“David was amazing! He came through for us in a pinch. He is a great comminicater and really loves animals. Our dog is a little shy and went to him immediately and was relaxed and happy upon our return.”
“Erin has been a god send in a time of extreme stress with a family member in the hospital. My dog Rigbee is so happy with her and i feel so lucky to have found her. Hire this girl if you need someone to house sit for you”
“Hannah was great. We left our 3 month old kittens and asked her to house sit. She was very communicative and kept us updated when we reached out. The kittens were happy and healthy when we got home. She also took great care of the house and brought in our mail. We would definitely recommend.”
“Hanan was amazing! We had a sitter cancel last second before the holidays and she stepped right in no problem. We’re very particular about who watches our Zuko as he can be a lot to handle for some but wow did she do great! Between watching our house and Zuko and taking care of our fish too, she definitely knows what she’s doing. She even had her own puppy boot camp for Zuko! He’s got a few more commands up his sleeves and really is even more well behaved than when we left. Thank you Hanan! Have an amazing new year and we look forward to using your services again soon!”
“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog who is older and has special needs, including medication. She left our house in excellent condition and was communicative throughout the stay. Highly recommend.”
“Well, what can I say? Hannah's the BEST, hands down. I think Mr. Coconut is going to ask to be adopted!! Hannah, is so kind, knowledgeable and just all 'round loves the pets she is caring for and it shows! She also took GREAT care of my home! :) Thank YOU, Hannah!!!”
“Maciyah was SO wonderful with our baby Nala. We had just rescued Nala 3 weeks prior to having to leave for 5 days and were nervous to leave her, however, Maciyah was so great with her. She made us feel so much better about leaving her. She sent lots of pictures, gave our girl good cuddles and played with her and took such great care! Would absolutely recommend Maciyah to anyone needing help with their fur baby and Nala can’t wait to see her again.”
“Erin was GREAT! We were nervous to use Rover for the first time but Erin eased all worries with an intro visit beforehand and then took great care of our kitties. She was clean, thorough, and trustworthy!! We will definitely book again.”
About: I take pride in my work as a pet sitter. I have experience and knowledge from taking care of past family members' pets. I am someone you can count on to do the job. I currently work full-time at a credit union (M-F). I get home at around 5:45pm/6pm. I am all focused on taking care of your pet (dog walking, drop in visit, or overnight); your cat or dog is my #1 priority. Thank you for trusting me with your family. Although I don't have any pets myself right now, I do have past experience taking care of pets (per my reviews). I take pride and much joy in taking care of both dogs and cats.
“Sarah was absolutely wonderful. She came completely prepared to interview us on her meet and greet with peanut and her questions were spot on. While watching Peanut, Sarah gave us updates twice daily and numerous pictures of Peanut enjoying her stay with Sarah. Thank-you for staying at our home with Peanut. We will definitely rebook with Sarah if she is available.”
“This is the second time Nicole has helped us with Rosie and she always goes above and beyond. Rosie loves her (even though she’s a little slow to warm up)! And it’s just so nice to be able to step away knowing our fur baby is in good hands.”
“Kayla is a great pet sitter and has house sat for me on multiple occasions. Kayla has been great with my 2 dogs and 2 cats, always sending picture and video updates. Kayla is also SO mindful of our space, making sure to keep it tidy and in order while we are gone.”
“Victoria was amazing! This was my first time on Rover and I was a little apprehensive but after our meet & greet, I knew our dogs would be in great hands. She was very communicative about her schedule and the dogs’ activities and she provided updates throughout the day without prompting, which was considerate and very much appreciated. I will certainly use Victoria in the future and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
About: Hello! My name is Karly and i’d be super excited to take care of your pets for you! I love animals and love to be around them. I love walking dogs and making sure they’re as excited and happy as I am! (or more!) I also love to play with dogs, watching them get so excited and playful is so fun! I love making sure animals enjoy their lives and have fun and know they are loved. Making sure they’re fed, cleaned, and making sure they play/excersize and use the bathroom is an important part of having an animal, especially a dog! Of course you’ll be their first and most important best friend but while you’re away I can remind them of how loved they are while making sure they have all of their needs! I currently work mornings until around 4pm, so if you are someone who is looking for evening care, I am a great fit! I am also available most days all day on the weekends. Safety is of upmost importance. I will be sure to always keep a third eye out to protect our beloved, sweet furry friends we love!
About: I have worked with many different breeds, in all different sizes. Cats + Dogs. I can take care of high energy or high anxiety animals! I am off at night and monday, tuesday, wednesday. I can take out and feed before and after work thurs-sun (7am-4pm). I have plenty time for fun and love! I have a yard that’s not fenced in, I have 2 friendly cats in a 3 story house. I can crate your fur baby if needed. I can do free feed or scheduled feeding.
“Absolutely wonderful!! She spoiled the dogs with lots of walks. Very thorough communication. I felt completely trusting leaving my pups in her hands and would definitely use again!”
“Laurie was so helpful even with a last minute request. She went above and beyond to make my dogs comfortable including my dog with anxiety who was in a new place. Extremely grateful!”
“Victoria watched my big Mastiff for almost 2 weeks while I was on a trip. We were so happy with how comfortable she made the pup and us feel. She communicated every day, took him for walks every day and it was so nice to have our pup in his own comfortable environment. We will definitely be using Victoria again! Couldn't speak more highly of her.”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I bring to every pet I look after. I treat each animal like they’re my own, paying close attention to their unique personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s high-energy playtime for puppies, gentle care for seniors, or simply providing a calm presence for anxious pets, I adjust my approach to what makes them feel safe and happy. I have experience with a wide range of dogs—from young pups learning the ropes to older dogs who need a slower pace and extra patience. I’m confident giving medications, handling special diets, and working with shy or reactive pets. I’m also great at keeping owners updated with thoughtful messages and lots of cute photos, so you always feel connected and reassured. I am home Friday- Monday each week. I work from an office Tues- thurs but am close to home, so I am able to come home during lunch for walks or other needs. Note: I do have a dog but I share him with my ex-partner. I only accept boarding requests when my dog is not home. Your pet will always be the only pet in my home when boarding. In my home, pets have a safe and comfortable environment with a fenced-in yard for outdoor play and fresh air. There are limited stairs, which is great for senior dogs or those with mobility issues, and I do have a crate available if your pet is crate-trained or finds comfort in having their own cozy space. When caring for pets in your home, I always follow your routines and preferences—whether that means keeping up with specific feeding schedules, sticking to favorite walking routes, or just knowing where your pet loves to nap. I’m happy to do whatever helps your pet feel most at ease, whether that’s crate time, couch cuddles, or extra play. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both you and your furry family member.
