I am very happy with how our dogs seemed to enjoy her visit. Vivian was prompt and communicated with us. I am very happy to have her take care of our girls. I will definitely have her again.

Absolutely wonderful. Never had to worry about what my girls were up to to or how they were doing. Rachael kept me well informed while I was out of town. Definitely, I will schedule again.

Angie was wonderful!!! She took such good care of our (not spoiled) cats. We explained how to feed them, and the litter box cleaning, and she did it perfectly!! I texted and asked if she could let my sister in to get my tax information (I was in Omaha and needed to file my taxes) and she helped me out with that! Angie went above and beyond in helping us with our cats. I can not say enough good things about Angie!! We will use her again!! We were so happy with how she took care of our cats!!!! Thank you, Angie!!!

Caitlyn is AMAZING. She truly loves and cares for your dog, whether it’s her first visit or her hundredth. She provides the upmost care, and never rushes. She shares time with your dog because she wants to, not because she has to. She has fantastic communication and truly goes above and beyond every time. I will continue to book with Caitlyn for as long as she lets me!!

As a new Rover.com patron I am very impressed with the care Karla K. provided for my cat Cupid. She came over ahead of time to meet him and familiarize herself with the layout of my home and I felt comfortable immediately by her friendliness and professionalism. During my time on vacation Karla texted me everyday to give me kitty "progress reports," sent photos of Cupid (under the bed mostly), and wrote a simple daily journal. He was well-fed and looked after, even if he barely introduced himself because of shyness. Karla K. will be the first one I will contact the next time I need a caregiver and will gladly refer her and Rover.com to friends and family. I am so glad that I chose this source for quality pet care and really appreciate the comforting 24-hour customer service!

About: I have taken care of all size and breed of dog. I’ve had pets all my life! I have a passion for animals. I would love to be able to give your pet(s) the love and care they need while you’re away ❤️ I work at a school. I can do before 8am and after 4pm Monday-Friday Weekends I’m free unless blacked out on my calendar. Summer months: my schedule opens up more. I am not afraid of any pet and I am very knowledgeable when it comes to animals but you know your pet best! I’m happy to accommodate any rules you have for your babies.

Heather was so wonderful with our puppies! This was the first time we used Rover and she did awesome about sending pictures and letting us know they were happy and safe. We will certainly ask Heather again in the future to help look after our four legged babies 😊

Jenevieve was absolutely amazing! She came over for a quick meet and greet before we were planning to be gone. While we were gone I got so many pictures for each visit, she was right on time and made an extra effort to wear our puppy out since he was in his kennel all day. We were so nervous to leave him but Jenevieve was amazing and put our minds at ease ☺️

She did a wonderful job caring for my sick and yet very energetic husky. Super nice woman and a very good caretaker. My husky threw a temper tantrum when she saw me walk through the front door instead of Farra 😂

About: I have lots of experience working with dogs with Thyroid disorders, joint problems, hip problems, diabetes, and special diets. I'm very flexible. All you have to do is ask and we'll see. I've had Chocolate Labs, Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Poodles, Terriers, and Shih Tzus. I love animals especially puppies and dogs. I am also willing to watch your cats if you also have them. I wanted to be a veterinarian or veterinary assistant but I didn't quite have the grades for it so that's why I decided to become a dog sitter, a dog walker, pet care taker, dog lover, and pet lover. I will take the best care of your pet and love it like my very own. Hope to hear from you soon. I'm available for house sitting on weekends and some week nights just ask me. Availability for pet care all week depending on the hours needed. I always accompany pets when they are outside even in a fenced in yard. I take short or long walks depending on what is requested.

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I do have a pup of my own, but am still sitting for those that are in need and don’t mind another dog in the home! I am also doing dog-walks and pop-ins! I work from home so your pup wont be alone. Weekends are usually open. I love all sizes and can’t help but spoil any one I meet! I have experience with both small and larger dogs. I would love to walk or jog with your pet, even if it is cold outside depending on what they can handle. Feel free to message me with any questions! I work for myself and from home so I am able to adjust my work schedule pretty well. No dogs have needed to be kenneled while working. I have a pup of my own that loves to play with others. If they do not get along, I have a gate at that can keep them separate-although I have not had this issue yet. We have a big crate that can home your pup when we are out of the house.

Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.

Always a great job. Did have a slight issue with one of our dogs being a little defiant about coming back inside but he got things taken care of pretty quickly and easily. Thanks for taking care of them so well!

Kimberly is the best sitter we’ve had through Rover. She’s so thoughtful and makes sure our kitty, Sadie, isn’t just cared for, but loved while we’re gone as well! Sadie adores her and so do we!
