“Geneva took wonderful care of my dog Zelee and was very attentive to her needs. I appreciated her sending me lots of photos, videos, and updates of Zelee during her stay with her! I would recommend her services and trust her to watch Zelee again in the future.”


“Aarti was amazing! Very knowledgeable and receptive. With her background in vet med, this eased my worries. She was attentive and loving to our two crazy, high energy, wack job Cattle Dogs. She made effort to expend energy safely going out at times when the NM heat wasn't too unbearable for them. She expressed love and concern for our dog's safety and happiness. She had an amazing idea to come to our home when we were getting ready to leave to assist our babies in their transition period. She sent cute pictures regularly and was phenomenal with her communication. I'm typically a super anxious worrywart but I found myself relaxing and enjoying my vacation because she put my mind at such ease. I will be booking her anytime we leave town! She's one in a million!”


“Brigit is the BEST. We have had her house sit with our dogs multiple times and we have been so grateful. She’s the sweetest person and i know she’s taking care of my dogs. We never have to worry when we are out of town. I got a ton of packages delivered while she stayed and she was amazing and made sure all of them were inside even though they were VERY heavy. We will continue to use Brigit anytime we need a dog/house sitter.”


“Jamie was amazing! She took great care of our Littles (2 chihuahuas). They were so content! She sent lots of photos every day and texted me often with reports. Highly recommend!”


“Rachel is wonderful in every way! She was so loving to our pup and checked in with us often to make sure were updated on his activity, medication, feedings, etc AND our house was left immaculate. We are already looking forward to her next visit.”


“Caitlin is awesome she is on time and very responsive to communication. She did a excellent job taking care of our older dog and also taking care of the house. We had a change in plans and she was able to accommodate the change no problem. Will definitely be using her in the future. If you want your animals taken care well book her.”


“I was very hesitant to have a stranger stay at our home with our girls….much less a stranger that I found on the internet. After reading Tracy’s profile, I felt that she was best suited for our girls and boy was I right! She took the time during our meet and greet to talk with me and get to know our girls. Throughout our trip she gave thorough updates and sent pictures to ensure everyone was good. We have a reactive dog and Tracy showed her grace and patience, and with her knowledge and experience she was a friend not foe by the end. We have always put off trips that come up because of the dogs and never feeling comfortable with anyone staying with them. This is definitely not the case anymore now that we have established a relationship with Tracy. I would recommend her a million times.”


“Rachel was amazing with my little dog and house. She sent updates, photos, and Lizzy appeared very comfortable with her. I would definitely work with Rachel again.”


“We're so appreciate and can't thank Skyler enough for watching our pups on short notice! The dogs and house were very well cared for, in great hands, and we'd highly recommend Skyler!”


“Reggie was fantastic! We have three dogs, including a very energetic and somewhat "naughty" 7 month-old puppy. Reggie took great care of all of them and dealt with puppy issues. She kept me very updated throughout the stay and included pictures of the pups, which was great. I will definitely be calling on her again in the future.”


“Allie provided outstanding care for my dogs while I was out of town. It’s clear that she genuinely loves animals and takes her responsibilities seriously. She was punctual, professional, and attentive to their individual needs. Throughout my time away, Allie kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which gave me real peace of mind. My dogs looked happy and well-cared for in every update. When I returned home, everything was clean, and both dogs were relaxed and content — a true sign of excellent care. I highly recommend Allie to anyone in need of a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”


“Toli is seriously the BEST!!! She is very cognizant of our pup kiddos’ daily details to help them feel as comfortable as possible! She was extremely communicative, kind, and in tune with the pups! Highly recommend to anyone! Thanks Toli!”



“It’s so hard to trust anyone with the most important creature in your life, but Erin made me feel at ease. She came and met my dog, worked slowly with her while she gained my dogs trust, and was extremely responsive and reliable. She and my dog became friends during my time away, and that shows me how trustworthy Erin really is. I appreciated the constant updates while I was away and will definitely be contacting Erin again in the future to help take care of my girl.”


“Rhiannon is a wonderful caretaker and human. She communicates clearly, is patient, compassionate, and follows through. It was clear that my dog felt loved, comfortable, and well cared for, and her timely updates gave me peace of mind (he is a senior dog). Thank you, Rhiannon - Raj surely hopes to see you again!”


“Kira was wonderful. She took very good care of our pups (and home) while we went out of town last minute. I truly appreciated the flexibility, communication and professionalism on her part. Our pups have a pretty good judge of character and they loved Kira!”


“Sheri did an excellent job taking care of our pets and home while we were out of the country for 2 weeks. From the beginning I appreciated her promptness and reliability when we scheduled talks or meetings. She was also very patient with me when I reviewed all the many details prior to our trip, as I was nervous we’d be leaving our home to a new pet sitter while we’d be so far away and in a much different time zone. I shouldn’t have worried- she handled it all like the pro that she is! Communication was excellent- she’d update me about our dog Moto and their walks but did not overly text. She asked questions when needed. She dealt with some less-than-ideal situations due to our home being in the mountains (wind and fire risks) but handled it all with grace! Most importantly she took great care of our dog, giving him his daily meds, walking him often and plenty, and occasionally taking him to doggie daycare instead of leaving him alone in the house (like we had requested.). She also took excellent care of the guinea pigs and turtles. She left our home clean which we greatly appreciated. Sheri is a truly considerate individual who we were so grateful to find and be able to trust with our home and pets. I won’t hesitate to use Sheri again and hope she can sit for us whenever we are out of town.”


About: Hi there 😄 I am an animal lover, highly responsible human, and am excited to meet and care for your fur babies! I grew up with cats my whole life, often multiple at a time (2-3). I have fostered and owned several dogs and puppies. I will care for your pets like they are my own, and as a pet owner and user of Rover myself, I fully understand the trust and responsibility involved in finding a high quality pet sitter. I am happy to be of service! I have experience with high energy dogs, senior dogs, and have puppy training expertise. I feel confident in understanding, bonding with, and caring for the unique needs of your pets. Since I own two dogs currently, (both very well behaved, super friendly and outgoing) your doggies will be in great company! I take my pups to the dog park at least 2-3 times per week, and usually do at least 1-2 big wilderness hikes as well weekly. I will gladly give your dogs an incredible fun adventure with our family, as well as lots of love and care. Of course, I am also happy to take your pups on solo walks or to certain locations if they do better on walks alone or have other specifications. I’ve grown up with cats since childhood and am very well versed in taking care of them too. I have years of experience house and cat sitting for friends and colleagues. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility during the week, as well as evenings and weekends. I already care for two dogs and would be happy to add to our little pack 😉 I have a backyard, access to many hikes and trails near my home, as well as some of the best dog parks in the area. Our family is often on the road traveling to new dog friendly trips and adventures!
