This was our first, successful booking with Rover and Brad was awesome. He was on time and our dogs liked him from the start. We hope to have Brad again in the future. Highly recommend him!

I was so nervous to leave Gus for the first time. From the moment I met Brooke, I felt at ease. She is such a fun, friendly, honest person. She went above and beyond for Gus and I was so relieved. She sent pics while we were away which helped so much. Now she feels like one of the family!

From day one Christian was professional and willing to work with our not so friendly boy. We got hourly updates with pictures on our animals. One of our animals got sick while we were away and Christian was great with extra cuddles and provided what was needed. We had no worries or hesitations about our kitties and dogs while we were away.

Elizabeth was fantastic! She sent pics and updates throughout the day while we were out! Our boy, Mav, was wiped out when we got home! He is about 3 1/2 yr old spoiled rotten Sheepadoodle! We would HIGHLY recommend her for your fur baby! She is kind and very patient - Mav took to her immediately!

Megan saved me from having to cancel my trip. I had a different sitter book that canceled on me less than 24 hrs before I was supposed to leave. I messaged Megan and she was able to watch my 4 fur babies last minute. She did a wonderful job. They were happy. The house was clean. I will definitely book her again for future vacations!

Pennie was everything my dogs and I needed! From the first contact to the very end she was responsive and great to work with. She was able to handle my overly excited dogs when she arrived, her calm demeanor helped them settle quickly. Pennie kept their normal schedule and my dogs were completely content that I was away, this made my very happy and settled my nerves about leaving them. Pennie will be my go to for now on.

About: I have always had dogs growing up. I have over 10 years of experience with dog sitting and walking, and I love taking care of them and loving on them. Animals have a way of speaking to my heart and I love to play with them and spoil them with love. They’re great cuddle buddies and are always there for you Even on your worst days. This is my passion and I’m here to help you out with your fur babies! RULES FOR DOG SITTING: I am stating this because of my personal experience on the app. All dogs must be bathed before sitting. I am going to be taking care of your fur baby, so I expect them to be sanitary while they are in my home just as you expect me to keep your fur baby safe and healthy. All supplies required for your dog during their stay must be brought to the home upon sitting. I am unable to spend money for dog supplies. Thank you in advance! I currently work nights 4 days a week. I will be home to watch and care for your fur babies during the day while they are awake and have 3 days off to spend with them! I can watch max two of your fur babies at a time as long as they get along with other dogs. I am not accepting cats to watch right now In my home.

Bethany and Aaron did a great job with our three dogs for the two nights at our house. Bethany sent pictures every day and was really responsive when we reached out to follow up with her. Her and Aaron were really flexible with the schedule and we felt comfortable having them care for our pups. I would recommend.

About: Hello, ROVER FAMILY!! It is a complete honor to give you a brief story about my pet experience that led to my ROVER account being created and listed. I grew up in Virginia and my family had both cats and dogs. I attended pet visits with my grandmother, where the family pet recieved shots and nutrition check ups. I worked along side with my grandfather, while walking, feeding and bathing them as well. I also cared after my pet boxer, Sasha, as she gave birth to 2 litters. My brother and I took turns walking, playing and interacting with our childhood pets, and we enjoyed outdoor time around them. I understand how important rendering the best care to your pets can mean to you. Their safety, their eating lifestyle, and their health is an important key factor, and It is how they live longer!! My daughter is now home for summer break, and that means that I am free for more ROVER bookings than in a regular school year. PET CARE will be given in the homes of PET PARENTS only. I will follow guidlines and rules as needed, that will be provided by the owner.

Brooke was very attentive during our walk thru. She ensured all her questions were answered and sent update pics of our pack while we were away. She was very flexible with our needs and we are grateful for that. I felt very comfortable leaving our senior dogs in her care with her many years of Veterinary experience. Thanks Brooke!

Devin took great care of our 2 big, energetic dogs and our house cats. She took our dogs on daily walks, played with them and administered meds, all while keeping us updated through many photos and messages. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Devin again and would recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and kind pet sitter.
