“Kourtney did such a great job with our pups. Her communication was excellent and she sent multiple pictures and videos throughout the day, which made it easier to be away.”
“Always so amazing with the animals. Lots of updates. Lost of pictures. She always makes sure to walk out dogs whenever she can. Very respectfully of our space and animals.”
“So thankful for Felicia! She truly is top notch and takes such good care of our sassy pup!! Our doggie is very selective to whom she likes and she loves Felicia ! That speaks for itself!!! 10000% recommend!”
“Dear Craig, Can’t that you enough for making time in your schedule to take care of Angus during my medical stay! It was such a relief that he was in your care again! Best, Leslie”
“We immediately felt comfortable with Alexa being in our home and were confident she would take great care of the pets, which she did! Sammy loved her the second she walked through the door. This was the first time in the 7 years of owning pets together have we had anyone but family take care of them, and are so thrilled that we finally found Rover, and Alexa. We now can plan more summer trips knowing the fur babies and the house will be in great hands! 100% recommend!”
“Lynn took great care to give our pup lots of love during a long housesitting stay and gave regular updates on how she was doing. I also really appreciated that she left the house in great shape!”
“Kristina was wonderful! She took great care of Bowie, and he was happy and relaxed when we came home. Kristina was communicative and responsible, and left the house clean and tidy. We'd definitely book with her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was young, but just started pet sitting a couple years ago and have worked in the veterinarian field for 5 yrs now. You can also find me helping out in the kennel some days. I currently work full time at a veterinary clinic, usually 4 days a wk. I do work 10 hour days, but always make it a point to go back for a potty break at lunch when housesitting. I have a large, unfenced yard. I do have a tie out or can walk on leash. There are 2 cats in house, that are used to dogs being around. There is also a rabbit, but he is caged.
“Amanda was incredible - I have a quirky crew of pups and she took the time and effort to get to know them and understand their needs. I felt completely at ease leaving got my trip knowing they were in good hands. Will definitely be hiring her again! And loved all the sweet updates she sent. Thank you Amanda!”
“Makalah is our first pet sitter from Rover. We hired her for house sitting so that she could care for our dog and cat in the comfort of their own home. We have had friends and family take care of the pets, but we’ve never had someone come spend the night. Makalah did an amazing job with both our pets. She bonded instantly with our cat and as she said, He’s my bestie! Our dog is 13 years old and requires more care, as he takes seizure medication three times a day. Makalah took on this responsibility and she made sure she let me know when she gave him his meds. Makalah’s communication with me throughout the day and night was great. She also sent pictures of both pets along with an update on how things were going. I am so glad I decided to take a chance with Rover and with Makalah. We will definitely be calling in her to care for our pets again.”
“We were so lucky to have Olivia watch our girl — she was incredibly responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely sweet. She went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and took such great care of our pup. I felt completely at ease the whole time — like I could truly trust her with anything. I honestly can’t wait to have her back again… just hoping she doesn’t get too popular, because we definitely want her back!!”
“Annie was fantastic with our dogs and they were well cared for. Our old lady who is very antisocial was out of her room and hanging out with Annie and the other dogs 🥰 We will be using Annie again in the future!”
“Sarah was great! Sent pictures and was timely on her check ins with our two pups! Very patient and understanding with dogs who struggle with meeting new people. We will have her help again!”
About: I am available and have a very flexible schedule. I have raised my own dog for many years and love to tend to others as well. Responsibility, reliability and trustworthiness are guaranteed along with ensured fun and care. I care for my own dog with daily walks, and basic care such as feeding and playful fun. I have been doing this for most of my life because of my pets and would love to do it for others. For my pet, I put him in a harness and on a leash when going on walks and going potty. In a different house that’s more secluded with more landscape, I allow him to roam freely with cautious eyes. For my clients, it depends on what they prefer whether it’s keeping them on a harness or allowing them to roam freely as well.
“Charlotte did an amazing job with our pup Gryff! She was caring, sent constant updates and was able to deal with Gryff’s anxiety. We were able to have a wonderful trip because we knew he was in great hands. We came home to a spotless apartment and thoughtful note from Charlotte. We would definitely use Charlotte again and would recommend her for anyone leaving their furry friend at home.”
About: I have grown up with animals in my entire family, always having to take care of them and take them on road trips with me so I have plenty of good experience! I’m currently a college student playing basketball in southern maine but don’t worry I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets!! I will respect all of your rules and take care of your fur babies perfectly and safely in your home and treat them as I would with my own!!
“Taryn was fantastic! We were so nervous to leave our dog with a stranger but she was even better than we could have hoped for. She gave updates, sent pictures, and gave our dog all the snuggles she needed. Thanks, Taryn!”
