“Elizabeth welcome our new puppy with open arms. She gave us updates every day and some very cute pictures. We felt very at peace having her take care of newly added member of our family”
“Molly has watched our puppy a few times now. She has been dependable. She communicates well and gives updates about how he is doing. Our puppy feels right at home there and is excited when we drop him off!”
“My Sophie is a special needs dog being blind and diabetic. Jasmine and Brittany took such good care of her and I am so appreciative of their excellent, loving care. I won’t hesitate to use their service again. Thanks to both of them.”
“Jacob took the best care of our golden retriever, Nala, while we were gone for 8 days for our destination wedding! She loved playing in his fenced in backyard (which we saw in pictures he sent us). It was so nice leaving her knowing that Jacob works from home and would give her all of the attention outside of his working day (although I’m sure Nala tried to distract him during work too LOL). Couldn’t recommend anyone better to take care of your loved pet!!”
“They took very good care of my dog. Very friendly and were willing to take him last minute. Even sent some updated photos of him getting to know their pets. Would recommend them to others.”
“Bandit was happy to see Tawni when we went to her house today. As this was our first time, we had made a little visit ahead of time for Bandit to meet Tawni and her dog Ivy, a Jack Russell terrier. Bandit was glad to see Tawni and then when Ivy came out, they had a wonderful time playing all afternoon! Thanks, Tawni and Ivy for such a nice day! We got notes from Tawni on their playtime as the afternoon progressed and had no worries!”
“Kailey is amazing! She gave me updates of how Moose was doing and sent pictures of him. Her dog, Veela, is a sweetheart, and Moose took to her instantly. All in all, it was a great experience for the Mooster. ❤️ Thank you again.”
“Ashley was great. She gave us a few quick updates while we away. She seemed to enjoy having Ruby scratching and petting her upon drop off and pick up. We will keep Ashley in mind for other visits.”
“Kennedi has such a joyful presence—humble, responsible, and clearly a true dog lover! It was obvious from her profile, and even more so when we met her, that she genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and was excited to make a new pup friend. We were so grateful that she was available on short notice—just a week before our weekend trip. From the start, she was incredibly responsive and proactive, asking thoughtful questions to ensure a smooth transition for our pup. We sent her a document ahead of time to help her get to know Maple, and she not only reviewed it carefully but also followed up with insightful questions. During Maple’s stay, she made sure she got plenty of activity and fun. We loved receiving photo updates of a happy, relaxed Maple, which truly put our minds at ease. As a former Rover sitter myself, I can confidently say Kennedi is everything you'd want in a pet sitter. We highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Andy was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, who has a few health issues and can be a bit antisocial at times. He was incredibly patient, kind, and clearly experienced with dogs who need a little extra care and understanding. My pup has pancreatitis and a strict medication and feeding schedule, and Andy followed everything thoroughly—sending daily updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. He really respected my dog’s boundaries while still giving him plenty of comfort, which is not an easy balance to strike. I could tell he took the time to learn my dog’s quirks and adjust to his needs, which made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again—highly recommend if you are looking for a thoughtful caregiver for your pet! I will definitely be reaching out to Andy to watch my pup again in the future!”
“Sarah was super flexible with us. She seemed comfortable with a larger dog, and sent a picture and update to let us know everything was going well. We hope to use her again in the future.”
“Tyler and Caitlin are gold star sitters! They have watched our dog many times and I always trust them to take great care. They are communicative and treat our dog like she’s a member of their family while she’s there.”
“My dog Kylo stayed with Kim and her family for the first time for about a week, and although it’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving him with a new sitter, especially for an extended length of time, Kim was gracious and communicative before and during my trip. She sent photos and even reached out when he had some tummy issues so we could help him feel well again. I’m truly grateful to have found her and will definitely book with her again.”
About: I grew up showing my family dogs in 4-H shows and now have my own golden retriever at home. Looking to love on some more pets! Teacher SUMMER mode is in full swing so I am available during weekdays and weekends. Willing to set up a regular schedule with your pet! I have 75 pound dog of my own that I can keep ahold of walking. I’ve managed many pets of all sizes over the last three years on Rover with varying levels of need.
“Vera is an exceptional dog sitter. I have a little dog that often gets nervous and anxious around new situations but he warmed right up to her. She sent me pictures and checked in and he was obviously well cared for and had lots of cuddles. The only reason I would not recommend Vera is she would become very busy and I wouldn't be able to hire her again! I do highly recommend her and will reach out again when her services are needed.”
“Katie is Super nice! Loved getting a few photos during our absence. You can tell Katie is an animal lover. Very kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable about dogs! Thank you Katie! Owen misses you!”
