Emily did a great job with our 3 Cockers and they can be a handful. We received pictures everyday and they looked worn out after. We will definitely work with Emily again.

Elizabeth is wonderful and communicative. She asks great questions to be sure she is treating your pets the way you would (or better)! She even took my reactive dog for a walk when I gave her the option to just use the fenced yard. That was a big deal to me (and him)! Highly recommend.

First time using Rover and we had the good luck of choosing Heather. She was AMAZING with our elderly blind & deaf pug, so patient, kind and loving. She stayed at our house including overnight for 2 1/2 days, our first vacation in 6 months. We would not hesitate to have her take care of our girl again- great job Heather!

Laina was an excellent caretaker for Cooper. Cooper has lots of anxiety and needs lots of patience which Laina was able to provide. She had great communication the whole time and made me feel comfortable Cooper was cared for. As difficult as Cooper can be to handle she was able to do it. I would happily recommend Laina to anyone who wants their dog cared for properly for their specific needs. She even got Cooper to feel comfortable enough to lick her hand which is not like him with new people. Great communication, great care, ten out of ten experience, by far the best I could’ve hired. Thank you so much Laina!

Michael is absolutely fantastic. This was the second time he stayed with my pups. It was a unique situation involving a hospital stay and unknown discharge date. He was flexible and worked with me to ensure my pups were well taken care and never left alone.

About: I’ve been petsitting on and off for the last 8 years for dogs of all ages and sizes. Most recently I volunteered at a humane society where I worked with all types of dogs. Here, I socialized the animals, bathed them, and walked them. I love making pets feel special as best I can! I work Monday-Friday from 8-4:30. I would be able to come over before and/or after, and show them lots of love, especially in the afternoon/evening! My weekends are normally relaxed so I can be available when you need! I care for pets in a clients home by fitting myself into the animals' environment. I do my best to keep everything the same so the pet(s) will feel like nothing changed! I bring lots of love, fun, and belly rubs with me!

We are so thankful for Mallory watching our very sick pup while we were out of town for a few days. She went above and beyond to help keep our very high maintenance, sick girl a great couple of days. I would highly recommend Mallory to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter, especially if you have a dog with special needs. Thanks again Mallory.

About: I've lived with dogs my entire life and taken care of them since I was 10. I love all kinds of dogs and would love to work with any kind that is friendly. I currently dogsit for a lovely German shepherd with many allergies. I give him medication as needed and wipe his paws after potty time. I currently go to college M-F with Tuesdays and Thursdays being my longest day. If you need to schedule anything on those days please message me and we may work out a schedule. I do not offer service in my own home due to my own animals, but I would be willing to offer sitting business on the days I am available in the owners home. I care for the animals any way that the owner requests, such as light grooming, walking, playing, and feeding.

After meeting Brenda at our Meet & Greet, I had peace of mind that our four dogs (14-80 pounds) were going to be well cared for during our vacation, as well as our aquarium and pond fish. Brenda has a confident and calm demeanor that animals can sense, as well as a true love and passion for animals. She even took on additional duties of walking the dogs, putting out and bringing in bird feeders daily, mail and garbage duties, and maintaining the house perfectly. Brenda communicates promptly while you're away with any questions or concerns. We were so lucky to find a sitter that could handle a demanding multi-pet home with different needs and personalities with care, ease, and confidence. Brenda Deal

Elizabeth doesn't just sit your dogs she adopts them. Our Ella got very sick while we were gone and Elizabeth took such good care of her and kept us informed. I really can't say enough about how Elizabeth went out of her way to take care of our sick girl, her genuine concern and compassion was matched by actions.

JC was wonderful with our dogs and a fantastic house guest! She was very timely and easy to communicate with. We needed her last minute and she made a meet and greet happen before hand. I loved receiving daily pictures and videos of my dogs playing and snuggling with her. Would highly recommend her!

About: I have had pets and cared for pets my entire life. Currently I have a pig, 2 dogs, 2 cats , a rabbit, and a gecko! We are animal people! I have fostered heart worm positive dogs, have had dogs with special needs, and cared for multiple friends animals. I have experience with farm animals as well. I am a teacher but will be off for the summer starting June 2nd. I am available all day ; I have a 6 year old and 10 year old son that may be with sometime. They both love animals dearly; my 10 year old has a deep connection with all animals I have a fenced yard with lots of room to run. I have 2 medium sized very friendly dogs, 2 indoor/outdoor cats, and a pig that is outside. My dogs sleep either in my bed or on their beds in my home. They loved to hang outside when it is nice out. They love to just chill on our porch. They are fed twice daily . I am a special education teacher so currently have open availability. Once I go back to work mid August I will have early morning and late afternoon/evening on week days and weekends. My dogs, cats and pig are all fed twice daily. My animals love exploring in our yard, chasing squirrels and lounging on the porch. They also LOVE to come in ajd snuggle in the bed with us. When I have clients dogs in my home I treat them as I would my own dogs. Lots of love , pets, and play time. When I do in home visits I make sure the animal gets as much attention as possible during my visits so that they don’t miss their family.

Laura took such good care of my boys while we were away on a trip! I could tell my dogs were comfortable with her. She sent pictures and updates daily and I appreciate that she spent time with them; she wasn’t just coming in, taking care of their needs and then leaving again. I won’t hesitate to book her again when needed.

Itzia did a great job of taking care of our two crazy pups. She sent videos and pictures daily to keep us updated on how they were doing. Unfortunately, we experienced a power outage during Itzia’s stay and she made sure that they were doing well in spite of this. I would certainly recommend Itzia to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Wow! Kayla was responsive, clear, thoughtful, considerate, adaptable, smart, practical, great listener and had great energy. We didn't have a good experience with our first sitter from Rover and we're reluctant to try it again. Kayla not only renewed our faith in Rover but in humanity as a whole. I just can't say enough great things about Kayla. And what a great sense of humor.

Leo is a fantastic dogsitter. He is a warm and grounded person who clearly loves dogs! We left for an extended vacation of over two weeks and needed an exceptional caregiver. We felt lucky to find Leo. He clearly connected with our 6 month old Kangal who is a wonderful dog - full of energy and very independent minded who needs someone loving and caring like Leo. Leo is attentive to detail, very responsive and professional in all his interactions. He left the house immaculate. We look forward to working with him again!!
