Ken took such good care of our boy Hamlet. He’s just such a natural around dogs and is funny to boot. Very jovial and attentive with a great sense of humor. He gave us updates for each time he checked in Hamlet on each day with a report on meal time, potty breaks, and play time. Also sent cute pictures! Ken clearly loves dogs and shows that in his care for them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.

About: Hi! I am a part time student, looking to make some extra cash and absolutely love animals! I will take the utmost care with your pup, no matter how long or how many times I see them. I can handle all energy levels and will make sure your pup has so much fun with me, while also making sure they're attended to and cared for according to your routine and standards. I have a 25 lb mystery mix of my own named April who is very friendly with other dogs, should that be of interest. I look forward to hearing from you and am excited to meet the rest of your family! I am currently a part time student, so my time is quite flexible for working out a care schedule that fits your and your pup's individual needs. I have my own dog, April, who gets along very well with other dogs. As I have been caring for her since she was a puppy, I am quite accustomed to cleaning up any messes that may happen promptly, and staying attuned to a pet's wants.

Don did a great job House-sitting with our cat and dog! Our pets loved Don and were happy and healthy when we returned. The house was in great shape and Don also did a great job looking after our plants. If you want peace of mind for your pets and home while you’re away, I highly recommend hiring Don!

Felicia was fantastic at wrangling my beloved, but extremely difficult, elderly cat with chronic kidney disease! She was able to give my cat transdermal meds and daily subcutaneous fluids, despite my cat hating everyone but me and making an absolute scene about it every time. Felicia's care for my cat and my home made it so I could actually enjoy vacation without checking the pet cam every five minutes. I'm so grateful for her help!

I have to thank Collin for his patience and willingness to watch my furry duo. He managed to somehow feed my poor dogs using sorcery and sheer willpower to scrounge whatever I had left after my dog’s food was stolen from my doorstep. My dogs also adore and trust him so he gets 100/10. Thank you so much, Collin!

Jessica was a terrific pet and house sitter!! She was very attentive to our dogs' needs and went the extra mile to accommodate our schedule. She came early, stayed late and left the house in perfect condition. The fact that her day job involves working remotely was an added bonus. Our pups were well cared for, happy and healthy. We will definitely be using Jessica again.

This was my first time using Rover and leaving Apache with someone new, and it honestly couldn’t have gone better. Nicole was incredibly friendly and attentive, gave great updates on his meals, meds, and how his day was going, and shared little highlights that made me smile. She asked thoughtful questions, spent plenty of time with him, and took wonderful care of both Apache and my home. I felt so comfortable the entire time and would absolutely trust her with Apache again! 🐶💛

About: I've done pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors for most of my life. This includes care of dogs to include feeding, play, walking, and administering meds if applicable. I currently have a six year old English Bulldog who is a stubborn sweetheart and I regularly pet sit for a family member's pitbull mix. I will be available on marked days, most regularly weekends as well as selected weekday options as I have a flexible/remote work set-up. I take care of pets of my own (as well as children) so I can confidently fill in to care for your pet. I have reliable transportation and defined radius on my profile so I can arrange for several walks and in home check-ins and care throughout the day and evening. When/if I do board or care for a client's pet in my home, there is a fenced in backyard and one other dog in the home.

Heli was AMAZING when she stayed in our home to watch our severely speration anxiety ridden cockapoo, Ruby. I felt relieved and relaxed knowing Heli was watching Ruby while my family and I were away for a week. Although we had not previously met, I was immediately put at ease with the way she interacted with both Ruby and me. Heli also sent me a ton of pictures while we were away showing all the fun activities they were doing. She also kept to Ruby's schedule. As a very picky mama, I would 100% use and reccomend Heli in the future.

About: I had a dog, her name was Kenya from 8-15 and she unfortunately passed from health conditions. She was a family dog I’ve known and looked after since I can remembered, my cousin gave her to me and my mother when they moved. As she got older, me and my mother had to give her medication for a couple months before, paying close attention to her habits during her later months :/ . I currently have a small, short-haired grey Cat named Sonny. I visit my cousin frequently throughout the month and I always offer to walk her dog because I enjoy walks! I’m currently working as a full time ortho assistant Mon-Thursday, Usually leaving the office around 4:30 pm. Fri-Sun I’m completely free. For overnight stays during my work days, I am willing to travel from your home to my job, leaving in the early mornings After consulting with future clients, I’ll keep track of any dietary needs, special care instructions and any indicator habits I should know about prior to servicing your fur baby!❤️

We had an amazing experience with Adrienne! She stayed with Mickey and kept us updated with frequent messages and adorable pictures, which gave us a peace of mind while we were away. It was clear Mickey was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. We truly appreciated the communication and attention to detail. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Adrienne to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Jeanette is always so great with my Eli! Even though he misses me when I'm away, he feels safe and secure with her. Her warmth and nurturing personality shine right through! Jeanette's an awesome pet sitter and I always feel comfortable leaving her in my home so that Eli can stay home and in his daily routine. It makes going away on vacation less guilt inducing. Of course as pet parents we will ALWAYS feel guilty for leaving our fur babies behind, but when you have a competent sitter like Jeanette, it makes things a little easier! 🥰

Nathale was absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was super professional and took the time to ask questions about our dog, Baki to ensure she could take care of him to the best of her ability. She went above and beyond- offering to take Baki on a hike, sending pictures & videos, and offering to stay longer than her scheduled end time. We are so grateful for her and the time, love and care she was able to give to our dog. We hope we have the opportunity to hire her again in the future!

She even helped Finn through a bit of a scary medical episode and stayed calm the whole time. She helped unload groceries from our grocery delivery and cleaned the house.... She really went above and beyond. We couldn't ask for a better house sitter <3
