“So grateful to have found Erin! She was so wonderful with my two dogs over the holidays! She sent me several updates throughout the day & left my home spotless. She has such a warm spirit & loved on my boys so well while I was traveling. I can’t recommend her enough!”


“Lulu was amazing! She gave us daily updates and pics of our animals and took excellent care of them. I felt very good about leaving them in her care. She will 100% be our first choice next time we need pet care!”


“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!”


“Thank you, Rachel, for taking such wonderful care of our sweet husky while we were on vacation. Your love and attention meant the world to us, and we could tell our pup was in the best hands. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable sitter!”


“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!!”


“Went on a weekend getaway and Kami was so great with our girl. We have a newish adopted doggy who is reactive and Kami was so kind and patient with her. We will definitely rebook!”


“Ava did such a great job! My pets were very well taken care of and given lots of snuggles! My pup liked her so much she tried to keep her there by stealing her shoe! (No shoes were harmed in the making of the visit!) Highly recommend Ava!!”


“Ell was great! She was attentive to our instructions of care and provided updates for us! We were at ease knowing they were in good hands! 10/10 would recommend booking Ell!”


“Abby did a great job taking care of our 2cats and 2 dogs. She really went above and beyond. She left the home in excellent condition, and even washed the sheets and towels! She got our mail and packages for us while we were gone and took out our trash for us. Communication was excellent and we received pics of our fur babies during our trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”


“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!”


About: I am a third year veterinary student in KC for the summer at an internship! I have worked as a Veterinary Assistant for 6 years now and have gained experience in handling and working with all breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as cats. I have also been petsitting for family friends for 5 years and have plenty of experience making pets feels comfortable while their owner is away. I am comfortable handling any dog or cat, with anything from giving medications to your senior pup to walks and exercise for the more energetic ones! I’m currently working full-time during the week with some evening hours available. I am also typically available all day during the weekend and on most holidays. As I am currently renting, I am not able to care for pets in my own home. However, I am more than willing to travel and take care of your fur-baby in the comfort of their own home! I have been trained on how to handle all types of animals with care and respect towards them, and would feel comfortable assisting with any training you are working with them on. Most of all, I absolutely love to hang out with any animal and would be honored to care for your fur baby!

“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!!”


“Jerrica took incredible care of my remi! He had just gotten out of the hospital and I needed someone to come keep an eye on him while I was at work. Jerrica was on time and nurtured and tended to my sick boy. I couldn’t recommend her enough. I am hoping to be lucky enough to make her my permanent caretaker of my sweet Rem.”


“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!”


“My kitty gets extreme anxiety when we travel so i cannot leave her alone. My kitty LOVES Ella! Working with Ella is so easy and it is such a relief to know that when I get home it will be to a happy cat!”


“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!”



“Robyn was a wonderful sitter for our animals. She gave great updates throughout our vacation and she treated our pets like her own. They looked like they so much fun with Robyn and were definitely spoiled all week. Thank you Robyn!”


“We absolutely LOVE Ellie! My partner and I both work from home, so our Irish Setter is used to having people around 24/7. When we had to travel internationally for a week, we were nervous about leaving our fur baby—but Ellie was the perfect solution. She also works from home, which made her an ideal fit to stay in our house and provide the constant companionship our pup thrives on. From the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. Ellie is an incredible communicator. She kept us updated with sweet messages, photos, and videos of walks, cuddle time, and play sessions—making it clear our dog was having a blast. Not only did she treat our pup like family, but she also left our home spotless. She even did her own laundry before leaving, which was such a thoughtful touch. It’s clear she goes above and beyond to care for both pets and their homes. Ellie made our dog’s week fun, safe, and full of love. We came home to a happy dog and an immaculate house—what more could we ask for? Thank you, Ellie!”


“Returning customer and will hopefully have more in the future. Kayla is a fantastic dog sitter and house sitter. Very respectful. Communicates very well. Our dog loves her! Highly recommended.”
