“Ari was the best! Ari looked after our two cats over the thanksgiving holiday. We weren’t sure how the cats were going to react to a pet sitter, and Ari did a great job making sure all their needs were met and more.”

“Savannah is awesome at communicating. I work a busy schedule and had to communicate with her about an emergency regarding my pups and she was super responsive and came up with solutions to help us the most helpful ways. Great sitter. Definitely recommend.”
“Johanna is always amazing! She's so good with Oscar's care and he absolutely adores her. He used to be desperate for attention when I came home from work trips but since Johanna became our regular sitter, he has such a good time with her that it seems like he doesn't even mind that I'm gone.”

“Kate has watch our two pups twice now, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She is incredibly thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely sweet with our dogs. It’s clear she takes the time to understand their personalities and make them feel comfortable and loved while we’re away. We always come home to happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We fully trust her and will absolutely continue booking with her in the future. Highly recommend!”


“Jerrie wad the best. Always attentive to Mike's needs as well as keeping me updated with pics and messages of how things were going. I have recommended her to my friends and family.”
“Once again Deidre was amazing with my pups! I think they recognize her now because they are starting to come out of their kennel for her with no issues! Which is a huge accomplishment for them.”

“I’ve used a few different sitters on Rover before and have had great experiences, but Brett truly went above and beyond. He sent tons of pictures during each drop-in with the cutest (and funniest) commentary, which made being away so much easier. He even made friends with my cat who normally hides from strangers — I was shocked! He was also extra gentle and loving with my senior dog, which meant so much to me. It’s clear he genuinely cares. I would absolutely book him again and highly recommend him.”

“Aaliyah was great with my Beau. He’s very passionate about his pool time and Aaliyah made him a happy boy by playing fetch with him in the pool. She was very communicative which I really appreciate.”

“Ana was wonderful! Very responsive, friendly, totally reliable and a natural with our dogs. She watched our two Labradors for a couple days, she was great about sending notes and pictures of how things were going, our dogs loved her! We would definitely recommend her services!”
“Melanie did a great job taking care of my very unfriendly cat Daisy! She sent lots of pictures & updates, which I enjoyed getting. Melanie brought my mail in & took my garbage out to the curb for pick up too. She went above & beyond! I am so happy to have found her to take care of Daisy when I am gone!”

“Hannah was great! We will definitely use her again. She responded to all of our questions promptly and our dog was very well cared for. I especially likes the photos that she sent. I recommend her highly.”

“Maggie did an incredible job taking care of my dog on a holiday week while I was traveling! She was super responsive, gave great updates and took lots of pictures. She went the extra mile when my dog had a slight health issue and even called me to make sure I had all the details and felt comfortable with next steps.”

About: Pet sitting has been an unexpected passion in my life. While I have no pets of my own right now, I was the proud parent of a headstrong boxer for ten years and grew up with both dogs and cats. Originally part of a two person team, I've been a pet sitter for over three years. Now I'm back to sitting solo, with the benefit of being able to provide 1-on-1 attention to your dogs and cats. I work from home 3 days a week, with the flexibility to stay home every day based on the needs of your pet. I'm able to offer at least two long walks a day, or more depending on what your pet is used to. I enjoy getting out and hiking on the weekends, so if that's something your dog would enjoy, I can make it happen! I have a fully fenced in backyard, quiet and enclosed and away from other people and traffic. There's sun, shade, and dry spots to watch the rain. I'm able to leave my door open and let them come and go from the yard as they please, all while keeping a constant eye on them from my home office.
“Becky always does an amazing job with toby and is extremely patient with him giving the fact he has a lot of energy and for a bigger sized dog she's extremely helpful with him, we recommend her for all your dog sitting needs!”

“Annmarie was fabulous! I would use her again! She is thoughtful and caring about your pet. Sent pictures and you can tell she cares for your family pet kindly. So glad to have found her!!! Thank you”

About: I work from home, so I’m available to give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. I have years of experience caring for cats and understand their unique personalities and needs. While I’ve spent more time with cats, I’m quickly gaining hands-on dog experience thanks to friends who trust me to dog-sit their pups. I’ve even rescued and returned lost dogs in my neighborhood—proof that I take every animal’s safety and well-being seriously. Whether your pet loves long walks, cozy naps, or quiet companionship, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. Your dogs and cats will be in caring, reliable hands. I work from home and can easily flex my schedule to accommodate your pet's needs. My schedule is M-Th, 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. I do go into the office on the occasional Thursday, but that is also flexible. I have a yard for pups to play around in. Living close to the Capitol building, I have many walking l9cations available to me. I've been watching dog training videos and learning how dogs interact with each other and other humans. My home is cozy and clean. I have space for smaller pets + a basement if they need more room to run around inside.

Johanna is always amazing! She's so good with Oscar's care and he absolutely adores her. He used to be desperate for attention when I came home from work trips but since Johanna became our regular sitter, he has such a good time with her that it seems like he doesn't even mind that I'm gone.

Aaliyah dropped in on our cat Louise while we were away for a day, and I'd recommend contacting her for your cat sitting needs! We were nervous to use a Rover sitter for the first time, and she put us at ease with a video chat before hand. She sent pictures of Louise, and the whole visit was so easy to coordinate. Thank you Aaliyah!

Ket was truly a lifesaver and an absolute gem of a sitter. We contacted her very last minute, and without hesitation she was more than willing to step in and help care for our cats, Lucy and Peter. From the very beginning, communication was easy, reassuring, and thoughtful. We had already left the U.S. for vacation a few weeks before she came, so we scheduled a video call to explain everything in detail—our situation, how our fur babies were doing, their routines, and all the instructions for the house. Ket was attentive, asked great questions, and made us feel completely at ease right away. It was clear she genuinely cared and took the responsibility seriously. While we were away, she followed every instruction perfectly and went above and beyond. She made sure Lucy and Peter were well-fed, played with, and showered with love and attention. She cleaned their feeder, water fountain, and litter box machine thoroughly, keeping everything spotless. On top of that, she kindly brought in our Chewy online order and even took our trash can out so it could be picked up—small details that made a huge difference and showed how thoughtful she is. Lucy and Peter were clearly comfortable and happy with her, which means everything to us. Coming home knowing our cats were loved and our home was well cared for was priceless. We would absolutely, without a doubt, have Ket again. She is reliable, kind, proactive, and genuinely wonderful. Highly, highly recommended! 💛

Maddy is wonderful! My dog absolutely loves her. She’s thoughtful, thorough, and leaves no trace behind. Her communication is stellar, and she takes care to secure the house every time. Reliable and punctual. She shows up like clockwork. Friendly, caring, and completely dependable. Highly recommend!

We absolutely love Erin and could not be happier with the care she gave our kitties. They adore her and were so relaxed and comfortable with her, which says everything. She spent meaningful time with them and genuinely cared about them. We came home to happy, content cats, which is the best feeling. She even brought in packages from our porch, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. We trust her completely and would recommend her without hesitation.
