Arianna is a wonderful, efficient, personal, and caring dog sitter. She stayed at my residence for a full week and did an excellent job of caring for my dog Tigger as well as frequently communicating, through texts and photos, regarding his care! She is caring, capable, responsible, and trustworthy. During her stay she and Tigger experienced severe storms and her attention to the safety of Tigger and herself was paramount as well as ensuring the care of my home. I highly recommend her as a sitter; she certainly deserved the 5 star rating!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3-4 years. I have knowledge of cleaning, feeding, and walking dogs. Mostly my neighbors have asked me to pet sit, but I do have good experience. I’m currently working part-time at a nursing home, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I’m going to college this fall and looking for some extra money. In your home I usually make sure that all the doors are locked so no one tries to break in, and I usually don’t let the animal I’m sitting out of my site.

Jody went out of her way to take care of my dog, Ama. She really connected with her and you can see that she has a lot of experience working with dogs and is very passionate about them. Ama really enjoyed their walks together. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of

We were really nervous to have someone come watch our two dogs (one with special needs) while we were on vacation for 4 days. We typically have my mother watch them so we knew noone that we felt comfortable with and that felt comfortable taking care of our dogs that would be able to stay if we took a vacation. We found Katie on Rover and are so glad we did and appreciate all the wonderful care she's given to our dogs! We felt much more at ease and could actually enjoy our time away as she gave multiple updates and sent pictures. We will be having Katie watch our dogs again and again!

We were very pleased with Leora. We called her two days before we needed her. It was our the first time. She stayed at our house to watch our Willie. She came a half hour before we left. We went over all the information with her and she asked questions if she needed to. During the time here she sent updates and pictures of Willie which put us at ease. The most important thing to us was giving Willie his shots of insulin. I would strongly recommend Leora. I'm sure we will use her again.
