“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 :)”


“Chasity is very reliable and keeps you informed about your pet while you are away. My dog Cooper just loves her and feels very comfortable around Chasity.”

“Sarah was wonderful with our kids! She kept us updated with photos and was always with them when we asked her to be. We would highly recommend her!”


“Ashley is awesome and my dog Bandit just loves her. She took great care of my apartment and Bandit while I was away on a business trip. Highly recommend Ashley for all your dog sitting needs.”


“Deborah has always been very helpful and was used to watch our animals previously. Upon seeing she was still caring for fur kids she was the first pick for us. We reached out to her as well as others very late in the evening believing the rover app likely sent them an email and we’d just get a response within a few days. Deborah was the first to respond and did so almost immediately after sending the request for her to watch our animals. By the following morning she was already chosen and booked by us. It was one less concern for when the day came for our own vacation. We have chosen to use her as a house sitter both times for our great dane(s) and cat. The first stay she watched two Great Danes one of which required extra care due to his age. Recently he passed she showed how much she cared about him and you could tell she honestly cares very much for the animals she has stayed with. Our female Dane has been taking some preventatives to ensure as she is aging that she is given every opportunity to live a healthy life with less risks of health issues. Deborah is always more than willing to help with any medications or preventatives while we are away. She also continued care for our cat which had been dumped out in our driveway that we decided to provide a home to. That cat also seems to enjoy the care she receives and Deborah also provides pictures and information while caring for them. If there are any questions or concerns she will reach out as a responsible house sitter should to ensure the pet is receiving any/all care as you would want/expect or do yourself has you been home and available. Will definitely book with Deborah again, our animals really enjoy their time with her and the attention she provides them.”


“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”


About: I have had and cared for pets my entire life. Highly experienced with dogs and cats from puppy/kittens to seniors. Experience in administering medication, even with cats. Patient with all animal personalities. I have cared for other animals small and large. I am very detail oriented and thorough. Reliable and great with instructions. I love animals and since semi-retiring I thought it would be nice to earn some money working with animals that have caring owners. I practice reward based motivation. Semi-retired with plenty of time to play with and care for your animals. Happy to care for in home or take for walks. I can do multiple drop-ins a day. I am very good with instructions and will abide by any house rules and needs required for your pet. Experience house and pet sitting prior to joining Rover.

“Niyah did a lovely job taking care of my cat, Baker, for the day. She was responsive and sent a bunch of photos. I’ll definitely be reaching out the next time I need a sitter again and anyone would be lucky to hire her to take care of their fur babies”


“Breanna is an amazing and wonderful sitter! She went above and beyond watching my pups and kept us updated. She will definitely be my go to sitter!”


“We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”
