Mark did a great job with Ruby. When he said that he takes a lot of pictures, he did not exaggerate! He stayed 3 nights at our house. She was happy and well cared for. Mark also left the house very clean. No dirty dishes and the sheets and towels were being washed. ( We got back early) We will use him again.

Outstanding sitter! She took exceptional care of our dogs and treated them like her own. We were especially grateful for how calmly and confidently she handled Pearl during a low blood sugar episode — it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way. We came home to happy pups and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!

We love Nick! My boys always have a great time with him and I always have a worry-free time away from home. I couldn’t be more impressed how well he handles my dogs and how good is his communication

The day before leaving town, our senior dog turned up with a mystery paw injury-which meant he had trouble getting outside, eating, everything. Elena didn’t hesitate to take on the extra work and to give him (plus our other dog and cats) the TLC he needed to heal up. Everyone seemed happy and well cared for when we returned!

Grace was terrific! I needed someone at my home while I was away to keep up my two cat’s routine and allow them to use their patio while I was away. She took great care of them and my protective cat had someone to watch over. She also took great care of my home. I will definitely book with her in the future if I can get myself to be away from my fur babies again.

Josh and Susan have watched our 2 pups 3 times now and we couldn’t be happier. It’s the best feeling going away and knowing our pets are in good hands. The pics they send are always a great bonus. We will definitely use them again. 😊

About: Love spending time with animals. I enjoy cuddling grooming walking feeding and caring for dogs. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life I’m invested in pet sitting as a full time job. But until my clientele builds up I do work a part-time job a few days a week. I’ll treat your pet and home as if it were my own. With me watching your pet in the convenience of your home their stress levels will lessen and i will follow their normal daily routines. I do not discriminate against any breed or size of the animal. I myself have a mix breed dog that is mostly Staffordshire Terrier. She has some retriever, american pittbull, boxer, and pointer. She’s the greatest. However most of my life I have had small dogs. The ones who think they are the size of a mastiff! I trained puppies for two years through PetSmart and worked there for four years. I have had dogs all my life. Let me take care if your dog(s) while you are away! I currently work just a couple days a week part-time hours so my availability to set a routine is very open. My availability allows me to spend quality time with your pet throughout the day and evening as well. I will follow all routines you currently use to ensure the ease of your being away and safety to your pet. If your pet needs to be crated I can do that but if you prefer they sleep in the bed with me Im good with that too!

Anthony was not only prompt, but also came for a meet and greet prior to his scheduled stay. He was very respectful of my home and very in tune with my dog needs and I truly appreciated his dedication to making my dog feel very special while I was away.

Christine made us feel very at ease during our meet & greet and our boys both loved her right away. Throughout her in-home stay, she was communicative and send photos consistently (very important!) Before she left she even cleaned around our house and washed the sheets, which was above and beyond our expectations. We will definitely book her again!

As a first time user with Rover, we were unsure what to expect. I saw that Haley and Tyler came with very positive reviews and had experience with Northern breeds, so my expectations were quite hopeful. We set up house sitting for our Everest as he’s getting older and had health problems during our last kennel experience. I wanted to provide him with a stress free time at home while we’re were out of town for 10 days. Haley was just phenomenal in all ways possible; from communicating, photos and videos sent, and overall care for our big guy. She ensured that he was happy and cared for, and put our minds at ease while we were far away from home. I will definitely use Haley and Tyler’s services again, and would recommend them to anyone needing personalized care for their fur babies.

Bri was an incredible dog sitter! I was nervous about having someone take care of my dogs for the first time, especially since one of them has seizures. However, Bri came to meet the dogs and they instantly fell in love with her. She reassured me that she has experience administering medications and working with actively seizing dogs in the past. Throughout the week, Bri stayed in touch with us, sending pictures of the dogs and keeping us updated on everything. We truly appreciate everything Bri did for our dogs over the weekend. We will definitely be rebooking her services when we need a dog sitter again! !
