


“Awesome and thoughtful.”


About: I have taken care of my household pets for almost 5-10 years. Also dog sit family dogs when needed. Give them lots of play time. I walk my own dog in the morning prior to work, which is from home 8 to 5. Breaks are very flexible for potty breaks. Huge fenced in back yard. Personal pup 3 years old, crate trained, and very friendly. 7 year old son who loves dogs and plays well.

“Madison and her family were great! She was so excited to have my dogs come stay with her. My dogs loved her and the kids! They were exhausted when we got home! She sent me lots of cute pics of the pups! I will definitely be using Madison again!”


About: I personally been a dog mom for the past 11 years. I definitely considered the family dog sitter/ pet sitter for all my family members I’m currently a stay at home mom. Have plenty of time and a huge backyard for your fur babies to enjoy their stay with me. I have a huge backyard for your fur babies to enjoy their stay with me. I currently do play time with my own furry babies at least once a day

About: I’ve loved and taken care of dogs, big and small, for as long as I can remember. From walking and feeding to basic obedience, family and friends have always been able to rely on me. A long term goal of mine is actually to become a certified dog trainer and have a personal dog of mine titled in personal protection (schutzhund), so while others may be a bit intimidated by larger working breeds, they tend to be my favorites! Unfortunately I’m not as familiar with cats, but as long as instructions are clear then I can get the job done :) I’m available every day of the week for walks, drop ins, and sittings. After I’ve walked and cared for my dog, I’ll be there for yours :) Currently I’m not offering boarding, but as for sittings, I can feed your pets (including any supplements or toppers you give them, and no worries if you feed your pet a special diet), walk your dog, and keep them company. Multiple pets are no issue at all. If a pet needs oral medication administered, that’s also no problem.

Matthew A.
“Matthew is the only sitter I trust to give my dog the same love and care that I do. I know when I leave out of town I can count on Matthew. Finding someone who truly understands the quirks and needs of an English Bulldog isn’t easy but he exceeds every expectation. My dog requires ALOT. Matt handled it like a pro from day one. He took the time to learn my dog’s routines, personality and preferences. I never have to worry about her allergies or medications (and there is alot) when I leave her with him because I know he's on top of it. He always sends goofy photos and makes sure i'm updated, whether its just a daily dog walk or watching her for me while I am out of town, Matthew is the best.”


Jessica C.
“Jessica is trustworthy and very caring with pets. I’ve had her watch my dogs multiple times and have heard good things from friends and family that I’ve recommended her to.”

Valerie V.
“Valerie took care of my dog that is under 1 years old, she took Easter pictures and printed them for me and I loved that. We have used Valerie’s home multiple times and have loved it each time. Always sent me pictures of my doggy each night! We’ll definitely use her in the near future!”


Leah G.
“I’m personally not on rover but if I was I’d book Leah every time. I book her directly to watch my three big dogs and she manages all of them with ease. One of my dogs is a senior and has to have food specially prepared, this has never deterred her. She knows dog body language off the top of her head so she’s able to manage my reactive dog (better than I can lol). You won’t regret having Leah watch your dogs, or your pets in general!”
