“Taryn is wonderful. We will definitely hire her again. She’s very pleasant and great with our pets. They warmed to her immediately. She’s a problem solver (we had a minor plumbing issue which she solved on her own but contacted us). She stays in touch just enough so we know all is well but not so much that we can’t enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond. Excellent pet and house sitter!”


“Lulu is awesome with our kitties. She always goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy and adjusting well while we are gone. She updates us regularly which helps to ease our minds too. She is the best!!”


“This was our first time leaving our pup that has health issues. Our minds were at ease knowing Erin was there giving her all the attention she needed and then some! Loved the consistent check ins and photos and how well the house was cared for overall!”


“Gave updates, took very good care of my dogs. Even when i was sick & unresponsive for a few days, she still gave updates and kept me in the know. I appreciate all the help & care she gave my boys! Super happy.”


“Deidre was great! I knew Kelso was in great hands and she was great about communicating throughout the trip and sending pictures. Looking forward to rebooking whenever my next trip may be! Thanks again xx”


“Stacey is a dream come true to any doting dog mom. Some dog sitters just rush in and rush out without really connecting with the pups, but dog moms know that they also need love and attention in addition to basic needs. I was so deeply moved to see Stacey spending extra time with them, loving them, and interacting with them the way I would. I am beyond thankful to have found her on Rover and highly recommend her to anyone. Bonus … she went above and beyond with other little activities around the house like checking the mail and cleaning the bunny’s litter box. She cared for our home and pets the way a friend or family member would. Thank you Stacey!!”


“The dogs I know were well taken care of - I got updates twice a day. A friend disengaged the garage door for the mechanism and Ben fixed it for me!!! While he didn’t have to take care of my cat he cleaned out the litter box before I came home. When Neville met Ben , Neville is not a jumper at all, but he immediately climbed in Ben’s lap to be loved on by him. And Ben was awesome and let him! I highly recommend him and will use his services in the future!!”



“Robyn was wonderful. She was so kind and caring and took great care of our sweet Gidget. It happened to snow when we were gone and she brought in my plants, collected my packages that arrived, and was a great communicator. We really appreciated all of the photos and videos. She sent us when we were away from our sweet little Gidget We will definitely use Robyn again without any reservation what so ever! Robyn is a smart choice when selecting a pet/house sitter.”


“Kadyn did a wonderful job watching our two kitties and left our apartment better than she found it. She was an excellent communicator and followed all our instructions exactly. Most importantly, our cats both seemed happy and healthy all in the pictures she sent!”


“They took amazing care of my two dogs while i was on a work trip. I got pictures, GREAT pictures i might ad, updates often and was kept informed daily. Very caring and kept up with both dogs, despite them having completely different personalities. So happy with the care they gave and wouldnt hesitate to use them again!”


“Bree was awesome! She sent pictures of Abbey while we were away. Came home to a well taken care of home! I would highly recommend Bree! It was our first time leaving our pet and home to someone! But loved it! Abbey was happy and our home was taken care of. Bree was so respectful of our home!”


“Abby is the best!!! If there is a Rover hall of fame, Abby should be voted in on the first ballot. Our animals love her and she takes great care of them. Left the house in immaculate conduction and even watered our flowers for us. Our return flight was delayed and Abby just rolled with the changes. If you have any apprehension about hiring a Rover sitter, select Abby. You will also provide a 5-star rating. Thank you Abby!”


“Ellie did an amazing job looking after our pup and house while we were away. She sent pictures or videos each day of things Willy was doing and places they were walking. When we arrived back home, everything was clean and tidy in our house. Looking forward to having Ellie here again!”


“Emma dropped by a week before watching Spotz to meet him. She was responsive to our messages before we left town and provided regular updates (with pictures)! Spotz is anxious and we just moved to town a couple weeks ago, so I was nervous to leave town, but Emma made it easier. I appreciated the daily updates she provided and quality time she spent with Spotz while we were away!”


“Ann was great. We had an initial meeting at my home where I showed her where everything was and explained everything. She took great care of my cat and dog. I will definitely be using her again. I’m so grateful to have met such a thoughtful and and caring person!”


About: I grew up with a dog since the age of 9. We had a mut, boarder collie, and a pit bull. And I baby sat a friends akita this past year for a few months. I love animals, I just can't afford one of my own right now. But I would love to help you out and hang out with your dog. I'm available to walk your pet early in the morning or after 5pm. I have a full time job but have the ability to work remote, so I'm avalable for boarding throughout the week. I can take your pet for a walk and as many as needed. I usually go on a jog afterwork and would love to bring them along. Or can walk them afterwards if they prefer a mor leisurely pace. I also like to do a lite exercise in the morning so a brisk walk in the AM would be great. If im boarding your pet at my place, I live in a one bedroom apartment which they are free to roam as of they are potty trained. I also have a balcony that they are welcome to sunbath on.
