“Allison was great with our toy golden doodle! Milly loved her. Allison was right on time, was in touch with us, and took great care of Milly. We will definitely call her again!”

“We have two pets that require daily meds (multiple times a day) and Tommy was enthusiastic to learn and care for them. He was always on time and extremely communicative. We got daily pics of our babies too which was a massive plus for us. Thanks again, Tommy!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Cynthia watching our two dogs. They can be a bit of a handful at times but she was great in her care for them and very respectful of our home as well. She also kept me updated with many pictures which was much appreciated!”


“Bethany was great! She house sat for us and our two Boston terriers, sent lots of pictures, and took great care of them and the house. All pet parents know how stressful it is to leave your furbabies behind and it was such a relief knowing they’re in good hands.”

About: What sets me apart is how much patience and attention I give to every pet I care for. I take the time to understand their personality, routine, and individual needs instead of treating every pet the same. I’m especially comfortable caring for cats and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own environment. I’m also willing to learn and follow any specific instructions an owner gives me so their pet can get the same care they’re used to. I have open availability during the week and weekends that also includes holidays and special occasions. This makes sure I can fit pet care within my day to day schedule. I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while they’re with me. I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, playtime, cleaning up, and giving them plenty of attention. I also make sure to respect each pet’s personality and give them space when they need it. My goal is for both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident while they’re in my care.
“Belen took such good care of Pedrito! We've had two sitters move out of the area, and I'm so glad it was easy to find Belen who was clear, communicative, and has experience with small, reactive dogs like mine. Belen's calm demeanor is just what my dog needs. She gave him the space and opportunity to approach her when he was ready when they first met, which made a huge difference. He warmed up to her pretty quickly because of that patience. I would definitely recommend booking with Belen. She housesat, which I appreciated because that's the most comfortable for my dog. She sent lots of update pictures and videos while I was away. Can't say enough great things, thanks Belen! I'll definitely be booking with you again for Pedrito!”

About: Let's go on a walk! Depending on where you live, I'm happy to find a safe and fun place to walk your pup. If doing a home visit, we'll play fetch, tug, or frisbee until your pup is panting and ready for a snooze. Whatever the need, I’m more than likely to fall in love with your pooch and am willing to accommodate any of their needs :) Hello! My name is Brittney and I'm a responsible owner of a (very high-energy) 8-year-old Siberian Husky rescue pup, plus a 3-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix. Got a puller who needs a walk with someone who's been there? I'm your girl; my husky pulls me around the neighborhood as we're training for a sled race. Need someone to swing by and feed and play with your dog? Give me your stinkiest canned food and a ball, I've got this one. I love dogs and would love to help provide care/exercise for busy pup parents, as I know life gets busy, and sometimes we all need help giving our dogs the attention, care, and exercise they need. And, of course, I'll send you pics and text updates. Any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I work a day job with a really flexible schedule and am almost always available for pups in the area. Happy to take on last-minute requests as well! I care for my client’s pets/homes as if they were my own. (That rhymes!) Our pets are family and even when I’m working with other people’s dogs, I treat them as family (usually because I fall in love with them.)
“Angie was so wonderful! She really helped us feel like our dog was in good hands and we could trust her. highly recommend! I’m so sad to be moving but whoever books her, she is great and gives great care!”


About: I used to have two dogs and a cat along with many other random animals. Have always loved pets, just not in a place to have my own at the moment but would love to help others! I work full time, but I am available at night and on the weekends to help out with your furry friends! We can work together to find a schedule that works for both of us. I live in a one bedroom apartment in a managed building. It is a very pet friendly building and has a fenced in area for dogs. We also have a grooming station.

“Chris seems like a very sweet and reliable person- he was universally very fast to respond to messages, kept in contact with us while we were away, and all our critters seemed very happy when we got home!”

“Isis was wonderful! She took excellent care of our two cats and home. The cats were happy and the house was left clean and tidy. We also received detailed updates every day, which we appreciated.”


“Catherine was an amazing cat sitter and I would absolutely rebook with her again. She followed all of my care instructions very carefully and was extremely attentive to my cats’ needs while I was away. One thing that really stood out to me was how quickly she noticed an issue with my cat Bruce, who has chronic constipation. I had explained the warning signs to look out for before I left, and the very first night I was gone she noticed he was trying to use the litter box but couldn’t. She contacted me immediately, made herself available for a phone call, and followed all of the care steps I walked her through. Thankfully, Bruce improved a lot after that, and I was so grateful she caught it so early. She also sent constant updates and photos throughout the trip, so I was never left wondering how my babies were doing. Catherine house sat for two nights as well, and when I came home my apartment was exactly as I left it. I felt like my cats and home were genuinely cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate pet sitter.”

“Kristina provided such diligent and compassionate care to my two senior dogs with particular needs. Sent frequent and detailed communication that kept me up to date and comfortable!”

“Katherine was a rockstar from start to finish. We just moved to the area, and so we had to find a new sitter for our cat, Moose. Moose absolutely loved Katherine and warmed up to her within minutes. He was playing with her on day 1, and it took prior sitters multiple visits before he even thought of touching a toy. Katherine gave multiple photo and video updates during her visit, and was super communicative of any issues. She stayed overnight and treated our home as her own. We will definitely be asking her to sit for Moose again!”


“Amy was amazing! She house sat with my cat Louie for a week and was so good about sending updates, videos, pics. She gave Louie lots of love and attention, I’m so grateful to have found her”

“Leonardo was excellent! He was super communicative and very sensitive to our pup who can be a bit nervous especially with fireworks. He left our house just as he found it. We would definitely recommend him and book again! Thank you.”

“Michael was very punctual, pleasant and relaxed — seemed to “get” my 18-y.o chihuahua right away. This was my first time using Rover, and Michael was a very lucky choice! When I came home several hours later, both man and dog seemed very happy, and my house was in perfect order. Michael was available with less than 24 hours advance notice which was also very wonderful.”

D’Mitri was one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! He watched my dogs for a week while I was on vacation and took terrific care of them! He treated our house with respect, sent constant updates on the dogs, and took care of a couple emergencies while we were gone. I would highly recommend D’Mitri if you need a polite, respectful, and reliable sitter!

Anna was absolutely wonderful! She cared for our cat Fry during the day while he was recovering from surgery, and she made a stressful time feel so much easier and worry-free. She followed all of our instructions perfectly, was always punctual and reliable, and took such great care of Fry. She kept him and his crate clean when he was struggling with the litter box, gave him lots of love and cuddles, and kept us updated throughout the day. We felt completely at ease knowing Fry was in such caring hands. We would absolutely book Anna again and highly recommend her!!

Morgan and Meaghan were exceptionally kind, professional, and communicative while housesitting for my dog Kaya. I received daily updates and photos that made it clear Kaya was well attended to and completely comfortable with them, and I came home to a spotless apartment. It was obvious from the updates that Kaya was being her usual snuggly self, which is the best endorsement of all. Morgan and Meaghan would be top of my list to stay with Kaya again!

Isis was outstanding. We had a trip planned and needed someone reliable and loving to watch our two dogs. We found that in Isis. I was able to enjoy the weekend without worrying about our dogs. We received updates with pictures and came back to a spotless home. Greeted with excited happy pups with full bellies. They couldn't wait to tell us about their slumber party weekend. Would highly recommend Isis.

Stacy spent 10 days with our 2 pups and did such a an amazing job with taking care of them and our home! She took the time to learn about them and their routines and once we left she would send updates on how everything was going everyday. Once we got back from our trips our pups looked so well taken care of and our home was impeccable!

Marangela was absolutely wonderful! She was able to pet sit for us last minute, and from the very beginning, she was so communicative, responsive, and reliable. She took such great care of our dogs and kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her help and will definitely be rebooking with her in the future! Highly recommend Marangela!

Vika was our first dogsitter on Rover and she was great. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and Vika helped him through it. When we came home, our dog was happy and healthy. Normally, if I go out of town for a couple of days, he gets stressed out after I get back, too. Not this time. He behaving like he normally does. I would definitely ask Vika back again.

Chandler was wonderful with our two boys, Bruce and Barry, while we were abroad for a week. She was attentive and communicative the whole time, sending daily photo updates that gave us total peace of mind. Our boys are couch potatoes and she spent quality time with them, which is exactly what we wanted. She also left our place nice and tidy. We’d absolutely book her again and highly recommend!

Emily was such a dedicated and attentive sitter— I highly recommend her! She took amazing care of my dog, Palmer, and sent photos every day. She took her on long walks and provided her with enrichment activities and cuddles for all 5 days that she was with her.
