Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dexter
“Absolutely amazing! My first time ever having to use a pet sitter and she went above and beyond to update me and ease my nerves. Not only did my puppy feel safe, but I did too! Could not recommend her more! 10/10 communication and responsibility.”
About: I have been loving and taking care of pets for years. I worked at animal shelter for 2 years and that gave me lots of experience with all kinds of animals young ones, old ones, moody ones, happy ones, and more! I have lots of experience with challenging dogs and ones with health issues too. I am currently home for the summer and looking to fill my time loving on some animals 🐾 I do not have any restrictions on time or days. I have a fenced yard and dogs to keep your fur friend company. I have the space to crate your pup if needed, and wood floor for easy clean ups.
“Jayda offers excellent care for your pets! She sent updates and videos. We are incredibly grateful that we have found safe boarding for our dogs while we travel. I definitely recommend Jayda!”
“We are very thankful for Nicole’s help with our dog! She took her in for the weekend and Marcy spent the weekend with her and her dog. Marcy came back exhausted- which is always a good sign that she had a good time! Nicole sent me some cute pictures of their weekend as well. Nicole lives very close to us so we hope to have her dog sit in the future for us as well!”
“Our first time using Rover. We lucked out finding Amanda and Lee. They responded quickly to our unexpected need. Our precious little girl, Willa, enjoyed her stay. She was comfortable at first meeting Lee, even though she is sometimes cautious around men. She loved the family life. Calm and content when we picked her up. I would/will definitely use this sitter again.”
“Holly was professional and caring. Our one pouch requires medication on time, Holly met the needs of him. It was fun to have a pic of the dogs while we were away. Holly genuinely enjoyed caring for our furry beasts. Pick up was organized and our dogs seemed so content and calm. Thank you Holly and family?”

About: Hello! I’m so glad you are here! My name is Sharee. I am 23 and I just moved here to the Watertown area from Sarasota, FL; which is where I’m from. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.
“Thank you to Linda and Bob for taking such good care of Chester for the week. Chester enjoys his time there and comes home happy, we really appreciate how they make him a part of their family.”
“Our doggy had an absolute blast. We were sent photos regularly and you can tell they have a lot of dog experience. We felt very comfortable leaving our Doberman with them, all his needs were met. It was a pleasure meeting Brigit and Rob, our doggy can’t wait to see you both again very soon.”
“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter. Their dog, Fiona, is also very friendly and well trained. Charles also update in the middle of the sitting time. I can see Lucy had a good time with the host family. Strongly recommended!”

“Attention to all military families!! If you need someone super trusting to come and watch/take care of your furry family, do not hesitate to book with Lindsey! She was phenomenal and truly treats your babies like her own! She was super attentive, gave great timely updates, went beyond expectations in her care. She booked us the week before my husbands and I’s trip, took on the added challenge of taking care of one of our sick babies last minute as well. Well 100% be booking with Lindsey in the future ❤️🤧”
“Gabby is great with my Bengal boys. She builds them forts, plays with them, and gives me a huge piece of mind that they are in good hands while I travel (fed, area cleaned, etc). She is polite and very gentle with them. We will continue to use her in the future!”
“Justin was awesome with my 2 cats. He followed directions I left out, sent lots of pictures and detailed notes of his visit and didn’t hesitate to bring in our packages I told him we were expecting as well. He even cleaned up after my two messy eaters. Thank you Justin for taking good care of Sho and Luna! Definitely recommend Justin to care for your fur babies.”
“Julia did a wonderful job! I was afraid that my cat would lose weight while we were gone. Instead, he gained weight. He seemed very calm and content when we returned. She did everything that was asked of her and left everything neat and clean. I, highly, recommend her.”
“Joanna was fantastic. Great communication, and went the extra mile each and every time. I had her dropping in for a whole month for my cats while I was gone. Would recommend and rebook with her again.”
“Alexia was excellent with our two cats. Her experience working at a vet clinic was a great comfort since one cat has had health issues in the past. She went above and beyond to care for him. She was also flexible when our travel schedule changed at the last minute, which was greatly appreciated!”
“Eliza did an amazing job once again. She takes such good care of our cats and makes us feel so comfortable with her care. We always get such awesome updates and pictures from her. She's always our number one choice for care for our pets when we go out of town!!”
“Would definitely recommend booking with Jackie! She sent us tons of pictures during her drop in and made sure to give our cats plenty of play time and pets. She followed all the instructions we gave her and we really couldn’t ask for a better experience. Thanks Jackie!”
“Nicole was great! First time Rover user with an adolescent cat who isn’t away from his people much. She was available short notice, walked me through aspects of the service, and clearly loves animals and what she does. Will absolutely rebook again!”
“Madison was great! We needed someone last minute due to an emergency and she kept our minds at ease by taking such great care of our pups. Her communication skills were top tier. We could not recommend her more. Thank you so much Madison!”
“Jillian was incredible. Absolutely stellar in remembering all the directions I rambled through and left great notes/pictures for me after each visit. Jillian is so friendly, Houdini and I both LOVED her!! Highly recommend, will be using Jillian’s services for the foreseeable future. Thank you!!”

“Saskia was amazing!! She always kept me updated and took so many cute pictures of my pup. Her and her family took wonderful care of him while I worked this weekend. Definitely will be booking with her again and I recommend her to anyone looking for pet care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.”
“Oreo loved his stay, I dropped him off on both Saturday and Sunday for a few hours ! Each day , she responded immediately and let me bring him very short notice! She was amazing with him, she sent pictures during his stay ,i can tell he enjoyed the walks ( he’s used to walks in the city not country walks) she kept him on schedule and I loved to see him interact with the other dogs , the new environment , and the love and care Andrea effortlessly gave to Oreo. I will continue to book with her when I’m in the area. Thanks again 🫶🏾”

“Charles took amazing care of Mario! When we picked him up, Mario was happily tired out after all the playing. We were visiting Gananoque on a trip, and it was such a relief to have Charles look after him while we went on a cruise.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Great with meds, after surgery care, senior dogs, walks an of course lots of play and cuddle time. I treat each dog as if they are mine. I work from and can make my own schedule, which leaves time to spoil my dog and get cuddling and lots of play time in. I have an unfenced yard but plenty of room for your fur baby to run. I have a staffy that is a rescue and is very sweet and gets along with other dogs. If I come to you we will have lots of fun.
“Daniel was so great watching my little guy Harvey! He really took the time to learn about Harvey’s walk schedule, what some of his favourite games are and you could tell he just really loves dogs!”
“I booked Rose for my dog Luna and the experience overall was smooth and easy. Communication was friendly, scheduling was simple, and I appreciated the updates during the day. Luna came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign! Thank you for taking good care of her.”
“Paige and Vanessa took great care of my dog! They communicated often and updates were much appreciated. My dog was very content and happy which is awesome because he has some separation anxiety and I was worried about leaving him.”
“Ana was very friendly, polite and knew exactly how to take care of my Chico. Definitely recommend her to anyone who need to leave their furbabies either for a few hours or a few days.”
“Luke was great with Cow! She immediately started playing with her toys with him and that’s a rare occurrence with strangers. She was pooped after a day of walks with him and it was nice to know that she could get some exercise and some couch cuddles, the perfect balance for her. Luke was keen to oblige to all the picky requirements that a chihuahua has. 20/10 would leave Cow with Luke again! Thanks for being flexible with booking and for taking good care of her!”
About: I've been the go-to pet sitter for family and friends since I was 16, caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra attention. I'm comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions to help keep pets happy, healthy, and on their normal routine. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and give owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I'm partially retired and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. As a former dog mom, I miss the companionship, walks, joy and love that dogs bring to everyday life, which is what inspired me to join Rover. Whether your dog needs a walk, company during the day, or extra attention while you're away, I'm able to provide reliable care and accommodate a variety of schedules. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and look forward to making them feel safe and comfortable. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding routines, feeding, medications, and any special needs. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and your dog's comfort level to help ensure a safe and positive experience. I understand that every dog is different, and I take the time to build trust at their pace. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care so both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident.

I work part-time at Queen's University during the evenings and always have all daytimes free for whatever you or your pet has in mind for that day! I have strong safety senses and always come prepared with all the crucial first aid equipment and pet tools that could be needed in any situation. I also have the back of my car setup for pets, should yours need to be transported somewhere.

“Julia went above and beyond taking care of Skipper. We are completely satisifed with the drop in visits and walks through the week. Julia provided excellent updates and prompt communication. We would absolutely contract her services again and we recommend using Julia!”
“Leading up to my wedding, I was feeling nervous about all of our family being with us and how our dog would be taken care of. Saskia not only helped to completely remove those nerves, but truly treated our dog like her own. Our dog struggles with anxiety and can take a little to warm up to new people, but wagged her tail and got excited this morning smelling Saskia’s hat!! I knew from Saskia’s amazing communication and update pictures that our dog was in excellent hands, but that sealed the deal for me. My husband and I were not worried at all and able to be fully present at our wedding knowing our baby was so well taken care of.”
“Justin is an absolute Godsend. Izzy has loved meeting him and thoroughly enjoyed her walks and all of the attention while we were away. He has been very flexible and is a wonderful communicator. We will be hiring Justin again!”

“I have a rescue pittie named Peter thats only been with me for about 4 months, and he currently needs a lot of extra care, attention, patience, and love. Nicole has been so kind and willing to accommodate his needs, and Peter loves her! He looks so happy in all the update pictures she sends— I’m grateful to have found somebody that both me and my dog feel comfy with.”

About: Hi, nice to meet you! Please call me Eliza. Firstly, thank you for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away. Here's a little bit about me and my history with pet care. When I was little, I always knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity. My journey with pet care began when I was 12 years old. One of my neighbors had a black lab puppy that they never let inside & never had company. One day, I walked up to their door, knocked & asked them to hire me to walk their dog everyday. I never looked back. Since then, friends, family, neighbors & strangers alike have entrusted me with all of their pet's needs. When considering booking with me, please keep in mind that I also work 35 hours a week, giving me plenty of time to pay attention to your pets. I do not have breed restrictions & am happy to work with any special needs or requirements your pet may have. FOR ALL NEW CLIENTS, I do require a meet & greet before booking to ensure that everyone (including your pet) is comfortable and to be able to ask/answer any questions we may have for each other. I've found this helps to ensure trust between all of us. Please be upfront with any triggers or quirks so I know exactly how to take care of your pet. *The meet & greet is a FREE service to ensure we're all a good fit for each other before the stay. For the time being, I do not offer boarding in my home. During my stay with your pets, I provide the utmost care & attention to your pet & their needs. My main priorities are making sure your pet is as safe & as comfortable as possible in an already anxious situation with their parents being away. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur-babies while you're away.

I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs and cannot have one of my own right now-- so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I've always been an animal lover and dogs have always been apart of our family throughout my childhood. Giving them the care they need and deserve is my priority and I will treat your dog like my own. I will take them on long walks (when needed), occasional park trips (if comfortable with) and make sure they receive the food, exercise and all the love they need. I've had many experiences with animals, including: 2 Great Danes, a Bichon Poo, a British short haired' cat, and I have helped raise and train two well behaved pure bread German Shepherds. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing and I guarantee yours will obtain nothing but the absolute best. I just joined the military and definitely need a reason to get off base and also make new fury friends here! Rover is a way for me to make additional income while doing something that brings me joy. My schedule is Monday- Friday but I’m expecting to have a lot of 4-day weekends. Your pets are your family and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. My main goal is to build a relationship with you and your pet which will allow us all to feel secure and connected. I will do my best to be attentive and communicative through pictures, phone calls etc. I look forward to meeting/ caring for your pets and making this a memorable experience for all of us! (I am available for Dog Walking, Drop-In Visits and House Sitting only) I am currently working full time Monday- Friday but am available around lunch time every weekday, after work during the week, and my weekends are completely free. I am available to walk your dog every day in the early morning, lunch time, and after work around 5pm. Additionally, I can also accommodate high energy breeds that need more than a potty walk.
“Our doggy had an absolute blast. We were sent photos regularly and you can tell they have a lot of dog experience. We felt very comfortable leaving our Doberman with them, all his needs were met. It was a pleasure meeting Brigit and Rob, our doggy can’t wait to see you both again very soon.”
“I booked at the last minute with Charles cuz the Cruise team and camp resort couldn’t look after my dog who was traveling with us. Charles and his wife are excellent pet sitter. Their dog, Fiona, is also very friendly and well trained. Charles also update in the middle of the sitting time. I can see Lucy had a good time with the host family. Strongly recommended!”
“Josephine recently took care of my 2 standard poodles - 12 years old and 4 years old. The 4 year old was rehomed to me a year ago and is a challenging dog. Josephine was just fantastic with both of them - taking care of the 12 year old's mobility issues and making sure the 4 year old was exercised and entertained. It was so clear from the photos Josephine sent that both pups were having a grand time and we have already booked their next stay!”
“We are beyond thrilled with the exceptional care our dog, Louis, received from Deb and Marron. From the very first interaction, their communication was outstanding—always prompt, clear, and incredibly thoughtful. They went above and beyond in terms of flexibility and attention to detail, which made us feel completely at ease leaving our boy in their care. It was so evident from the photos and updates that he was not just being looked after, but genuinely adored and doted on. They took him to the Santa Claus parade, had holiday photo shoots, and filled his days with so much fun, love, and big walks. He clearly was happy and we felt completely comfortable and trusting in their care. We have never experienced such personal, warm, and exceptional service from a dog-sitting duo. It’s clear that they do this for the pure love of dogs, and their kindness and professionalism shines through in every aspect of care within their lovely family home. Thank you for giving Louis such a memorable, safe, and joyful experience—we couldn’t recommend you both more highly!”
“Jessika was awesome , ottie was well taken care above and beyond during her stay with her was always available when I messaged her on ottie stay . Would definitely recommend and if I need a sitters she is the one I would call on the web site ❤️”
“Alex was so great with our pup! He was happy and clearly well cared-for over the 5 days at her house. Bailey, her dog, is gentle and nice and was a great companion too. Highly recommend!”
“Pamesha and her husband are so sweet and kind. They are always available to watch Auggie and we love sending him to daycare with them! The sweetest and most thoughtful sitters ever.”
“We couldn’t have asked for better care for Hunter! This was his very first time away from our family, so we were naturally a little nervous. Vanessa and Paige went above and beyond to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and loved. They kept us updated with photos throughout his stay, took him swimming, and gave him so much attention and care. When we picked him up, he honestly looked even better than when we dropped him off! It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in such kind, caring hands while we were away. Thank you so much, Paige and Vanessa, for treating Hunter like one of your own. We will absolutely be booking with you again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
