“Dawn did a fantastic job. Dogs were very happy and she communicated very well (photos and videos) even though I was without access to check. Will DEFINITELY use her again.”
“Booking with Lily was such a wonderful experience from start to finish. She is truly one of the most professional and communicative people I’ve ever worked with. She’s incredibly intelligent, thoughtful, and genuinely caring — not just with the dogs, but in every aspect of the house sit. Both of my dogs are on a special diet, and she handled their feeding instructions perfectly. That level of attention to detail is absolutely essential for us, and she delivered with total reliability and care. What truly surprised me, though, was how beautifully she took care of our home. In the past, I’ve often come back from trips feeling overwhelmed because the house needed cleaning after a sit — especially with dogs tracking in dirt. This time, I walked in and felt like the house had been professionally cleaned. It was such a gift to return to a calm, spotless space. I would highly recommend Lily without hesitation. If she’s available when we travel again, I will absolutely be booking her.”
“I’m so grateful for the amazing care Garrett provided for my cat, Adele. He was attentive, responsible, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Adel was clearly very well taken care of and comfortable, and I could tell she received a lot of attention and care. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Courtney was fantastic with my GSD-mix, Raina! She was great at following my instructions to the letter while going above and beyond with providing updates and doing the little things for her. On top of that, Courtney is extremely respectful and well-mannered - she left my apartment looking spot less, and left the kindest note complimenting my pup (which means more than any compliment someone could give me). Thank you Courtney!”
“Britney was outstanding!! She was extremely communicative sent tons of pictures to us every day. Our cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but he felt comfortable with her right away. She also left our home very clean which was extremely appreciated too. Our home and furr babies were clearly well taken care of!”
“Jimmy was an excellent dog sitter reliable, caring, and great with my dogs. He kept me updated while I was away, and I came home to a happy, well cared for dog and house Highly recommend!”
“Kelly did an excellent job taking care of the dogs and my home while we were gone for a week. When we returned home the dogs had fallen in love with her also. I will never worry about leaving town again, she is an awesome sitter!”
“Jylesha was a solid puppy and house sitter! We hired Jylesha in a a time crunch and she was very accommodating with our last-minute booking. She communicated quickly and well, and she did exactly as we asked with the dogs. She was a great house guest and we would not hesitate to work with her again!”
“Stacey and Jeremy stayed with our dog while we were on vacation. Leaving your house and dog to someone else can be a bit stressful, but as soon as I met them my worries went away. While we were gone, they communicated through texts and pictures. This made us all feel better, as it is never easy leaving your dog. After we got home, I could tell my dog had been well cared for. They also took time to make sure our house was clean and ready for our arrival. Overall, we are lucky to have found Stacey and Jeremy. In fact, we have already booked them for our next vacation.”
“We had a great experience with Emma, and will definitely book her again. She spent a lot of time with our dogs, and we appreciated her updates and pictures. The pups definitely did not miss us one bit, and enjoyed long walks with Emma and lots of attention!”
“I have nothing but good things to say! We’ve used Taylor multiple times, and she took amazing care of our pets. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and cat, who all got lots of love and attention while we were away.”
“Our dogs seemed to really like Joan. She sent us pictures throughout the weekend and asked questions as needed. We appreciated her attentiveness to our pups. We will be happy to use her again.”
“Eliza is the epitome of the perfect sitter - both professional and loving - prompt and responsive and also the "sit on the floor with the dogs" type. We are happy we trusted her with our boys!”
About: Animals have been at the center of my life for as long as I can remember, and I wouldn't have it any other way! I spent 4 years working at a doggie daycare, where I gained hands-on experience managing dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I also regularly volunteer at my local animal shelter, walking dogs and socializing cats, so I'm comfortable with animals that need a little extra patience and TLC. At home, my family and I care for a zoo of a household: 3 dogs, 3 cats, a sun conure, and multiple fish. Pets aren't just a job for me, they're part of daily life, and I treat every animal in my care like one of my own. Whether your pet needs structured activity, gentle companionship, or just someone who just truly gets animals, I've got them covered. I'd love to meet your furry (or feathered!) family member! I currently work part time, which means pet care fits naturally and comfortably into my day. I have plenty of flexibility to give your pet the attention, routine, and one-on-one time they deserve ,never rushed, never an afterthought. I treat every home I enter with the same care and respect I'd want for my own. When I leave, everything is exactly as I found it, tidy, fresh, and mess-free. My goal is simple: you come home to a clean space and a happy, relaxed pet, with complete peace of mind that they were loved and well looked after while you were away.
“Ariel was the best! We have used several Rovers and she was hands down the best one we have had yet. She is welcome in our home and to care for our fur baby ANY time she will have us. We will absolutely use Ariel again!”
“Kira took amazing care of our 2 dogs :) You could tell they were both very well loved and taken care of while we were gone. She also left our house super tidy. We'd definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter! Thanks again Kira for taking care of our pups <3”

First time leaving my pup with anyone other than family and I couldn't have chosen better than Autumn. She definitely relieved my anxiety over leaving my anxious dog. Autumn took great care of Sheyna, worked on her anxiety while taking her on walks, and sent me updates and pictures twice a day. She also left the house so clean you could hardly tell she'd been here. Sheyna's made a new friend and I've found an amazing sitter for her.
Dawn was absolutely wonderful. She stayed at my house with my two dogs and cat and took amazing care of them. She sent videos and pictures of each of them throughout the day, was able to give all the medications, and took amazing care of my home. It was great to be able to just relax on my trip and not have to worry about my fur babies and home.
Highly recommend Helena! We have three cats, two of whom require medication for chronic illnesses, and Helena knows exactly how to get them to take their meds. She also gets my female cat to eat all her food, despite the fact that her appetite is waning due to kidney disease. We never worry about leaving our babies in Helena’s care — she’s a pro!
Kira is fantastic. She is super responsive & I trust her with my two big doodles! Kira watched my dogs for Memorial Day weekend and stayed at my house. She is responsible and trustworthy! Kira communicated her schedule for the weekend ahead of time and gave me a heads up so I’m aware of when she is at the house / needs to step out for other drop ins, which is so appreciated! She checked in everyday and gave me a summary of their day & provided photos. I didn’t think twice about the boys while on vacation, because I knew they were in good hands! Thank you so much!
Caroline took excellent care of our dogs and our home. At our meet and greet she was attentive and detailed. During the sit she communicated daily, followed care instructions, and treated our pups like her own. Home was left tidy and doggos very happy. We happily recommend Caroline and would book with her again.
Alison was great! She was so communicative with us. This was our first time leaving our baby with someone else and from the start she just had qualities that made me feel better about doing so. She asked all good questions, was super timely, and overall I was left without any concerns! Thank you Alison for taking such good care of our girl! Our pup is very young right now and can be quite a handful, but Alison seemed to have handled her very well. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.
Maya was truly the absolute best dog & house sitter! She took amazing care of our dog Layla and home. She was an excellent communicator, sent lots of photos and super sweet. I would trust her for any of your pet sitting needs and would love to hire her again in the future. Thanks for being so awesome!
