Julie was the best sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home to watch our beloved pup for almost two weeks. She provided updates every day, great photos, followed all instructions, coordinated with our neighbors, and left our home nice and clean. On top of that, we left for our wedding, and she even joined our Zoom so our pup could be a part of the wedding. Julie is a gem and recommend to anyone!!

Lizabethe did a great job taking care of my Cupid. She kept me updated daily and stayed at the house to keep him company. I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend using her as your dog sitter!

I can’t recommend Summar enough! She took care of my cat while I was out of town, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. Not only was she proactive about cleaning and keeping everything tidy, but she also paid close attention to his medication instructions, which was a huge relief. Knowing that she’s trained in pet CPR gave me extra peace of mind, and it’s clear she’s genuinely passionate about animal care. She even sent multiple photos and updates, so I never had to worry about how he was doing. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat, and I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!

Brenay was amazing! She took wonderful care of our little guy. After we booked her we learned that Dilly would need surgery before we left but Brenay stepped up to the challenge and was able to care for him and give him his medications while we were gone. She was very kind and communicative and left the house very clean. We will definitely use Brenay again!

About: I’m a caring, attentive, and dependable pet pal who understands that your furry friend is an extension of your family and should feel safe, happy, and loved. My two years of pet care experience include, walking & feeding and playing & conversing with dogs, cats, and even fish for relatives and clients alike. I’m currently working freelance gigs while seeking full-time employment (former federal government employee here 🙋🏽‍♀️), so my schedule is very flexible weekday mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can also manage Saturdays with a sufficient heads up. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, and then apply that knowledge with care, so they feel comfortable and relaxed.

I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️

About: Growing up I help take care of just about every indoor pet you can think of. Taking the time to make an animal feel safe is my specialty. My favorite way to spend time with pets is outdoor training and desensitizing 🙌 I work part time and am generally flexible for hours during the week. I am especially available for early morning and daytime visits M-F. Weekends I’m happy to do overnights and potty breaks every couple hours. Happy to be the disciplinarian or the fun playtime aunt! However your pet feels safe I will accommodate and take as much time as needed to provide for them in your home.

Anna was absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend. She sent regular communications and photos so I knew my pets were in good hands. Both of my pets require meds and she was able to easily handle that process at feeding time. On top of that, one of my pets had a medical episode during her stay (it happens, but was still unexpected) and while I know it was scary to witness she was able to help my dog through it and calmly communicate the series of events that led up to it so I could relay to my vet.

Karachi We are so grateful for the amazing care our little angel received. From the moment we arrived home, it was clear how much attention and love she had been given. The studio was spotless, the sheets had been washed, and everything was perfectly organized. These thoughtful details meant so much to us. Most importantly, we could tell that Gini was happy, comfortable, and well cared for during her stay. Thank you for treating her like family. She means the world to us, and we would not hesitate to book again. Highly recommended!

Anna is a top notch pup sitter. I’m a crazy dog dad and Anna exceeded all expectations. Our dog has some separation anxiety and Anna more than accommodated his needs and made us feel very comfortable while we were gone for a couple days. She regularly provided updates which included pictures and videos. We will not hesitate to use Anna as our go-to dog sitter!

Abby was amazing. I was very nervous about getting a pet sitter we didn't know for our dog but she was incredibly reassuring and very patient with Marly (our dog), who can be nervous around strangers. She gave updates and pictures throughout the days on how Marly was doing and had no issues with walking her (she can be reactive). I have absolutely no complaints and would hire Abby again.

We so enjoyed having Miaki stay with Goose and Roo while we were out of town. Miaki is very communicative and thorough - we appreciated that she came by to meet the dogs beforehand and proactively asked questions to ensure that the dogs would be well taken care of in our absence. Miaki sent daily updates throughout our trip, and we can home to very happy dogs. We look forward to Miaki’s next visit and are sure our dogs will be excited to see her too.

Fantastic sitter! Frankie is a newly adopted rescue who is still settling in and can be a bit of a terrier goblin, so I was nervous about leaving her. Isabel was calm, patient, and clearly experienced with dogs. Frankie was happy and relaxed when I got home. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. Highly recommend!
