Paula was great in taking care of my cat while i was on a weekend trip. She sent me pictures every time she went to my house to feed her and showed me pics of them playing. Made my heart smile. Recommend Paula for your fur baby!

Beth was wonderful. She is so sweet with my little cat and figured out right away how she likes to be pet. I really appreciated her sending pics and letting me know everything was ok. She went above and beyond in her care while I was gone and she is always very punctual and responsible. I’m very glad to have found Beth!!

Lauren took great care of our pup. She sent lots of photos, and in them, Otto was either playing or snuggled up peacefully. She also took great care of our house. We would love to have her come watch Otto again!

Felt good knowing our dogs were with someone who had experience with elderly dogs. Thankful Sasha could stay at our home to keep them company and make sure they were ok the whole week we were gone.

Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!

Although Bree is new to Rover we felt extremely comfortable leaving our 13 year old dog in her capable hands. She kept us updated daily with their activities and photos. ( I think my dog had a better time than we did ! ) Bree took very good care of our home and left it clean and tidy. We would most definitely recommend Bree to anyone needing help with their pets. I know we will use her again!

Ashley babysat my 2 dogs when my family and I were out of town. She was so kind, gentle, loving, and patient with them. She was always on time and kept me up to date on how the dogs were doing. I've never met anyone that has such a love for dogs, and any other animal. My dogs love when she comes over because they know it's play time. I highly recommend and have referred Ashely to friends and family that need help with their dogs, and they were also pleased with her services.

About: Between two childhood dogs and 1.5 years at PetSmart, I am a lover of all pets everywhere and treat them with the utmost love, respect, and care possibly. I am currently not working a job, so I have open availability. I am able to provide services on weekdays and weekends, and open for weekends as well. Pet would be leashed at all times due to not having a fence at home. Plenty of open grassy area to use for doing business. Fresh water and appropriate food for pets in question available at all times.

Ethan Rogers would make a great pet sitter,because he loves all animals and is kind and respectful. Ethan was also raised with dogs and cats who loved and love him immensely. Ethan is also responsible, and would provide great care, as well as be playful and attentive to the pet's needs at all times. The pets would feel very comfortable,safe,and cared for with Ethan.

Peyton was a WONDERFUL pet sitter/walker. She was professional and communicative, sending us picture updates of our fur babies. She was respectful to our home and we felt at ease knowing she was taking great care of our dogs and cat. Would recommend booking her for all of your pet care needs.

Ellie is a gem! Our scheduled dog sitter became a no show when we were out of town. Ellie stepped up and saved our trip! Fortunately she was available and we are so lucky to have found her. She is an excellent and trustworthy person. She took great care of our dogs. Our older dog is a finicky eater especially when we are not around. Ellie, being the amazing caregiver to our dogs, was so terrific with them that our older dog ate regularly while we were traveling which is amazing! Both our dogs were very happy and it’s a honor to have a great person like Ellie take care of our dogs. If you are looking for an amazing, responsible and trustworthy dog person then Ellie is that person! We Highly highly recommend Ellie!!!
