“Laura is fabulous!!! So communicative and capable with both my quirky dog and cat. She stayed at our house, and when I came home it was cleaner than when I left it. She sends amusing, regular updates and I know my babies are in great hands with her.”
“Where to even begin! While my husband and I were away, Yajahyra stayed at our place to take care of our Frenchie baby Remy. I received detailed updates with pictures and videos and she left the cutest little poloroid picture of him. Remy was definitely missing her after she left! We can't wait to book with her again in the future.”
“I was a little nervous, opening up my house and trusting my pet to a stranger, but Anna was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative, accountable, kept in touch and sent lots of pictures! My cat loved her! I think my house looked even cleaner than before after she left! Definitely keeping your contact, and will be rebooking in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“I can’t recommend Yahaira enough! She is honestly so sweet and treated my puppy, Souei, like one of her own babies. On top of that, she’s an amazing trainer and gave me some awesome peace of mind while I was away. I’m so glad I found her. will definitely be booking her again!”
“Alex was great! She saved my life and came super last minute to watch my doggy. She kept me updated frequently, sent me multiple pictures and did great with my doggy’s medication management. She was happy to help and be there, my doggy was sad seeing her leave! Would definitely 10/10 recommend Alex and will be asking her for help if needed in the future!”
“Michael was incredible with our two fur babies. He stayed in contact all the time and walked them multiple times a day. The house was immaculate when we got home and the dogs were very happy. Highly recommend him and we will be using his excellent service again! Thank you so much 😊”
About: Been taking care of roommates, friends and my own pets since college in 2009. I have fostered a special needs dog that was deaf, diabetic and had cataracts, she needed insulin injections with every meal. I adopted 2 awesome dogs, one of them has been through 2 ACL surgeries and lives with Cushing's. I work from home and have a pretty flexible schedule. I can take a long lunch and walk/check in on your animals. I have pretty open availability to visit evenings and weekends. Walking a dog is a great way to bond and give the pet some sunshine and exercise. I don't mind spending a good amount of time playing with the dog and make sure their needs are met. I am used to having my dog be a picky pee spot picker, so I have a lot of patience.
“Beth lived in and watched our Irish wolfhounds and cats. First I am the most anal compulsive person when it comes to my hounds. I have great anxiety leaving my heard of animals but anxiety was out the window with Beth taking excellent care and attention to them. My hounds were relaxed when I came home. She sent photos of the hounds loving her. I highly recommend Beth. She knows dogs and has fantastic intuition to their needs. My hounds love love Beth!!!”
About: Hey fellow dog lovers! I’ve had animals around me all my life, and dogs have always been a constant; sometimes just being the reason I got outside for a walk on a tough day. Caring for different pets over the years has shown me that every animal is unique, with their own quirks, needs, and boundaries. I always respect that so they feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I’ve been running a remote creative studio for 8+ years, which gives me flexibility in my day to day and allows me to be fully present when caring for your pet. Because I work remotely, I’m able to spend more time at home with your pet and keep them company throughout the day. I’d describe my energy as calm, attentive, and playful. I prioritize a calm, safe, and respectful environment for every pet. I follow routines closely, stay attentive on walks, and ensure pets feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Happy to keep you as updated as you'd prefer.
About: Caring for dogs has been a constant in my life for over 16 years. I’ve raised and cared for my own dogs and continue to pet sit for friends with a variety of breeds, each with their own personalities and needs. I bring a calm, consistent presence and take pride in providing thoughtful, reliable care so dogs feel secure, comfortable, and at ease. Availability is intentionally limited to ensure each client receives dependable, uninterrupted care. I offer flexible scheduling with advance notice and prioritize bookings where I can maintain a consistent presence and routine for your dog. I’m best suited for planned travel rather than last-minute requests, though I’m always open to coordinating when schedules align. I take on a select number of stays at a time to ensure each home and pet receives my full attention. Feel free to reach out with your dates in advance and I’m happy to coordinate accordingly. I provide calm, reliable in-home care so your dog can stay comfortable in their own environment while you’re away. My approach is structured and low-stress—maintaining your dog’s routine, keeping their space clean and secure, and ensuring they feel settled with consistent care and attention. I work best with house-trained, well-behaved dogs in stable home environments. I prioritize clear communication, daily updates, and a professional, respectful presence in your home. Meet & greets are required for all first-time bookings to ensure the right fit.
“Here’s a polished Rover review you can post: Kelly was absolutely amazing and truly saved us when our pet sitter canceled at the last minute. She took incredible care of our four dogs and three little pigs while staying in our home. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure all of our animals were happy and well cared for. She sent frequent updates and lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our pets were comfortable, loved, and getting plenty of attention. We came home to happy animals and a well-cared-for house. We couldn’t be more grateful for Kelly’s help and professionalism, especially on such short notice. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“I can't thank Nadia enough for taking care of our two mini goldendoodles while we were away for the weekend! She is very sweet and caring, we were very nervous about leaving them alone for the first time and she really assured us that our babies were in good hands! Dependable, Professional, Caring, and Trustworthy. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! Thank you Nadia!”
“Michelle went above and beyond during her short stay with Kenji. She took him on an extra long walk and even did some chores for me unprompted. Kenji was very happy and well cared for upon my return. Would definitely book with Michelle again.”
“Evelyn did a great job with my pups! She cuddled them, slept with them, sent bunch of pictures and updates! The best part is she handled them perfectly when the pups had a bit of a disagreement and kept them safe. She took great care of the house and upon my arrival it seemed like no one was ever there. I definitely recommend her for everyone, and I will be booking her again in the near future!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and deep passion for animals. I've been pet sitting since I was 10, and over the years, I've gained extensive hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from puppies to senior dogs. My family often relies on me for pet advice and assistance, which has helped me build strong instincts for animal care. Whether it's administering medication, providing specialized senior care, or teaching new tricks, I ensure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. As a 20-year-old college student, I attend school on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 10:20 a.m. I also work part-time at an accounting firm when my schedule allows. With a lot of free time outside of those commitments, I’d love to incorporate pet care into my routine, as spending time with animals is something I'm passionate about. When caring for pets, whether in my own home or a client's, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I ensure the area is pet-proofed, with no harmful objects or substances within reach. I follow any specific instructions the owner provides, including dietary needs, medication schedules, and routines to keep the pets comfortable and healthy. Building trust with the animals is key, so I take the time to interact with them gently and patiently, helping them feel secure in their surroundings. Additionally, I create a calm and stress-free environment, offering plenty of attention, playtime, and affection to meet their emotional and physical needs.
“Sydney was great with our very anxious and high-strung girl. She's a big dog, so it takes a lot of confidence to take that on, and I appreciate that. She also takes amazing dog pictures!”

I was a little nervous, opening up my house and trusting my pet to a stranger, but Anna was absolutely wonderful! Very communicative, accountable, kept in touch and sent lots of pictures! My cat loved her! I think my house looked even cleaner than before after she left! Definitely keeping your contact, and will be rebooking in the future! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nadia was fantastic! Our dog and cat clearly loved spending time with her. She kept us updated with regular pictures, watered our plants, and even washed and changed the sheets before we returned. We were extremely impressed with her care and attention to detail, and we would love to have her pet sit for us again. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!
Alexandra was an amazing in-home dog sitter. She took excellent care of my senior dog, who has a specific diet and requires medication, and handled everything perfectly. She sent photos and updates a couple of times each day, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away from my boy. It was clear he was comfortable, happy, and very well cared for. I would absolutely book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Danny was a great help during our time away, and he did an outstanding job of keeping up with a rascal of a puppy in addition to our adult Lab. Danny definitely went above and beyond to keep the chaos in control, and kept us informed along the way. We also appreciated that he went beyond expectations to leave the house clean and tidy before we got home. Would highly recommend!
Jillian was patient, kind and very conscientious with our deaf and mostly blind senior dog. I was very anxious about leaving her but with Jillian's clear communication and photos, began to relax. When we returned our dog was just fine, due to Jillian's hard work. She's the best!
David was great with our adult dog, and was able to come in last-minute, which was a huge relief. He stayed over and left the house in great condition as well. Our dog has some very particular needs as he continues to recover from an injury, and David had no problem handling them. Will definitely be keeping David on our Rover rotation :)
Claudia was already watching our two dogs when my brother needed her for the night. She rolled with the punches. His dog ended up being just as obsessed with her as our dogs are. My brother is VERY nervous about who watches his dog. He relaxed immediately with Claudia. Of course she sent pictures throughout the stay. Somehow she can juggle play time, food time, and dinner time flawlessly with three, very different size dogs with wildly different personalities. She has a true talent. (Your house will also somehow always be nicer than how you left it too)
Meg is a fantastic sitter! Badger was so well cared for and we loved the updates she gave. She confidently navigated a medical event with our dog where she had to bring him to the vet. We were lucky to have her around. It made being away so much easier knowing he was in such great hands.
We couldn’t be happier with Jaiden. My wife and I went on a 9-day trip to Costa Rica and wanted to make sure our 16-year-old dog wouldn’t feel lonely or stressed while we were away. From the start, Jaiden made us feel comfortable and confident leaving Polly in her care. Our dog is very picky when we’re gone and usually becomes lethargic, but that wasn’t the case at all with Jaiden. Polly was active, engaged, and clearly well cared for. Jaiden communicated with us daily, sending updates and photos of Polly on her walks, playing at home, and resting comfortably. That peace of mind while traveling was invaluable. We were extremely happy with her service and will absolutely book her again for future trips (if she’s available). Highly recommend Jaiden to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter.
