Excellent sitter for my 8 year old and 2 1 year old Rottweiler puppies. Mya is a loving and compassionate person. She followed my special instructions to the tee and was especially great with my youngest puppy with epilepsy as one of the 7 dogs in her own household also has epilepsy. I couldn't have asked for a better person than Mya for my last minute booking while I had surgery. Will definitely use her repeatedly! Highly recommend.

This is the second time we’ve used Lulu. And we are so thankful she agreed and was available to look after our three pups. Lulu updated me on the dogs twice a day, took the dogs for a walk, played with them and followed all of the instructions I left for her. We are so lucky we have found her! I highly recommend.

Samantha came to my rescue after my original house sitter had a family emergency. She took wonderful care of my dog Eddy and my cat Lily. Both pets were relaxed and content when I returned home. I would definitely have Samantha sit with my pets again!

About: I love all animals. I’ve primarily had rescue cats & dogs and wish I could save them all. I’ve bottle fed abandoned kittens and rescued pregnant cats. I have experience with an abandoned, abused and anxious dog who needed patience and compassion on a daily basis. I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs from tiny chihuahua’s to large labradors & Dobermans. Each one with a personality all their own. I’m retired and I’m looking for a meaningful way to fill my days. I’m available most of the time, although I do love traveling when I can. I will follow every instruction you have in order to provide exceptional care for your pet in your home. My Rover reputation is based on you & your pets happiness!

We absolutely LOVED Lucas! Even Bobby Cat loved him and and Bobby doesn’t like anybody! This was the first time we have ever left our boys with a stranger. We did a meet and greet with Lucas several days before we left and our beasties all went crazy over him. I trust their instincts over anything. Lucas sent us pictures and messages daily. I felt comfortable and confident that the boys were in good hands, and able to relax and enjoy myself. The entire experience was great! Lucas will be our “go-to guy” for future travel!

Evelyn was such a relief, and I mean that deep in my soul. She came into our lives at a moment when I was stressed, pressed, and worn thin by a variety of external issues. Pippa, my 7-month-old kitten, had not only never stayed with anyone (or anywhere else), he'd also never spent significant time with anyone but me. But Evie was patient, kind, and accommodating for both of us -- and eased my mind incredibly because I was fully confident in the safe and conscientious care that Pippa would have while I was away. Evie sent wonderful photos, videos, and reports of Pippa's health and happiness every day -- even allowing for a significant time/internet access difference on my end. And, Pippa loved Evie (to an almost (but not quite) envy-inducing level). I returned to a healthy, happy, and well-played-with cat; a neat and well-cared-for house; and a calm mind. I could ask for nothing more.

She did a great job making sure he was taking care of and comfortable! Additionally, she communicated with me well and made sure to send me some pictures every day!

Rachel did an amazing job with our dogs. We were able to enjoy our vacation, knowing she was taking such good care of them. We got daily updates, with pictures. She gladly brought in mail and watered plants for us. She is very accommodating and fit us in to her schedule. She was able to pop in for 3 afternoons visits before her time here started when our son wasn’t able to get here during the day to let them out. We will definitely be calling her for future jobs! She’s a gem!!

About: I’m a responsible elementary teacher with a strong background in pet and home care, offering dependable Rover house and pet sitting services with excellent availability during the summer months. I’ve been dog sitting, cat sitting, and house sitting since I was 14 years old, giving me years of hands-on experience with animals of all ages and breeds. As a pet owner myself, I have cared for our family dog, a 10-year-old German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I bring the same level of responsibility, organization, and trustworthiness from my teaching career into every home and pet I care for, ensuring both pets and owners feel comfortable and confident. I am a elementary school teacher, so my summers are free! I have pretty open availibilty every day, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pet, take them for walks, and house sit. During the school year, I work 8am-4pm. I would be able to stop by after 4pm on week days, and open availibilty on weekends. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, clean, and structured environment where pets feel secure and cared for in their home. I closely follow all routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free. I’m attentive to behavior and health, ensuring pets are supervised, taken on walks, and never put in unsafe situations. As a responsible and dependable caregiver, I treat every home with respect and every pet like family. I also love sending photo updates for pet parents who enjoy regular check-ins, so you can feel confident, connected, and at ease while you’re away.

About: I’ve been known through my family and friends as a “dog whisperer”, and have had dogs in my care all my life! I’ve owned and taken care of my own senior dog for years, and am currently working with my new puppy. I have detailed experience with elderly dogs and dogs with medical needs. I can administer medications involving needles, and fulfill special food requests. Currently, I am a university student and I have a small part time job. However, I miss working with animals and my class schedule tends to be very flexible! In caring for a pet at your home, I treat it as if it was my own. I always emphasize to follow directions perfectly, and to treat your things with respect.

Erin was fantastic! We had severe storms while we were away and Erin was conscientious enough to watch the sump pump and take care of the patio furniture so it wouldn't get blown away too. We were grateful for that!! She took several amazing photos of our dog and communicated daily. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She has a very sweet personality too!!

He gave us periodic updates on how his week is going and send photos boys smile of the boys smiling. We would definitely recommend him to housesit and care for your pets while you’re on vacation or away and we will definitely use them in the future.

It was such a relief knowing Samantha was at our home caring for our dogs while we were away. She shared photos of the dogs that showed how happy they were, and she seemed to truly enjoy spending tune with them! When unexpected heavy rains hit, she made sure that ask us where towels were to clean off paws. She even mopped the house prior to leaving, going above and beyond our expectations! We definitely recommend Samantha for in-home care of your pets. We hope to book with her again in the future!

Hayley watched our 2 dogs for the first time and both dogs were so comfortable with her. One of our dogs is a rescue and doesn’t always go to strangers, but she immediately went to Hayley. She’s timely and we can tell she genuinely enjoys watching pets. I highly recommend Hayley, and we will be using her in future for our needs

Abbey was very kind to take care of our five cats. She followed my long list of directions and let me know if she came across issues or had questions. I do wish I could’ve gotten more pictures and there were a few things I had to clean up after we got home. However, the most important thing is we came home to cats that were happy and cared for while we were away.
