“Bethany was wonderful for our first time working with her! She was a great communicator and sent lots of photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. She did everything we asked and we came home to a clean house and happy pets. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands :)”

“Katie was great taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She showed up when she said she would, spent some quality time with him, and sent plenty of pictures and status updates. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”

“Alyssa was great with Zuzu! I needed someone last minute and she was able to help in a pinch. Zuzu also does not do the best with strangers, but took to her so well. Thank you so much.”

“Courtney helped us at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel and we were so impressed. She needed minimal direction and took great care of our two dogs. She was very attentive and kept us updated the whole time we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!”


“Levi was great! My dog, Bella seemed to warm up to him immediately during our meet and greet which helped ease my anxiety as I was leaving the country for 10 days! He was great with communication and I will definitely use Levi again!”

About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“We couldn’t be happier with the amazing care Celeste provided for Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup! She went above and beyond in every way. Throughout the weekend, she kept us updated with photos and messages, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. Celeste was professional, attentive, and clearly treated our pets as if they were her own. Jack, Tekken, and Princess Buttercup absolutely loved her, and we could tell they were comfortable and well loved the entire time. We highly recommend Celeste to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and top-notch pet sitter. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Lux was an amazing house and pet sitter for us!!! He sent photos and updates every day and knowing he was in our home put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our vacation. We will definitely ask him to stay here again in the future.”


“We are so grateful to have found Claire on Rover! She was a life saver when we needed to travel out of town and Luca needed someone to care for him after getting staples and needing antibiotics. Claire was wonderful and Luca loved her! We can’t wait to use her again!”

“We had an incredible experience. When our flight was delayed, she actually came back to our house to take care of our pups again, no hesitation, no stress, just genuine kindness and reliability. She made sure the dogs were comfortable and cared for, and even handled a few house tasks along the way. Walking back into a calm home after a long travel day felt like a gift. Our pups loved her, and so did we. We’d book her again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! 🐾”

About: ER vet nurse for 10+ years! Animal behavior specialist, comfortable giving oral medications, and wearing our pet friends out. Expert in pet cuddles and belly rubs. :) Save pets during the day, but always available for walks, drop-ins, feedings, medications, and overall play time. Your pet will always be taken care of. :) Do my best to keep pets distracted with activities or playtime while you’re gone, getting their energy and zoomies out so they sleep well while you’re gone.
“Suzanne was great with my new puppy. She arrived on time and was here from 6 am - 4:00. She sent text and photos of my 13 week old puppy. She walked and played all day”

“Lauren was the best dog sitter! She kept me updated throughout the week , took great care of my Coco and they had a great time together. Walked him 3 times a day and played with him all day as well as cuddles! She has a lot of experience with pets and I highly recommend her , she also stayed at my place and took great care of it. Thank you from me and Coco🫶🏻”

“Serenity was wonderful. So communicative and there for my animals around the clock. I had a friend drop out at the last minute and was unable to take care of our animals but serenity was ready to take care of them the second I reached out. She has done a great job of taking care of my dog pets needs and making me feel secure in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would love to use her services in the future!”

“Megan was fantastic! She loved and cared for not only our pets, but also our home. The photos Megan sent showed that the dogs were happy, and enjoying her company. We will definitely be rebooking Megan!”

About: I have walked, fed, played-with, dog-sat, and loved many friends’ and neighbors’ dogs for many many years! I lived with a dog who I helped care for since she was 5 months old, so I have some puppy experience. I look forward to meeting your furry friends! I currently work a part time job for which I work 9-5 Tuesday-Thursday and 9-2 on Fridays. My schedule is flexible and can sometimes work from home. I am available to walk dogs and do drop ins any time I’m not working, and I am willing to house sit whenever as long as your okay with your pet being home alone for a few hours at a time. I’m great at following directions and am adaptable so I will be able to carry out any instructions you have for me while getting fun and creative with animal care! I love getting outside for long walks, so I will definitely get your dog some exercise :)
About: Have experience with special needs animals. Including breathing issues and asthma. Comfortable with giving medication. Comfortable with big, small, cats and dogs. Let's get started! I work a hybrid schedule and have my availability set to be available during mornings and evenings. Weekends are open. Open to discussion if needed. Having a special needs animal I keep the house very clean and use air filters. Regularly wash and clean bowls also use water filters for animals.

Courtney helped us at the last minute when we had another sitter cancel and we were so impressed. She needed minimal direction and took great care of our two dogs. She was very attentive and kept us updated the whole time we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!!

Beth was amazing! Showed up with super short notice and was extremely professional. She was kind and Moses loved her immediately, you could tell that she loves dogs and they love her back. She even walked him twice in a 3 hour dog sit. Highly recommend!

Austin took great care of our dog, Zeke, while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Zeke was in good hands, and we came back to a happy pup and a clean, well-kept house. We would absolutely trust him again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a pet/house sitter!

I just can't say enough good things about Kathleen. We have a rescue Terrier mix named Theo who is nervous around new people and I was apprehensive to leave him with a dog sitter while we were out of town. I shouldn't have worried. Kathleen was fantastic! She took things Theo's pace and they soon became friends, which is a big deal for Theo. Kathleen is communicative, professional, reliable and will be our first choice when looking for a sitter for Theo in the future.

Can't recommend Lauren enough. She was amazing with our elderly anxious dogs (and us!). We booked her while on a trip out of town & we wished we lived closer because we would definitely be repeat customers. She kept us updated & took wonderful care of our dogs. She has a lot of experience & knowledge.

Olivia did a great job taking care of my cats! The litter box was cleaned regularly and she carefully followed my instructions. I liked that she was able to give regular update with pics whenever I started to miss my cats. The house was also left impeccably clean!
