My pup Billy is almost always standoffish with new people, barking at them and acting aggressive. Not only did Billy not bark when he first met Molly, he took to her right away and begged her to pet him and scratch his belly. He trusted Molly right away, and Molly showed that she deserved to be trusted as she knew all the right behaviors for taking care of a dog. It was clear Molly has tons of experience with pets and finds a lot of joy in being a caregiver, treating the pets as if they are her own.

Matt was an excellent sitter for Max. In addition, he left my home in the same condition as when he arrived. I will not hesitate to seek his services again.

I have trusted Ana with my fur babies for about 6 years now. She began house sitting and walking them at a time when I was traveling a lot for work, and needed someone I could trust to care for them. I am so thankful to have found her. I have two dogs, a German Shepherd and French bulldog, and a cat. They all love Ana like family and are always excited when she comes to visit.

I recommend Elizabeth as a Rover walker/sitter. She is currently pursuing an animal science degree and although dogs are not the primary focus of said degree, she has a lot of university background and education on dogs (including anatomy, behavior, and nutrition). I have recommended and used Elizabeth as a personal dog and pet sitter multiple times and have always been beyond satisfied with the results. She is very attentive and provides regular updates on my pets and is always ready to help and/or accommodate specific needs of my pets (for example my 16 year old lab who needed to occasionally be carried and use a supportive harness). She is truly a dedicated animal lover and I highly recommend her.

Ava is a natural around dogs. She has both personal and professional experience walking them and spending time with them, as she is the owner of a part French/part English bulldog. She is energetic and warm and even more importantly, she is comfortable reading the vibe of animals to understand when to go near other dogs, and when to gently pull away. I would highly recommend Ava! You will have a very happy pup!

I can’t say enough about Bianca! She stayed for a week in my home with my dog and cat, both who are a little needy at times. She sent pictures and updates everyday I was out of town, and I returned from my trip to happy animals and a tasty GF scone Bianca so thoughtfully left for me. I’ll definitely be reaching out to her in the future for pet and house sitting needs!

Sailor did a great job taking care of my dog, Mo. He was very calm and happy when I came home and, more than anything, I appreciated how communicative Sailor was throughout my travels. My dog can take some time to warm up to people, but he took an immediately liking to Sailor, which was wonderful to see. I'll definitely be trusting Sailor again to take care of my dog!

Olivia was excellent! She stayed at our house and watched over our dog and 2 cats for 5 days. Our dog had a wonderful time with her. She took him swimming and on other adventures during her stay. She shared photos and was quick to respond to our questions. We will definitely have her back!

Sari was a dream come true... My oh so shy Native American Indian dog loved her! And she takes a while to warm up but I think she knew Sari was a good fit. Which left me at ease. Sari was willing to do multiple meet and greets just to ease my dog's nervousness around new people, she was also communicative and brought things to my attention as needed. I highly recommend!!
