“Patty was FANTASTIC! This was our first time using Rover. We just moved to town and didn’t know anyone in the area. Patty watched our dogs while we were out of town for a long weekend trip. They adored her. She was very loving and attentive, and also sent us duly updates. We would definitely book Patty again. Highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie did such a great job with my 2 active dogs, and kept me informed regularly with updates, photos, videos and more. I’m grateful for her attention to their care, exercise, meal routine - she did it all. And she left my home clean and organized as well! I’ll be checking her availability for all my upcoming needs for in-home dogsitting 🙏”

“Brandi took such good care of our fur babies! We received frequent updates and photos that gave us such a peace of mind during our vacation. We recommend her wholeheartedly.”

“Sydney was a wonderful house/pet sitter and I would recommend her to anyone. I was very comfortable knowing our pets were well taken care of and she took better care of our home than we do 😂”

“Adrienne did an absolutely wonderful job with our boys. We got constant updates and lots of photos. She was fantastic with communication. She asked all the lquestions that show just how much she cares and wants to make sure that not only we, but our fur babies, were as comfortable and as well taken care of as possible. It was such a relief knowing our boys were being so well loved and attended to.”

“Alyssa did a great job with our anxious doggies! They seemed very content when we came back from our trip which is a testament to how well she did with them and how comfortable they were with her. We will definitely look to her in the future!”

“Emma stayed overnight with our dog and did a great job! She was patient with our unsure dog and kept us updated with photos and a video of them having a good time. She was recommended to us by a coworker and we would recommend her to anyone who needs a kind, reliable pet sitter!”
“I cannot recommend Jason enough as a dog sitter! From the moment we met, he made me feel completely comfortable leaving Dax in his care. Jason was incredibly accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure both Dax and I had peace of mind. He kept me updated with plenty of photos and videos, which showed just how much Dax loved his time with Jason—especially all the playtime! It's clear Jason truly cares about the dogs he watches. If you're looking for someone reliable, attentive, and genuinely kind, Jason is your person. Dax and I are so grateful for him!”

“Karen was a great sitter for our corgi. She spent plenty of time with her and updated us regularly with pictures. It was so nice to not have to worry about our pup while we were travelling!”

About: I always insure that pets are comfortable! I’ve taken care of old cats and dogs, and I when they are old like that it’s important to meet their needs first, as most of the time they need a lot of guidance and help. I am currently going into online college, so most of my day is free! I often sit down and watch TV or play video games, but I mostly enjoy writing and drawing in my free time I personally like to ask owners how there pets are in the company of others, as well as if any weather bugs them! The comfort of my pets, and owners is always my number 1 priority! I want to make sure that they are comfortable around me, and I never approach any animal until I’ve let them sniff me, it’s important that they trust me to be around them.
“We could not have been more thankful to have found Maddie for our puppy! This was our first time with an overnight needed for our new puppy and she made things easy, and made us feel comfortable leaving our new pup. Lots of great communications, pictures and updates! Thank you so much Maddie! We would definitely have her back!”

“Dominic did a wonderful job watching our two dogs over the weekend! He was very communicative, sending lots of photos and updates. He took them on daily walks and provided them with lots of playtime. You can tell he really cares for the dogs like his own. We will for sure be booking again in the future.”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, raising my first puppy on my family farm at 10 years old. Since then, I’ve worked professionally in a boarding facility where I supervised group play, monitored behavior, and made sure every dog stayed safe and comfortable. I also have hands-on experience in a shelter environment, working with animals of all temperaments, including shy, reactive, and high-energy. This has taught me how to read body language, build trust, and adjust care to each individual’s needs. I focus on creating calm, enriching experiences for all kinds of animals, whether that’s a structured walk, playtime, or just giving your pet the patience and attention they deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions in booking me for your next walk or stay! Caring for animals is something I intentionally build into my weekly rhythm. I am typically available Monday through Saturday and have a flexible, open schedule, so I can give pets the time and consistency they need throughout the day. I also run my own art business, which allows me to work independently and stay flexible. This means i’m able to be fully present for each visit, whether that’s a long walk, playtime, or a calm check-in for more sensitive pets. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every home I enter. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, boundaries, and body language so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and low-stress. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the space and the pet’s established routine. I’m especially mindful with shy or reactive animals, giving them patience, space, and gentle consistency to build trust. My experience in boarding and shelter environments has taught me how to read behavior, prevent conflicts, and create a safe, secure environment for pets of all temperaments.
“Paola was so attentive to our beloved Kona. She went above and beyond day after day, very consistent with check-in and photos, so we could see our dog as she even offered to clean up around the house a little bit and do anything that needed done while we were away of all of the rovers, I’ve tried this has without a doubt been our best experience. Quit looking for other rovers just go ahead and book Paola with confidence.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities through friends, family, and my own pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic training, and keeping routines consistent. Your pet will be treated like part of my family while you’re away! I maintain a consistent work schedule during the week, but I prioritize making time for the pets I care for. I’m available before and after work for walks, feedings, and check-ins. Your pet will get plenty of attention, playtime, and routine! I treat every pet like my own and prioritize a safe, stress-free environment. I closely follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and routines to keep things familiar. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away!

I felt very grateful to have Haydyn take care of my pets while I was away. She was proactive from the beginning, came for a meet and greet and was personable and professional. But my favorite part was she had great communication keeping me updated and sending me photos.

Haydyn was absolutely sweet and incredible! My boys LOVED her from the moment she stepped into my home. She sent plenty of updates attached with pictures of her and my boys cuddling on our couch. Definitely recommend her and will absolutely be reaching out to her when I'm in need of a sitter 🤍
