“Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”
“Michelle is the best! I have had her house & pet sit for me numerous times. She is always reliable and communicates quickly. It's nice that I can travel knowing that my Paisley is well taken care of!”
“Linda went above and beyond taking care of our pups while we were out of town for the night. We had a last minute schedule change due to an emergency and Linda was responsive and flexible. We have two fussy eaters and Linda was patient and tentative with frequent updates to ensure they both ate. We also loved all of the photos we received of our puppies happily snuggling while we were away! We would absolutely recommend Linda to anyone looking for an experienced and professional dog sitter!”
“Larissa went above and beyond our expectations. She was extremely professional, responsible and mostly provided quality, compassionate care to our baby Colden. Weimaraners can be a challenging breed but Larissa was up for the task. We had no worries while we were away as she kept us up to date on their activities. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda is excellent! She leaves such detailed notes and is such a good communicator. I can tell she cares for my pets and I can trust her to care for them the way I would.”
“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”
“Shantalee did such an amazing job for us, I would define recommend her to family and friends. She was very respectful, responsible and caring to our pup. Thanks Shantalee!”
About: I’ve cared for families pets (dogs and cats), whenever needed. This includes walks, over night stays, baths, feeding, medication distribution and potty breaks. I’m a recent kitten-mom, so I’m well-versed in this area. I’m a work from home employee (Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.), so I’d love to spend time with your pet(s) during and after these hours. I enjoy going for long walks after work as well, so why do it alone! I follow all rules set by the client and will pick up all messes throughout my visit (from their pet). If their pet has a certain amount of times needed to be let out (at certain times), I follow that plan. This goes for all other orders!
“Shannon is awesome! She looked after our 5 month old puppy and two cats while we were gone for a weekend. She took great care of them and sent picture updates which was really nice! She also left our house so clean and organized. Lovely! Looking forward to having her again for future trips.”
“Alyssa took good care of my dog upon a short notice while I was away, and sent photos regularly. The house was also spotless. She also coordinated dog food delivery since the food was out!”
“Christina had once again taken such good care of my muffin Iorek for 8 days! I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she brings when I have to go away!”
“Lashay sent lots of pictures and was great with a miscommunication (price was mislisted on rover for an overnight). We returned about an hour after the end time of our booking to a big doggy mess on the floor (our dog has been potty trained for years). Not sure what happened there, no communication about her having an upset tummy and she was normal when we left.”
“Ethan was great with our nervous Rottie and 3 kitties. Our Wiggley Boy absolutely loved hanging out with his new best friend and we hope to have him sit for us again in the near future! 😊”
“David was very punctual, made sure to check in on every walk and sent 4-5 photos every time. My dog felt very comfortable around him and seemed very content. Will definitely book with him again.”
About: I’ve taken care of my neighbor’s dogs for many years. I make sure to walk them every day with a balanced meal. I will bathe your dog if requested or as needed. I’m a recent college graduate so I’m available most of the week. I’m ready to devote myself to giving care to animals and I love spending time with them. I live in an apartment with my partner and our two cats so, I’ll only be able to provide services at the client’s house. I will take the dog on leash if there is no fence. I have worked in animal clinic in the kennel so I experience with crating dogs at night. I additionally love spending time with cats and will play with them. I like to meet cats where they are at and not push their boundaries.
About: I have 2 dogs at home back in Austin, one since late 2012, the other since early 2016. I've always gotten along well with dogs. I've found that most of them are very perceptive to who dog people are and they basically always recognize that in me. My dogs back in Austin helped me get through the day. Other than going to school at Hudson Valley Community College, there hopefully shouldn't be any scheduling conflicts. I try to make sure my dogs get enough attention, and usually we can count on each other for emotional support when they wouldn't prefer to spend time with the other members of my family.
“Katrina was awesome. She took great care of our 3 pugs and have them tons of love. She shared photos and was very communicative both before and during the trip. I appreciated her updates. Also the house looks like we next left, she left everything in great shape.”

Lauren is an amazing sitter! Excellent communication and very flexible when my plans changed slightly. As a fellow rover sitter, I highly recommend her!
I can't say enough about Katrina. I feel like I have gained a very special person in my life. I will never hesitate to "take that trip" again! I knew my boys would be in great hands the minute I met her and I was right. Amazing care and communication.
Ethan is always a joy and always comes in clutch when I need him. Yugi and him always have a good time and I can count on him to take care of my boy!
Nicole did a great job dog sitting our two pups while we were out of town. She communicated frequently and sent pictures. The dogs loved her and you could tell from the pictures they were comfortable with her. We would book with Nicole again in the future.
Lashay is such a sweetheart and was great with Ace! Provided us with routine updates with pictures. Very reliable! Will 100% book again!
Nicole was just excellent with our dog Josie. She handled Josie’s anxiety so well and did so much to make sure Josie had a good time! She kept us updated frequently, and asked all the right questions. We would not hesitate to book Nicole again!
Phelan was great and our pups were very happy when we returned! She kept us updated and sent lots of pictures and video. She took great time and care and we will be booking her again! Thank you for taking care of our babies!
Always a pleasure having Pheonix house-sit - they always take excellent care of all our fur babies. They are really communicative as needed, and our dogs and cats love them.
I love the care & attention Linda gives to our 2 dogs. She’s quick to respond and sends photos often.
Melody did a great job with the pups! She kept me posted and sent pictures throughout their time together.
Mckenzie took great care of our pitbull lab mix! She sent lots of pictures and updates and our dog seemed to be very comfortable with her. We would definitely have her dog sit again.
