Kiersten is very easy to communicate with and took great care of my dog, Luna. She sent me lots of pictures of their time together and was very flexible when our plans changed. I would definitely hire her again.

Thank you Sarah for taking such great care of our girl. We came home to a very happy girl. We received lots of updates and photos. This was Sarah’s first stay with Sadie, but definitely won’t be the last!

Jordan was incredible and gave us complete comfort during our time away from our fur baby. She sent pictures often to let us see how happy and content he was. When we got home he was all brushed and looked and felt amazing. We will definitely request Jordan again to take care of him again when we are away.

About: Ive been caring for pets for many years. I had a dog walking business over a decade ago. We taken care of our own and others elderly dogs. We like taking dogs on long off leash walks in groups if possible. Dogs are always welcome to cuddle up on the furniture. Im a stay at home-mom, homeschooling. We go to play groups and trips but we can plan our day around dog walks. We take the dogs out first thing in the morning on leash as our yard isnt fenced. We are happy to come feed kitties and water plants. We love taking dogs out on walks and caring for them in our home. We love going on long walks mid day out in nature

Julisa was wonderful - she stayed in frequent contact, sent pictures and, when our rascal of a dog breached the fence and ran off, she immediately got on the phone with me and we tracked him down at a neighbor’s house. I know what a terrible feeling that is when watching someone else’s furry babies and Julisa handled it so well.

We had a great experience with Lori house sitting our American Bully & Pit mix. Lori asked questions ahead of time, reviewed our instructions, and sent us text and photo updates. We couldn't have asked for anything more. We really appreciated all of her communication.

Amanda was awesome. My Nani girl who is leery of strangers took to right away upon meeting her the first time. She kept in contact and let me know how the pups were doing and sent pics too. All the dogs seemed very happy and calm when we got home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life, from childhood through adulthood. I’ve looked after my own dogs as well as my mom’s and other family members’ dogs, giving me experience with different breeds, energy levels, and routines. I’m active and enjoy walks—especially longer walks for dogs who need extra exercise or endurance. I’m detail-oriented, follow owner instructions closely, and understand how important consistency is. I also have experience administering medication and providing attentive, reliable care. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and routine always come first As a parent, I maintain a reliable and flexible schedule. I am consistently available during school hours every week. In addition, on alternating weeks, I have open availability Monday through Sunday, allowing for extended care, walks, and last-minute requests during those weeks. Your pet’s safety comes first. I’m detail-oriented with medications and care instructions and always follow owner guidelines closely. I choose safe environments for walks and play and care for every animal with patience, attentiveness, and the same level of responsibility I would give my own.

Amanda was AMAZING for our house sitting booking. She took such good care of our pitbull and cat. She really connects with animals and they absolutely love her. Our cat, who normally hates strangers and always hides, was curled up on her lap by the first night. We will definitely be booking her again!

About: I am an active human and love the companionship of dogs for walks and hikes, as well as a snuggle on the couch. I have cared for puppies as well as senior dogs. I am currently unemployed and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule as well as appreciate the routine of pet care to help me build routine of my own in this moment of unemployment. It is important for me to learn before caring for a pet about their quirks and it is my goal to build trust both with you and your furry friend

About: I've lived with and cared for dogs for many years of my adult life. I've regularly taken my friends and housemates dogs for runs, hikes, and even watched them for weekends at a time. I enjoy the company of dogs and have a natural affinity for them. I have flexible availability due to working part time from home. I live with my partner in a house that we have all to ourselves, close to many fun hiking and nature spots for dogs to enjoy! Currently working part time and hoping to fill the rest of my time caring for your pets! I have rejoined rover recently to prioritize pet care at this time :) I have a safe and cozy home environment, and am very respectful while in others homes, always hoping to leave it a little better than I found. Either that be a little tidier, a kind note, or a snack, for either humans or pets!

John dog sat for us when we went away for 8 days. Maggie was well taken care of. He sent us pictures with updates every day without fail. He was very accommodating the last day when our plane was delayed, and he offered to take care of Maggie for an additional night!

Our time away as so much better than I imagined! Our animals LOVED Nichole and all the time she spent with them. We have some unique personalities over here that require patience and gentleness. All of our animals are rescues from terrible situations, and because of that, we have never left them in the care of someone else. But, our son got married and we had to be a part of his day. Thank you for allowing us that, Nichole. We are so happy to have found you and look forward to enjoying life a little bit more ♥️

Nichole was a great dog sitter—kept it short, but our pups were clearly happy and well cared for. If you need a responsible adult to look after your fur babies, she’s the one! Thanks Nichole!
