“Leaving an older dog with a stranger is hard. needless to say Mark made this step easy, he meet jack, was there when he said. send pics daily and had great commutation with us. we defiantly recommend Rover and Mark to anyone needing a sitter. and will use again.”

“Evie stayed at our home, over the long holiday weekend, to watch our two large Labradors. She provided excellent care, and played with them often in our backyard. Evie was a wonderful house guest! You couldn’t even tell she had been staying there. She provided great communication which was a huge plus, so we didn’t have to worry about our fur babies. We look forward to using Evie for our next trip away!”

“Samantha did great with my two girls. Friendly and good to them. Kept in contact with me everyday and gave me great feedback. She was professional and loving to my girls. That’s all I can ask for. I will be using her again.”

“Grace was wonderful with my very high energy dog! Despite it being super cold outside, she was able to exercise him well. I came home to a happy, tired pup that slept all night. She was incredibly kind and flexible, and I’d absolutely book her again!”

“Jennifer is fantastic at her job as a pet sitter and in my opinion went above and beyond what was asked of her. She never let me down on daily updates with photos of my fur kids. We had an awful experience with the first ever sitter through friends of family. But with Jennifer's picture updates and quirky observations of my goofballs, I have never felt so comfortable as I did with her. We will be furever loyal and she's our #1 gal”

“Dawn always helps us when we travel. Our dog adores her. The house is always in order after she’s been there. She’s easy to communicate with, responds quickly, and comes to the rescue even if my trip lasts an extra unplanned day. The best sitter for our dog. I always feel at ease when she’s with Dawn.”


“My 2 senior dogs loved Maggie and Travis! We are grateful to have such a nice couple close to our home. They also responded quickly after my first inquiry on Rover and showed up short notice the next day. Very happy for our connection and will use them often.”

“Kim was great! She went above and beyond any expectations I had for hiring a dog sitter. Communication was amazing while we were out of town. Next time I need a dog sitter”
About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and spending time with pets is something I genuinely enjoy. I know every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet loves lots of playtime, extra cuddles, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I’ll provide attentive care and plenty of affection. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and to treat your pets as if they were my own. I work part time as a dog bather, so I will primarily have early morning, evening and weekend availability! This will allow plenty of time to care for your babies When you’re away, I strive to make sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for as if you never left. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a quick drop-in visit, or overnight house sitting, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs. From energetic pups who love playtime to shy cats who prefer a calm companion, I adjust my care to help every pet feel safe and happy. During visits, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any special care they may need. You’ll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands. My goal is simple: provide dependable care, build trust with your pet, and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Jess was an AWESOME day sitter. Communication was top notch, and they provided us with lots of pictures and videos. We knew our pup was safe and well loved all day. Will be booking again!”


About: Hi! I’m Lily, and caring for animals is genuinely one of my favorite things in life. I’ve had pets my whole life and have also worked at a doggy daycare, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I own dogs myself—they’re very docile and love having friends—so I understand how important it is to find someone you fully trust with your pets. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious pups and dogs with special needs. One of my dogs is deaf and responds to sign, so I’m especially patient, attentive, and tuned in to nonverbal communication. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime, structured walks, or just a calm and comforting presence, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them like they’re my own—lots of love, attention, and updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely excited to meet your pets. I can’t wait to give them the care they deserve! My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide consistent care throughout the day. I currently work full-time, but I’m in the process of transitioning roles, which gives me increasing availability. My partner is home by 2:30 PM every day, and we’re both home in the evenings, so your pet will have plenty of supervision, attention, and company. We make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and always prioritize their comfort and routine. I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific schedule and needs—just let me know what works best for them! Your pet’s safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced-in backyard with turf, providing a clean and secure space for safe outdoor play and bathroom breaks. Inside, our home is pet-proofed to prevent access to anything unsafe, and we always supervise interactions to ensure a calm and controlled environment. I’m attentive to each dog’s behavior and needs, and I take introductions slowly to make sure everyone feels comfortable. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, secure, and well-managed environment at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of animals almost all my life. From helping neighbors as a child feed and love on their cats to taking in my own cats and dogs and raising and loving them. I have 4 wonderful cats and a spunky fun loving 2 year old golden retriever that are adored by myself and family. I work full time but have time in the morning, an hour at lunch time, and full evenings for feedings, walking, play time, cat litter clean up etc. I have a fully fenced good size yard with a friendly golden retriever to keep you dog(s) company for pet stays in my home. If I will be in your home I will make sure during a meet and greet what your expectations are for your animals prior to my stay.
“Jess made our trip out of state possible. We were gone for 8 days, 7 nights. The longest we have stayed away from our three dogs and one senior cat. We have one dog on medications, and she handled that with no problems. Having them comfortable in their own home instead of crating elsewhere was the only way we could have left them. And I know it made them feel at ease when she stayed. That truly made a world of difference. We're so thankful to have found a person who cares for them like we do. We came back to happy fur babies and a clean home. Great feeling, great experience. Definitely recommended Jess, as pet parent who has booked twice now and will book again!”

“Claire was AMAZING. She sent me constant updates and pictures, paid close attention to my dog’s health, and she did so many activities with my dog. He is very high energy and she was able to tire him out multiple days in a row and that’s pretty awesome. I can tell my dog really loves her. This was my longest trip away and my dog was more than well taken care of, thank you!!!”

Southwyck pet parents share their Rover experiences
Mark did a great job giving our pups lots of cuddles while we were gone, and even comforting them during a storm. He followed all of our instructions and the house was as clean as well left it. When we got home, one of our dogs was looking around for Mark, that says a lot.

Krystal was amazing with our pup! Very professional, easy to communicate with, dependable and arriving on time. Really took the effort to get to know our pups routine and follow it as closely as possible. She made us feel at ease leaving our “fur baby” with her. Definitely recommend and will be using for future trips.

Jennifer was wonderful! She kept us updated each day with a description of their activities and pics and videos. During our ‘ meet and greet’ she had a regular checklist that she went over with us to make sure she understood our pup, his needs and his environment. I appreciate her kindness and care.
