“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“Gracie was so well taken care of! They kept in communication daily. I cannot wait to take her back. She came back happy and exhausted from her vacation! I would absolutely recommend Lizdalia to take care of your pet anytime! She treated Gracie as if she were her own family and Gracie loved her. Could not ask for a better sitter. I promise you will be very pleased! Thank you so much for being there for us. We are blessed we found you!”
“She took excellent care of our Webber. She was great, totally on time to get him and sent us tons of photos and videos of him having a great time. Will absolutely use again.”
“It has been great working with Bryce! He has been really easy to communicate with and sent pictures while our pup was away! I am so glad we found him and have already rebooked! Thank you!!”
“We love leaving our dogs with Kaio and Anik! They take such great care of Leo and Ellie and send a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely continue to use them more in the future.”
“Devin was so great!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her, and could tell her and her family loved on her well. We will definitely look to use her again in the future!”
“Max took wonderful care of our sweet old girl! He kept us updated as any problem arose. He sent pictures to keep us at ease. We will definitely be booking with him again!! Thanks for a relaxing weekend away Max!!”
“Very attentive to your dog's needs and takes the time to learn your fur baby's personality. I have rebooked with Maurice to care for my dog again at the end of May.”
“Christina provides top-notch service. She is a great communicator and always provides frequency updates on our pup when he is with her. Our pup always comes home happy and tired from all of the fun adventures he has with her!”
“Our fur baby and cat, along with our grand dog, had a wonderful stay with James! This was their first visit and they all three made themselves right at home from the moment they met James. Even the cat quickly made friends with him. He has a nice, very clean home with a large fenced backyard for pets to relax and enjoy. James sends daily updates and photos, and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He’s such a nice and caring guy with a calming disposition, and it warms our hearts for all of our fur babies to be so content in his presence. Great experience!!”
“Kelli was great with Tiger. She kept us in the loop with daily pics and updates. Tiger had a great time getting walks and playing. We will be booking with Kelli again!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lori and the care she has given my puppy, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable and reassured that he was in great hands. She kept me updated daily with messages and pictures of his activities, and it was clear that Frankie was happy, relaxed, and truly enjoying himself — he looked like he was right at home. What meant the most to me was her kindness and flexibility during a very stressful time for me. I am currently in the hospital recovering from back surgery, and at the last minute my doctor told me I needed to stay another night. I reached out to Lori hoping it wouldn’t be a problem, and she immediately reassured me not to worry and that Frankie was perfectly fine staying another night. That simple kindness gave me so much peace of mind while I’m here recovering. Lori has been so attentive and loving with him — honestly, she spoiled him! It means the world to know that Frankie is being cared for and shown the same love and attention that I give him at home. I am incredibly grateful for Lori. Frankie absolutely has a permanent sitter whenever we need one in the future, and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their pet cared for like family.”
“Cassandra was amazing with my dog. She provided constant updates and communication, and she also sent me a picture everyday which I loved. Love the fact that she has a fenced in backyard so he could run around and still give me a piece of mind. All in all, 5-star option here with Cassandra, and I’d trust her with any pet! We’ll definitely be back soon :)”
“Michele was absolutely amazing as our sitter. From the beginning, she was responsive, professional, and very kind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.”
“I knew my puppy was safe and being loved on by Khalia. Loved getting updates from her. Very happy that we found her. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Khalia!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Megan! She took care of my super shy cat for 3+ days and he felt right at home with her! Where he would typically hide under beds, he was letting her give him belly rubs and eating/sleeping well. I usually feel anxious and guilty all the time on our short vacations, worrying about him feeling stressed. This time was different ; the videos she sent told me he was doing great! Megan listened to what I said and worked her magic! I highly recommend this lovely lady to care for your fur babies 💝”
“As always, Veronica is the absolute best sitter in the state! Drove 4 hours away so she could watch my cat, she's the only person I trust with him, I've always revieved pictures at least 2x a day, I have a very shy cat and to see him roaming around having fun instead of hiding under the bed was amazing, Veronica and her husband are great people, there is nobody else I reccomend or trust!”
“My boarding plans changed on me at the last min. Luckily, I was able to find a sitter hours before my flight. Zenaida was outstanding from the initial reach out to the boys’ drop off to them being picked up after my trip. She took great care of them and provided updates throughout their stay with her. I will be a repeat customer, and I can tell that the boys enjoyed staying with her.”

“Jackie was great with our cat and our home while we were away. She was able to recognize signs of stress and adjust the care she provided to make sure our cat was happy and comfortable (he is typically on the skittish/nervous side as it is, so we wanted to make sure he was in good hands while out of town). She also sent us photos and updates while we were away. She was very kind and respectful. We will definitely use her again in the future!”

“There aren't enough words to express how AMAZING Dianne is, both as a cat-sitter and as a person. Not only did she send me daily updates on my Chunky boy, but she clearly bonded with him instantly and they became good friends. He let her scratch her in ways nobody but me can! Besides how she adored my kitty cat, she took care of the essentials as well (food, water, litter) and went above and beyond to push my trash out and bring packages inside. I will definitely be using Dianne for all future pet-sitting needs and have already confirmed her for a week in November. THANK YOU, DIANNE! Your care for Chunky let me enjoy my vacation and I truly appreciate that.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I spent a lot of time with my gran, who had a German Shepherd, a rescue mixed-breed from Ireland. Since moving to America, I’ve rescued two pups from a local animal shelter. I’ve had my oldest for over two years and my youngest for just over six months. They’re both under three, full of energy, and bring me so much joy every day! My mum has also had a dog since I was 13, and being away from her after moving made me realize how much I wanted dogs of my own. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. Pet care is my full-time job, so I have the flexibility to dedicate my time and attention to every pet in my care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love and attention throughout the day.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I cared for a variety of pets including Rottweilers, a purebred Husky, teacup Chihuahuas, rabbits, turtles, and guinea pigs. Since I was homeschooled while most of my siblings were at school, I became the primary caregiver for many of our pets, handling feeding, exercise, cleaning, and daily care. I also helped train our white Husky using patience and consistency, which taught me the importance of understanding each animal’s unique personality and needs. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine very naturally because I’m already used to structured responsibilities and being attentive to animal needs. I also work part-time, so I’m familiar with balancing a job, staying organized, and still making sure I give animals consistent, focused care. I plan my schedule intentionally so pet visits, walks, and check-ins don’t feel rushed or like an afterthought. When I’m with pets, they have my full attention. I make sure feeding, playtime, litter care, and comfort routines are done properly and on time. Even with a part-time work schedule, I prioritize clear communication and reliability, so pet parents always know their pets are safe, cared for, and getting regular updates. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their environment as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow their normal routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, playtime, and any special instructions like medications or specific habits. I also make sure their space stays clean, safe, and comfortable while respecting the home as if it were my own. I pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort level—whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and need space. I let them warm up at their own pace and make sure they feel secure while their owner is away. I also provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected. If caring for pets in my home, I would maintain a calm, clean, and supervised environment where pets are given attention, structure, and comfort throughout the day.

“Our dog, Newmie, had the best time staying with Jennifer and her sweet dogs for the long weekend. We got plenty of pictures and updates showing us how much fun he was having, and how relaxed he seemed. I will definitely use her again next time we are up her way! Thank you for the great care and communication!”
“We love leaving our dogs with Kaio and Anik! They take such great care of Leo and Ellie and send a lot of pictures and updates throughout the day. Will definitely continue to use them more in the future.”
“Devin was so great!! We felt so comfortable leaving our dog with her, and could tell her and her family loved on her well. We will definitely look to use her again in the future!”
“Max took wonderful care of our sweet old girl! He kept us updated as any problem arose. He sent pictures to keep us at ease. We will definitely be booking with him again!! Thanks for a relaxing weekend away Max!!”
“Very attentive to your dog's needs and takes the time to learn your fur baby's personality. I have rebooked with Maurice to care for my dog again at the end of May.”
“Christina provides top-notch service. She is a great communicator and always provides frequency updates on our pup when he is with her. Our pup always comes home happy and tired from all of the fun adventures he has with her!”
“Our fur baby and cat, along with our grand dog, had a wonderful stay with James! This was their first visit and they all three made themselves right at home from the moment they met James. Even the cat quickly made friends with him. He has a nice, very clean home with a large fenced backyard for pets to relax and enjoy. James sends daily updates and photos, and is quick to respond to any questions or concerns. He’s such a nice and caring guy with a calming disposition, and it warms our hearts for all of our fur babies to be so content in his presence. Great experience!!”
“Michele was absolutely amazing as our sitter. From the beginning, she was responsive, professional, and very kind. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.”
“I knew my puppy was safe and being loved on by Khalia. Loved getting updates from her. Very happy that we found her. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you Khalia!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how pleased I am with Megan! She took care of my super shy cat for 3+ days and he felt right at home with her! Where he would typically hide under beds, he was letting her give him belly rubs and eating/sleeping well. I usually feel anxious and guilty all the time on our short vacations, worrying about him feeling stressed. This time was different ; the videos she sent told me he was doing great! Megan listened to what I said and worked her magic! I highly recommend this lovely lady to care for your fur babies 💝”
“As always, Veronica is the absolute best sitter in the state! Drove 4 hours away so she could watch my cat, she's the only person I trust with him, I've always revieved pictures at least 2x a day, I have a very shy cat and to see him roaming around having fun instead of hiding under the bed was amazing, Veronica and her husband are great people, there is nobody else I reccomend or trust!”
“My boarding plans changed on me at the last min. Luckily, I was able to find a sitter hours before my flight. Zenaida was outstanding from the initial reach out to the boys’ drop off to them being picked up after my trip. She took great care of them and provided updates throughout their stay with her. I will be a repeat customer, and I can tell that the boys enjoyed staying with her.”
“Kevonna was so sweet with my cat! She clipped her nails for me, sent photos of her and made sure she was taken care of through the Christmas holiday. We will definitely book with her again :)”
“One of my dogs looked confused when it was time to go home, so I can tell they enjoyed their stay with Suzanne and her family. She was warm and inviting, and communicated the entire stay. I’m hoping her schedule allows for them to stay with her for future travels.”
“Erica was absolutely fantastic! Both dogs looked so happy in all the pictures while we were gone. They'll definitely be going back any time we need someone to watch them.”
“This was my first time leaving my pup with a sitter & I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Candace again. She answered all questions I had and seems to really care about the pets in her care. She did an awesome job with providing updates and photos throughout his stay. Thanks again!”
“She is the best sitter we have ever had. House was very clean & odor free. Husband and dog were also exceptional. We would love to have her sit again if she will have us.”
“As parents of a new baby, we were very concerned about leaving our Marley anyway, however, based on the reviews of Langston we felt Marley would be in good hands. We did a visit before hand and Marley loved it and Langston was very good with her. During our trip, Langston kept us informed of how Marley was doing and sent plenty of pics. We give Langston a 5 star reveiw for caring for our baby.”
“Ms. Suzy is hands down the absolute best sitter on Rover! We had a last-minute work trip and were initially anxious about leaving our Frenchies with someone new, but Ms. Suzy immediately put us at ease. Before our trip, she let us come over for a meet-and-greet so our dogs could get comfortable with her and her sweet dog, Molly. Throughout our trip, her communication was a solid 10/10—we received daily updates and photos, allowing us to focus entirely on work without a single worry. Frenchies are full of personality and high-energy, our girls definitely tested their boundaries. Frenchies can be a handful with all their energy and stubborn quirks, but Ms. Suzy handled our girls with endless patience and genuine affection. Knowing they were safe, loved, and well cared for allowed us to handle our business trip without stressing for a second. She went above and beyond in every way. Before we even got back home, I had already asked her to watch them for our next trip! If you are looking for an attentive, trustworthy, and incredibly loving sitter, book Ms. Suzy immediately. (Also, I am so glad Rover allows tipping, because the level of care she provides is worth every single penny and then some!) If I could give Ms. Suzy 100 stars, I would! Leaving your fur babies is always stressful, but Ms. Suzy made this a completely worry-free experience from start to finish. Ms. Suzy is exceptional! We boarded our dogs with her for five days, and she kept us informed every step of the way, allowing us to truly relax during our trip. We had experienced a past loss with a previous sitter and were extremely hesitant to leave our pets again, but meeting Suzy and Molly completely relieved our stress. Her frequent check-ins provided total peace of mind. We will definitely be booking with her again whenever she has availability!"”
