“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”
“Elliot and Jo are the best! We felt immediately comfortable at our meet and greet and they took the time to make notes about Maple’s schedule as well as her little quirks and things to look out for that set her off. While we were gone we received daily updates with pictures showing off how much fun she was having at the park. Will definitely book with them again next time we go out of town!”
“Hannah was amazing. She let us visit twice before the stay so that Happy would be comfortable. Happy stayed over Thanksgiving, but Hannah sent me videos and pictures every day. I recommend her sitting service 100%.”
“Liz was outstanding! She really cared and connected With Ace and Flynn. She shared their adventures and made great observations about them. I really felt so comfortable leaving them in her care! Highly recommend!”
“Rob is just wonderful with our nearly 12 y/o dog! Our Simba just loves seeing Rob and his entire family, both the walks and the cuddle time on the sofa. We don’t leave Simba behind often but when we do, we hope Rob is available.”
“Guillermo took care of our dog Amos for nine days. He was an exceptional care provider. He went above and beyond taking Amos to the vet, giving his prescribed medication and even returning to the vet for a refill. Amos had plenty of walks. We received many pictures of Amos which my family really enjoyed. I would definitely re-book with Guillermo.”
“We were pleased with the care that Colby received from Luciana and her mom. He was well taken care of and got plenty of walks during his 5 day stay. We loved seeing the photos of him too while we were away!”
“Natasha and Jonathan were great. Regular updates with photos, my dog Petra clearly had a great time and was happy and excited to spend time with each of them before we left.”
“Elizabeth and Neil took great care of our dog Ollie. They sent lots of updates, photos, and videos and we could see that Ollie was having a great time with their two pups! We would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I have been getting Yesika’s help for over a year now and my dog loves her to death. She is so accommodating and loving for both my dog and my unpredictable schedule. Cannot recommend enough!”
“Wendy is wonderful. She really loves the dogs and we felt right at home the moment we walked in. She will take great care of your dog and know that you can enjoy being away while your pet is getting lots of love. ”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have experience with both dogs and cats. I volunteered at the SPCALA animal shelter for several years, helping care for animals of all ages and personalities. I grew up with two cats and have also fostered pets, giving me experience helping animals adjust to new environments. I had a beloved dog who lived into her 20s, and my family recently foster-failed our newest dog. After recently moving to the area, I'm away from my dog and definitely missing having animals around every day. Caring for pets brings me so much joy, and I would love the opportunity to give your pets the same love, attention, and care that I've always given my own. I am currently on summer break from my teaching position and working remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. Because my work is portable, I can be available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship during hours when many sitters may be unavailable. My schedule allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care rather than just quick check-ins. As a teacher, I am responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and comfortable following routines, all of which translate well to providing dependable care for your pets. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I live in a spacious apartment in a safe, pet-friendly neighborhood near a lake, which provides a great environment for walks, exercise, and enrichment. Potty breaks are easy and frequent since I live on the second floor with quick access outside. I make sure pets have plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, feeding according to their schedule, and lots of affection. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I am happy to follow any instructions regarding routines, medications, exercise, training, or special care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect and care that I would my own.
“Janette and her family were so welcoming and loving with my dog, Ridley. We got lots of updates and photos of her enjoying her stay, and felt completely at ease leaving her in their care.”
“Alex was amazing! Our friend couldn't take our 14yo poodle over the weekend due to a previous commitment, we had a conference to attend and time was running out. I found Rover.com and thought we'd see what it was all about. Thankfully the stars aligned and Alex's profile popped up as being close by and he was available. We scheduled a call to talk about Lucky. It was important to us to find the right fit for our 14 yo rescue. Once I read through Alex's reviews and talked to him, I knew he was definitely the perfect fit for us and Lucky. We set a visit so they could meet prior to our trip and Lucky immediately felt comfortable with Alex. Alex sent updates several times a day and a video of Lucky playing and going for a walk. He knew it was really me that was the nervous one ☺. Lucky had the time of his life, made a new friend and we definitely have Alex on speed dial now. Being able to find someone your dog immediately feels comfortable with takes a weight off your shoulders and knowing they're in good hands and having fun allowed us to attend our conference without worry. Thank you Alex - you rock!”
“Katherine was wonderful with my dog! We did a meet and greet before the stay and my dog was so excited to see her when I dropped her off for the extra long weekend! I would highly recommend Katherine!”
“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”
“Jennifer and her family were so wonderful. They provided a lovely and safe home for Walter while we were on vacation. Her dog Molly even taught our dog good manners. Highly recommended!!!”
“Samantha is fantastic. She gave us plenty of updates and cute pictures, responded to our messages very quickly, and was super accommodating. Rooster is going to be a repeat guest. He was very well cared for and I would 100 percent recommend Samantha.”
“Mars had a wonderful time with Ann & Jim! They sent lots of photos, took him on adventures at the fells and walks featuring lots of fetch! He was happy to be there and came home tired and happy 🤗”
Wakefield pet parents share their Rover experiences
Deb was an excellent sitter for my dog Rocky. She was very communicative and kept us informed. She sent us home with a gift for my soccer playing pup that was sweet and unexpected. Her yard is beautiful and she is very active with her charges. Highly recommend! We be rebooking.
Left Reggie while we were overseas and was 100% confident that he was in good hands and having a good time. He's can be kind of hesitant, but Belinda was in tune with him and very aware of how he and the other dogs interacted with one another, and she genuinely seems to really like having the pups around. Her house is a great setup, with a fenced in yard and lots of space indoors for multiple dogs to be there at the same time. Will absolutely leave Reg with her again!
Heather took great care of my goldendoodle (Riva) for a weekend. Heather was very communicative and shared pictures and updates throughout the stay, and it was comforting to see Riva looking so relaxed and at home. She seemed to fit right into Heather's family! I would definitely recommend Heather to others.
Booking with Noila was a great experience. She took amazing care of our two cats, kept us updated with cute photos every day, and was highly communicative. It’s such a relief to know your pets are in good, capable hands. We will definitely be reaching out to her again for future needs!
Everything went absolutely wonderfully with Olivia and Adam. We left our dog Chelsie with them for a long stay of about 2.5 weeks, and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Chelsie can be a bit anxious when staying with someone new, and to be honest, we were anxious too. We know all the little quirks and routines of our dog, but of course it’s impossible to explain every tiny detail ahead of time. Still, they handled everything incredibly well and made her feel comfortable very quickly. They constantly sent photos and updates, which I was extremely grateful for because it allowed us to actually relax and enjoy our trip without worrying. It was very clear from the updates that Chelsie was happy, comfortable, and having her own little vacation. At one point we joked that she might not even want to come back home after staying with them. Highly recommend them, especially if you’re nervous about leaving your dog for a longer stay.
For the past few years, I've been so lucky to be able to trust Carol with Copper when I have to travel. She has taken such good care of him every time, keeping me updated with lots of pictures and any concerns. While this is the last time I will be able to hire Carol to dogsit, as Copper and I are moving to California, we wish we could take her with us. It's going to be hard to find someone to do nearly as good of a job! You will be very missed!
Courtney is amazing! She watched our boy Brody for 3 nights and we couldn’t be happier with her care. She has a kind nature and I felt instantly comfortable with her. She took him for multiple walks each day and sent us many pics and updates. He was even sad when we left her, which was a true sign he was in good hands. We will hire Courtney again without hesitation!
Luke is amazing! This was our third time leaving our pup Peanut with Luke and Peanut had a great time. Luke took Peanut on a winter hike and cared for him so well. We are grateful that Luke was available given how much our pup loves staying at Luke’s. Our pup literally ran to Luke when we dropped him off :) thanks again Luke for taking such good care of Peanut and for sending regular updates :)
Katia is an excellent caregiver. She kept us well-informed about how our dog, Riker, was doing multiple times a day, including photos and videos. She asked all the right questions, and she didn't flinch at taking care of an old, 13-year-old border collie who can be an extreme challenge for others (including us). I would highly recommend her and I hope Riker can stay with her in the future.
