Took great care of my pup while we were gone for a little weekend getaway! She stayed for a while each time and loved on him! We are super grateful.

Rachel was very accommodating when my flights were delayed and then cancelled. My dog enjoys his time with her along with my cat who is slow to warm up to others. It’s nice to have a pet sitter you can trust! Will continue to book.

Freya was excellent with our spoiled dogs. Older boxer needs help getting up and down steps to go out, our middle aged german shepherd needs exercise daily by ball throwing in the back yard…they were raised on acrerage, not very socialized and we now live in town near a busy street so always fear they’ll take off chasing someone… (cuz they’re not leash dogs). The boys immediately liked her which sealed the deal when they met. She left our house perfect and we highly recommend her for your beloved pets.

We had Jakob and Ida dog/housesit for a few days and was pleased with their service. Jakob kept me informed and as promised dogs were tired from their walk when we got home. Plan to continue to use them for dog walking as well as house sitting services.

About: Hi, I'm Audrey! I've been pet sitting for several years, and I love animals, especially dogs. In the summer I work as a Girl Scout camp counselor, so I definitely have experience wrangling large groups of small chaotic mammals! I have babysat everything from puppies to senior dogs, in all shapes and sizes, and even other animals like guinea pigs. I would love to hang out with your animals and give them lots of love and kisses! I'm currently a biology major at UAA, so I have classes Monday through Thursday. All of my classes are in the late morning and afternoon, so I will be at home with your animals in the mornings and evenings. I love to just hang out with animals! I usually spend a lot of time on the couch studying or reading with client animals next to (or on top of) me. I have no issues with animals sleeping in the same bed as me. My car is dog-proofed if you want me to take your dog(s) on a field trip to the dog park or their favorite walking trail. I am also quite good with plants, so I can take care of those for you at no extra charge.

Bonsai had the best time with Maya! She took care of him so well and it was amazing to come home after two weeks away to such a happy dog and a clean home. I really appreciated that Maya got Bonsai out on the trails and gave him so much care and attention. We also appreciated the photo updates so the kids could see that he was happy and taken care of. Thank you so much Maya!

We have used Erica several times for house and dog sitting, and she continues to do an excellent job. Our dogs are always happy, well cared for, and clearly comfortable with her. She keeps us updated while we're away and follows our instructions carefully. We especially appreciate the care she takes with our home. Each time we return, the house is exceptionally clean, neat, and well cared for, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when traveling. Erica is reliable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend her.

Natalie is a wonderful dog sitter, and we hope she will always be available when we need someone to watch our pets! She sent several daily updates with photos and videos during our two night trip. My young dog and my daughter 's senior dog both took to her immediately and were clearly well cared for. She was also flexible and accommodating of our schedule. A-plus!!

Aspen is very kind with a gentle demeanor. She came over to meet us and our 2 dog babies a week or so before we needed a sitter. She was calm and warm. She dog sat in our home for a little over a week and we got photos and messages during the trip updating us on how the dogs were doing. She was quick to reply when we would check in as well. She left our dogs happy and our home clean. Aspen is fairly new to Rover but I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Aspen for a great job.

Rachel was a fantastic find last minute for a long in-home stay! My reactive medium size dog loved her and she was able to accommodate kitties as well. Would definitely recommend for those with larger dogs who may be skeptical of new comers!

Kristina took excellent care of both our home and our fur baby while we were away. She stayed in touch every day with updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. We came home to a spotless house, and her communication throughout the entire trip was outstanding. We couldn’t be happier with the care she provided and can’t wait to have her back for our next trip. Highly recommend!

Saved me and my fur babies ON AN HOURS NOTICE!! I had a sitter tell me they were leaving in 2 hours - and I was a plane ride away from house and pets. Melt down!! I went on Rover, told Annabella the story and she was at the house in a flash. Took excellent care of my house and my animals. Can’t thank her enough!

I had an emergency and had to leave town very suddenly and was not sure when I could return home. Bobby accepted my last minute request to book and she was here the next morning. Callie and Bobby’s pup got along great and I think having a 4-legged friend here helped Callie. I returned 2 days before the booking ended and Bobby was very flexible and accommodating.
