“Petra was very communicative about how things were going during her stay at our home and texted us pictures of the dogs which made us feel at ease. We have multiple terriers and she handled them with no issues. She is is knowledgeable about dog behavior and understood each dog’s personality and how to relate to each one. She treated our dogs with kindness even if they were naughty. I would highly recommend her and will be hiring her again.”

About: I have a lifelong love of all critters great and small! I've cared for dogs since I was knee high, even starting my own dog sitting service when I was a kid. I've had puppies, dogs, and seniors under my care. I approach all dogs as unique individuals with their own needs, wants, and boundaries. I'm looking for work and to get out of the house. My availability is wide open, I'm ready to work around your schedule or particulars. I'm a responsible and college educated person, and understand your pet is part of your family. I treat every home and pet as if they were my own.
“Elisha was great. She wasn't intimidated by Arlo's epilepsy which was a huge relief to me. She seemed immediately at ease with the boys and they with her. When I got home my dogs were calm, happy and not anxious so I could tell that they were indeed comfortable with her. I will definitely book with Elisha again.”

“Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend”

“I had such a great experience with Joe! He kept me up to date with how my dog was doing while I was away. He reached out with any questions or concerns that came up. He put my mind at ease knowing my dog would be in good hands while I was gone. Definitely will be booking him again in the future!”

“Bailey is dependable and was wonderful with our pets giving us reassurance when leaving them for the weekend in her capable hands. We received great updates and communication as well!”

“Caitlyn was amazing with our two cats and dog! She was super communicative on sending updates and pictures of how the pets were doing and was so easy to work with! We had her drop-in twice a day and she was really thorough with feeding, taking care of the litter box, and snuggling with them all during each visit. Our dog needs daily medication and one cat needed ointment on her paws and she expertly handled all their needs. Our cat’s paws are better already because of Caitlyn’s care and attention. We absolutely will hire Caitlyn again and would highly recommend her to the Rover community!”

“I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D”

“Alyssa is great! My pets and home were well cared for. My dog gets pretty anxious when I go out of town but he seemed very calm and relaxed when I came back. He seemed like he had a great time with Alyssa!”

“Alannah was great with Cornelius! She was prompt in her response on availability and coming to meet us. She projects a calm and natural energy with dogs! Cornelius loved her and so did we and we will not hesitate to book her again!!💕”

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was five years old and continued to get more dogs. I have dog sat for multiple friends and family rating from dogs and cats. As far as training animals, I did grow up with having to train them so I do have some experience. I am currently working part time and go to community college but will be able to manage and work out a schedule that will be accommodating. I have 3 dogs that have invisible fences outside so they can roam free without getting lost, going to the road, running off. I have a big yard surrounding my house so they are used to running around freely. When it gets too cold they come in to the house or garage with my father. I am used to walking dogs as they do get walked on occasion at home or if we have them out of the house. I do not off offer services that welcome pets into my house but I am accommodating as necessary and will offer services at your residency.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s, neighbors, and friend’s animals of all kinds for years. I enjoy offering them training tips as I have experience from my own dogs and spending time with their pets. I’m currently a college students and have a variety of hours in between and before class during the week and am available on the weekends. I maintain a pretty flexible schedule. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats and my family currently has three dogs and two cats. I love taking care and spending time with them! They all get along well and enjoy time in a fenced in backyard.
“Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.”
“It is challenging to leave our anxious dog when we go away. Joyce made it so much easier! She is very thoughtful and went above and beyond to understand our dog and give her lots of attention. She sent us the sweetest daily updates. Also, it was very clear when we got home that she had taken very good care of our house. Joyce is now on our short list of favorite dog sitters. We will have her dog/house sit again without question.”

“Shannon was amazing with our dogs! It felt so good knowing they were out and not in their kennels too much while we were away! She sent pictures with updates, they all loved her! Definitely recommend!”

“Stephanie was great very attentive and caring. Handling my old dogs low vision well and I was sent updates and pictures of my boys daily. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

About: Hi Y’all! I’ve had tons of experience pet sitting/dog walking. I’ve owned animals since I was 9 years old. Animals like hamsters, dogs, cats, hermit crabs, fish, guinea pigs, and bunnies! So I have a variety of experience. I’ve been getting paid to pet sit/walk dogs for 14 years. I also worked in a pet boarding/doggy daycare facility so I have experience with dogs of all sizes and tempers. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby!
