“Sara was a lovely sitter! She was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. We felt so comfortable with her watching our pup in our home while we were gone and we could truly trust our dog was in good hands. We came home to a spotless house! She’s going to be our new go-to. Thank you so much Sara!”

“One of a kind! Kendall is incredibly reliable and a wonderful communicator. We felt our animals were in good hands the entire week. Last minute our cat got an infection and she didn’t bat an eye to administering his medication daily. Our cats were both relaxed and happy when we got home, plus the dishes were done and the house was tidy!”


About: Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I grew up with a German Shepherd and was one of his primary caregivers, taking him on walks, arranging playdates, and providing his daily care, including administering medications. I also volunteered at a local dog shelter for several years during undergrad, where I regularly walked and cared for a variety of dogs. Outside of my own experience, friends and family often rely on me to check in on their dogs and house-sit for extended periods. I’m comfortable with dogs of all personalities and sizes and will treat your pup like my own! I am currently a student, so my schedule is flexible. My weekends and evening are open for house sitting or dropping in for walks for your puppies! When at your home, I make sure to keep a tidy environment and return all items used back to their original spot cleaned while giving your furry friends love and enrichment with walks, tug-a-war, and more!
“Jenna is amazing! She took such great care of our 3 dogs and even taught them new tricks! She is extremely communicative and sent us photos and videos often. She left our house spotless and even watered my plants for me. She is now our go to person!”

“Emily was AMAZING as a house sitter! She was so great with our kitty Saber, even when he had some accidents. She honestly went above and beyond to keep the rest of the house clean. She was very responsive and detail-oriented. Cannot recommend more!!!”


“Douglas was such a great pick to hang with our pups and care for our home while we were gone. Our pups like to keep things interesting and Douglas’s patience with them is not only appreciated, but is admired, especially when it came to caring for our senior dog. We would gladly welcome Douglas back to our home, and I know the pups would love that too.”
“Emily was fantastic!!! She was able to come on short notice to watch my blind dog while I was at an appointment, pictures were sent while I was out and more importantly my lil man was kept safe and cared for!! Talk about peace of mind she made my day worry free, Thank You So Much!”

“Thank you Marissa! Figgy was well cared for and were so thankful to be able to leave her at home instead of at a kennel. Marissa left the house spotless and was extremely flexible when our plans changed.”


“Isaiah did a wonderful job babysitting our dogs and house! We came back and the dogs were not anxious at all and the house was clean. They were well taken care of and he sent many photos. Definitely will use again!”

“This was my first time hiring a pet sitter and Kaylynn couldn’t have been more perfect. She kept me updated, consistently checked in regarding my travel plans to support with care, provided quality care and walks and snuggles to my furbabies. I am so grateful for Kaylynn and will definitely hire her again for future pet sitting needs.”

“Cheyenne did a wonderful job caring for our 3 aussies in our home while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and responsible. We will definitely hire her again for our pet care needs!”

“First time we’ve ever left our cat and home in the hands of a stranger. We have learned our cat might love Rosemary more than us. ? She kept us up to date with pictures. We’ll definitely book her again.”

“Kira was amazing with our beagles. Kept in touch, took care of everything, and treated them like her own. We were so pleased with how well she cared for Luna and Neko and look forward to booking with her again. Excellent sitter and Luna and Neko’s new best friend!”


“Emily did a fantastic job caring for our critters and home while we were away. She provided daily updates, photos, and even a video or two. We really appreciated her good communication and reliability. Thanks for a great experience!”

“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”


“The other reviews are correct Andrew is amazing! He took care of my pup while I was away but also took care of my home like it was his own. He sent updates with pictures and his communication was simply great. I'm so happy I found someone who I can trust to look after my dog and home while I'm away. I cannot say enough good things about Andrew and I will be booking him a few more times this year. Thank you Andrew!”

“Alex did a great job with our 2 pups. He took detailed notes at our meet and greet and followed their feeding and walking schedules carefully. Great communication and pics so we knew they were receiving good care. We’ve already booked Alex for our next time away”

“Over the moon with Ellie! She took great care of our two boys whilst we were gone easing so much anxiety. Ellie is responsive, professional, cared so well for the doggies, and went above and beyond!”

Douglas was such a great dog sitter! Being new to the area and looking for a new dog sitter I decided to try rover for the first time and was not disappointed. He treated my dog like his own and sent tons of photo updates so I never had to worry! He even went above and beyond and watched my dog for an extra half day when my flight got delayed so he wouldn’t have to be home alone. Definitely the best dog sitter we’ve had!
Emily stayed with our pup while we were away for our first anniversary trip. She is, without a doubt, the best sitter we have ever had for Kobe. Not only did she send pictures every day, she took him on walks at the park, monitored his eating habits, brought in our mail, and came to the rescue when the breaker flipped and AC went out. We came home to a calm and happy pup! We are so grateful for her and trust she’ll be great with your pets too. Kobe can’t wait until he sees her again 🥰

Kira was amazing with our beagles. Kept in touch, took care of everything, and treated them like her own. We were so pleased with how well she cared for Luna and Neko and look forward to booking with her again. Excellent sitter and Luna and Neko’s new best friend!

Ezra is wonderful. He took care of our dog Rev very well, and kept us updated while we were away. We came back to a clean house and a happy dog. We love that he took Rev for a hike and also to meet some people for socializing. I would definitely think of him again when we have other trips out of town.

Kendall was beyond friendly and responsible. She was extra caring communicating with us before we booked with her, sending her ETA when she came for a meet and greet when we were looking for a house and dog sitter. Kendall is the perfect house sitter as she is self employed and therefore can do a lot of work from home. She let us know exactly when she had outside commitments such as business meetings so we knew our pup would have plenty of company while we were gone. She also asked many questions to make sure she knew exactly what we were hoping for in terms of care. We received many updates and photos while we were gone and Kendall sounded like she generally enjoyed everything about taking care of our pup. Kendall left our home in spectacular condition. Thank You Kendall!
