Rebeccah is clearly cut out for this work! Even on a holiday she showed up and took care of my 3 pets. I'd hire her again in a hot second, and will, if I need a pet sitter!

Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.

I was nervous at first using a complete stranger to keep an eye on my 2 cats while I went away for a few days. That all went away upon meeting Sharon! Right off the bat I new I'd be comfortable leaving my cats in her care. You can genuinely tell her love for animals right away! She came twice a day to look after Linus and Lucy and I loved the fact that each visit ended with pictures of the 2. Everything went smooth while I was gone and I was able to enjoy my mini vacation knowing my 2 cats were in good hands! This was my first time not only using Rover but using Sharon. It definitely won't be the last time! Thank you Sharon for everything you do to make our pets feel comfortable while we are away!!!!

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

Vanessa was amazing with Ellie! She made sure she had good walks and took time to play ball with her. Vanessa is very friendly, professional, and responsive. She took the time to meet her beforehand to make sure Ellie was comfortable. We enjoyed reading about Ellie’s time with Vanessa and loved seeing our fur baby in some pictures! This was our first time leaving her in the care of another in our home and Ellie seemed happier and more comfortable than boarding or being left with family members. Highly recommend!

About: I have my own puppy named Bella. I have had her since she was a puppy and she is now 15 years old! I also rescued a Japanese chin, Oreo, who has passed in 2023. I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for quite some time. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Pet care doesn't feel like a job for me. It is more of an enjoyable hobby that is part of my daily routine. I do work a full time job during the week, 8 hours per day. If your pet is unable to be left alone for that time period, I may not be the best option for you. If you book during the weekend, I can promise you I will be home with your pet 24/7. I do not accept weekends if I can’t fulfill being with them the entire time. I have one spayed small quiet dog at my own home. She can easily be crated as need be and are quite adaptable to changes and new faces.
