“Alison was great with our dogs. She was right on time did everything perfect. Was very comfortable with her and made is very less stressful to be able to go away and not worry. Great communication. Will definitely try to book in the future. So far the one the best we have had from rover.”
“Georgia was superb. She not only took excellent care of our dog and cat, but also of our home. Both of our pets seemed very relaxed upon of our return, and showed no signs of stress at all. This means something, as our dog is getting older and is generally a pretty anxious dog. Georgia seems to have a special touch with animals, and we would love to use her as a sitter again in the future.”
“Ariel stayed two nights at my home with my dogs and I am so grateful to have found her. I’m an incredibly anxious dog mom and she is so compassionate and understanding of that and took such great care of my dogs and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. My dogs absolutely love her! I highly recommend her. She’s reliable and communicative and I’m looking forward to having her stay with them again soon!”
About: I've always been around animals growing up. I've cared for all different kinds of livestock, cats, dogs, and small animals like bunnies and reptiles (no snakes or spiders though yet). And I love every minute of it. I have over 10 years of professional pet caring experience. I've house/pet sat for family members before. And local people in my town. I've also worked and still work in horse boarding barns, small family owned barns, and a local large animal sanctuary. I've even volunteered at my local animal hospital multiple times. I'm always willing to bend to the clients personal request when it comes to caring for their fur babies and homes. Right now I'm still in school until June 8th 2025. I have 3 jobs. One is seasonal and 2 are year around. So my schedule has a lot going on. Luckily my jobs are pretty flexible making things like house/pet sitting doable. I'm a very patient person. So when it comes to dealing with pets and tasks I take things one step at a time. My pets are well loved and know it. I have never gotten a complaint from any past or present client. I am more then willing to communicate different needs and come up with a plan to make your pets and you getting to know me a good and relieving experience. I'm also more then happy to give regular updates and send lots of pictures.
“We had a wonderful experience with Shannon! She followed our directions perfectly, making sure our dog felt comfortable and cared for. She even gave him lots of cuddles, which he loved. We found her to be reliable and trustworthy, and it was great to know our dog was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Brooke was a great sitter for our fur baby! She and Dude bonded at their first meeting. We received pictures and an update daily while we were gone. We would definitely have Brooke stay with Dude again.”
“Ilia is a wonderful sitter. In the single night she spent with our cats, they were clearly happy, content and not missing us at all. It is such a gift to have someone like Ilia care for our beloved animals. Thank you.”
“Maria was fantastic with Juniper and Grace. Really. She shared regular photos (good ones too!) and videos so she put us at ease so we could enjoy our time away. She is a real professional and easy going too. It was always a pro”
About: Hello, I'm Ren and I'm a student looking to get to know the area and spend some time with your dog(s)! I have experience caring for small- to medium- sized dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. My schedule is currently pretty flexible, though I will be less available when the semester begins. I've always had two dogs while growing up and often dog sit for family friends and neighbors. I'm easy to work with, attentive to every need, and eager to care for your dog(s)!!! I'm currently a student at Sterling College so I'll be available early mornings (before 8am) and evenings (after 6:30pm). This is subject to change throughout the school year. My experience with pet care includes walking, feeding, bathing, playing, and cuddling. I'm open to learning to care for other pets as well as how to care for pets with other required assistance.
“Heavenly Hayley! My cats are demanding and complicated little goblins but Hayley made me feel like she was their biggest fan. I knew Hayley was indulging all their quirky needs so my time away was even more fun and relaxed. Her presence made everyone's life better. I hesitate to write the review she deserves because she will get too popular on Rover and I might never be able to leave home again.”
“Faye was a great dog sitter! She was on time, communicative, and flexible with our changing schedule. Our dog was on medication that prohibited strenuous exercise and Faye was very mindful of taking short and calm walks with our dog. I would definitely use Faye again next time I am in the area.”
“Steven took great care of my dog while I was away for about a week. It was a last minute trip and Steven was incredibly flexible to help me out in a pinch. He sent updates and pictures throughout the week to let me know that all was well. Thank you!”
“Brandon was awesome! Great communicator and great with our dog. Our house was well cared for and Brandon was highly accommodating when our weekend was cut short due to mechanical issues in our home.”
About: Having been a pet owner for all my life, I am familiar with all sizes and temperaments of dog and cat breeds. I also have experience caring for bunnies, birds and livestock. I’m recently retired so I’ll have plenty of time to spend with your pets. My house is available if you need boarding or I can come to you. When your dog is in my care they will not be off-leash while outdoors unless you have a safe space for them, such as a fenced-in yard. They will get pets and cuddles, treats and exercise. I will follow your written instructions for their care and require your cell number as well as access to your vet.
“Julia is a communicative, responsive and loving sitter. She took excellent care of my high-maintenance dog while I traveled abroad for an extended period of time. She put my anxiety about the process to bed within the first couple of days. I would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family.”
