“We have booked Natalie multiple times now for house sitting our two fur babies! She’s always wonderful with them, texts updates, and leaves our house in great condition.”
“She was amazing, was able to book her last minute and she was very good with communication. She sent photos and videos while she was over watching our dog and even left a note! Would highly recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
About: To put it simply, caring for animals is my life's passion; I would love to take care of your pet like they're my own. I am a highly experienced career pet care professional, currently working at Kitty Co Cat Rescue, with prior experience working at Fido and Friends. I provide the highest level of compassionate care, with a deep understanding of animal behavior and the importance of providing patience and love while caring for animals. I have hands-on experience supporting daily pet care, kennel sanitation, and medication routines. I am trained in administering oral medications, transdermal medications (for cats only), fluids, temperature checks, vaccines, oxygen support, and breathing treatments. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a lot of flexibility and availability for pet care. I am available for overnight pet sitting primarily on weekends. I am highly responsible and detail-oriented when it comes to pet and home care. My professional training in veterinary support allows me to provide the highest level of safety for your animal
“My first time using Ericka to watch my dog Toby and I'm very pleased with the job she did. She sent me pictures of Toby each day which I enjoyed receiving. Toby requires eye drops 5 times per day so it's a bit of work to care for him. Also pleased that the house was in good order when I returned. I hope to use Ericka again in the future.”
“Connor (CK) took great care of Roxy while we were out of town for 3 days. He took her on walks and to the dog park, and provided lots of attention. He followed our instructions and took good care of our home. He sent pics and a report each day. She was calm when we got back home — a sure sign that she was well cared for.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and pet sat since I can remember. I’ve helped train puppies, care for elderly dogs, and have provided the same love and care for all of the furry friends that I would for my own! I am comfortable around all dogs and cats and am willing to adapt and learn how to best take care of your animal. I work a typical 8-hour day in the city, but am happy to work around my work schedule to give your animal the care that they need. I follow directions, put things back where I found them, and don’t go looking in places I wasn’t invited. I will make sure everything is clean and tidy before I leave!
“Lyla went above and beyond for our two dogs (mini poodle and pitbull mix) while we were away for a long weekend. She came to meet them a few days before we left and took them on a walk so they could acclimate to her. She kept us updated with messages and pictures, took them on two walks per day, did tricks with them, and kept them safe and entertained the whole weekend. We'll absolutely be booking with her again!!”
“Heather was absolutely amazing from her meet & greet many months ago to the end of her stay last week. Our sassy senior poodle can be a little grouchy & a picky eater, but he warmed up to her so quickly. She followed all instructions for his care and the care of our home perfectly and then some - she really went above & beyond. Her updates and photos were super cute & made us feel at ease. We returned to everything just as we had left it, and most importantly, a very happy dog. Thanks Heather!!”
“Milica was amazing with our babies! They seemed like they had so much fun while we were gone and were so grateful to be able to stay in their home together. She left everything neat and tidy and we will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“Matthew stayed at my house with my dog and he did an excellent job. My pup got all his walks in and the comfort of being home. Matthew was responsible and respectful. He communicated clearly and sent pictures throughout the weekend. I hope he is available next time I travel and need sitting services!”
“Mary was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of my two Dachshunds and treated them like they were her own. Her professionalism and clear communication gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear that her experience really shows—she knew exactly how to keep my pups happy and comfortable. I would definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
“The best pet sitter we’ve ever had (in over 10+ years)! She was very communicative and I felt very at ease knowing our fur babies were in good hands. 100% recommend and will be using her again.”
“Absolutely amazing! Nikki surpassed every hope I had for a dog sitter. My dog Charlie was absolutely the happiest dog. She sent pictures and videos and he was so well taken care of. I will would recommend her to absolutely everyone”
“Good communication, kind, considerate. She went above and beyond to make sure my "non-traditional" pets also had water in addition to my cat. She was respectful of my house, and I will be requesting her services again in the future!”
“I had a great experience with Mike. He stayed at my house with Hank and took excellent care of him. I also came home to a very clean house, which is really appreciated. Reliable, respectful, and great with dogs. 10/10 recommend. Will book again.”
“Gabriella took very good care of Poppy while we were out of town for a few days! Very good communication. Super easy to schedule an initial meet and greet. Poppy loved Gabriella’s vibe from the start. Thank you!!”
“Maddi was amazing! She sent plenty of photos and was very communicative. She was extremely flexible and accommodating as I had to add an extra day on to the original stay, and I am so grateful for all of her help. When I came home, my pets were all super happy and in great moods!!”
“Meghan is excellent! She communicated with me throughout my entire trip to let me know how everything was going. My Maisie has a bit of anixiety and Meghan did a fantastic job with her. Everything was great!”
“Christine always takes the best care of Phoebe and Lauren, they are happy and content when I return, I always get pictures of the good time they have while I am gone. This is the third time Christine has taken care of Phoebe and she can be a handful, but Christine handles it all with all smile!! Thank you for being great! We have already booked our next trip, it is so easy to know Christine is in control.”

I am very happy I chose Mamie to dogsit my Rosie for my week long vacation. She sent regular updates about Rosie’s mood, activities and cute little anecdotes, as well as lots of pictures. Besides the updates Mamie was quick to reply to messages and was even so kind as to pick up a refill that Rosie needed. I would definitely rebook her :)
Madison was absolutely amazing with our dog Tato! She was very communicative the entire time from before the booking to during and on our way home. She completely catered to our his needs and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her! I already booked with her again!
There is no rating high enough for Sarah. From pre-booking to the home visit, to watching our home and our fur babies while we were on vacation, Sarah was amazing. Her situation was unique that in addition to taking care of our adult cats, we asked her to take care of a (somewhat friendly) mama cat and her 5 week old kittens. Sarah graciously offered her time for 24/7 care. And of course, just when we thought all was going smoothly, a hornet appeared in our finished basement which is unusual. This is where mama and babies are located. Then another one appeared - VERY unusual. When the third one appeared, not so far from the kittens, Sarah sprang into action and, together, we figured out a safe solution to draw any potential bees inside the home to outside the home. Sarah was a real trooper and took care of the home and pets like they were her own. No more bees appeared and life returned to “normal”. Well, as normal as can be for a home with cats and kittens. I can vouch for Sarah and she will be our first choice for future house and pet care needs. Sarah is friendly, trustworthy, and an excellent communicator and our fur babies loved her.
Matthew is quite simply the GOAT. It was our very first booking with him and our plans unfortunately kept changing chaotically, yet throughout scheduling updates and frantic messaging on our part, the only thing he cared about was making sure he was a good fit for our dogs. That has never happened before in our time on Rover. His communication, understanding, and calm demeanor during our Meet and Greet earned immediate trust from both us AND our dogs. the entire booking + stay it felt like his priority was making sure both we and our dogs felt comfortable and cared for. Matthew has set the tone for the kind of care we’d want in any future booking and we’d trust him with our pets again in a heartbeat <3
Olivia was WONDERFUL with our girl (2.5 yo Staffy, LeiLei). Through the regular pictures OIivia sent us over the course of our two and a half week trip, we could tell LeiLei was healthy and happy which enabled us to enjoy our trip without any worries. Olivia also took great care of our house and left everything spic and span, and in perfect condition on our return. We will absolutely rebook with Olivia next time we have plans to go away.
Chelsea took care of our dog and two cats recently and did an amazing job. She really goes above and beyond and I will definitely ask Chelsea to help out again. Our animals have unique needs and Chelsea was able to do it all, the animals also had a great time with her!
Erika was wonderful! This was the first time she sat for our dogs, and we were so pleased with how it went! She was caring, communicative, professional, and our dogs loved her. We will definitely ask her to sit again. A great experience overall. Thank you, Erika!
Riley stayed with our 2 dogs (one elderly and mellow, the other young and energetic) and our older cat for 10 days. She walked the dogs daily, kept them fed and medicated, and provided regular updates. She is super reliable, and the pets love her. We hope to have her back for our next trip!
