“Gabriel was great in taking extra steps to care for Coco while I was out of the country. He sent pictures and updates that put me at ease! He has a wonderful home and yard that my dog enjoyed. I definitely would recommend him for your animals stay. I knew Coco was safe.”
“Luna had a great time with Christina. Receiving the photos of Luna with a smile on her face was so reassuring to us while we were away on vacation. Luna had a wonderful time with Christina's children and their dog Rylee. Christina did a wonderful job. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Luna. I can tell she misses your family.”
“Thank you Amber, for taking on the care of Roxi. We appreciate, dog sitters like you, who jump into action at the last minute, this was Roxi first dog sitting experience, and she seems to be well taken care of. Thank you, from my family to yours!!”
“Jennifer and Jeff were very friendly and both met us on arrival! Linda was so comfortable on entry she waddled herself around the first floor and then up the stairs. They sent multiple updates and photos of her inside and out and she looked very happy. I am thrilled to have found an actual home with wonderful folks Linda can stay with instead of boarding her at Pet Palace! We’ll be a return client for sure!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for my whole life. I currently own two Ferret, a rat, two dogs, and two cats. I love training dogs I am actually trying to save money to start taking certifications for dog training. I am a disabled human, so I spend almost all day at home able to care for animals. Dogs will go outside to potty every 4 hours unless special instructions are given. My dog Ruger will not be around any male dogs that I watch. I will only accept to watch a dog if the owner also bring their dog a crate, their own toys, and some of the dogs food. I will not accept dogs that have any aggression.
“Kelsey was great to our two Bishon boys. She kept me at ease by sending updates & multiple pictures, which we truly looked forward to each day. We look forward to many more visits with Kelsey.”
“I would recommend Haylie and her family! They took care of our new addition to our family while we were away a few days. They were very understanding of her anxiety of being away from her family for the first time since we got her. They took good care of her. She was clean and everything I dropped off for her was also well cared for. She sent multiple videos and photos throughout the stay. I would rebook with Haylie in the future.”
“We were exceptionally pleased with the attention Robert gave Max. Max is a very large 12 month old German Shepherd who has a lot of puppy energy left. Robt. took Max on a ride, played with him in his fenced yard, and also played with Robert’s adult dog. We also appreciated that Robt. picked Max up at our house, which was so convenient. We will definitely be using Robt. in the future.”
About: I adore animals, I missed my callling in the vet world. I have always worked with training puppies and taking care of them for two years at a Pet store and worked under a veterinarian there. I have helped with treating various illnesses in dogs from kennel cough to hypoglycemic shock. I would treat anyone's babies as my own. I have had a bad experience with a pet sitter and vow to never let a parent feel anything but ease when they are away from their pet that is family! I work a remote job with flexible hours. I am thankful to be able to help others not worry about their fur babies when gone! My house has a large fenced in yard. I have two friendly dogs! I crate my dogs at night and when I leave but I would follow instructions on how to take care of your pet in my home or yours!
“Robyn was very professional as well as caring for our girl Betty. She sent updates and was easy to reach / respond. Would def book again! Her dogs were also very friendly and great with our dog. Thanks ! 😊”
About: I have mainly taken care of smaller or older dogs but love all sizes and breeds! I would love the chance to meet your furry friend! I am currently a full-time graduate student at Miami University. I am available on weekends at any time and anytime after 2 or 3 on weekdays. I currently live in an apartment. But the space is very spacious for dogs and we have two different dog parks right outside of my door.
“Laurie was absolutely great! She was so good to Odin and welcomed into her home as if he was her own. He adapted well to her family and she kept me updated with messages and pictures throughout his stay. We are so thankful for her!”
“This is the first time I've ever used rover but I 100% will be using Pam for all of my dog sitting needs. Her and her husband were great to my pup. She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the week. He didn't have any issues as far as separation or loneliness. It will be a lot easier to leave him next time knowing that Pam took such good care of him and he LOVED it there. If you are needing a dog sitter, I would highly recommend Pam.”
“Nicole is amazing! She takes Nova on walks and to the dog park. She takes very good care of my baby Nova. She even offers to do pick up and drop off for your pet. I would recommend her to anyone :)”
About: i have lots of experience walking dogs and pet sitting! with my rover experience and dog walking for the animal shelter i can assure you that your pet would be in good hands! i work third shift four days a week so i have a very open schedule for walks and drop ins. my best times are 9am-noon and 4pm-7pm but i am open to requests at any time:) while walking dogs i ALWAYS keep them on leash. i’m comfortable helping with whatever you need whether that’s just hanging out or maybe brushing your pet:) just ask!
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was kid. To me they are like family and should be treated with love. I have 3 of my own that I've had since they were puppies. I'm currently working part time so I'm using my extra time to help others with their fur babies. I'm home most of the time so I can give them extra attention. My back yard is fenced in. I have dog crates available if they need it. Tons of toys and treats too. Clean and bug free home.
