“Taylor was lovely! Our house was clean when we got back despite our gremlins running amok in our absence. She was communicative everyday and our babies loved on her and snuggled with her too. ♡”

“Lia is wonderful! She kept us updated with pictures throughout the weekend and kept our pups happy. She left our house perfectly clean afterwards and is incredibly responsive. Both of our pups adored her and we will absolutely use her again for our next trip.”

About: I have many years of experience caring for dogs and truly enjoy spending time with them. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where each dog receives personalized attention and care. I believe pets are part of the family, and I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect they deserve. My goal is to make each pet feel comfortable, happy, and at home while you are away. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and routine, whether that means going on walks, playing, or simply giving them companionship and attention. I am very attentive and responsible, and I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you always feel at ease knowing your dog is safe and well cared for. I am available full-time, which allows me to provide attentive, premium care throughout the day. Your dog will never feel rushed or overlooked, as I dedicate my time to ensuring they receive consistent attention, companionship, and care. I am flexible with scheduling and can accommodate both weekday and weekend needs. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where your dog can feel relaxed and comfortable. I am very conscious of my surroundings and always make sure the space is secure and suitable for pets. I focus on giving each dog enough exercise, attention, and affection based on their individual needs, while maintaining a peaceful atmosphere to ease any stress or anxiety. My goal is to make your dog feel at home and well cared for at all times.
“Andrea was amazing with my dog Parker. She was very loving and spent a lot of time with him. Parker can be picky when it comes to food and she was great, she made sure he ate all his meals at his time. He was also healing from a hotspot and she took great care of it, it was all heal by the time I came back home. I could tell Parker had a good time with her. I would recommend Andrea 100%. We will be booking again with her for sure.”

“Brittany delivers extraordinary service. We have never been disappointed and we have used her numerous times. If you want someone who will take care of your pets like they’re her own, Brittany is the sitter for you.”

“Bianca has watched our sweet girl twice now and always treats her like her own. Bindi seemed well cared for and happy when we return from our travels, and our place left in better condition that we left it. Bianca has excellent communication and always keeps in touch frequently while we're away. Thanks again Bianca! 😊”

“Yenny stayed with my pups for 2 weeks and did a wonderful job!! She stayed in constant communication with me, was so sweet and kind to my dogs, and took care of my house as if it was her own. I would happily book with her again!”

About: Passionate pet care professional, carrying years of experience taking care of the needs of animals, especially dogs. I've had a Chinese Crested Powder Puff (aged 15), a Chipoo Chinese Crested mix (aged 17), and multiple Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes. I have some experience looking after cats as well! I am able to take care of pretty much all their essential needs. I can also provide playtime for pets under my supervision. I ensure that they are in a safe space and away from any hazards. I'm good at providing updates, with pictures included, so you know that your pet is doing well while you are away! I have a somewhat flexible schedule. I'm not too busy during the week, so my availability to provide care for pets have been pretty good. I'm very attentive when it comes to pets. You can rest assured that your furry friend will have a safe environment to running around and play in. Multiple pets that engage in playtime with each other will be supervised while under my care to mitigate any aggression that may come up during this activity.
“Teagan was amazing. Petey was so well taken care of, she even took him on a hike, I came home to a very happy dog. I felt very comfortable leaving him with Teagan.”

“Malia was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two elderly dogs, giving them all the patience, love, and attention they needed. It’s always nerve-wracking leaving senior pets, but I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her hands. She kept me updated, followed their routines, and went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and happy. On top of that, she took great care of my home—it was spotless when I returned, and I could tell she was very respectful of the space. I can’t recommend her enough and will definitely be booking with her again.”


“Winnie was a wonderful dog sitter for our boy Lobito. She kept us well informed on how Lobito was doing during our time away. We found Winnie to be very conscientious, knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Winnie for any pet sitting needs you may have.”

About: i’ve always grown up with animals around my house, and absolutely love pet sitting for my neighbors, roommates, and friends. I have experience with senior dogs who have a strict medication schedule, active puppies, and leash reactive dogs. I enjoy working with all types of dogs and cats! I currently work 5 hour shifts 4 nights a week from about 4 or 5 till around 9 or 10. For overnight stays I can be fully available 24 hours with a minimum 2 week notice. I am an early riser so I can be available as early as possible. I currently go after work or before for evening visits based on your pet’s needs. I love to spend time outside and walking so i’m perfect for active dogs, I also like to stay on a schedule so i’m totally perfect for pets who like routine. Although I love to play and run around, I also like to sit and cuddle with the chill dogs and cats. I have taken care of several animals who have a medication schedule that I strictly follow. I have experience with reactive dogs and know how to properly read their body language and walk them appropriately.
Smallwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Marcella was absolutely amazing with my 13-week-old Golden Retriever. She was incredibly trustworthy, attentive, and clearly cared for him like he was her own. Her personality made the whole experience easy and stress-free, and I felt completely comfortable leaving my puppy in her care. I received updates throughout the stay and could tell he was happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Marcella to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Allie was amazing! She was very caring and attentive to my two girls. One deals with lots of anxiety when we’re gone and Allie was able to keep her comfortable with cuddles on the couch. My other is a senior who is declining everyday, Allie accommodated by the minute with great updates throughout the stay. Definitely recommend Allie for your pups!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Courtney was absolutely wonderful, and we loved working with her! Leaving our 140lb Great Dane and our sweet mixed breed pup in someone else’s care can be nerve-wracking, but we felt complete trust with Courtney from the start. She handled our very large dog with total confidence and ease, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our instructions perfectly and even took both dogs on their regular walks without hesitation. It was clear she genuinely enjoyed being around them and cared for them like her own. We are so grateful for her help and would happily use her services again in the future. Highly recommend Courtney to anyone looking for a trustworthy, capable, and caring sitter!

Jen was awesome! She made it so easy to be away from our dog knowing she was still getting lots of love! Jen sent us pictures and updates daily and we could see our pup felt so comfortable with her! She left our house in great shape and treated like her own. We would love to have Jen back taking care of our Chocho!

This was the first time my husband and I have ever used a service like Rover, and Angela did a great job making us feel confident in our decision. Our dog is 10 years old and not used to people she doesn’t know. Angela was super sweet and attentive to our girl during our trip. She sent several photos, videos and check-ins throughout her stay. She took good care of our place and Mo was in good spirits when we came home. We’ve already booked Angela again. I would definitely recommend her!

Emily was great. Not only did she take very good care of our precious dog Pebbles, our neighbors and local business employees committed about the good job Emily did taking care and walking Pebbles. Emily stayed at our home for two weeks while we were out of the country. She sent us daily photos and updates. My wife and I would highly recommend Emily to take care of your pets.
