“Danielle was simply amazing. We received tons of photos and updates throughout the week. She quickly communicated when she had questions and was quick to implement any suggestions. Our girl is so shy and has some trouble on day one adjusting to new sitters- Danielle was so patient and kind with our girl and she was back to her silly, snuggly and fun self in no time! We hope to rebook in the future!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my dog, Beckett! She sent plenty of pictures and even knitted a little paw for me while I was gone. I also appreciated that she was tidy and bonus ran my dishwasher and stripped the bed for me on her last day. Would absolutely recommend Jordan!”
“Mary was very friendly and easy to communicate with while we were on our trip. She did a great job taking care of our dog, our house, and getting our mail. We will definitely use her housesitter services again.”
“James is the very best! He went above and beyond for us and took such great care of our dogs, including a four month old puppy who was difficult while we were away. James is considerate, caring and communicative. And we came home to our house in better shape than we left it in for him!”
“Tessa was awesome! Our pets had a great time, she was consistent with communication and left us completely unburdened regarding our furry family while on vacation! Would 1000% recommend Tessa to anyone in need of a hand with your pets!”
“Amanda was a wonderful sitter for our doodle Henry. He loved having her and she really took great care of him. He had walks and playtime and she sent frequent pictures showing us how much fun Henry was having. I was completely at ease knowing she was at our house with him. She also left the house impeccable. We highly recommend her!!!”
“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”
“Ava did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs and two cats in our home for 6 days. She was attentive, communicative and left our house spotless. Ava was flexible with our schedule and able to adjust the timeframe accordingly. She is reliable and it is clear she loves animals and knows how to care for them - do not hesitate to hire her for any pet sitting needs.”
“Jonathan was wonderful, my 16-year-old dog loved him instantly. My dog was not at all out of sorts after a long weekend which means meds were given on time, he had plenty of walks (probably more than normal), and he wasn't left alone for too long. Jonathan communicated appropriately throughout his stay and my home was left very neat and tidy. I'm extremely thankful for his kind care of my old, curmudgeonly dog.”
“We were gone for 10 days. Samantha house and dog sat. She is fantastic. Took care of them like they were her own. She even helped out and watered our outdoor plants since there was no rain. Highly recommended.”
“Star and Jack did an amazing job taking care of my senior girls. This is my first time using them and will definitely rebook. I felt so confident that my pups were getting the ABSOLUTE best care while I was away. So happy that I book them!”
“Was nothing short of amazing. From the meet and greet to entire time Lettie was house sitting, she was attentive and thorough. Gave updates along the way and made the entire experience so stress free. Best experience with Rover yet!”
“Christian was excellent! She was incredibly professional and took the time to thoroughly document our pets' schedules and needs. Great communication throughout our booking kept our minds at ease. We would absolutely recommend Christian!”
About: I grew up with dogs, and in the last few years have been regularly petsitting for friends and mutual friends who need a dog lover to give them peace of mind that their pets will be cared for and loved on even when you're away :) I work full time, typically either 11-6:30 or 12-8:30 Tues-Sat (usually off Sunday and Monday). Infrequently I have later a later shift depending on work needs, and that usually means 3-11. Overall, I can be available in the morning, evening, and overnight around my work schedule! I'm an active person and love walks, so I can take your pet on very long walks and provide lots of play! I can take them out to the bathroom in the morning and evenings, and feed + administer medicine as needed. Overall, I enjoy getting to spend time with dogs so they will be watched and looked after (....and given lots of treats but that's between me and them)
“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”
“Jessica was so patient with my anxious pup and kept me updated throughout the sitting! Left the house nice and tidy as well. Would highly recommend her to other pet parents!”
“LaTrice is awesome! She took great care of my pup while I was out of town for a few days. She’s really on top of things and super reliable, and genuinely loves spending time with your dog/cat/crew of animals. I will definitely be reaching out to her whenever I need a dog sitter in the future!”

“My pup loves Maggie! She walks him multiple times a week, sometimes even taking him on excursions to various walk paths around the city. I trust her to pick him up while I'm away at work and have never had any issues. She is very knowledgeable in dog behavior and is a great guide for my 10 month old puppy. She always sends me cute photo and video updates and returns him happy and sleepy—the best combo! <3”
