1. Wendy M.
“Had a few extra things I needed Wendy to take care of this time, including a diet change and applying medicine into my dog's ear. Wendy jumped right in and took care of these needs (and cleaning out the ear is no easy task, let me tell you), and I felt at ease knowing everything was taken care of.”
2. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie has been great with our two big boys! She's watched them several times and they always are happy and well taken care of!”
3. Correy E.
“Correy did a terrific job looking after our pets and home. He sent us picture journals every couple of days so we could see our pet while we were gone. Much appreciated! Thank you Correy.”
4. Tasha H.
“Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)”
5. Jaime W.
“We had a tricky start due to some technical issues. But everything else was great! Our doggies were so much more relaxed when we got home than when we had to bring them to a dog sitter.”
6. Alexis G.
“Alexis was a great help. She was able to step in a week before our trip. She worked well with all three of our dogs. She was responsive with updates, and I appreciated her spending lots of time at the house so that the dogs got more social time with someone.”
7. Vivian T.
“The boys absolutely love having Vivian come to the home. They are very set in their ways and like the company of a gentle loving person! She provides that with extra love! I highly recommend her.”
8. Aubrey N.
“Aubrey is wonderful with Zero my 92 lb German Shepherd! She always arrives on time and did 2 meet and greets before to get to know him. She handles larger dogs with ease and is always aware of surroundings while walking him. Zero does not like many people. Zero warmed up to her in about 10 mins the first time, 2 mins the 2nd time and he was immediately her friend the next. This is unheard of with Zero. I am so thankful she was not intimidated and I could clearly tell the 1st time meeting her she loves dogs. She had the pack leader mentality which u need with Zero and won him over quickly. I will continue to use Aubrey she is trustworthy and dependable. She stayed at the house and treats my house as if her own. Having her watch Zero allows me to be gone without worry. I am so thankful I connected with her on Rover. She takes care of my dog just like her own. She is a top notch dog sitter!!”
9. Jaden H.
“Jaden stayed in our home for two weeks with short notice, and took fantastic care of our two very big dogs while we were on a trip. As soon as we met him, we felt completely at ease about leaving them in his care. He left our house in better condition than we did, followed all of our instructions and administered their medications and sent us a very comforting and detailed update. We also had a family emergency, and had to make some changes, and he was very flexible and responsive. We hope to book him again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
10. Mason G.
“Let me just say my dogs are so sad when we come back into town. They love Mason. He is responsible, dependable, honest and super sweet. He is the ultimate caretaker and even straightened up my house, brought in our UPS/FED EX packages and took care of our plants. One of my dogs is very high maintenance and requires a lot of TLC. Mason made sure he took his medicine and found a way to get him out of hiding in his kennel. He is very, very shy and doesn't trust anyone but he sure took a liking to Mason. I was worried that my dogs would be too much for a sitter to handle and I was relieved to have found someone that could take care of my dogs. Mason is the best!”
11. Haylee M.
“Halyee is amazing! She sent Pics and videos, treated my baby like her own! You cam tell she's really good with dogs. Overall great experience and Beni loved her too!”
12. Cassandra H.
“Love love love her! I have a main Maine coon who is special needs and requires a lot of extra care. She was super sweet and gentle with him, and listened to every detail about it care plan. She brushed him daily and didn't charge me any extra, I can't thank her enough!”
13. Katherine M.
“Katherine was such a great sitter to our Melvin 🥰 she kept him safe & happy & sent us lots of pictures. I think he will miss her. He has a lot of energy since he is only 1 1/2, so kudos to her for keeping up with him!”
14. Forum M.
“Forum was totally fantastic sitter for our three sometimes high maintenance dogs for 3 days while we were in Chicago. He was caring, detailed-oriented, kept us regularly updated with pictures, and was proactive problem-solver and communicator when issues arose! The dogs loved him right away. Would definitely recommend him and would ask him to dog sit anytime.”
15. Kendall J.
“Kendall loves animals and is a great caretaker. She goes above and beyond what is expected to make sure my pet well taken care of in my absence.”
16. Ella H.
About: With 17 years of experience in pet care, I bring a wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for animals. My experience spans across various stages of a pet's life, from training a new puppy over the last three months to providing specialized care for senior pets. This broad range of expertise allows me to cater to the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the best care possible. My proficiency in senior care means I understand the extra attention and gentleness older pets require, while my current experience with a puppy highlights my ability to handle high energy and training needs. My commitment to their well-being and personalized care sets me apart as a reliable and compassionate sitter for both dogs and cats. As a rising junior at Indiana University, I balance my academic responsibilities with my passion for pet care. My love for dogs is a significant part of my life, and I integrate pet sitting seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Whether it's early morning walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening training and cuddles, I ensure that every pet under my care receives the attention and affection they deserve. My experience with my own puppy and my deep understanding of pet needs make me a reliable and dedicated sitter who can provide consistent, loving care amidst my busy college schedule. Currently, I care for dogs at my home by providing a structured and nurturing environment. Each day starts with a morning walk to ensure they get plenty of exercise and stimulation. Throughout the day, I engage them in playtime and training sessions tailored to their individual needs, whether it's reinforcing good behavior in my puppy or offering gentle care for senior dogs. I maintain a consistent feeding schedule and ensure they have access to fresh water at all times. My home is set up to be pet-friendly, with comfortable spaces for them to rest and play safely. By creating a routine that balances physical activity, mental engagement, and relaxation, I ensure that every dog in my care feels happy, healthy, and loved.

19. Breanna K.
“Breanna is very good with animals. She gives them very loving care. I trust her with the safety of all my pets. She is very responsible and reliable! I highly recommend hiring her to care for your pets.”
20. Gary B.
“Gary house and pup sat for us last weekend for the first time. He did really great! He was loving with our 1.5 year old American bully and sent us multiple reassuring photos while away. He left the space as clean as it was when he arrived. Lastly he asked important questions and followed our house rules and instructions. We will definitely be recommending him to our friends and using his services again in the future.”
