This was our first time using Rover. We had been nervous about leaving our dog for a vacation since we got her because of her many quirks and eccentricities. Erika was the absolute best sitter we could have asked for. She was so understanding and worked with our dog everyday to make sure her needs were met while making her as comfortable and at-ease as possible. She sent us constant updates and pictures which made us know she was in the best care possible. I wish we had found her sooner!

We loved meeting Anja and Josh, they are a great pair and so clearly were our brand of dog people. Our dogs could not have agreed more. We have two enthusiastically loving and excitable dogs, that range in weight from 55 to 75lbs... Anja and Josh took them in patient stride and loved on them immediately. We came home to a clean house, perfectly kept, and two happy and NOT frantic dogs. It was clear they had been so well loved and cared for that they were totally chill. We've literally already booked them for another weekend. Thank you both!

Erika is wonderful with my dog. He has warmed up to her. Neighbors shared how much they walked and how calm he was with her. I recommend her but not on the days I'll need her in the future

Bennett was great with Winston. During our meet and greet, Winston could not get enough of him! When we got home, the house was clean and tidy, and Winston was way more well adjusted than when we would board him. Loved getting updates as well! Will definitely be using Bennett in the future!

I have the cutest little fear aggressive rescue who really only wants to be with us….so it’s hard to find people who will watch her. Sandra had this little fearful girl lying on the couch with her in less than 24 hours. She kept us up to date on how she was doing our entire trip. It was such a relief to find Sandra. We never worried about Mila or anything at home while Sandra was there.

Megan is fantastic. She communicates really well and supported me with some change of plans in the middle of my trip. She is kind, caring and an amazing woman. She put me at ease and Abby just loved her. She was even looking out the window for an hour after Megan left! Definitely recommend.

Vlad was professional, on time, and kept us updated throughout the booking. Its was comforting having Vlad and Madi stay the weekend in our home and care for our 3 dogs. Vlad & Madi gave our dogs plenty of walks and attention. We'd definitely recommend and will use them again.

Alex was great with our dogs. We have a German Shepherd mix who has to warm up to someone. Alex did wonderful with understanding that need and let him warm up and ask for attention & love. Our other dog is very social but doesn’t like fireworks. We really appreciated that he reached out to check on her needs for New Year’s Eve. We will definitely use Alex again for our dogs.

About: Hello! My name is Maria. I have owned dogs all through out my life, all breeds and sizes, and I am the first person my family and friends call to watch their pups! I have always grown up with dogs and had family dogs since I was a kid. I have my own rescue named cooper who is an 6 year old Australian Shepard, pit bull mix. He is full of energy and sass! Experience with many breeds and sizes, elderly dogs with specific needs, separation anxiety, leash aggression etc... I have training experience with leash walking, basic training, tricks and certain behavioral training experience. Your furry friends will get lots of love and care. Weather you need someone to keep an eye on your pup, take them for a run, or provide some play time, I am your gal! I am available Wednesday and Fridays as well as weekends and Tuesday mornings. I am very flexible so just ask for whatever you need! I am looking forward to taking care of your best friends! I am currently working part time so I love to fill my extra time with furry friends and helping out busy pet owners! I am also an online student so I am able to be flexible and make my own schedule outside of work. I will be sure to accommodate any needs or requests you have for your pets particular care while I am looking after them. Just ask!

Sydni has been watching our cats and dog for at least a year now. The animals love her. Each and everyone of our four pets has a special bond with her. She is trustworthy and loves animals. I think she would be a great caregiver for your pet family members also.

About: Since I was young I’ve taken care of many dogs including my own since she was a puppy. I’m comfortable with big and small dogs and love walking them as well as helping with any daily needs! I am a college students so my schedule is often flexible, especially during late afternoons. Some days I am busier than others and some days I am completely available! I always make sure the animal is comfortable with me before I get too close to them. When walking the dogs I am gentle but will follow the instructions given to me by the owner. I care for the pets as if they’re my own, when I am sitting/walking your pet they are my number one priority

James (Jim) is kind and has a great time with my two dogs. He is responsible, trustworthy, and keeps in communication so you know what your pet is up to while you are away. My dogs are happy when "uncle Jim" is taking care of them and it is peace of mind for me.

Ana is an exceptional dog sitter who truly stands out in her care and attention to pets. She has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs. During the time she cared for my Labrador, Max, her expertise in handling his high energy and playfulness was outstanding. Ana provided regular updates with photos, ensuring peace of mind. Her professionalism, punctuality, and obvious love for animals make her an ideal choice for any pet owner. I highly recommend Ana for her trustworthy and loving care, and Max can't wait for his next stay with her!
