Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!

Anthony stayed with my dog for about two weeks while I was out of town. He had great communication the entire time and took good care of my dog and my house. I recommend Anthony and will continue to request him when I need a petsitter!

We cannot recommend Adam enough as a house/dog sitter. It is always so hard to find someone trustworthy enough to stay in our home and take care of our amazing boy. Adam was communicative, trustworthy, and reliable allowing for us to have a relaxing vacation knowing that our pup was safe. We have a 2 year old doberman who is not always the quickest to warm up to people, however he took to Adam quickly and truly enjoy his stay with him. In addition, the house was in excellent condition when we returned and Loki was happy and well exercised. Will absolutely book Adam again for future sitting opportunities and strongly recommend him to sit your pup.

About: I've had a family dog for 6 years now and I love taking care of her, she means the world to me. I've also cared for neighbors' dogs for both single days and overnight multiple days. I enjoy cats as well, I don't own any but I have taken care of a neighbor's cat multiple times and I have numerous friends who own cats that I enjoy being around. I'm currently a student and I will be doing clinical rotations at hospitals this summer so I am not available every day, however they only take place 3 days a week so I am completely free 4 days a week and have some limited time after clinicals one day. I recently moved and do not have any pets at my current location. I could take a pet to my place but prefer going to a client's home.

Shannon is the very best pet sitter!! She is so good with our very needy pit bull and our very shy cat! Our dog had an injury before we left and we would have had to cancel our trip if we didn’t have Shannon for a sitter. She’s so attentive, patient and kind and it gives us such peace of mind when we are away. My pets love her. When we get home, our dog sits by the window for a couple of days looking for her!! She also sends lots of photos (professional quality!) and updates throughout her stay. We highly recommend her!

Jasmine was so attentive and communicative when caring for our old lady, Nike. Jasmine followed directions and made sure that not only our dog was looked after but also our home. Jasmine is truly a caregiver at heart and this makes for a great Rover friend, who sends many photo updates and knows how to manage animals.

About: I have had my own family dog, Mabel, since 2018. I have been pet sitting for my friends and neighbors for years. I’m always good for a long walk, playtime in the fenced yard, or just relaxing on the couch. I’m a college student home for the summer. I am available every day and night except Tuesdays and Thursdays 9-5. I am flexible to work around your schedule and what works for your pet. My friendly dog, Mabel, who is a Mini Goldendoodle will love to play with your dog in my fenced in yard. All pets will be cared for with my full attention and plenty of pictures will be sent your way!

She is by far exactly what we were looking for and Chance seemed to absolutely adored her! 💗

Attentive to my cats, responsive to communication with me, and overall a responsible and kind person I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with for several days. Danielle took great care of them and connected with them quickly and easily upon her first visit. My cats were well cared for, as was my home. It was almost hard to tell someone else had been there. I would recommend Danielle if you are looking for a warm and friendly person to care for your pets and send you daily updates with photos. She did a great job and would definitely hire again.
