“Michael was a new sitter for us, but he will be our go-to sitter moving forward. He was prompt, reliable & very sweet with our pets. We got many photos and videos of his stay & our dog seemed very happy to have him there for walks & to play with. An unexpected bonus was not only that he left us a note so we knew where our pets were at in their day with treats & meds, but how clean he left our house (even stripped the bed & put his sheets in the washing machine)! 6/5 stars for Michael D! I HIGHLY recommend!”
“My pups took instantly to Claire. She truly has a way with them. Communication was clear and professional. Will definitely use again. Thank you!”

“Gracie took great care of our dog, she is easy to communicate with, reliable, responsible, professional and trustworthy. She sent daily updates and photos of their adventures together. She kept the house neat and tidy while we were on vacation. Gracie is an awesome sitter and you could see how much she loves animals. Thank you!”
“Kate was great with our boy ! He loved her and she took very good care of him. Definitely a good person to trust and will be our go to babysitter !”
“I love Will. He took such good care of Timber. It takes a lot to get her to warm up to you and he was so patient! Can’t wait for him to come again!”
“Phoebe is a fantastic person who went above and beyond for my dog, Arya. When fireworks scared Arya, Phoebe stayed later than planned to comfort her, which meant a lot. She’s caring, dependable, and clearly loves animals. I highly recommend Phoebe to anyone looking for someone thoughtful and reliable.”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda! I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s excited to help care for your pets like they’re my own. I currently work full-time during the week and am looking to offer pet care on the side, especially evenings and weekends. I’ve cared for neighbors’ pets, my sister’s dog, and homes for extended periods. I’m reliable, easygoing, and great at communicating, which I know is key when trusting someone with your furry family. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’m here to help. I also offer light house sitting duties if needed. Feel free to reach out with any questions I’d love to learn more about your pets and how I can support you! I am unable to care for pets in my own home but safety, trust, and environment is super important to me! I will always follow instructions and will always respect the house rules and guidelines provided. I work full-time during the week, but I’m usually available in the afternoons/evenings after 5 and on weekends. I’m using Rover as a fun side gig because I genuinely love animals and want to spend more of my free time with them! I’ll make sure your pet still gets the time, care, and attention they need. I always prioritize comfort, safety, and trust. I’ve watched family pets, house sat for neighbors, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’ll happily follow your pet’s routine whether that includes crate time, meds, or snuggles and keep you updated with plenty of photos!
“Our dog is old and a bit cranky. She is very devoted to her people and can be very whiny and needy when she is being cared for by others. Carrie took very good care of her while we were away for a week, even letting her sleep with her. We were very pleased with Carrie and would highly recommend her.”
“Sam was wonderful! She took great care of our 115 lb Leonberger and of our house while she stayed here. She was great at communicating with us and sending pictures along the way.”
“Tati was amazing! Benji took to her kind playful personality immediately. She sent us pictures while they were hanging out. I knew he was in good hands! We will definitely contact her again!”
“James was amazing! He went above and beyond and his son taught us a new trick, that we have been working on with our pup! Would absolutely have James watch our pup in the future!”
About: I’ve always had experience with cats and dogs; I specialize in longer walks, which some may constitute as hikes! My dog is a bit too small and old for hikes but I would love to help other dogs get that energy out in a beneficial way. I have experience with senior dogs, and some puppy experience. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I am a college student focusing on my education which gives me plenty of flexibility and free time to take care of pets! I can crate dogs if that is a preference although I am very open to just spending time sitting or playing with them as well!
“We felt so comfortable leaving our boy with Dale! She was incredible, meeting him beforehand and keeping us updated with photos and texts. We will absolutely be booking Dale again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Fern was amazing! First rover i’ve ever gotten that i would book to sit twice. I have been burnt before in the past sadly but Fern sent so many photos and was so communicative and went above and beyond. I HIGHLY recommend her for your pet sitting needs! The cats loved her.”
“Allison did a great job with our dog who fell in love with her right away!”
“Summer took excellent care of my two cats while I was away for a week. Not only did she follow the care instructions to a T (and I left an annoying amount of notes), she gave them both lots of attention, treats, and playtime. Normally, my cats act as if they’d been starved for food and attention in my absence, but they were so well cared for that they were barely fazed when I returned. We would happily book Summer again!”
“Cora was an excellent overnight sitter for our high energy dog. Her clear communication and multiple daily updates allowed us to have a stress free vacation. We came home to a clean house and happy dog. She exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend her.”
“Teresa is an amazing caretaker. Our dog has a heavy background and it her takes a minute to warm up to new folks. Teresa is calm, patient, and loving. We had an unexpected event to attend and we appreciated that she squeezed us in without much notice. She took time out of her day to meet Honey before we left for the weekend and we immediately felt at ease and knew Honey was in responsible, good hands. We will definitely book Teresa in the future and recommend her to friends.”
About: Have lived with dogs and cats my whole life (over 45 years). Currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. I currently also take care of our friend's dog about once a week. In the past, I have: watched and walked dogs for friends and family; fostered multiple dogs at our house; volunteered at a dog shelter helping to walk dogs and other various tasks; and have taken many of my current and past dogs to multiple dog training courses. Routinely work from home so can help throughout the day and also can stop by and help out in the early morning or in the evenings. Willing to walk or play with dogs outside or inside - every situation is different so whatever makes sense. Will give dogs lots of love and care and can tire them out if needed.

Michael S.
“Mike watches my dog about once a week and has been for the last few years. He does a great job. He lets him come over to his house and my dog plays with his other dogs all day. This is kind of a unique situation as I wouldn’t expect Mike to allow all dogs at his house but he does a great job of ensuring my dog is safe, healthy, and tired by the end of the day.”
