“Haley is a wonderful person and an excellent caretaker for our dogs! She is very prompt, thorough, helpful, understanding, and shows a lot of flexibility. We knew when we left for a week that our dogs would be well cared for and loved by her. Hands down we would 1000% book her again!”


“Could not be happier with Marideth's house-sitting! She took great care of both my mother's and my own cats while we were away. She also went the extra mile to make sure our trash was out and snow shoveled when the snow came! 10/10 would book her again!”


“Samara was great with my dog! Before booking she was willing to come meet Mika to make sure they were both comfortable with each other. While I was away she kept me updated with how she was doing as well as pictures of her. Thank you so much Samara !”

“We entrusted our beloved furry friend to Rave’s care for six nights while we were away on our summer vacation—and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Rave was incredibly easy to communicate with and kept us updated every day with thoughtful messages and adorable photos of our pup. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our buddy was not only well looked after but genuinely happy and comfortable. We truly appreciate the care and attention Rave provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!”


“Right from the start Veronica was willing to come out and meet our furbabes. She is great with communicating and checking to see if there is anything else than needs to happen before leaving. Furbabes warmed right up to her and didn't mind sharing the sleeping space. Would recommend Veronica for any overnight needs. Thank you again!!!! Will definitely be reaching out again if needing an overnight sitter.”

“Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!”


About: Pet and housesitting have been a part of my life for 10+ years now, including all different types of animals, all different breeds and personalities! I believe in creating a safe, fun, and stress-free environment where your pet can thrive while being committed to understanding each pet's unique personality and needs. My goal is to ensure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and happy while you're away, giving you complete peace of mind! You can be assured that your pet will always be treated like family. Hi there! I’m a newly graduated physician assistant working this summer as I wait to start my PA job. My schedule is quite open and flexible for your needs. Just let me know how I can help! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets and your home. I make sure that pets feel comfortable and safe while ensuring that their needs are met as requested by their owner. In your home, I always make sure all instructions are followed carefully, respect your space, and maintain a calm, familiar routine for their pets. I also keep owners updated regularly with pictures and messages to ensure peace of mind while they’re away along with being readily available for anything they may need!

About: I have had and taken care of dogs since a very young age. I have always taken pride to help care for dogs. Even with special abilities or medical problems. My dog Luna was Diagnosed with Epilepsy. So I am experienced and know what to do it high risk situations I work a full time job Monday through Friday from 8:30-5. I am free anytime after 5pm during the week. I am unable to do weekends or stay over nights. So if your looking for a 4-5 hour sitter. I'm your person! I will not be able to take your dog to my house. I can crate, walk, watch, or anything you would like me to do.

About: I have always had a dog as a pet and the dogs who have passed are still very much alive in my memories. They are an invaluable dispensary of love. I currently have 2 dogs of various ages that love attention and love their daily walks. Food, Snacks, Walks, Snuggles, what can be better? I have flexible hours and can work with your schedule. Contact me for details at anytime Boarding is always a great option. I am a school teacher during the year and am off in the summers. That currently means lots of attention and flexible outside time for your pets. :) I have a fenced yard with lots of space. My dogs love to run in the yard and play. I have big water bowls for the dogs to be able to stay hydrated and plenty of snacks available at the owners requests. I also have 3 different dog beds around the house that the dogs can lay in at their own convenience and comfort. During the school year I am a teacher. Until September I am taking time off to give my family and my dogs the extra time that they prefer. Currently our dogs go for about a 30-40 minute walk everyday. My son is 11 and is the main reason we had 4 dogs of our own at one time. He loves to spilling them with cuddles and run outside with them. I have a modest sized fenced in yard and currently two of my own lovable dogs. I always have dog food available and dog treats but am willing to follow any and all of the dog owners instructions. I also tend to use cleaning supplies that are non toxic, kid and pet friendly.

“Highly recommend!! I am always nervous leaving my 2 pups when I go out of town, but Munira made me feel absolutely comfortable. Her patience, kindness, and natural connection with my dogs made all the difference. She sent regular updates that made me smile, and I could tell Astrid and Rocco were relaxed and happy throughout the week. I truly can’t thank Munira enough for giving me peace of mind and my dogs a fantastic experience!”

Starin Central pet parents share their Rover experiences
Kara was an amazing sitter for our dog Mila. She always kept in touch sharing pictures of our Mila, took her for walks, let her out into the yard to enjoy the nice weather and played with her. They kept each other company and you can tell Kara really likes dogs and they really like her!

Kayla was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to leave our apartment in great shape! We were able to enjoy our travel without worrying about the care of our little cat - receiving daily pictures and confirmation of arrivals and departures. Kayla made the process super easy/simple, giving us so much peace of mind. :)

I cannot recommend Cora and Debbie enough! They stayed at our house to watch our two dogs for 2 nights. They were extremely attentive and patient with both dogs. Cora sent frequent updates and pictures to ease our minds. They administered medications for our dog and took them both on walks! Very happy with their services😊

Amy was great! So chill and easy going. Our German Shepherd and Shihtzu have occasional squabbles and it was so great knowing they were safety under Amy’s care. She stayed the night with them— didn’t mind them hogging her space or all the shep hair and she left our house like she wasn’t even staying here. Thank you, Amy!

Emma was incredibly polite and attentive with my two dogs and cat—she might even be a cat whisperer! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. I came home to a spotless house and, most importantly, very happy pets. Thank you so much, Emma!

Ann made herself to care for Enzo on very short notice. Even so, she stopped by to meet him ahead of time. She kept in regular communication with us. Despite being stung by a bee on the paw (which Ann made us aware of immediately), Enzo was in excellent spirits when we arrived home. He obviously was well loved in our absence.
