“Brandi was great with my two pups. One hyper dog and one older dog, both requiring meds twice daily. She left my home in perfect condition, no meds were missed, and dogs were taken out frequently so no potty accidents in the house. She was such a relief after a previously bad experience with my last sitter. Definitely recommend!”
“She will be my ONLY Nannie I would be using for my dog ! Just wow she would send me photos and videos every 30 mins of my dog also my dog was in love with gabby . I have hired others before but she really blew me away on how she Nannie’s my dog again she would be the only one I would hire from now on ! Thank you very much for caring and showing so much care and love to eve .”
“Nova is a typical Shiba and they’re not the easiest dogs or for those with little dog experience. Alyson did a great job watching Nova and my home for a week while I was gone. There were definitely challenges and she found ways to overcome them. She provided daily updates and photos of Nova which gave us a sense of peace while we were gone. The home was clean when I got back and Nova was happy.”
“Ashley was great! She stayed in our home with our two dogs for a weekend and she gave us such peace of mind. She sent updates with pictures that we looked forward to, and I just know our girls were loved and well taken care of.”
“Luka is so great with my boys! She is an excellent communicator, and she is dependable. I have a senior dogs who can require a lot of care (and clean up), and she goes above and beyond with him.”
About: Hi everyone! I am a teacher & dog mama who is looking to keep busy this summer and help take care of your fur babies! I have been helping take care of pets and house-sitting for over 8 years. I’ve had both dogs and a cat as pets so I am very familiar & comfortable with them. I have experience with caring for dogs starting at 8 weeks up until their senior years, so I know how important it is to stick to a schedule when it comes to potty breaks or medication. Since I am a teacher, I have most of the summer completely free on the week days and weekends other than a few weeks where I will be traveling. I am able to stay at your home all day and night if needed, to help watch over fur baby. I ensure that your pet stays comfortable in your own home by respecting their space and boundaries at all times. If you have a pet that is a bit shy towards new people, I do my best to give them space and not overwhelm them with my presence. I will stick to any schedule you may have to ensure that your pet has an easy transition while you are away.
“I’m writing this from the bottom of my heart. My dog is my best friend, I’ve never left her with people I didn’t truly “know” like I was with Kiaralynn. Above and beyond is an understatement. Not only was my Luna taken care of extensively, but they went out of their way to constantly clean and do anything they could do to make my house a temporary home. If you’re anything like I was, and struggling finding care for your pet, I URGE you to look no further. Thank you so much for everything, 10/10.”
“Nehaeh was great She was a considerate houseguest and very attentive to our senior dog it was a relief to know that he did not get stressed with our leaving and she got him to play which he usually doesn’t !”
“Samantha was the best !! Her communication was great, she sent lots of updates and gave cielo lots of love.. I would definitely recommend her !”
“Jocelyn was exceptional. She made our vacation even better knowing that our animals were happy. And our arrival back home confirmed that. She was a great communicator as well.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 6 and have had an animal companion ever since. I’ve cared for several different breeds of cats and dogs, both in my own home and for others. There was one client in particular whose Dachshund had a sensitive back due to surgery, so I had to take extra care that he didn’t jump on furniture or get petted on the back by the client’s children when I babysat for them. I’m currently attending school Monday–Friday from 9am to 2pm. I’m available to care for your pets after classes and any time on the weekends. If your home isn’t too far away from my school, then I’m happy to house-sit during the week. I recently moved to a new, safe apartment with my cat and am helping her adjust to the environment. I need 3-days’ notice if you need me to board your pet at my home since I have a roommate and need her blessing since I don’t want to be inconsiderate to her. She also has a cat, and we’re both working hard to help our cats get to know each other and hopefully become friends. Since neither of our cats are very good with other animals, the bonding will take time and any animals I board will need to remain in a crate.
“Pamela is so sweet and caring with our boys! Very attentive and sends frequent updates. We never have to worry about our babies when she is there with them.”
“We have used Lexi on multiple occasions to stay with our two pups. She takes great care and always keeps us well informed with how they are doing. We definitely will continue to have her watch our Boys and definitely recommend her as a top notch Rover!”
“Cristina spent a week with my dog Toby and was absolutely wonderful! She is kind and communicative, and I know he was in good hands. As a bonus, she left my house cleaner than I when I left! Will definitely be rebooking with Cristina in the future.”
“Boots says she loved Luana and misses her.”
“Makenzy took care of my cat while I was away for a week. She sent me plenty of updates and was easy to reach! Would definitely book with her again!”
“Anna was very respectful of my home and all was well when I got back. When she had a concern she did not hesitate to contact me like I asked. She had requested detailed instructions (like I do anyway) but it showed me she was conscientious.”
“Kitty is very pleasant, our puppy Peach loves her. She gave consistent updates and put in maximum effort to look out for and tire out our energetic puppy. Kitty made sure Peach went out on walks and plays with her, as hectic our puppy’s routine is. She is knowledgeable with pet sitting! Will definitely be asking her to pet sit again. ☺️”
“Pam was everything we could ever want in a home and pet sitter and we're so thankful! She loved my animals from the second she walked in and I knew she'd take great care of them. We got regular updates and pictures and felt very comfortable with them in her care. She even had to deal with an unfortunate issue where the water main was hit by some workers and she made sure our babies had water and were taken care of until it could be fixed the following morning. We got home to a clean space and even the sheets she used were cleaned and folded which she didn't have to do. Thank you so much Pam for making this a great experience and we hope to use you again some time in the future. I know my babies loved having you too.”
“This was our first time hiring a rover and we were neverous. Ashley arranged a meet and greet and was so kind and warm. She got along well with the pups and took great care of looking after them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely hire her again!”
