“Kiara & Yves are genuinely such fantastic pet sitters, and kept my mind at ease during travel knowing that my cat was in such good hands! Not only were they very kind and pleasant to talk to, but Kiara was very knowledgeable about animals in general and shared some useful information. They were very diligent in making sure my kitty was being cared for properly, along with sending updates and pictures. From medication, to going out of their way to buy specific kibble that my cat was used to after not adjusting, you can be assured that your pet will be watched by responsible, enthusiastic, and caring folks.”
“Thank you Jenn & Brian for taking such great care of Rooney, just like last time. Thanks for all the pics and videos while we were away! Clearly he had a blast playing with your pups, and he also came home nice and clean!! 😀 You guys are the best!”
“Within a minute of meeting Melissa, I could tell she was sweet, trustworthy and really loves dogs. She was so easy to talk and knew how to take care of my senior doing. My dogs loved her so much they cuddled with her. Would recommend her to anyone to watch their dogs. She sent me pictures and gave me updates everyday. I could actually go on vacation and relax knowing that my dogs were safe.”
“Mindy took such great care of our Troops! This was our first long trip away in a very long time and we wish we could have brought him with us but are so happy that he had Mindy to take care of him! She updated all the time on what he was doing and we were all so excited to see all the pictures and videos! She is top-notch,highly recommended, I wouldn’t want to trust anyone else! 🐾🐾🐾”
“At first I was skeptical about using Rover to find someone to care for my German Shepherd that I just adopted and because of moving reasons I needed a place for him to be until my place was ready. I came across Jin, and she was immediately available, and I couldn't be more lucky to have found such an amazing human been, she took care of my Tony so good, with constant pictures and follow ups about his activities. I will only use her services to care for my dog. She us the best. Thank you so much for taking care my big baby tony.??”
“Anthony did a great job taking care of my pup. She can be shy and fearful in new situations and Anthony did a great job to keep her calm and comfortable. She enjoyed playing with his dogs, Yoki and Canelo. I enjoyed receiving updates and pictures of my pup while I was away which helped me feel at ease. Anthony is calm, reliable and welcoming. I plan to use his services again when I need them.”
“Amanda was such a lifesaver for our family this past weekend. We had a death in the family and had to leave town rather urgently and Amanda responded so quickly and was immediately available to take care of our little Yorkie. She kept us up to date with photos all weekend and we felt very comfortable with Cooper staying with Amanda and her daughter. Thank you again Amanda!”
“Charlette was wonderful!!! Nikey does well with new people, but can get nervous in new environments. Charlette treated him with kindness and patience. She was able and willing to work with his normal routine and sent plenty of updates and pictures, which helped me feel at ease. Nikey warmed up to her, her home, and her family quickly. We are so happy to have connected with Charlette and will absolutely request services again!!!”
“Denae and Mark were wonderful hosts for our dog, Cooper. Denae was a great communicator and provided us photos and messages to let us know how Cooper was doing during his brief weekend stay. We will be using them again!”
“Where do I even begin?!! Michelle has to be one of the best dog sitters we have ever encountered in our lives. She pays so much attention to our dogs and loves them as if they were her own. I never had to wonder what was going on while we were away, as Michelle does a fantastic job with updates and pictures galore throughout the day. We were able to enjoy ourselves the entire trip because we knew our dogs were in good hands. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure everything is taken care of. I highly recommend her services. Thank you so much!”
“Love, love, love Erika and Huxley! We were a bit nervous to leave our 12 week old, high energy Great Dane pup with a sitter for vacation. From minute one of booking, we knew Erika would be awesome. We did a meet n greet first to ensure the dogs were a good fit. We received daily updates with photo’s of our pup with her new friend Huxley. I think our pups are going to be life long friends! We won’t be using anyone else from this point on!”
“Kelsey was fantastic with Apollo. We arranged the stay on very short notice, and she was extremely accommodating. She took great care of him from Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Apollo seemed happy and relaxed when we picked him up. We would definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched friends’ pets in the past to help them out. I’ve boarded and walked on multiple occasions. I work during the day M-F. During the summer my two very responsible 19 and 20 year olds are home to help out and play with the animals as well. I’m looking at this as a learning opportunity in responsibility for them. I have a small yard and live in a nice neighborhood that is good for walking. I have a dog named Westley who is 3 1/2 and a cat, Daisy, that is 6. Both have been around both dogs and cats. Daisy generally will hide if she’s scared. Westley loves to play.
“Beverly was great! She sent several pictures of Lucy throughout the day. Very good communication. Lucy had a great time because she came home exhausted. Would definitely have Beverly watch Lucy again when we need a pet sitter.”
“Annalisa took such great care of my dog, Rukia, over the weekend! She was attentive, communicative, and made sure Rukia was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. I really appreciated the updates, and to top it off, she even gave Rukia a bath before pickup. Rukia came home happy, clean, and clearly well loved. I would absolutely trust Annalisa to watch her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care!”
“Valerie was a terrific sitter for Gemma and Gemma took to her right away :) Valerie loves dogs so much and it shows. We look forward to visiting with Valerie again and I highly recommend a stay with her.”
