Ryenne was fantastic with my brood. I was a little nervous going into the sit since we had only had time to do a video call intro, but she more than exceeded my expectations and I had one of the most relaxing weekends away in years. truly. I didn’t have to worry about a thing plus…she washed the sheets so I didn’t come home to a pile of laundry. But the main thing is that my beasts were super well-cared for and happy. Thank you!!!!

Great communication, left the house spotless, and sent pictures every day. We will definitely contact her again for any future needs.

She sent plenty of pictures, kept us updated throughout the stay, left the house clean and most importantly took good care of our dogs! We will definitely be booking Lisa for stays in the future.

Jade is pretty awesome. We were so relieved to find her here on Rover! She is obviously experienced at dealing with, training and calming dogs. We have a dog who is anxious, reactive and a “handful”, he even needs sedating before he goes to the vet??. She stayed at our place with our dog. The house was as we left it, dog was confidently and carefully looked after and she accommodated our unique situation very calmly. She was consistent in her communications with us, sent awesome photos and caught up with us each day we were away. We have already booked her again.

Mollie was wonderful with my two rowdy and rambunctious Rhodesian Ridgebacks. She communicated daily and problem solved issues that came up. She treated my home with respect and everything was in order when I returned from my trip. My dogs were happy and tired, a testament to her care. Will happily use her services in the future!

About: Heya! 👋☺️ I’m a passionate and reliable dog sitter with over three years of professional experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities: from house horses to tiny teacups, from wild raptor puppies to dignified elderly canines. In my experience managing a multi-acre doggy hotel that housed as many as 50 simultaneous furry guests in a day, I have met all sorts of doggos—including those who require special and attentive care. I am a repeat foster caregiver for Wet Noses Foster Paws, and have happily housed pups in need of their forever home. While dogs are my expertise, I also have personal experience in raising and caring for Cats & Mice as pets. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just some extra love and attention. I treat every pet like my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Can’t wait to meet you & your fur baby 😇🫶 M: 2 pm - 10pm, available for overnights T: 6 am - 10pm, available for overnights W: 6 am - 10pm, available for overnights T: 6 am - 10pm, available for overnights F: 6am - 12 pm S: Unavailable S: Unavailable Currently working full-time at a pet hotel and play place, and I’m hoping to make it on my own doing freelance pet care. I am eager to win the trust of my own repeat clients, just as I have done with those I’ve had the privilege to meet with my current company. I will happily make the time to care for your fur babies during my off hours :) HOUSESITTING CLIENTS: My house sitting rate is set for an overnight stay, e.g. 7pm-10pm. Should you require me to stay for 24 hours, please inform me so we can negotiate accordingly. Having experience with the variety of different needs of many dogs, I am very aware of how one dog may have one set of needs that differ greatly from another. I treat each dog as their own and am attentive to the details that make your pet uniquely themselves. Whether that means a complex and time sensitive schedule of medication, or habits that are still in the early stages of training and still need reinforcement—you just need to name it, & I’ll carefully abide. I will also be mindful to maintain a safe & secure home. I am respectful of the homes in which I am invited. For overnights, will bring my own groceries and toiletries. In the case that I am watching your dog for a full 24 hours, I will also do basic housekeeping.

Jamal and Briana watched Ellie while we were out of the country for 6 nights. We were able to relax and not worry about Ellie, because they always take such great care of her! We also love how flexible they are and willing to do drop-ins anytime for Ellie when we need it. Very reliable, great Rover Sitters!

Khaytlen was absolutely amazing while staying at my home to take care of my 2 GSDs. She treated both my pups and my house with the utmost care and respect. I received regular updates and photos, and it was clear that Holly and Kane were happy, super active with long walks, and well loved the entire time. The house was spotless when I returned, and my dogs barely seemed to notice I’d been gone — the best sign of all! I couldn’t have asked for a more reliable, thoughtful, and kind sitter. I’ll definitely be booking Khaytlen again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted in-home dog sitter! 🐾

About: I grew up in a house full of fosters and rescues so I was exposed to a variety of ages, sizes, and breeds from a young age. I have been responsible for the care of pit bulls, chihuahuas, and everything in between. That includes elderly dogs with impaired vision and puppies with loads of energy. I love them all equally! I have also been a trusted and reliable pet sitter for friends and family for over a decade now. I’m sure whatever your needs are that I can fulfill them! I am available Mondays and Tuesdays in the morning and afternoon or the evenings most other days for dog walks or drop-ins. I am also available to housesit in the home, but I am unable to board pets at this time. I am always respectful of pet homes and will be happy to honor any pet parent requests. You can also trust that I will be patient and compassionate with your furry loved ones. Their safety is my priority!

Sophia was very attentive to our little kitten. He is a ball of energy and as a single kitten, we worry about him being stressed or lonely while we are away. After a poor experience with a previous sitter, I wanted to find someone who understands cats and who would make him feel comfortable. Sophia did just that! I will definitely be looking to her for future kitty sitting :)

Megan was fantastic when she boarded my Corgi Molly in December 2025! My travel dates were up in the air both going and coming and Megan was willing to work with me every step of the way. I was so thankful for that! I was very nervous about leaving Molly because my mom always watched her when I traveled, but Megan sent me pictures of Molly cuddling with her and her son which was a big relief. I feel confident that Molly was well cared for because she was happy to see me, but she exhibited no signs of anxiety or stress which she has been treated for in the past. I will definitely ask Megan to watch Molly when I travel in the future!!

Tesha was a great choice to watch our two dogs while we were away in Europe on our honeymoon. She house sat for us for 2.5 weeks and it was great not having to worry about anything. Tesha was great from the start getting to know us and our dogs, putting us at ease that she would be able to handle them. We have one large lab/german shepherd and one medium hound mix who each have different needs and she cared well for each. She was also respectful of our home and left it clean and tidy for us on our return, making sure to clean up after herself. We would absolutely rebook her next time we need to travel! Thanks Tesha!

My original dog sitter got sick and canceled on me last minute morning of. Brendan responded quickly, we worked out a plan, and he was able to save the day. Most of the time my Doberman takes a little bit to warm up to new people, but he was asking Brendan for pets after 5 min of introduction. He did a great job, exercised them, and followed the instructions for raw food + Bodhi’s meds. Definitely recommend!
