“CK was great with my dog and cat, and very communicative! He was even able to come back and check on the animals later than planned when we were delayed coming home. Would definitely book again!”
“This is my second time using Sydney for pet sitting. She puts so much car into watching the animals she’s charged with. She does a wonderful job with my anxious dog and very shy cats. I trust her to take good care of my home as well. Looking forward to continuing to use Sydney in the future!”
“Mariah was awesome! From the moment she met our dog I knew she would be a good fit—Stella was at ease and loved her. You could tell from the pictures she sent that Stella and the cats were happy and comfortable and that she was taking great care of them. 10/10 would definitely book again!”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family and we were very anxious about it, however, Keilah was amazing. She came over to our house and met Millie before we left to ensure a smooth transition. Additionally, she sent updates, pictures, and videos of our pup to reassure us everything was going great. I’m sure Millie will miss her! Cannot recommend enough, we will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you, Keilah!”
“Kristina and Fletcher stayed with our dog for two weeks while we were in Europe. Just before we left, our dog developed both a fear of walking at night due and some gastrointestinal issues. We were extremely worried about leaving her but they gave her lots of love and patience about walking and rolled with her new diet restrictions. They also sent us lots of updates because they knew we were worried. We came back to a happy and healthy dog and are grateful to have had two conscientious dog pros with our girl when we couldn’t be.”
“Alex was phenomenal! I have two bigger dogs who can be and play kind of wild, and he kept in touch throughout the weekend with updates, pictures, and videos. I would definitely hire Alex again.”
About: I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for dogs of all kinds, including reactive pups and those needing medication. I truly love animals and take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs. Working from home allows me to be flexible and fully present—your pet gets real attention, not just a quick visit. I work from home so I have to ability to step away to care for people’s pets. I am also available most days and times It’s more than just walking dogs or making sure they have food and water. I want to make sure they know they are cared for emotionally as well and get some energy out by playing and interacting
“Maura was great- very communicative and sent lots of photos of my dog, Bentley which I appreciated it! I look forward to working with Maura more in the future!”
“Heather took great care of my 2 fur babies. I was able to enjoy my first family vacation in years because she made me so comfortable with the care she gave them. She sent pictures everyday and kept me updated in all of their activities. She will be my Rover go to for future trips.”
“Traisaun does a great job with our fur kids. We can always tell how good of a time they had by how excited they are when we get back. Even though we were gone for the weekend, they barely acted like we had gone to the store, which means they barely missed us not being here. Even the rabbit, who doesn’t like everyone, looks around for Traisaun after he leaves. Aside from being great with our fur kids, Traisaun is very reliable and trustworthy. We will continue to hire Traisaun as long as we can!”
“Regan is great! She was super communicative and made sure all was well with our senior diabetic cat who needs shots twice a day and our hyper young cattle dog. Very grateful for her!”

“Kristin was wonderful. She took excellent care of Baxter. They took lots of walks. She went above and beyond. Everything was neat and clean when I got home. She's new to Rover and was perfect. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jess was amazing! She had her hands full watching over one of our newer household members who likes to get in trouble all the time non-stop (like eating incense and soy milk - silly dog!). I appreciated the communication she kept while I was away and sending photos of my furry family. Jess was thorough with taking notes about my special needs pets. I feel she shared love and attention with them during her stay; and I know my pet family adored her staying with them while I was away. I highly recommend Jess and look forward to having her take care of my fur babies again.”
“Aidan was terrific. He is respectful and trustworthy. He was very flexible with our schedule and accommodating to our requests. We liked that Aidan has previous house sitting experience and we felt really comfortable leaving Sunny for the first time. Aidan understood Sunny's reactivity to other dogs, which was a huge plus for us. He walked Sunny twice a day even in cold weather. The house was left in great shape and Aidan was very respectful of our home. Would highly recommend for dog and house sitting!”
