“Bridget was a fantastic sitter! She is very knowledgeable and attentive to your pet’s needs (triggers, background, etc). She was kind and followed all instructions. Thank you, Bridget!”


About: I’ve babysat dogs for 3-5 years and every time I have the best time and always make sure to send pictures to the parents so they know that their baby is safe!! I take them to parks I do it all with them and it’s so much fun!!! It’s an easy side hustle since I’m a full time student in college and just an easy way to make money. I love dogs and I love making memories with them!!! I play with them and make sure that they get a lot of cuddles and love when they are in my care!! They always have the best time and always have the best memories!!!

“Fantastic sitter! Lindsay is excellent at communication, responsive to any modifications, and is very kind to our fur baby! She’s our go-to choice for taking care of our pet!”


“Allyson was GREAT! my first time leaving my babies alone with someone that wasn’t family. she sent pictures everyday. took them on walks that were time appropriate to the heat or walked them at night. She gave one of my dogs a calming treat when it was stormy weather because he’s storm scared. she provided all of us with the comfort of great care!”


“Absolute sweety. Loved on all the animals and took extra special care of everyone. Understood what was important! Definitely recommend and would love to book with again!😁”


“Rebekah was great! Our kittens warmed up to her quickly. She sent lots of pictures and a video each day we were gone. It made me miss them more, but I was so thankful to know they were in her good hands! Will definitely be booking with Rebekah again!”


“Brett was wonderful and very punctual. I have an extremely large dog and he handled him like a pro. They are best buddies now! Thank you, Brett for taking such good care of my big baby!”


“This was our first time using Rover and Taylor was amazing!! We will absolutely be working with her again. She watched our dog, Louie, during our wedding day and eased any stress or worry we may have had about leaving Louie that day. We got detailed updates and pictures throughout her visits. Cannot recommend her enough!!”


“Sara was once again amazing! She looked after my cat for most of the week while I was away for work, and couldn’t have been more communicative. Aethel clearly had a great time hanging out with Sara and her daughter, and I knew she was in great hands.”


“Jayla did a great job taking care of my dog and cat while I was out of town. I got lots of photos and updates and both pets were happy and well fed when I came back. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”


“Mr Mauricio was absolutely wonderful with my 12-year-old emotional support animal, chipper Jones. He even did some light food prep for chipper since he has a sensitive diet. I cannot recommend him more and will definitely be reaching out in the future for future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Mauricio!”


About: I was born and raised in Germany where it is considered animal cruelty not to walk you dog 3 times a day. So walking your dog no matter rain or shine will never be an inconvenience to me! I got my first dog at 10, he lived until 17! I have a 5 year old Great Pyrenees, a hedgehog and a Bearded Dragon. I love dogs (or any kind of pet), always have! My dog belongs to my family and I treat him like that. My 11 year old son calls our dog his brother. I would love to welcome your dogs(s) into my home so you don't have to worry about them! We will take care of your fur baby like it's our own.

About: Update 07/28/25: I am blessed to have a flexible job that will let me be fully remote during house sitting bookings if your dog(s) need someone home all day. During longer bookings I do periodically pop home to see my husband and own dog and on those days may be out of your home 1-2 hours. I am offering doggy drop in visits on Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I do not have any drop in visit availability on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. I can easily do drop in visits in between the 11-1 timeframe ideally and if your dog(s) need more than 1 per day, I have evening availability 4p-10:30p. Update 6/20/23: My goal is to keep my rates reasonable, as dog care and sitting is a passion and true love of mine. Ensuring your pets’ safety and wellbeing while you are unavailable should not cost outrageous fees. I have many years of experience on and off Rover, but due to a technical issue with Rover, I had to make a new page and lost my past reviews. I do hope you’ll book with me and help me get those re-established! I’ve had dogs in my house since I was a baby. I grew up with German Shepherds and shih tzus. In 2013 I started fostering dogs for a non profit no kill shelter and truly found my passion. I fostered 33 dogs before I finally foster failed myself! Fostering taught me how to care for dogs on medication, post surgical dogs, shy and fearful types, as well as senior citizens and special needs dogs. Most of my foster favorites were special needs including blind dogs and amputee dogs. I have experience with puppies of all ages and breeds. No breed preferences here. I welcome regular/ongoing clients. I will be available to spend most time at your residence if you book me for house sitting. Your baby or babies will be my first priority! I will be in your residence for the majority of your booking. I will follow your instructions on how to best care for your pet and follow their daily routine.

About: We love dogs in our house. We've had 3 dogs of different sizes at one time. I loved going for bike rides with my Husky and my Border Terrier. Now we have a small Border Terrier named Indy. I love training dogs to do tricks, and just cuddling up in bed or the couch. Your dog friend will be have a blast with us and get all the love. I particularly like large dogs and I don't mind them jumping on me when they're excited, they just think they're little in their heads. My kids, of course, like the little ones and are always ready to play and be gentle with the little guys. Your dog will be just one more family member to us. I work from home, and I can take frequent breaks for walks, playtime, potty breaks. I rarely spend more than a couple of hours out of the house if I do go out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets feel safe and cared for. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding, exercise, medications, and enrichment. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure the space is pet-proofed, monitored, and filled with love and positive attention. I believe in earning your pet’s trust through patience and consistency, and I always treat them like part of the family.

About: I have had plenty of pet care. From my own pets to friends and family’s. I have a love for any animal! I have looked after a wide range of dog breeds ! I am currently a full time student with a part time job. School is about to end so I have plenty of time for the pups! I keep a close eye on my furry friends. Noticing all the signs and needs. Cannot forget those belly rubs for those babies! You name it i will do it!
