“Tatum is a wonderful pet sitter! It is so nice to be able to travel and have peace of mind that your pets are well taken care of. She sends photos and texts daily, which is very much appreciated. I will definitely be reaching out to Tatum the next time we travel.”
“Allison was a wonderful house-sitter in every way! She was patient and skilled with our three pups. She followed all of our care instructions, sent frequent photos and updates, and asked questions as needed. We could tell that our pups quickly were comfortable with Allison, so we were able to enjoy our weekend away. We returned to happy dogs, and our house was as tidy and clean as when we left. We will definitely use Allison again!”
“Angel did a wonderful job with house sitting/pet sitting for me for a week. Plenty of updates and pictures and clear communication. She went above and beyond for my boys and I am very grateful. I will definitely be using her services in the future and would definitely recommend Angel if you want peace of mind while you're away from your pets.”
About: • Dogs, cats, barnyard buddies • Special needs (blind, diabetic, trouble walking)) • Quirky behaviors welcome • Puppies that need lots of potty breaks are no problem I am 54, married, retired, and am available 24/7. When not pet-sitting, I care for three dogs at home, plus two sheep and two goats. I will keep your home in great condition, cleaning up after your pets and leaving no trace that I was there. I bring my own snacks!
“Ella was excellent watching my 3 dogs. She stayed at my house while I was away. She spoiled my babies and they loved her. Highly recommend. She sent photos frequently and stayed in contact with me. When I arrived home there were fresh cut flowers and fresh eggs (She also watched chickens and ducks) i am thankful I found Ella. Thank you for doing a wonderful job.”
“Maura was a wonderful house/animal sitter. She gave us updates with pictures throughout our weeklong vacation & left our home in pristine condition. It’s always hard to leave your “babies” behind but having Maura there really gave us a sense of relief. We would highly recommend her and have already booked with her again!”
“First time Rover user and first time leaving our puppy home alone with someone for more than an hour or so. Deborah came with confidence and made us feel very much at ease. Took care of our puppy well and had no issues. Would highly recommend.”
“Yolena was a life saver and was able to watch my cat even though the request was very last minute. She kept me updated and sent pictures letting me know how my cat was doing. Great communication as well! Highly recommend!”
“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”
“By far the best sitter we have ever had! We were in a pinch when we got scammed from another sitter, and we asked Meghan to watch our pups last minute for 9 days. She quickly accepted and came over the same day we contacted her. She was great with our home and our dogs…she sent daily updates, checked our mail, and even cleaned the house up a bit. Such a great sitter, we will always see if she is available first from now on! Thank you Meghan!!”

About: I've had dogs all my life as pets. From wiener dogs to pitt bulls to mutts, and I've LOVED THEM ALL. I've recently divorced and moved to an apartment and my ex has our dogs. This is the first time in my life when I haven't had dogs to play with or take care of, so I miss it. This is the perfect opportunity to get some of that back. I work full-time in medical manufacturing from 6am-4pm,with an hour lunch, Monday- Friday, no weekends. Morning time potty and feeding, lunchtime potty break and/or walk, and an evening time feeding with outdoor walk and/or indoor exercise. When I had my own dogs, I would feed them in the morning and take them outside to potty before going to work. My ex wife worked from home, so I didn't need to go home for lunch to attend them. When I got home in the evening I would feed them and take them on a walk around my neighborhood, about an 30 to 45 minutes. Then we'd just sit on the couch and cuddle, watch TV or play around with some of their toys. I took them out again before I went to bed for the evening around 10 or 11pm.
“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”
About: I have been pet sitting for family members, friends and even people recommending me to others since I was 15! I would love to watch your animals as well!! I also work at an animal eye doctor that I have been at for over 2 years now and love it! I’m not afraid of any animal or task and would totally enjoy the time to get to know your lovely pets :) I currently work for an animal eye doctor 5 days a week so I am looking for someone that needs me for the weekend! I can do drop ins after 6 or even early in the mornings before 7 if needed. I also want to offer dog walking on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday. I cannot take pets into my home because it would not work with my pets at home but I am comfortable staying at others homes to care for their animals and any other house tasks such as watering plants or any other job I am put up to!
