“We are so happy we found Hillary to come and stay with our dogs. She is warm, kind, and very reliable. She followed our rather detailed instructions to the letter and sent us daily updates with pictures. We felt 100% at ease while we were gone, knowing that our dogs and our home were in very capable hands. We came home to a clean and tidy house and relaxed, happy dogs. We will definitely contact Hillary for all of our future pet sitting needs.”
“This was my first time using Rover & it’s a great app to have. Denae sat for my 2 fur babies. I felt at ease knowing they were being cared for. The updates help, Danae sent photos daily to keep me updated on there well being. Very easy & smooth transaction. I need to get better at using this app so I will check back in soon as Danae is sitting for me again, & this time will be much longer. 😊”
“We love Angellee! She provides excellent care to our dogs and is flexible, thoughtful, pays attention to detail and follows all of our instructions. She is respectful of our home. She loves our dogs and they love her! Thank you, Angellee!”
About: Hello 👋 I’m Brittany — a professional pet sitter and dog walker originally from New York with a huge love for animals. I have veterinary assistant training, dog training assistant experience, and I’ve volunteered at numerous animal shelters throughout my life. Beyond my professional experience, I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up spending time on my grandparents’ horse farm in upstate New York, helping care for the horses and other animals. Over the years, I’ve personally owned and cared for a wide variety of pets, from dogs and cats to small animals, birds, reptiles, and farm animals. Dogs and horses have always held a special place in my heart. As a mom to a teenager and 5 fur babies of my own, I know pets are family. I treat every animal like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. 🐾 I have a flexible schedule during the week. I’m only unavailable from 7:30–9:00 AM and 2:30–4:00 PM on weekdays for my daughter’s school drop-off and pick-up. I come prepared for every visit with my own utility belt stocked with all-natural treats and waste bags, plus my own leash, ice-cold water, and a travel water bowl. I also bring a tennis ball for playtime, a brush for pups who enjoy it, and paw balm when needed. 🐾 You’ll usually see me arrive for visits by e-bike 🚲, but I use my car if weather conditions call for it. I’m also comfortable caring for large, strong, and high-energy dogs.
“Suzie was a great dog sitter! She watched Chipper for 2 nights and I felt very comfortable with the updates and pictures she sent!! Suzie was very nice and took great care of Chipper!! She also kept out place near and tidy. I definitely recommend Suzie and would book her again without question!”
“Loved having Laurie stay with our 3 Golden’s. They seemed happy, and she sent pics of them daily. I was able to enjoy myself, knowing they were in good hands. Would definitely use her again!”
“Cadence will always be the best sitter we’ve ever had for our cat, Miso! We would not hesitate to choose Cadence again & again to take care of our place and Miso. Thank you for being so sweet to our lil family!”
“Nick did a great job taking care of my dog and cats. He provided great communication and was reliable. I will be booking him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him to friends.”
About: I grew up with having dogs in my house. At one point we had two at once! I was expected to take care of them so I learned the foundations from my family. I am use to bigger dogs such as golden retrievers but I also enjoy more medium sized dogs as well. I have experience being trusted with caring for pets of my family, my friends, and strangers. I feel confident in my ability to watch dogs of any breed, and I am also confident of my ability to be a patient and caring cat caretaker. While I did not grow up with cats, I have had multiple experiences taking care and providing a loving environment for them. I am pretty go with the flow, flexible, and eager to hang out with your pets! I am a graduate student that will have classes during the evening, but I would love to fill my day with animals! I am willing to be flexible in providing care and I am looking forward to helping out! With my experience I understand that being a caring and attentive caregiver is important for pets. They are almost always unconditionally loving and I mirror that in my care. I am not afraid to ask questions on how to provide your pet the best care. I understand that every pet is unique and I want to ensure their comfort and safety. I am very communicative as well! I love to send updates and pics over text!
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“Cindy watched our dogs and house for a few nights while we were on vacation. Our dogs and home were very well cared for. I appreciate how communicative she is and will continue to use her. We appreciate her so much!”
“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”

“This was my second booking with Jose with this one being quite a bit longer at 6 nights. He did a wonderful job taking care of Riley and my place. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
About: I work/ have been working at a doggy daycare for over a year now, and I’ve been near dogs my whole life. I really enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the chance to spend time with your pup! I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of time to spend with your baby. We will have so much fun together! No matter what type of dog you have i promise we will have a great time 😁 I am a very active sitter, we will mostly spend the day playing with toys (until hes tired) then we’ll eat and watch a show, obviously taking potty breaks when needed.
“Skylar was awesome! We traveled from out of town and last minute decided we needed a dog sitter for a couple days in our hotel room. She was very accommodating. Her response time was always immediate and she sent updates as well as photos of our boy while she was with him. If we come back to California we absolutely will use Skylar again!”

This was our first time having someone do a house sitting, and we couldn’t be happier! Sofia was so great with the dogs, gave updates and left the house spotless. She went above and beyond offering to wash the bedding in the room she used. Thoroughly impressed, and would highly recommend!!
Rachelle was a life saver! We booked last minute and although we were scared of leaving our fur babies behind along with our house she definitely made us feel comfortable. She communicated with us and sent us pictures of our dogs. We also appreciated that she waited for us to come back from our trip, felt like the longest 4 days but we were completely happy with her service 🫶
Mae was absolutely wonderful with Felix. She treated him with so much care and affection, as if he were her own pet. They bonded very quickly, and it was clear that Felix truly enjoyed his time with her. She was also an excellent communicator, punctual, reliable, and very attentive to details. I felt completely comfortable leaving Felix in her care, and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and caring pet sitter.
Lynna was a wonderful dog sitter and houseguest. She communicated clearly, followed all directions, and went above and beyond in the care for our pup. There was never any doubt in our mind that our dog was well taken care of! We 100% recommend her and will be calling her back again.
Chloe has given the most amazing sitting service ever! My dog Bubba already misses her! She came fully prepared and handled the job with ease! She’s a professional and has a passion for these animals! Bubba wanted to leave with her at the end of the day! Anyone would be blessed to have Chloe as their sitter! Thank you so much Chloe, you deserve way more stars than just 5!
Nathan is fantastic! I could tell at our first conversation how much he loves animals and he could be trusted to care for my dog. And I was not wrong. He gave Ike the best care and took great care of the house too. He gave regular updates and sent pictures. Ike is so happy to see him. Nathan is more than a sitter, he is part of the family now. I can't think of anyone better to care for my boy when I travel. Thank you Nathan!
