“This was my second booking with Brooke. Words cannot express how happy and satisfied we are with the love and care that she provides to our fur babies. They were relaxed and happy when we returned home from our trip. They have accepted Brooke has part of our family, so the transition for them when we go out of town is so easy for them. No more stressing for them when they see us taking suitcases downstairs because that means Brooke is coming! Brooke texted me every day sometimes twice a day to update me on them and sent me pictures nearly everyday. Highly recommend Brooke!”
“Rachael was amazing with my fur babies. It is so hard to find someone to trust but Rachael really made me feel at ease while on my trip, and my dogs made a new bff. We will definitely be booking with her again <3”
“Asal was fantastic with our pup Luke. We had a last minute cancel and she was quick to schedule a meet and greet to secure the house sitting. She sent us frequent updates and was super detail oriented. We appreciated her specific questions regarding our pups special needs and felt more than comfortable with her caring for our boy. We will definitely have her stay with Luke again!”
“Beth is awesome! We have a very nervous rescue dog and Beth is amazingly patient and caring. Beth is extremely professional and organized. She sends pictures while we’re away and keeps us up to date on how the dogs are doing.”
“I have been nervous for a while to use rover for my two kitties and Allison coming and staying at my house showed me why I did not need to be worried! Allison loved and cared for my cats so much! She gave them their daily medicines with food, worked with my automatic litter boxes, and most importantly played and loved on them so much! She was very very communicative and responsive and also sent me so many cute pictures! I always miss my cats so much when I’m gone so this helped me a lot! I also frequently asked how things were going and Allison was very responsive which helped reassure me! She also left my home neat and tidy how it was left for her which was nice to come home to! Allison rocks and I am so appreciative to have someone so kind and thoughtful taking care of my pets! It’s going to make leaving them to go out of town a little easier :) thank you so much Allison!!!!”
“Jenna stayed in our home, taking great care of Winnie the cat and following all instructions for feeding and care. She sent us pictures of a happy cat every day, allowing us to enjoy our time away without worry. She left everything clean and in good order at the end of her stay. Jenna was a caring and wonderful sitter for Winnie!”
About: As the former owner of Four Paws Pantry, I have cared for many furry friends throughout the past twenty years. I have cared for pets with disabilities, illnesses and daily medications needs. I have helped with vet visits, grooming visits and daycare drop-offs and pick-ups. I am available for daily visits for potty breaks, playtime, feedings, and medications. I am also available for overnight care of your furry friends in their home. Caring for your furry friend in their own home makes them less anxious when you are away. I am available for overnight stays so your furry friend doesn’t have to leave the safety and comfort of their home.
“Sierra took great care of my 15 year old dog for a long weekend. She was responsive, flexible and patient with my senior dog habits. I returned home to a relaxed and happy dog. Highly recommend her. Thanks!”
“Esther took really good care of my pups while I was traveling, kept me informed and sent lots of pictures. Also frequently took them for long walks. Highly recommend her.”
“Rosemary was incredibly easy to work with to schedule our meet and greet and travel dates. Our dogs and cats immediately took to her. Rosemary sent many pictures while we were away. All of our pets were happy and well cared for while we were away.”
“Vinnie did a great job with our anxious dog, Stax. She can sometimes be nervous with men and Vinnie went out of his way to do a meet and greet with her, as well as checking on all of her care instructions. He communicated well and we look forward to him taking care of Stax again soon.”
“Sanya is an amazing cat/house sitter! She braved terrible snow and ice conditions to stay with our Pretty, feed our birds, and salt our doorstep, and she sent us lots of pictures so we could see how happy and comfortable Pretty was (including one of a blissful Pretty after her evening brushing)! She cares for our cat like we do, and we are so grateful.”
“Allegra was amazing!! Probably the best dog sitter we've ever had. Very communicative, flexible, and on top of things (plus my dogs loved her). If you want to have a stress-free time, you should totally hire Allegra to watch your pets. I know that if I ever need a sitter in the future, she is going to be who I go to first.”
“Almendra was wonderful. Bernese Mountain dog- Wilbur- and Samoyed puppy-Charlotte loved her. She was communicative and asked thoughtful questions to ensure the pups were well taken care of!”
“Brianna is amazing! This was my first time using Rover as my kennel experiences haven’t been the best lately and knowing my boy is much happier at home I was so thankful I found Brianna! She has a great personality! Ace loves her and after getting home I can tell he was way more at ease than the past couple of times I left him in the care of others. She was punctual and sent updates and pics throughout her stay which is very comforting when you worry about your four legged baby as much as I do! She took care of our home and even left it a bit tidier than I did!! I have already booked her again and as much as I want to keep her all to myself she deserves a great review!”
“We would highly recommend Jewelee to anyone needing a pet sitter, or even just for drop-in visits. We rebooked Jewelee knowing what a great job she did the first time we had her pet sit for our dogs and cats. She made sure to check for any accidents in the house when she started, and kept our dogs busy. She also made sure that one of our cats who's been trying to get outside stayed safe inside the house. Jewelee monitored the pets food and water, and sent playful photos and videos of her stay. We were very happy with this re-booking to the point where we re-booked her for the following week!”
“Carlos was amazing! He kept me updated on my pups status and well-being on my trip and followed all my guidelines to the letter! Will definitely be utilizing his help again in the future. Thank you again Carlos! Sasha and Deku couldn't have been in better hands!”
“Julia is awesome! She did in-home pet-sitting for my dog and cat for a week while I was traveling. She clearly loves animals and has a lot of experience with them. My critters warmed up to her right away. I felt so much peace of mind that she was with them while I was away. Julia was understanding about my pets' quirks and behavior challenges and paid attention to all the details that come with caring for them. She is great about communication and sent me updates and pictures. I would/will absolutely work with Julia again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”

This was my first time booking with Melinda and she exceeded all our needs, especially when my dog had a bad day health wise. I took the longest vacation in my adult life and overseas as well, she gave me peace of mind I needed to enjoy my trip. 1000% would rebook and recommend her wholeheartedly.
Brooke is wonderful! I will always try to book her first when I need another Rover. This was the longest we have left our animals and we didn’t think twice about leaving them with Brooke. Although not part of the job, we were able to coordinate with Brooke to handle a leaking sprinkler system from Europe. You can’t go wrong with Brooke!
Hilary took such amazing care of both of our dogs over Memorial Day weekend. She went above and beyond in every way possible. Despite the rainy weather all weekend, she made sure they were walked frequently and well cared for, and it was obvious how much love and attention she gave them. She kept our house incredibly clean and tidy, sent frequent detailed updates and photos so we always knew how the dogs were doing, and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. On top of that, we had an unexpected freezer leak while she was staying at the house. Hilary immediately notified us, handled the situation herself, and cleaned up the mess without hesitation. She truly treated our home and dogs like they were her own. We came home to happy dogs and a house in even better shape than we left it. I cannot recommend Hilary enough and will absolutely use her again anytime she’s available!
Rebecca is literally the best! She took care of my baby when she wasn’t feeling well even got her some rice and took her to a park. I don’t trust a lot of people but I trust Rebecca so much with my fur baby as I have to rely a lot of others helping me out, so again thank you so much! She my top sitter !
Chelsea took amazing care of our two senior pups during our week long vacation. They are both picky eaters and she pulled out all the tricks to keep them fed while we were gone. She is super communicative and responsive. She understands how stressful it can be for pet parents to be away from their fur babies. We will continue to trust her with our dogs.
Rasha was an amazing sitter for our two dogs! One is a senior pup with major health concerns, and the other is a useful pup with lots of energy. She handled both dogs with extreme care and was so great at keeping us updated on how they were doing throughout this day. This really helped us feel comfortable being a way from our beloved pets. Highly recommend Rasha for your next pet stay!
Jessica and Connor took the best care of our babies who arent always the easiest to deal with! Especially being bigger dogs who need attention. They stayed with them for a week and we recieved daily pictures and feedback on how they were doing. They clearly are experienced dog people and we would trust them with our babies again!
Steven did a great job housesitting for our pets. He was responsive, communicative, sent pictures, asked questions, and stayed in touch with us. It was the first time we used him, and it was a last-minute request so we were more than grateful for his excellent service. We will definitely be working with him again.
