“Kristin was great, this was our first time having her watch our dogs. She spent time meeting them first a couple of weeks before. She was very communicative while she was house/dog sitting! I highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and with Laura the experience was great. She was very informative and a great caregiver. She stayed in constant contact with us throughout the process and kept us informed. She willingly worked with our requirements. During our vacation she looked over our dog and our house. We are so thankful for her, and have already booked another session for our future travel plans. Would highly recommend to anyone.”
“If I could sum Talon up in one word it would be AMAZING! She was right on time and our dogs loved her immediately - it usually takes time for them to warm up to new people, but they sensed her “dog whisperer” side. You will not go wrong by booking with Talon. Looking forward to our next trip knowing our dogs will be taking very well care of.”
“Christina was great! It was kind of a late notice, but she was available and spent alot of time with my girl. Even tho my Shiloh is very shy and timid with strangers, just the thought of knowing someone was there with her gave me peace. We don't travel much, but will definitely have her take care of my babies again when I have a need.”
“Rhonda was so kind and accommodating to our ever changing plans. We stayed at the Renaissance Inn (Watiki) located a quick 10 min down the road. from her. This made it super easy to drop off our pup on our way out to explore beautiful south dakota and easy to pick him up on our way back to the hotel. My pup came home happy and tired from a full day of fun…a far better option than having him sit in a hot car as we explored and visited some places (eg Mt Rushmore) that didn’t allow dogs. We had a great time in south dakota and so did our dog—-winning!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Eliana! She was fantastic with our three rambunctious dogs. She took the time to come for a meet-and-greet beforehand, which really helped us feel confident leaving them in her care. Throughout the weekend, she was prompt, respectful, and had great communication — she kept us updated and sent us the sweetest photos, which were definitely a highlight while we were away. Our dogs were clearly very well cared for, and to top it off, our house was even cleaner when we got back than when we left! We would absolutely recommend Eliana and look forward to having her watch our dogs again in the future.”
“I booked with Bailee to housesit my two large dogs. I was a little nervous since I hadn't had anyone from Rover housesit for me before, but after my initial meet and greet with Bailee I was totally put at ease. She's very personable and professional. She sent us updates and pictures while we were gone. She followed our instructions for care perfectly and left the house spotless. When we got home our pups were happy and relaxed as always. I recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thanks Bailee!”
About: Animals have been a large part of my life since I was a young child. I had to let my dog go due to cancer some years back and cannot afford one of my own any longer. It would be an honor to spend time with your family member. I've been disabled for 17 years and I'd relish the opportunity to give your family member the attention they need when you're busy schedule requires time away. I will go above and beyond to keep your family member happy and comfortable and of course entertained. As a former pet owner I understand your concern with leaving them in others hands. Your four-legged family will be treated as my own.
“Jack is simply amazing! He had great ideas to bond with our dog while we were away. Our dog was definitely very comfortable and happy with him. Also, he also took our dog on a hike ... which was awesome. We would love to contact Jack in the future.”
“Delaney saved our last minute trip by agreeing to stay with our cat. Her love of animals was immediately obvious. She is very prompt about responding to messages but did not initiate any herself. This is the only reason I am giving her 4 instead of 5 stars. I did request updates and although she did a good job of staying with our cat, as previously noted she only responded to my request on how things were going. This may have been due to a communication error since both she and I are new to the Rover program. I will try and be more clear in my future requests. Bottom line go with Delaney with confidence.”
About: I have kept pets my whole life, but didn't discover my passion for them until my early 20s when I worked at the local Humane Society. Since then I have frequently fostered and have a menagerie of my own! I have experience in cats, dogs, reptiles and small mammals including a variety of medical care. I also have experience with reactive dogs and feral cats. I work night shift, so on nights I am not working I am happy to complete in-house pet sitting. Otherwise I am always happy to do drop ins in the morning and evening! I do request detailed explanations of the pets schedule and needs, as well as an emergency contact and preferred veternarian should the need arrise. I also highly encourage a meet and greet before hand.
“Allison was an absolute lifesaver! She agreed to house sit our dogs with only a day’s notice and even made time to come meet them beforehand—bringing her adorable and easygoing dog, Gin. From the start, she was incredibly communicative, letting us know her schedule, when she arrived and left, and how walks and feedings went. She sent us updates and photos, which gave us such peace of mind. (: Allison is friendly, fun, and personable, and she truly went above and beyond. When she found out we were new to the area, she shared tons of great local recommendations. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups, and we couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you so much, Allison! Have so much fun on your thru-hike of the Superior Hiking Trail—we know you’re going to have an amazing adventure! :D”
About: Not sure where to start! I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes! I have a cat named Lexi. I have owned/cared for large breeds, all breed, cats, horses, goats, the works. I am extremely loving and passionate for taking care of humans and animals. I'm not a certified trainer but I have trained my previous dogs in clicker training, behavioral training, and harness training. I'm not afraid of any animals what so ever. Sunday, Monday, Wednesday I take care of beautiful humans. I thoroughly love my job but also have a deep love for animals also. When I'm not at work, I generally have my 2 year old but my husband helps! I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes (with the exception of spiders and snakes). I am one of the most loving people you will ever meet. I will 100% ensure they are fed, pottied, and loved for before I "leave them". They might get left with extra lovings or maybe a surprise over night if needed. I love hiking. My apartment is equipped with dog care essentials. Even if it's too hot, I'm always okay with playing in the water and having a "weighted blanket" for extra cuddles.
“Ella watched my two pups at my house for a long weekend. Everything went well and the dogs were happy and calm when I returned and the house was in perfect order. Thank you, Ella!!”
