Thank you so much Aniela for your help!”

“Tiffany was absolutely fantastic! She cared for our 8-month-old puppy, Disco, for 7 days/nights at our home, and we couldn’t be more pleased. Tiffany's communication was top notch-she sent photos every morning and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. She took wonderful care of Disco, ensuring she was happy and well-cared-for. It was clear that she also respected our home-when we returned, the house was clean, and everything was how we left it. Tiffany went above and beyond, and we will 100% be rebooking her in the future. Highly recommend!”

“Shanda exceeded my expectations! She house sat for a long time and sent frequent updates, kept the house clean, and communicated perfectly. I would absolutely recommend her and will hopefully book with her again.”


“Misha was incredible! He communicated so well, took both my dogs on their daily separate walks, and sent a ton of pictures. My dogs normally seem anxious when I get home from being out of town but they seemed so chill & I could tell they got plenty of attention and activity while I was gone. I will definitely be requesting to book with him again next time I need a sitter or drop in visits!”


About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

Braelynn H.
“Braelynn is an exceptional, trustworthy, and reliable pet sitter! I have two cats, and one has a disability. Braelynn is the only person I trust to care for them when I am away for work trips. She spends time playing with them, feeds them per instructions and on schedule, and helps to maintain the cleanliness of their litter box. I really appreciate coming to my cats and seeing them being their happy, loving selves due to her attentive care.”
South River City pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natalie was amazing with our dog Leo! Since it was our first time leaving him with a sitter, we were a little nervous especially because he’s usually scared around new people. But Natalie was so patient and understanding, and she did such a wonderful job with him! She did a meet and greet with him before so that he can warm up to her which we really appreciated! She kept us updated with messages and photos throughout the weekend, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We can’t wait to book with her again she truly was incredible!

This was Shanna’s second house sit with our two cats, we are so comfortable leaving them in her hands. She sent regular updates and was very diligent with my diabetic senior cat’s needs. The communication was great and the cats were relaxed and social around her. Would 100% recommend Shanna and hope she comes back for us

Aniela did a great job taking care of our cat FD while we were away! The house was really clean when we got back, and our cat seemed very happy and well looked after. Aniela shared some cute photos and kept in touch about the key pickup and drop-off, which made the whole process easier. It’s so nice to have someone reliable looking after our girl while we’re gone! Thank you so much Aniela for your help!

Van was so great with our dogs and went above and beyond with her care with them and updating us often. She was extremely communicative and I never had to worry about anything while I was away. I came home to two happy/tired dogs and a clean home. I would definitely use Van again would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pup(s).

What a saving grace Sarah was to our family! Last minute did a meet and greet and was able to stay with our dog very last minute as I went into labor. Had to extend the stay and her willingness last minute will always be appreciated. Couldn’t recommend Sarah enough!

This recent booking was our first overnight stay with Steven. I’ve booked Steven a couple times before for day-stays and I was so relieved to hear he was available for house sitting while I went on a several day hiking trip in California. My pup is anxious and very attached to me so, I have a hard time leaving her with just anyone. Knowing Steven would be taking care of my pup let me fully enjoy myself while I was away. I’m appreciative of his flexibility, understanding, and communication. Thank you for all of your kindness and patience with Palomita! Can’t wait for our next house sitting opportunity.

Becca is amazing! She's one of my favorite pet sitters I have ever had! I reached out to many pet sitters that never replied, and even though she was traveling, she got back to me! I was so impressed with that, and we kept in touch over a week while I was still searching with no luck. She is very sweet, and my German Shepherd Jax fell in love with her at our meet and greet! I had a feeling she would be the "one" : )) She also grew up with large dogs and it's important to me to have someone who has experience with large dogs. I needed someone to stay here a lot, and she was able to and I know Jax was well taken care of! She was very communicative, and checked in twice daily with photos, which I loved. She also checked in with me the day before, and when she left, she sent me a recap text. I had such peace of mind while I was gone. I highly recommend Becca!

Working with Maggie was a breeze and she cared for our animals with love and consistency while we were away. She sent daily pictures and updates, addressed some unexpected medical issues with thoughtfulness and efficiency, and left our home in great condition.

So many great things to say about Krista! I’m a high maintenance dog mom and she accommodated all my requests. My foster dog, Susie, is spicy and Krista handled her perfectly. Gave her space and let Susie come to her. We don’t leave our dogs more than 5-6 hours and we were so lucky Krista was able to keep the dog’s routine. She gave regular updates and left the house clean and tidy. This was our first trip in years and Krista gave me peace of mind being away from my babies.

Anthony did an amazing job watching my golden retriever puppy for two days at my home. He kept me updated the entire time with constant communication, sent photos, and was super flexible with my schedule. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup, and my house was just as I left it. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend him!
