Allison is amazing! We noticed she was new to Rover but reached out anyway; from the first interaction we could tell she was an animal lover. Allison is always highly responsive, thoughtful and well spoken. She put us at ease with a meet’n’greet before her first walk which quickly turned into her being our go-to for out of town trips. Couldn’t be happier working with her!

Dustin is fantastic! He is reliable, punctual, responsive, and experienced with dogs. One of our dogs is a bit anxious and not warm to many people, but Dustin won her over! He sent photos of the dogs throughout the day, and ensured there were instructions for the dog. Dustin is friendly, personable and a great communicator. Thanks for taking such good care of our dogs!

Kyle walks my reactive dog weekly and they quickly became bffs. He is very punctual and alert on walks, steering my dog away from other dogs. Kyle always makes sure to send me updates and photos! He is trusted with feeding my dog a special diet and giving medication.

India took great care of our puppy Mac. She looked after him ar our house on a day when my schedule was incredibly busy. We had a very early start (7:30am) and she arrived exactly on time. She was very patient and kind with him, even when he got rambunctious with zoomies and digging around in the garden. She made sure he got his breakfast on time and took him for walks during the day. She also sent us some great photos of his walks in a nearby park. Mac was very comfortable and at ease around her. I highly recommend India and would love to have her take care of Mac again when the need arises and if her schedule permits.

Lisa was exceptional with our dog and as a house sitter generally. We have a miniature pincher who is a total sweetheart once you get to know him, but our dog has pretty significant fear aggression problems (he is a rescue and we are working on it). We were especially nervous to leave our furry friend alone with a stranger and were concerned about how he would be handled. Lisa took the time to ask the right questions and made multiple visits to our home ahead of time to get to know our dog and have him become comfortable and trust her; She walked him and even had a joint session with our dog trainer in order to understand our doggy’s quirks and needs. And it worked! He absolutely ADORES her. It felt very reassuring to have Lisa pay such personal attention to Oliver’s unique needs and anxieties. On top of that, she cooked for him too! (Following doggy diet restrictions of course) Lisa was very communicative while we were away, updating us regularly on the household and was great with our other animals too. (We have 2 rats and a red eared slider turtle) She made sure they were all fed and well taken care of. Additionally, she gave them all special meals for Christmas. The house was in great condition when we returned home and all of our animals seemed happy and content. We are incredibly appreciative of the clear effort and care she provided for our family, and we have every intention of booking her again. We really can’t recommend Lisa enough!

I can't recommend Adele highly enough for pet sitting. She is a passionate animal lover and her warmth and care for her own pets as well as others is amazing. Our pets have always benefitted from her attention and care whenever we've needed her to watch over them while we are away. Adele is responsible, articulate and treats animals in her care as if they are her own.

Lea H loves dogs but also cares for their well-being. She has had many dogs in her life and is educated and well-researched to different personalities and training modalities. Working by day as a physician assistant, she is caring, smart, dependable and responsible. If you needed help with your dog, call on Lea! She’s amazing!
