“Highly recommend Maddie! She was fantastic with my elderly dog, Oliver, who has separation anxiety. During our initial visit, she was wonderful with him and asked detailed questions to understand his needs. Throughout my entire work trip, Maddie was highly communicative and sent regular photo updates, giving me total peace of mind. I returned to a clean house and a very comfortable, happy dog. It is rare to find someone who provides this level of specialized care, patience, and affection. I will absolutely use Maddie again!”
“I highly recommend Destiny. She house sat for our dog Katie, who is a little shy. Destiny did a wonderful job making Katie feel comfortable and they quickly became good friends. Destiny is very contentious about her job and kept us up to date on how things were going. And she left our house spick and span. We will absolutely have Destiny watch Katie again.”
“Ryan was amazing!! Wonderful communicator!! Sent pics and kept me updated which makes me feel such comfort! House was left even cleaner than I left it too. Such a kind person I can’t wait to book again! Thank you!!”
“Extremely professional and knowledgeable pet/house sitter. Our dog didn't even miss us! House spotless upon return. Excellent communication throughout 10 day sit. Would definitely use again.”
“Megan was our house sitter and cared for our two dogs and a cat for a long weekend. She was great - the puppies and kitty were well cared for and the house was perfect when we got home. Everyone was happy. 💕 We’ll ask Megan to come back again. Thanks!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.
“Celine was a very gracious sitter, taking her time with our pets and giving them the patience they needed while we were out of town. It was our first time having someone sit over and she's set the bar extremely high! Thank you again, Celine!”
About: I am a pre-vet college student looking to spend some time taking care of people's furry friends this summer. I have basic animal first aid training, I am pretty well versed in senior care in cats (having had a few of my own), and I LOVE working with/training puppies and young dogs. I'm happy to work with any age, size, energy level, and temperament of animal -- just tell me their favorite treat and we'll get along great :) I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! My rates are negotiable, especially since I'm new to Rover. Message me if you have questions! I'm home for the summer, so excluding a few one-time conflicts, I'm free and clear! I would be happy to set up a repeating walk schedule. I'm happy to work around any comfort level your pet has with new people. I'd prefer to do a meet and greet before taking them out for the first time, just to make sure that your furry friend is comfortable with me (or has at least met me) before we spend some time together.
“Ashton was a great sitter for our dog and cat while we traveled out of town for a few days. My dog can be a bit anxious so it’s always a bit nerve wrecking leaving her with someone else but Ashton was up for the challenge and my anxious girl warmed right up to her. She even made an extra trip over during the day when my dog was having a little bit of a panic moment. Will definitely use her again!”
“Brett was wonderful watching our girl Layla for 5 days at our house. We appreciated her daily updates that kept us in the loop and we loved the cute pics she sent. The house was left just as we left it when we came back.”
“John was an awesome pupsitter and we would definitely hire him again! He was communicative, thorough, and very attentive to our 2 dogs over the course of the week that he watched them. Highly recommend him!”
“Sami was such a fantastic sitter for our dog Darwin- someone who is communicative, responsible and extremely flexible. Sami gave our pup everything he needed, including meds, and she kept us informed of any issues. We’ll definitely be booking Sami again!”
“Sarah helped us out at the last minute and was amazing!!! We got updates and our animals were well cared for and happy campers when we got home!!! The house was well taken care of too!! We will definitely have her stay with our fur babies again!!! Highly recommend!!!”
“Meagan was amazing!! Mid-way through a trip, I needed a new dog-sitter ASAP. Meagan was quick to respond and helped me get it all set up! She gave me such piece of mind that my babies were safe and taken care of with her and I couldn’t be more thankful. She stayed in my home for one night and when I came back, the entire place was picked up amazingly and you could tell the respect she had for it. She’s great about communication and I plan to book her over and over again!!”
“Elise was awesome with Oakie! I got updates regularly and I can tell Oakie had a good time. The house was also very clean upon our return which is always nice coming home from a trip. Would work with Elise again for sure!”
“You step through the door with a whispering grace, A gentle smile, a warm embrace. Soft paws dance at the sound of your feet, A love so quiet, yet pure and sweet. By moonlight or sun, through purrs and sighs, You soothe their hearts with tender ties. A careful touch, a voice so low, A world of trust begins to grow. And though you leave when duty ends, In feline hearts, you’re more than a friend. For love lingers where kindness stays, A cat sitter’s warmth in golden rays”

“Everything went really smoothly with Meagan” said Clover when being interviewed after the weekend. “Belly rubs, treats and cuddles were top notch. Though the guy that normally rubs my belly wasn’t hear, I barely even noticed since Meagan was clearly a pro. She took care of me and my little heart condition awesomely”, she continued. From that guy that is normally around, thanks for making that part of my quick weekend away stress free.
Elise was wonderful. There were a few bumps in the road the first day (on my side) she handled calmly and effortless. I came home to a very happy dog (she is a rescue and not happy being left alone so when she was not anxious when I got back that is a plus) and my house was spotless.
Tiffany was an amazing caretaker for our two cats and two dogs while we were away for a week. She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and truly got to know our pets. She followed their routine and made them feel safe and happy. She comforted the nervous pups through fireworks AND thunder in one night (the horror!!!) and left the house super tidy. We definitely hope to have her back!
Kari did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Butters! She took care of his medical needs and was very good at communication, providing us routine updates and photos. She also left the house clean, which was greatly appreciated. We would be happy to have Kari back to help us out in the future and highly recommend her!
Viva is the absolute best!! I am so grateful to have found her and cannot recommend her enough. It’s such a relief to know your dog is not only in caring, knowledgeable hands but is also having the most fun day!! Our pup absolutely adores her. We appreciate all the picture updates she sends, her flexibility, clear communication, and her incredible positive energy.
Samantha did such a great job taking care of the dogs! Walking, snuggling, doing meds and generally helping them feel like they were home (they were!) and nothing had really changed (except I wasn't there). She sent me pictures of them so I could feel connected.
Justin was an absolute treasure! I came home to a very happy and tired little man. Justin was incredible at keeping me updated on the adventures of the day. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety and Justin was very patient with Uncle Peanut after I left and managed to comfort him quickly. I cannot recommend him enough!!!!!
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Lydia! She kept us updated the whole time with pictures and messages, and it was obvious our dog was so loved and well cared for while we were away. Super reliable, kind, and easy to communicate with. We came home to a happy pup and total peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
