“Kira was absolutely amazing. She stayed at the house to watch our kitties and pups - she sent updates regularly - we just felt so much at ease and were able to enjoy our time away knowing our little ones were getting the best of care and attention.”
“Katherine was wonderful! She stayed overnight to watch our two pups and took such great care of them. She was respectful of our home and communicated with us throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, our dogs loved her and were happy and well-cared for when we got home. We would absolutely book with Katherine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Jeffrey was so great at house sitting Gwen! He arrived on time, sent text updates, played with and fed our little fur baby, and made us feel at ease! Thanks, Jeffrey, I would recommend you to anyone!”

“David, we felt an immediate calm when we met you and saw you with Harry. Our snowboarding trip was a blast and we did not worry about our boy. We hope you will be willing for more stays…we want to snowboard more!”
“We were very happy with Samantha's overnight stay. Our dogs haven't accepted being alone very well since we were home so much with Covid. They really liked Samantha and they were relaxed and happy when we returned. Samantha took the time to do a long meet and greet and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. We will definitely ask her to pet sit again if she's available!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Seah! She was absolutely perfect - she took care of Ruby as if she were her own, was easy to communicate with, Responsive, and took excellent care of our home as well. She was an absolute treasure and I highly recommend her!”
“We were out of the country for 6 days and Bradley took care of our 2 rambunctious rescue dogs. Bradley is a great communicator, emailing us everyday with a summery do how the day went and pictures. The dogs took to him rather quickly as well. My husband is a super nervous dog parent and he was put at ease immediately.”
“I was delighted seeing my pet was the same happy content dog I left! Such a relief! This isn't always the case and is often my only indication of how things went. I was comfortable with London staying in our space which seems to suit my dog the most, and she did a great job coordinating care with the other sitter as needed as we were gone a while, we split the care. I would definitely call London again. Thanks! London!”
“Tierna is great! She was so flexible with our booking and was so responsive. She treated Brady like he was her own dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. We definitely will book again with Tierna.”
About: I have had cats since I was a baby and had chow chow dogs since I was 13 years old. I also worked at a kennel off and on for 12.5 years. I learned a little training but not a lot. I have worked with all different breeds of dogs. I love snuggling with cats as I grew up with having them in my household. I currently work full time however, full time is 30 hours for me so it allows me to have 3 to 4 days off towards the end of the week depending on the week. We have a large back yard with a dog run and as far as my cat. He is an indoor cat and gets spoiled indoors.
About: I grew up surrounded by animals. Five years ago I adopted two cats who I absolutely adore. I helped raise my roommate’s puppy and have walked/cared for dogs and cats at shelters. I have trusted Rover to find a perfect fit for my cats when I needed a sitter and I want to be that loving and reliable person for someone else now. I am currently taking some time off from my full time job so I will have plenty of time to take care of your pets at any time of the day! I am happy to tailor my services to the needs of your pet/s. While I do not provide services at my own home, I would love to help out at your home, which is, in my experience, more comfortable less stressful for the pets themselves.
“Mair did an excellent job taking care of my young, energetic pup. She was very good with him, getting on the floor to play with him during her pre-stay visit. She spent the agreed-on time at the house with him, and he was happy on my return! As a plus, the house also looked great when I returned. I would definitely hire Mair again!”
“I felt completely comfortable using Rachael as a first time Dogsitter for my fur babies. She was responsive, responsible, and gave me the perfect amount of updates during her stay. If she had any questions, she asked them which I appreciate! I would 100% recommend her, she’s definitely conscientious and trustworthy. Thanks, Rachael!”
“Mia took extra great care of our pups. She went above and beyond and precisely followed all of our detailed care instructions. Our dogs bonded with her instantly and she texted daily updates and pics. I would recommend her without any hesitation. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was 12 and have lots of experience caring for and walking dogs as well as watching cats, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it! I have fostered service dogs in training (so I have knowledge about training/commands) as well as rescue dogs. I am extremely passionate about animals and would be honored to watch your pet! I am in high school and work part time so animal care would have to be afternoons or weekends, unless in the summer, then I am free! I do not currently have any pets so no problem if your animal is not good with other animals! I do however have a crate if you would like them crated and a nice neighborhood for walks :)

Samantha L.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Samantha as a pet sitter. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for over 7 years and I can say with full confidence that she is one of the most responsible, trustworthy, and compassionate people I know. Samantha has cared for my own pet on multiple occasions and each time I returned home to a happy and well cared for animal and a clean, well managed home. She is attentive to details, great with instructions, and always goes the extra mile to make sure pets feel comfortable and loved in their owner's absence. Whether it's sticking to a strict feeding schedule, going on long walks, or just giving pets the attention and affection they need, Samantha does it all with genuine care. If you are looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Samantha is the one.”

We were out of the country for 6 days and Bradley took care of our 2 rambunctious rescue dogs. Bradley is a great communicator, emailing us everyday with a summery do how the day went and pictures. The dogs took to him rather quickly as well. My husband is a super nervous dog parent and he was put at ease immediately.
Amazing, fantastic, caring, detail, oriented, loving! I'm not sure that there's enough that I can say about how grateful I am for the fantastic care that she took of all of my animals. In fact, I think she did a better job than I would do. She sent pictures she sent walk routes she sent updates. She followed the routine. She followed the plan. All of my animals are very happy, very healthy and I think my dog already misses her. If you have a question about whether or not, you should hire her don't question it go ahead and meet her. She is invaluable and I'm so grateful for her.
