“Jesika is great! Very easy to work with, communicative, our dog & cat love her and she’s very responsible. She kept us updated, as we asked her to, while we were away. Polite, took good care of our house too. Will 100% hire her again!”
“Neysha was amazing, we have some picky animals and they all loved her! She kept us well informed for the entire duration of her stay sending pictures and updates I can’t anything negative about her. Highly recommend.”
“Sidney has watched our pups at our home two weekends in a row, and done a lovely job! Both times we returned to a clean home and happy pups. She has great communication leading up to a sit to coordinate details, and sent a few photos of them while we were away. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter in their home. Thanks Sidney, can’t wait to book you again! 🐾”
“Patricia took fantastic care of our dog when she stayed with him for four nights. He developed diarrhea during that time and she cared for him like he was her own pet. She communicated with me throughout the stay and sent photos too. When our dog needs care in the future, Patricia will be our first choice.”
“Jill took care of our 2 dogs (Pomskies) AND our sons 2 dogs (Shitzus) - and never missed a beat! Everything went great! She was prompt, skilled and communicated well and sent us pictures. Will definitely hope to have her back again!”
“Ava was amazing with our two dogs and cat. She was in constant communication and provided daily updates. Our pets loved her! Would highly recommend and will be booking again in the future!”
“Faith is amazing! Asked good, thorough questions while booking that eased my nerves of leaving our boys for the first time. She updated us with photos throughout her care, which we greatly enjoyed. The house and fur babies were well taken care of, and she stripped the bed before leaving! Made it easy to get back to our routine after a weekend away. Would highly recommend Faith, and will rebook her myself!”
About: I’ve owned dogs since the day I was born and I was raised in the livestock industry so I am very responsible and knowledgeable with animals especially since working at an animal hospital and taking animal behavior classes! My dog participates in AKC trick dog which basically means she know sooo many tricks and I consider myself very experienced in training all kinds of dogs. So please don’t be scared to message me about your untrained puppies. I am currently a part-time college student so I am busy on tuesdays and Thursday’s from 8am-1pm. But other then that I am a home body so I will be home all the time! When I am gone my dog gets crates and if your dog doesn’t do well in crates he/she can stay in my large guest bedroom! I have a friendly dog and a friendly cat to keep your babies occupied BUT if you have a dog/cat aggressive pet I can easily accommodate to their needs but having them stay in my large guest bedroom with plenty of toys and they will get switched out with my babies throughout the day so they aren’t in a room all day. I don’t have a yard but we go on regular long walks everyday!
About: My family and I have cared for dogs, cats, rats, gerbils, and many more animals in our home and in other family members homes. Animals are part of our daily lives as we have two dogs and a cat. They are super special to us and we treat them like our kids. We would like to open our home to other dogs and cats so you can take a vacation without worrying about your fur babies. We will walk them, play with them and love on them like we do our own. If your fun baby has special needs we can accommodate them and take good care of them as they should be. No fur baby will be left behind. We look forward in meeting you and your fur baby!
“I’m nervous about leaving my fur babies with anyone because I worry about them constantly. This was my 1st time using Rover or any pet sitting service for that matter! From the start of booking to the end, Jack was very professional, thorough & on time! And went above & beyond with taking care of my senior lab & cat pride! I felt at ease on my trip & didn’t worry at all! She sent updates & photos of my babies & has great communication too! I only want to book with Jack..,,repeat client now! Don’t hesitate to use him:) You won’t be disappointed!”
“Kathleen was a very loving caregiver to our sweet old Shiba. We knew Hawk was in excellent hands based on the frequent check-ins and photos. She stayed at our house and left it in great shape. We would happily welcome her back!”
“Heidi was an awesome sitter for my dogs and house! It was important to me that my dogs stay at home where they're most comfortable while I was away. Heidi kept them on their normal routine, learned their different personalities and quirks, and gave them daily enrichment activities and treats. She messaged daily with photos to keep me informed. And I came home to a house exactly as I had left it - maybe even a bit cleaner. I will definitely look to book Heidi again the next time I have to go away and leave my pups.”
“Elizabeth was amazing! I trusted her completely with my babies and they all loved her and had a wonderful time! I will defiantly use her again to watch our dogs! The pups were spoiled and loved and treated with care and safety. I appreciate Elizabeth so much!!!”
“Emman was amazing. Super reliable, great communication, and I could tell my pup was in good hands the whole time. Got plenty of updates and cute pics too. Will definitely book again.”
