“Max and Mariah just watched our dog for the third time and we’ve been pleased every time! Their communication is great and they will make your fur baby feel right at home. Highly recommend!”
“Jeanne and her family took the very best care of my pup. I received constant pictures and updates that put my heart at ease while I was away because I knew Chance was being loved and cared for! I could tell he especially loved playing in her backyard with the other dogs. Will absolutely rebook in the future and recommend to anyone looking for a dog sitter!!”
“So very happy with having Christin take care of Maggie. She made her feel so relaxed. Always sending me pictures of her. Would recommend her to everyone!”
“Edward was awesome according to Rocky! LOL. Seriously though, it was a smooth process to meet & greet Ed and then to have him take care of our "baby". As first time users of Rover.com, our reluctance to get a sitter was over after talking to Ed. He was very accommodating in answering any questions we had. Ed was very friendly and nice to us and Rocky. His fenced backyard also added to our comfort in knowing Rocky would be safe! Definitely a Keeper!!”
“Our first time using Todd & Maureen G. They were so kind and loving to our dog and gave us such good feedback. We will definitely use them again.”
“Larisa is amazing! She boarded our 3 dogs in her home for a week. She is very professional and sweet. She is a real animal lover and it shows through her work. Our dogs had daily activities and walks. I know our dogs felt like they were home because of Larisas exceptional care and love for them. We will 100% be using Larisas services again. 10/10 would definitely recommend her!”
“Kumar took such good care of my dog! He was gentle, kind, fed him with very specific instructions and made my dog feel at home in his apartment. He sent photos and updates daily. I would highly recommend him as a dog sitter!”
“Erin was very accommodating to our last minute need for a sitter. She sent updates and pictures every day and was quick to respond. She made sure our dog was eating (hand feeding) even though he was nervous in a new setting. Our dog had a fun time playing with other dogs in her backyard. Would recommend!”
“Matt and Memphis were just great for our active lab. Lots of attention and regular walks. We received photos and updates twice a day. Without a doubt, we will have Matt first on our list for repeat Rover visits.”
“My dog, Brady, had a wonderful week with Bennet and her dog, Winter. He felt at home there and enjoyed having another dog around. Bennet is very caring and treats all the dogs as her own.”
“When we arrived at Shannon’s home, Archie ran to the door. He was so excited to stay for the second time. I felt the same way. During our absence, we received pictures several times. Shannon communicates well. Her smile is consistent with her loving care and flexibility to accommodate our schedule. I am so glad I got to know her and grateful for her care of our beloved dog. Without her, needing to leave Archie would result in much worry. With him in her care I know he is safe and having a wonderful time”
“The absolute best!!! Sent me pictures every day and made my baby feel so welcome❤️❤️❤️”
“Izy came through at the last minute when I couldn't find anyone else to take care of my dog, and took really good care of her”
“Jennifer (and her family) were absolutely amazing with our pup. I whole heartedly would recommend her to anyone. I received many pictures and updates on how he was doing during his stay. He came home loved and happy. Jennifer goes beyond what is expected and I truly believed loved him as his own. Great!! Great!! Great!!!”
About: From puppies and kittens. Senior dogs and cats and everything in between I have experience with. Uhm basically whatever their routine is just let me know and I can accommodate. Any special request just ask me and most likely will accommodate. I can give real time updates as needed just let me know. I treat someone's pet as my own. Please let me know your pets preferences. Thank you. Again pet care would fit into my routine via way of getting to know and knowing your pets routine. This will be my main focus. I take into consideration the pets needs and basically focus on that in an environment. Basically I just let them rest or do what it is they like to do daily.
“Murdock had an absolute blast with Wendy and the boys! He has slept like a rock since he has returned home. He is looking forward to his next stay!”
“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”
“Claire did great with Sansa. She was accommodating for us, took great care of our dog, and sent us updates and pictures as well! Sansa came home and acted just like normal, so I knew she was perfectly comfortable and that says a lot for me. Would use Claire again for sure!”
“I had never used an online pet sitting service before. I was on a waiting list for two boarding kennels. Went out of town for the weekend and Cher was very accommodating. She seems like a genuine pet lover. She had two smaller dogs that my small Pomeranian got along with well. She sent update photos of Cody and responded quickly to update requests. I was totally satisfied with her services and would let her watch Cody again and will be utilizing her services again in the future. Cody’s temperament when back home was normal and not like the usual shyness after a traditional kennel. I know he got play time with other dogs and did not have fear/separation anxiety with Cher and her small dogs. Thank you Cher. I am totally satisfied with the experience.”
About: Hi! Right now I currently dog sit for two dogs and I’ve had pets my whole life. I’ve had 4 dogs at one time with 2 cats. I love being around animals and have experience in watching dogs. I currently live in an apartment so I do not currently live with any animals. I have volunteered many times at the animals shelter by my home. I currently have a part time job so I can definitely fit watching pets into my schedule. I understand the need for care and am willing to try to fit your pet into my schedule I would provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pet. I would make sure the pet has water and food at all times. I would make sure the pet also takes all the medications if needed. Depending on the pets needs I would make sure there is time for exercise and play. For my home I would make sure the pet has a clean and safe environment. For the pet owners homes I would make sure to follow all instructions whether it’s feeding and medication instructions or behavioral techniques. I would make sure the animal is able to build trust and a good bond to make sure the pet is comfortable under my care.
