“I can’t thank Roxanne enough for taking care of my fur-babies while I was out of the country! I have one grumpy cat and anxious dog and he made easy friends with them so easily. She handled my anxious baby amazingly and even went to the vet to get more medicine when there were more storms than I was prepared for with her medicine. The daily photos and updates were so reassuring. I had no worries while on vacation, and I couldn’t ask for more! I will certainly be looking for her again on any following trips.”

“Lulu was an amazing housesitter for our two kitties. The level of care and attention she provided far exceeded our expectations. We received regular updates and pics of our fur babies which really helped with our anxiety of leaving them behind. She is a very kind and caring person and our kitties just loved having her stay with them. I would highly recommend Lulu and I am so grateful we found her to help care for our kitties when we must be gone!!”

“Deidre was great! Took good care of my girls and my house. She kept me very informed and sent lots of pics. She went above and beyond. Would use her services again!”

“Erin was so excellent with our two doodles! She sent us plenty of updates to give us peace of mind, and although we did not ask her to clean, I’m pretty sure she did. Our home did not look like somebody had been here dog sitting/house sitting while we were gone. We will definitely check to see if Erin is available again if we need future dog care. 10/10 highly recommend!”

“Another 10 star performance by Abby! There are very few people we would trust with our animals and our house for a week while we traveled overseas— Abby is at the top of the list! We received daily updates/photos and she took great care of our boys. Excellent communicator before and during her stay which gives us peace of mind. House was immaculate when we got home. Thank you Abby!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and can’t imagine a home without them. Growing up with dogs taught me not only how to care for them, but also how to understand their unique personalities, needs, and routines. For the past 13 years, I’ve provided trusted pet and house sitting services for families, caring for pets as if they were my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I understand how important it is to maintain their routine, provide plenty of exercise and attention, and create a safe, comfortable environment while you’re away. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. Whether your pet needs long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply a familiar and caring presence, I’m committed to making sure they feel happy, loved, and well cared for. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in good hands. As a full-time artist, I have a flexible schedule and don’t work a traditional 9-to-5 job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, administering medications, or simply providing companionship and comfort. Because I work independently, I can be flexible with scheduling and am often available throughout the day for check-ins and updates. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I make it a priority to maintain their routines so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, and I always prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions closely so pets can stay in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. This includes feeding schedules, walks or litter box care, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific routines or preferences your pet is used to. I also focus on giving pets plenty of attention and companionship so they feel calm and secure while their owner is away. I’m very mindful of keeping the home clean and respecting the space, and I always provide updates so you know how your pet is doing. Whether it’s dogs or cats, my goal is to create a stress-free experience where your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for until you return.

“We were so happy to have Erika come stay with our dog! She was professional, easy to work with, and clearly loves taking care of dogs. She sent frequent photos and updates, and was quick to respond to our texts. And her flexible schedule meant our dog didn’t need to be left for any long stretches. We look forward to having Erika come back again!”

“Julia took excellent care of our girl. We made a last minute request for Julia to extend her stay and she was kind enough to accommodate. I would definitely recommend Julia for your pet sitting needs.”

“Emily took great care of our Westley. She sent me multiple updates and pictures every day which I really appreciated. My dog looked happy and relaxed when she was at our place.”

“Erin was an exceptional dog sitter. We asked her to stay with our dogs throughout the day, leaving only at night, and she was consistently reliable and present every day. One of our dogs has significant anxiety, and it was clear she felt comfortable and at ease with Erin, which meant a great deal to us. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands while we were away.”


“My girls LOVED having Jennifer stay with them when we went away for the long Thanksgiving weekend. The baby of my pack is usually quite shy around new people but she instantly fell in love with Jennifer. She did great with all 4 of our furbabies ... from 15 lbs to 150 lbs and 6 months to 17 years.”

“Stephanie was fantastic watching our French Bulldog! We got a number of updates and she went above and beyond. We very much appreciated her and will be using her again!”


“Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!”

“3rd time sitting for us and Zoey was familiar with him upon arrival. Lots of pictures which are appreciated. House was cleaned and sheets were washed and bed was remade. Highly recommend and look forward to using Randy again!”

“Sharon was amazing and I will 100% look to book with her again. I had planned to have her watch my dog from a Friday through Tuesday while on a vacation, but a family emergency ended my trip while I was traveling. Sharon was great to work with during this time, insisting that we modify the reservation to account for the shorter booking, all while sending pictures and videos of my dog—which my family and I really needed to see during an emotionally draining time. Otherwise, she just completely handled taking care of Teddy while I was gone, and I didn’t have to worry about a thing.”


“Lori was amazing - one of my dogs is very high-strung and barked when she first arrived, riling up my downstairs neighbors who complained to the condo management. She worked with the front desk and Pippin to quiet him down, and reassured me throughout the entire stay with regular pictures and feedback. I absolutely recommend her 100%.”

“Susannah stayed in our home with Phoebe and her dog Oliver. She left the house spotless and sent happy video of Phoebe every day with reassuring comments! I will definitely hire her again!”

About: When I was younger, we had a black lab named Maggie who loved roaming the farm land. My friend would always message me if I could watch his Golden Retriever if he goes out of town, which I have always said yes because he is a good boy! When my brother and his wife had their first born child, I took in my brother's dog Lemon. She uses the doggy door to let herself into the backyard that has a 6 foot privacy fence. I work as an engineer. I can work from home 2 days a week and can come home on lunch breaks easily since I am 25 minutes away from my office. I have a doggie door for bathroom breaks or could leave the doors open. I have a 6 foot privacy fenced yard and a companion for your dog! Also, two water bowls and 2 puzzle dog food bowls. Any dogs that my brother's wife couldn't host for Rover due to schedule conflicts, I would be more than happy to host!
“Rosemary was so great to work with! She communicated often, provided lots of adorable photos, and I returned to very happy pets. She was on time, took the time to get to know my anxious dog, and genuinely seemed to enjoy spending time with them. She left my house spotless when she left. I will definitely rebook with her!”

Waldo Homes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Deidre did a fantastic job of taking care of my dog Blaze and providing updates on how my pup was doing! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous about the process. Deidre was available for a meet and greet prior to accepting the house sitting request, which definitely helped me get comfortable. She sent photos and videos of Blaze playing fetch to brighten my days away (work trip) and confirmed I had made it home on the last day of my trip.

We have had Randy watch our puppy a few times now and we love him! He met her before their first sleepover and was very thorough with her intake so he knows all about her needs and our home. He also recommended we make a sitter cheat sheet which we have done and love, especially since she's a growing puppy and things are often changing. He always brings her a new little toy which she will proudly carry around and speak for days. He plays with her, walks her, loves on her, and let's her bask in the sunshine as much as her heart desires. He also fills out our dog log so we can keep track of all her activites and sends lots of photos so we don't miss her too much. We highly recommend Randy!

Kayla did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and texts, which was great peace of mind! It was obvious how comfortable our dog was with her, from the pictures of him totally relaxed with his belly in the air and how much fun he was having in the yard when we got home!

Emily was fantastic! We have a 2 year old golden retriever who is not only full of nonstop energy, but also has a long list of medications he needs to take throughout the day. Emily did a great job of managing his needs to make sure he was a happy, healthy pup while we were away for the weekend. She sent us great photos and kept us posted on his daily activities!

I recently had to go out of town for an extended business trip. Amber is always excellent with my dog start to finish! I get regular updates and photos and I can tell he was comfortable and well taken care of when I returned. I am always worried about my dog. Some might even call me a helicopter dog parent. But I find my mind more at ease when Amber watches my dog. I cannot express how thankful I am for her services and commitment to the health and happiness of my dog. Thank you, Amber!!

Aaliyah did wonderful with my older pittie when needing someone to watch her last minute. She was reliably on time for visits and took her on plenty of walks. She came by before to meet her and get to know the house. She provided timely updates and responses. Will definitely use Aaliyah again!
