About: I’ve been looking after fluffy frens of all shapes and sizes from a young age. My time doing a full house/dog sitting gig was for my grandparents and their French bulldog, Sugar (miss you, Sugs!). Since then I have been the go-to for my friends and family for taking care of their for legged family. I make sure your fury family gets the love and care they need, whether you just have one smol dog or a pack of greyhounds. I currently had a stretch of rough health luck, but my ails are your pups gain! I’m currently on the mend, and it’s going well, but between jobs, so my schedule is wide open. I’ll have the time to give your pups the TLC they deserve! Currently unavailable to board pets at my house, but I will make sure to treat all pets in a safe and caring way. I’ll treat them like a newborn baby, because hey, in a way they are!
“Alex is great with animals, respectful, kind, caring and compassionate. She is great with communication and made me feel like my pets were being well cared for. Highly recommend!”
About: Iv had dogs ever since i can remember. iv taken care of all kinds of dogs including bulldogs, boston terriers, labs, golden retrievers, great danes, german shepards, and weimaraners I am currently in my senior year of high school and playing varsity soccer but am available all day every weekend. I start school at 8 am and get out at 1 pm every day leaving time to take care of animas before soccer from 3:45-5:30 and I am free the rest of the night At my house my dogs both use an invisible fence butI have taken care of dogs who had yard fences, needed to be out on a leash, needed to be in a creat, needed supervision outside or didn’t !
“Madeline watched Cleo over Memorial Day Weekend! She sent lots of updates, made sure Cleo got her medicine every day, and was comforted with the right resources. She was super attentive and really neat with our home and definitely would trust her to watch Cleo again!”
“We had Keisha stay for a 7 day sit for our dog and cat. Keisha was incredible and everything we could have ever wanted in a sitter! She sent us updates at least daily, sometimes more with pictures which is what we requested! I made an error and she was flexible with adding another day to her stay! Could not recommend her enough, we will definitely use her again in the future!!”
“Angela did a great job making my dog feel comfortable while I was not home, My little dog is very afraid of storms and Angela was great at staying with her and making her feel as comfortable as possible during the storms. She communicated with me to let me know Zara was doing well. I would defiantly use her again to take care of my dog”
“Kelsey took amazing care of my 3 pups for 4 nights/5 days. She was very patient with my rescue who is afraid of his own shadow and eventually won his trust. She took wonderful care of my house too — when I arrived home, it was immaculate, and my 3 dogs were happy and healthy! Highly recommend!!”
“Melissa is, simply put, AMAZING!!!! She took incredible care of our nearly 15 year old dog who is very sweet, but requires quite a bit of assistance. We came home to a clean house and a very happy hound! Best of all, we were able to truly relax on our vacation, knowing that everything was taken care of in our absence. 100/10! 😊”
“Patricia was great with Jeter! He was very well taken care of and she shared pictures with us while we were away. We will definitely rebook with her in the future!”
“Thomas did a great job taking care of our boys. The dogs got plenty of attention and exercise. He kept the boys on their regular schedule and checked in often with pictures and updates. We hope to book again in the future.”
“Julianna Stayed in my house for five nights/six days and took excellent care of my large, high-energy Siberian Husky. It can be hard to find a trustworthy house/dog sitter sitter outside of personal friends and family, but I couldn’t have been more satisfied.”
About: I've been around dogs all my life and love giving them plenty of play time and attention. I also just recently gained experience with puppies. They are my favorites 🙂↕️ Availability: Wednesday: 8am to 10:30am/ 5pm to 10pm Thursday: 5pm to 10pm Open availability on Friday, Saturday and Sunday If you have any questions or requests outside of my schedule, I will do my best to work with you. I am a student in college currently. I typically do drop ins, I feed according to how the owner wants their pet fed, I play with them as much as possible and give plenty of love and attention
“Another great experience with Jenn!! Came home to a happy pup and tiddy home. In addition, I was out of town and a snow storm hit! My flight was cancelled. Jen was a saint for being able to take care of my dog with my extended leave.”
“Scott really helped us out with a week of drop-in visits for our two dogs, one of which is rather unpleasant with strangers. He also agreed to oversee our coop of chickens which was very helpful. Scott was accomodating and generally a good communicator, and the pups seemed to like him. I think he did a fine job. We would definitely work with Scott again.”
“Amber is fantastic! Very reliable, sends photos of our fur babies and updates throughout her stay. She is a great house sitter and leaves our home as it was when we left. I highly recommend Amber if you are in need of a caring, considerate, and excellent communicator to watch your dogs. 🐕 🐾🩵”
“Jackie was great. This was our first time having someone come to our house to watch our (almost) 11 year old chocolate lab. He can be finicky and has pretty strong anxiety, but Jackie was great with updates, and when we came home, Otis seemed in great shape...much better than taking him somewhere else. Would highly recommend Jackie, especially to anyone who is new to Rover and unsure of whether or not to book.”

Emily was awesome! She provided great updates throughout our trip and took excellent care of our four pets and our home. It was clear she treated them like they were her own, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Emily and would gladly work with her again in the future.
Ivy was the absolute best person to watch our blue heeler, Ringo! We had never left him with anyone other than family before, but Ivy made us feel so calm and confident, sending updates every day and taking Ringo on so many fun adventures. We felt so relieved knowing he was in such good hands and having the time of his life while we were away for 10 days. Words can’t express how grateful we are that our fur baby was so well-loved and taken care of💖
As with last time, everything was perfect! Amazing communication throughout the stay. Sharing everything from updates on our moody dog’s tummy issues to funny anecdotes! Even our most shy cat deems Emily a quality caretaker! So much so that he makes his presence known and allow for pets!
Cindy took care of our dog Frankie and our house and is hands down the best Rover experience we have ever had!!! After our meet and greet we knew Frankie and our house were being left in good hands. We returned home without having anything to worry about thanks to Cindy! She is booked for our next trip! She is absolutely wonderful!
Emma was a wonderful dog sitter for our 2 small dogs. Emma took care of dogs like they were her own, she shared timely updates and beautiful pictures. She stayed at our house for a week while we were out of the country, when we returned the house was spotless and our babies were so happy. I highly recommend Emma and will definitely book her again.
Ilya did a wonderful job watching my pup Val and cat Roara while I was on vacation! Provided updates each day and was patient with my pup who can sometimes take a while to warm up to people! She was Ilya's biggest fan in no time, lots of play and belly rubs! I would highly recommend!
Cary was an excellent dog sitter! She cared for my dog for 7 days while I was out of the country, and this was my first time being away from my dog. She was very thoughtful about sending regular updates throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. Cary stayed at my home and took great care of both my dog and my space. She kept everything clean and even washed my sheets before I returned, which I truly appreciated after a long day of traveling. It’s clear she genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
