Svitlana did great with Otto's nervous mom (me). She sent plenty of photos, updates, and reassurance. Otto felt comfortable at the house during his doggie daycare stay. He was relaxed enough to eat, sleep, and play. I rarely have anyone watch Otto, but we'll return if Svitlana is available when needed in the future.

what is a very awesome Rover mommy I’m very funny where I leave my puppy and she took care of her better than if she was her own puppy she even trimmed her nails for me. I definitely will be returning to Paula again many times she is more than a five star sitter thank you so much, Paul

Bertie was amazing! It was my first time using Rover as a pet owner, and I needed a sitter for the day while on vacation. My puppy is still fairly young and is very attached to me, but she appeared to settle in pretty quickly and have a great time with some other pups. Bertie stayed in touch while I was out, sending pics and updates, and even recommended some great local spots to check out. Super happy with this experience!

About: I’ve lived around animals my entire life, and I have endless love and patience for animals of all kinds. My number one priority is to make your animal feel cared for. I’m currently working a part time job that I spend about 15 hours at a week, but my hours are very flexible and I can work around almost anything! I will take pets on walks and/or feed them, give them water and make sure they have everything they need to be happy and healthy I have my own dogs that I care for throughout the day, but as a part time worker I have a lot of free time in the day to tend to your pets needs! I can stay with your pets in their own home, and I have my own dog who is very sweet who loves to make new friends. My goal is to spend quality time with your pets and make them feel cared for in the time I spend with them.

This was my first time using the Rover app and booking with Hannah was super easy. I'm so grateful that she was able to accodmodate a very late request, literally a day before to care for my puppy while I had to work and my hubby out of town. He seemed to have had a wonderful time with Hannah and her pets. I appreciated the updates about my pup during his stay. We love Hannah and look forward to booking with her again if needed. Thank you Hannah!

Jani and Paul are amazing sitters for my dog, Lucky! 🐾 I always pick him up from their home and he’s happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. They’re so reliable and thorough and always fill out his report card right away, so I know exactly how his stay went. I really appreciate the care and attention they give him. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for most of my life and truly love working with them. Since the age of 10, I’ve looked after dozens of dogs, volunteered at multiple shelters, and trained two puppies. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes from tiny 8 pound pups to large 100 pound dogs. I would be honored to watch your dog and can promise they’ll receive plenty of attention, care, and love while in my hands. I already have a dog to walk on a daily basis and I am home for most of every day. I will have the free time to take care of your dog to the best of my ability. I have a dog crate, homemade dog house, and an organized 3 story house the dog can stay in and roam around. There is a small front yard and a large area outback for space to walk.

Jenny is a wonderful dog sitter. Couldn’t recommend her more highly. She helped care for my golden after her cancer diagnosis and made sure she had lots of fun, attention, and happy times. Also wonderful handling the less glamorous parts of medicine and appetite changes. Tons of photos and updates, and incredibly flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Very grateful to have had Jenny as a sitter, thank you!

Mary and her family did such an amazing job taking care of Buttercup. I definitely felt very comfortable each day and prior to booking. Mary worked with my early morning drop offs and long work hours which is much appreciated. The frequent pictures and updates were an added bonus. I definitely look forward to booking in the future! Thank you so much again

I had a great experience with Jordan caring for my two hound puppies! She was available on short notice and was flexible with timing and sent pictures and updates during the sit. Both pups seemed to do well with her and were sleepy and happy at pick up!
