“Hannah is a wonderful, caring, dog sitter who we've continued to use over the years. Max and Valentine enjoy their time with her, and we have peace of mind while we are away. When we come back they are relaxed and happy. This past trip we had our return flight cancelled and she was flexible and available to stay another night with them. Thank you and the dogs look forward to the next visit!”
“Louisa and her daughter treated our 2 dogs and 2 cats like their own! I received regular updates and pictures on how they were doing and when we got home they didn't even seem to miss us. Our dogs received daily walks which was awesome! It was my first time having Louisa care for our pets, but she asked lots of good questions beforehand so I was completely comfortable leaving them under her care and she did not disappoint. I would not hesitate to use her services again!”
“Kaitlyn was a fantastic sitter - she was willing to schedule a meet and greet, her communication was prompt and thorough, and she was very kind and patient with my dog, Dottie.”
“Katie was wonderful with my dog and a great communicator. She sent lots of updates and I could tell she was taking great care of him. She went above and beyond! I would definitely utilize her again.”
“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”
“Seanna was amazing! She took such good care of my house and my cats. She sent lots of messages and pictures to let us know how everyone was doing. I would not hesitate to ask for her help in the future!”
“Natalee was phenomenal with Remora! Consistent updates, cute pics of my cat, and very reliable with scheduling and coordination. Natalee took great notes to make sure Remora was cared for the best as could be. Thank you!!”
“Marley goes above and beyond and I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Our cat has to take medication and she did great handling that. We were out of town and I trusted her completely. She offered updates and pictures and we knew our cat was in great hands. Her knowledge and professionalism sets her apart from the rest! :)”
“Annie took great care of our dog and guinea pig! She gave me frequent updates and was very attentive to our anxious dog’s needs. Thank you!!!”
“Robert did such a good job sitting for my dog Ozzie at my condo. He was very attentive to detail, asked good questions, sent me lots of photos and seemed to really enjoy spending time with Ozzie. Made my trip worry-free!”
““Uncle” Drew loved our girl while we were away. She went on walks, car rides, puppy play dates, cuddled on couches and got treats. Drew sent us pictures every day of special outings, and cuddles. We missed her so much but we knew she was being cared for and loved while we were away. Through text exchange, drew told us things about our girl that only someone who was invested in her would pick up on. We feel so grateful to have found Drew and will definitely ask him to take care of her again!!”
“Sabrina took amazing care of our two cats, including our asthmatic boy Sebastian who needs a daily inhaler. We received daily updates and photos, and it was clear the cats were happy and comfortable in her care. On top of that, Sabrina went above and beyond by picking up our mail and even watering a plant (little things that made a big difference). Would definitely recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a responsible and genuinely kind sitter!!”
About: Hi, I’m Jade! A little about me: I grew up in a home with a Great Dane, bunny, and cockatiel! My passion for animals took off through one of my first jobs working in a pet store. More recently, through an amazing fostering experience, my passion grew and I became all-in for animals. I work currently as a receptionist at a vet clinic and plan to get my vet tech license in a couple of years. I love all parts of my job, but most of all seeing the patients!!! I am new to Rover, but I have been watching the pets of my friends and family for years. I have cared for dogs with special instructions and have done check-ins, morning and night, as well as stay-overnights. I love animals of all kinds, and am excited to get to know yours and get all the cuddles I can! I am interested in expanding my care and experience in taking care of animals, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with special cases! It is my hope that I can earn your trust to care for your fur baby(ies) like they’re my own while you’re away :) I’m mostly doing pet care on my weekends and days off, where I will be most readily available to make sure your pets get the most thorough care I can give. I can, however, do very early morning and later night check ins if needed. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with your pet in my care and am happy to send you as many updates and pictures as you need! I will handle your fur baby with so much love and affection and make sure I stick to any instructions you may have for me!
“My partner and I were away for 3 weeks, which is the longest we've ever been away from our pets, but we were able to relax knowing that Ashley was staying in our apartment and taking such good care of them! Our dog is reactive towards other dogs, but we were able to feel confident that Ashley would take good care of him and would be able to handle difficult situations on walks. She sent frequent updates, adorable pictures, and even taught our dog some new tricks! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lily was great with our pups! She was extremely thorough and responsive while she stayed in our home watching our pups. She had great attention to detail and our house and pups were all in great shape upon our return! Overall great experience”
“Zach took excellent care of our two cats, one of whom was having health issues. He asked us ahead of time what kind of communication we wanted (lots of pictures!) and then made sure to follow-through. We'd happily have him house-sit for us again!”

Vilas pet parents share their Rover experiences
Genevieve was amazing with our two dogs and cat! One of our dogs is old, incontinent, deaf, and medicated. The other is a barky puppy. And the cat...well she's an avid rodent hunter. Genevieve handled our zoo like an all star pro. We came home to happy animals and a clean house! She will be our first call going forward!
Joshua was incredible with our Lilo, a 2.5 year old Australian Shepherd mix. Lilo is an energetic and playful dog and Joshua gave her plenty of long walks and playtime, like tug of war. Lilo also has separation anxiety when we are gone, and would be hesitant to go on walks, for which Joshua was extremely patient and kind towards her with encouraging her to put on her harness and walk. Joshua is very good at leash training and so Lilo followed his lead with walks very well. He even got a retractable leash so that she can sniff at her own pace and run around while on walks, making walks very enjoyable for her! He was able to gain her trust such that within a couple days, she was already sleeping by his side. We are dog fosterers ourselves who work with anxious dogs with trauma, so we know it’s not easy to leave your pet (especially if they struggle without you around) with a completely new person. We HIGHLY recommend Joshua to be your new pet sitter because he’s extremely kind, responsible with Lilo’s needs and schedule, and is a natural at winning over our dog (who is usually suspicious of new people). He kept Lilo both safe and comforted physically and emotionally throughout the time we were away. We were constantly assured that Lilo was doing well, and Joshua even took the time to video call with us multiple times to speak with Lilo. Lilo loves Joshua and we know your pets will too!
Louisa and Sammy did a wonderful job sitting for our six month old labrador puppy. They did a great job of working with her on training and encouraging her to hold a ball to help dress a dental issue. They are an awesome team and we will definitely book with them again!
Sophie took amazing care of Ernest - she gave me detailed updates, communicated clearly and was careful to ask questions to understand what Ernest needed, and most importantly pampered Ern and made sure he could stick to his normal routine as much as possible while I was away. I came home to a happy and relaxed dog!
Melissa (Auntie Myssah) is an amazing sitter. We feel so lucky to have experienced her excellent pet/house sitting services. She took care of our cat for six nights. We appreciated all the photos and updates throughout the week. We could tell our little guy was in great hands. We arrived home to a happy kitty and a very clean house. We definitely recommend her services and look forward to the next stay!
Ryan house-sat with our dogs, who get a lot of attention from me and my spouse because we are both retired. Ryan was a great communicator, letting us know how the meals and walks, and backyard hang-out sessions went, along with plenty of photos. We came home to happy dogs. We will definitely try to book him again.
