1. Lulu M.

“Lulu was an amazing housesitter for our two kitties. The level of care and attention she provided far exceeded our expectations. We received regular updates and pics of our fur babies which really helped with our anxiety of leaving them behind. She is a very kind and caring person and our kitties just loved having her stay with them. I would highly recommend Lulu and I am so grateful we found her to help care for our kitties when we must be gone!!”

“Absolutely the best! Katie was very understanding, patient and sweet with our dog despite the dog being timid. Took great care of my pup and home while I was gone! Would recommend Katie to anyone looking for a dog sitter ?”


4. Adrienne D.
“Adrienne is a lovely human being! She has loved and cared for our goldendoodle many times over. I always know our girl is safe, fed and likely getting the most pets of her entire life when she is with Adrienne. I cannot recommend her enough!”

“Lauren made our first time using Rover a great experience. Our dog was very comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be asking her to stay with our dog again.”

“Samantha was a joy to work with. Very friendly and great with our animals. We will definitely be using her again as we felt so comfortable while we’re away.”


8. Anastasia W.

“She worked wonderfully with our brand new puppy and was more than happy to work around our schedules. Our puppy adores her and we could tell he had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is a fantastic listener when it comes to any house rules you may have, and really tries to get to know the dog and the people. I highly recommend her for your next booking, you will not be disappointed!”


9. Hannah Y.

“Hannah responded quickly, and made last minute arrangements for watching my fur babies. She was kind and caring, administered medications, and spoiled my babies with love and affection. She also sent pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter and overall nice young lady.”

“All three of my boys absolutely love their Uncle Oz! Oz watched our dogs while we were gone for almost a week. They have separation anxiety (and so do I), and Oz made sure to send pictures and videos every day to keep us from worrying about them. My boys were so happy with him!”


15. Andrew A. K.

17. Megan E.

“Another great stay our babies had with Megan. She is the best! We would be reluctant to travel if we didn’t have her. She takes such good care of our dogs and home. Thank you Megan!”


18. Kylie F.
About: If you’re anything like me, your fur babies are some of the most important things to you. Leaving them behind is hard, and trusting a stranger to take care of them is even harder. Your pet is your baby — which is why I aim to provide them with the same level of care that you give them! I am an experienced dog owner, trainer, walker, and sitter with over 6 years of experience. Some of my special skills include administering oral medications via pill or syringe, adapting to various temperaments from wary senior dogs to energetic puppies, attuning to body language, and providing first aid if needed. One of my own dogs struggles with severe separation anxiety, so I have a wealth of experience with giving daily oral medication, lowering distress levels, and compassionately discouraging resulting destructive behaviors. I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m a night owl, so I am happy to provide late night or last minute care when able. At this time, I am unavailable for constant-care visits. Most of all, I aim to always communicate clearly and consistently, and be reliable. When able, I prioritize meet-and-greets with you and your pet before services begin so that we can establish a relationship and work together to set expectations. I’m comfortable with kenneling, am always vigilantly monitoring to ensure safety, and I value giving your pet adequate attention when around. Even if your routine is unorthodox, I am open and willing to try it! Not to mention, I find it important to ensure tidiness and maintain organization by putting things back where they belong.


19. Miranda G.
“Miranda has been helping take care of animals since she was a toddler. She's good with all animals, reliable and trustworthy. Miranda has worked behind the scenes at veterinary hospitals through an internship in high school and a childhood of helping out at her moms work. Miranda has been trusted to care for the pets of teachers and district administrators while in high school. Miranda's life has always been about animals and she treats them all as lovingly as she treats her own at home.”


20. maddison s.
“Maddison is basically an animal whisperer. She has so much knowledge caring for different animals and she has been amazing with both my dog and cats - they all love her. I've had her drop in to cat sit while I was away on a trip and Maddison did a phenomenal job! I have a pretty bad fish allergy, because of that I have a separate spoons and sponges I use when I feed my cats wet food, which often contain fish ingredients. She was extra careful to keep my cat supplies away from human supplies to avoid cross contamination and made sure to follow my instructions just as I provided them. I would absolutely recommend Maddison to anyone considering a pet caregiver. She will definitely love your fur babies like they are her own!”
