“Chris was friendly and took good care of our pup and our house for 8 days! I would have her housesit again with the upfront request that ashe proactively share updates daily.”


“Diane was such a blessing. She has a really sweet and caring demeanor and we knew right away she was the right sitter to watch our fur babies. In our week long trip she took great care of our home and 2 dogs and kept in touch throughout our trip. We feel relieved to have found her and will definitely rebook with her. Thank you Diane!!”



“We’ve had April house-sit a few times and feel assured that our house and girls are well taken care of while we’re away. We also love getting updates and pictures that she sends us. I highly recommend April.”


“Cristian was AMAZING! I could not have had a better first experience on rover than with Cristian, hopefully if he’ll have us we WILL be booking him again! Constantly updated us and let us know what was going on with my girl 🐶 she seemed happy in every picture sent! Couldn’t be happier with the service, really went above and beyond”


“Omgosh...I haven't seen my pups happier with any one other than my husband & I; until Angelina came along. VERY conscientious, caring, neat, & clean. Left the house the same or better than when I left. Dogs were so well cared for. They were happy and relaxed when I got home, like I never left. Easy to communicate with as well. Very responsive and timely. I look forward to having her return to my pups as a later date.”



“I cannot recommend Annie enough! She stayed with my dog, Addie, for a week and was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we met, I trusted her completely—she’s incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and clearly loves what she does. Knowing Addie was in such great hands allowed me to fully enjoy my vacation without any worries. Annie provided excellent care, kept me updated, and made sure Addie was happy and comfortable the entire time. She also sent the cutest photos, which I loved getting since I missed my pup! I would love to work with her again in the future, and if you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter, Annie is the best choice! I can’t thank her enough!”



“Kat is an unbelievable pet and house sitter! Our senior dog has cancer and she provided the most compassionate care. Our house was cleaner than we left it! We are thankful to have found her.”


“Ola was a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. She was neat, orderly, and respectful of our place while we were gone. She did us a huge favor by staying with our pup over Memorial Day weekend. 10/10!”


“Jniyah has helped us out on multiple occasions - this time in a real pinch. Mochi always has a wonderful time and always looks forward to seeing Jniyah!”


“Xandi is lovely to work with, very comminicative and took great care of our pup Ollie. We felt very at ease during our trip and were able to relax knowing Ollie was in good hands. We will definitely work with Xandi again :)”


“Yuliia is an excellent dog sitter. She provided detailed updates and regularly sent pictures, which I really appreciated. Even though my dog tends to bark, Yuliia managed the situation calmly and kept up with his routine without any issues. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was well-fed and exercised. I highly recommend Yuliia—she’s truly the best dog sitter you could ask for.”


“Maggie was great! She kept us informed and our boys were well cared for and our house was clean and tidy!”


About: Animal lover and caring sitter. I have had A lifetime cat mother to adventurous, curious, scared, determined, misbehaving, chatty, quiet and ferocious felines. Kitten, puppy, elder, and medication experience. No stranger to cat nip and tennis balls. I am currently part-time and make my own schedule, so am available for your pet care needs. I also drive so it is easier for me to get to locations that are a bit father from me. I make sure to give the pet their own room when they are staying at my house. I limit interactions with my own pets, because I don't want to stress anyone out. I make sure to give pets in their homes the same exact comfort and care that they are allowed. I make sure to follow owners instructions, and keep them safe and calm.

“Holly was easy to work with; she was communicative and prompt and got along really well with our pets. We have both dogs and cats, and Holly took care of all of them at our house. We felt very comfortable leaving them in Holly's care, and we hope to be able to hire her again in the future.”


About: I've always had a love for dogs and have cared for my own dogs since I was 12. My friends and family have asked me to walk, play with, feed, or bathe their pets and I am always happy to help! During the week, I work from home three days out of the five and those days I am responsible for my pets at home and love being able to be home with them. At home I have a fenced in yard that is perfect for play dates. My two dogs are very friendly with other dogs and they are crate trained so they can be easily put away. I do not plan on bringing my dogs for the services that I provide because they have anxiety.

“Tara watched our dogs during our wedding weekend, and we couldn't be more thankful! One of our dogs needed emergency surgery a few days before the wedding, and Tara was able to help her through the post surgery period with close supervision and medications. We were so grateful to be able to continue with our wedding plans because we felt comfortable leaving the pups with Tara.”


“Athena was amazing! Our girls had so much fun & were very well taken care of. She also sent plenty of pictures and updates! We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!”


“Great ! Super sweet sends lots of update and really cared for zero !”


“Jessica was a life saver in accommodating my request at the last minute. She was even able to work with my surly Chihuahua and coax him into and out of his leash. I will definitely hire her again.”


About: From owning fish to hamsters to a puppy, animals have always been my support system. I have watched both dogs and cats, and before moving out of my home to pursue my career, lived with my family dog of 8 years. In my free time, I volunteer at foster shelters (like PAWS and NAWS), to help raise awareness of the importance of rescuing and adopting pets. My goal as a care taker is to make your pet feel as comfortable, safe and loved as possible so that when you get back, they don't even realize you were gone! Chat with me to see if I'm the right fit for you! I currently work M-Th full time and virtually on Fridays. My weekends are free. I’m available from Friday-Sunday for overnight and day time sitting. During the week (Monday-Thursday) I am free after 2pm to pet sit as well. I live in a spacious apartment complex that is pet friendly. Most of my neighbors have dogs, and cats amongst other pets too. While I may not have a yard my apartment complex has a dog park and walking trails, which makes for a great play/active area. I have no qualms or restrictions either with pets in my apartment and have no pets myself. My house is their house.
