“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”
“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.”
“Mia was awesome when she stayed at our house to watch our 2 dogs. She sent updates and pictures, and made sure they were well taken care of all weekend! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! My dogs seemed so happy with her!”
“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”
“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”
“Katharine was great! She followed the instructions we left, kept all of the animals happy and our home was left in great shape. We appreciated all of her updates throughout the day and spending time at the house so that our puppy was able to play and run around while we were away. We’d absolutely hire her again.”
“Valerie was the best pet sitter we have had. She took great care of our 3 dogs and cat. Usually when we get back they are so relieved for us to be home but I think they missed Valerie which makes me happy. I would highly recommend her. Our dogs can be at times a little much and a little overwhelming, but she took care of them great.”
“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”
“Emma helped out at the last minute when the original plan fell through and I needed someone before an important weekend out of town! She took great care of Finley and he was extremely happy!”
“Brianna took great care of our Princess Potato “Pinky” She is a great communicator always letting us know how things are going and sending pictures. I would recommend Brianna to anyone wanting a trustworthy, kind dog lover to care for your beloved pet.”
“Ella took amazing care of our pets while we were out of town for 10 days. She sent us several pictures and short updates about the games our dogs played each day. She followed all our instructions, and we could see how happy our girls were with her. She stayed in our home the entire time, and when we returned, the house was spotless. She even left a thoughtful handwritten note on the kitchen counter summarizing how our pets behaved, what they did, and a few details about her stay and our home. We highly recommend Ella for pet and house sitting, and we will definitely contact her again the next time we’re out of town. Thanks again, Ella!”

I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.
“Christina did a good job with my dog. She was responsive and checked for my expectations. She also was flexible to handle some meds admin that had to get added to the task list at the last minute. I would recommend her to others.”
“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”
“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!”
“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”
“Brooke did an amazing job taking care of my pups! She made sure they got plenty of exercise daily before all the rain during my trip. She provided pictures and videos to show me they were doing great. I definitely recommend her and will be rebooking for future needs.”
About: I grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.
About: I'm the girl who stops you on your walk and asks to pet your dog. I love interacting with animals of all types. I enjoy nature and all things living, as well as cuddling on the couch with furbabies. I have two small, well behaved dogs that I've trained myself, and am comfortable with all breeds. We love to go on nature walks and interact with other dogs (my dogs are very social and love making new friends). I have superior attention to detail and I pride myself in doing the best I can. I have previous pet sitting experience for large dogs in a large scale home and am comfortable taking on any task. I work as an after school teacher for fourth graders, so this is my main source of employment. Let me show you what I can do!

Hunter L.
“I highly recommend Hunter for anyone looking for safe, loving care for their pets. Hunter has cared for my dog several times, and I’ve always felt confident that they would provide not only excellent care but also a warm, attentive environment. Hunter goes above and beyond, not just by meeting my pet’s needs, but by building a genuine connection with them. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending quality time, Hunter’s commitment to ensuring my pet feels loved and comfortable is evident. Beyond that, Hunter is an amazing human being—trustworthy, responsible, and always quick to respond with kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Hunter with my pets again and again.”
Red J.
“Red is a loving and trustworthy caregiver to all of my pets. She is playful and affectionate (which is my dog adores), concerned about the safety and well-being of my animals at all times, attentive to their needs (she can coax the shy kitty out for food and love), and calm and clear-thinking when there has been a problem with any of my pets. She provides regular updates when I'm gone (by phone, text, or email) , and I always rest easy knowing that Red is their sole caregiver. I use Red when I'm out of town (on weekends and vacation) as well as long days when I'm at work for too long. I can't recommend her enough for people like me, who don't have tons of time to screen everyone that is available, but want someone that they *know* will love their pets, keep them safe, and make life so much easier for their human parents. Red is the best of the best.”
West Wood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Casey was very accommodating to a last minute scheduling change, helped with Darci's new medication regimen, and cared for our dog while she was recovering from a knee injury. She even put the bins out for us since we would have missed the weekly pickup day. We received daily updates, pictures, and video, and the house was the same as we left it. I recommend this sitter.
Our pet sitting experience with Yolena was perfect! She came over to meet our dogs in to go over their care before hand. Updated us with how they were doing while we were gone, and we came back to happy healthy dogs, and a house that was just as we had left it. My husband and I noticed that both of our dogs actually walk better on their leashes after their time with her! She is so sweet and kind and we cannot wait to book with her again and we know our dogs feel the same way!
