“Hailey is beyond wonderful! She is SO communicative, so kind, and truly an animal lover. We were able to enjoy our vacation because we knew our dog was in wonderful hands when we were gone! We are so grateful for her and know Leo can’t wait to see her soon! Thank you, Hailey❤️”

“Came back from my trip and our Shiba seemed actually sad (in his way) that Kenya was leaving. We were noting how much he’s grown accustomed to having Kenya around. They definitely have a bond.”
“Kaia was absolutely fabulous. She treated our fur baby as if he was hers. She sent us tons of videos and pictures. Communication was wonderful and we felt very comfortable with her staying in our home. We will certainly be using Kaia in the future and would recommend her to others as well. ☺️”
“Marin was so amazing with our two girls. She was responsive and sent pictures daily. Our two golden-doodles are not old so no special care necessarily but they are very needy. When we got home the house looked perfect and most importantly our two girls were so happy. That tells me she did a good job because sometimes they will act a little mad at us for leaving them. We will def. ask her again if we need to leave Phoebe and Ellie. Thanks Marin you’re amazing!”

“Kiri is the absolute best dog/house sitter we have ever had! I loved her, my pups loved her, and she was in constant communication with me the entire time we were gone. The absolute best!!!”

“Elba is the absolute best pet sitter!!!! We went away for vacation and needed around the clock care. Elba was very thorough with the instructions and information we gave her. She took care of our animals as if they were her own. She gave updates every single day and sent the best pictures. Our animals were so happy and loved while we were away. And Elba even went above and beyond when we had a tree branch from a neighboring yard fall during a storm and damage our fence. She kept me notified and sent pictures. I would absolutely recommend Elba for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy person to care for your pets! We will most definitely be using Elba in the future to take care of our fur babies!!!!!!!”


“Lexus thank you so much for watching our pup gunner! We really appreciate all that you did. From the photos, to the sweet gift of a bandanna with a card . Along with the sweet paper that gave us all the updates we are very grateful! Truly recommend Lexus she was punctual, professional and just overall a 10.”

“Throughout my time away, Mya maintained excellent communication, providing regular updates and even sending adorable pictures and videos of my pup. It was incredibly reassuring to know that my pups were still not only well-cared for but also enjoying their time under the watchful eye of such a dedicated and responsible pet sitter.”

“Dwight did a great job taking care of my two corgis! It was super last minute at a hotel, I was going to be busy with other stuff. He came in clutch. He followed direction perfectly and updated me on everything ! Gave them lots of attention and walks too. Will definitely use him again if need be and I’m in the Orlando area.”

“Marie is the BEST! I am so thankful that I left my sweet, sometimes challenging, senior dog with Marie during my trip to Europe. Marie is confident with all kinds of medications and based on all of the photos she sent, my dog enjoyed was beyond loved and happy the whole time. Traveling with the comfort, knowing that my pup was taken care of meant everything to me. Thank you, Marie!!”

“Colleen did an amazing job caring for our 2 cats and house for almost 2 weeks! Also, she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip, which gave us peace of mind. We came home to happy cats and a spotless house. We will definitely be booking with Colleen again!”

“So glad we found Alison to sit for our dog while we were out of town! Our dog, Kona, can be shy with new people but she instantly adored Alison. At our meet and greet, Alison asked good questions and we felt we got to know her quickly. I knew Kona be in good hands while we were gone. During the trip, Alison provided daily updates with adorable pictures and was a great communicator. She was so thoughtful and sweet. We came back from vacation to a happy, healthy dog and a spotless home. Highly recommend! 💕”

“Gabrielle was wonderful! Our Dog Liberty had so much fun with her, she even got her to walk on her leash and walks without pulling, which we can never do, so not only did she do a great job walking and taking care of her, she was teaching/training her as well! We got tons of pics and videos and updates and she left our house nice and clean when she was done! We will definitely be using her again and trust her anytime with our pup!”

“We absolutely loved Izabella!! She took amazing care of our two big rescue dogs and went above and beyond with taking care of our house! We couldn't recommend her more and can't wait to leave town again knowing that our dogs will be well looked after!”

“Wonderful house sitter & took terrific care of our cat Oscar. Deborah leapt in to help us on short notice when another Rover sitter bailed the night before she was due to start. My wife and I highly recommend Deborah and would be happy to use her again.”


About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and I have 5 years of professional experience working in two dog kennels. Through my work, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, personalities, and energy levels while handling feeding, medications, potty breaks, cleaning, walks, and daily care routines. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping owners updated along the way. I treat every pet like they’re my own! I currently have open availability, which allows me to fully focus on your pet’s care and routine while you’re away. Because I do not have another job at the moment, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and consistency throughout the day. I’m flexible with scheduling and committed to making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times. I currently offer care in clients’ homes so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand how important trust is when inviting someone into your home, and I always strive to provide respectful, dependable, and attentive care. I do have pets at home, but they are well cared for by my parents while I’m away caring for clients’ pets, allowing me to fully focus on the animals in my care. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, communication, and making sure every pet feels loved and comfortable while their owners are away.
“1st time using a pet sitter. It was very last minute and my kitten ended up getting sick while I was away for 8 days. But Jennifer handled it all like a pro!! She consistently kept me updated with the status of my kittens, what she did for the day, and always made sure to send me pictures of my cuties. By the end of the trip she felt like a close friend that loved my kittens just as much as I do. BEST PET SITTER I can ask for. I will for sure be coming back to book her for my babies.”

“Makenna is the bomb! She not only made our two k-9 girls fall in love with her, she also changed the bed, cleaned the house and left us a wonderful unexpected surprise!!! She is also a classy dresser and a delightful person! Thank you Makenna, we will definitely ask you to stay again. Kathy and Michael”

“Marina did a terrific job taking care of my cat Goldie and housesitting while we were away. She patiently listened to all of my instructions and carried them out; She was gentle and made Goldie feel safe; She sent photos and texts every day; and the house was in the same condition as we left it. I trust Marina and will ask her to pet sit again.”

About: Hi! My name is Jack :) I have spent the past several years working as a veterinary technician, caring for animals in a professional medical setting. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior pets, and pets with medical needs. I love building trust with animals and helping them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets, so you can travel with confidence knowing they’re in good hands. 🐾 I strive to be flexible and accommodate your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet needs morning, afternoon, evening, or overnight care, I will work with you to ensure their feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment schedules are maintained. Consistency is important for both cats and dogs, and my goal is to keep their day-to-day routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I am happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that works best for them. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. As a veterinary technician with several years of experience, I am trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or distress and respond appropriately. I provide a calm, patient, and low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, and peace of mind knowing your pet is being cared for by an experienced animal care professional.
The Dovers pet parents share their Rover experiences
Elba is a fantastic pet sitter!!!!! She definitely treats your fur babies as her own and takes the best care of them! She has great communication and keeps you informed the whole time you are away. And she sends picture updates every day!!!! We look forward to continuing booking her to look after our fur babies!

Chloe was so sweet and great with the dogs! Lola is intense and crazy, Mia is skittish and flighty, but they warmed up to her quickly. I wasn't nervous leaving them, especially with all of the updates and pictures Chloe sent. I would absolutely have her watch them, again.
This was the longest I have been away from my pets and Isabella made it so easy with updates and pictures. When I got home they were relaxed and I could tell they were well cared for. She's anazing at communucating and following instructions and goes above and beyond doing things I didn't even think about. Isabella is a gem and I would recommend her without hesitation!

Kaia was wonderful with my pitbull Guillermo. He took to her immediately and loved his time with her. Guillermo can sometimes refuse to eat when he is upset and he had no issues with Kaia. She even made sure to put on his glowing collar for his walk after dark. Highly recommend and will be booking many overnight stays in my home with Kaia.

Kayla took amazing care of our babies and our house!! Her proactive communication and responsiveness made us feel so comfortable, which means we enjoyed our vacation even more because we had peace of mind that all was well back home - and that is priceless. She followed all directions for the dogs and the house, and when we got home the house was just as we left it and all packages were brought inside without being asked. We are so grateful!

Cohen was great! He took care of Dennis for 2.5 days. He was very response with messages and updates throughout the entire time. He sent photos of the visits for me to see Dennis having such a great time. I definitely recommend him and hope to use his services again in the future.
