“Alejandra was great with our dog and very professional. She took her out on plenty of daily walks and trips to the dog park. Loved that our dog had Alejandra’s two other sweet dogs to play with. Got so many updates and she even bathed her before we picked her up. We will definitely use her again! Highly recommend!”

“Christine is always such a pleasure to leave our Ally with. She has sat for us in the past and recently as well and Ally takes right to her each time. She is good about sending pictures and text messages on how she is doing. She has even been available on last minute stays which I always appreciate due to my unpredictable schedule. I look forward to using her again in the future. ”

“Kim is amazing!!! My pup had such a good time that I am afraid she wanted to stay!! Kim was responsible and did a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone would get along. She sent videos and pictures daily and she is very responsive when messaging. Kim’s love and concern for all animals shines through!! It was so relieving to know that I could trust Kim with my girl. I never had any concerns! I will rebook for sure!!”

14. Keearah G.
“I'm so grateful for Keearah and her amazing dog-sitting services! She took care of my pup Max just like family. From our first meeting, I could tell that she genuinely loved animals and knew how to keep them happy and safe. Keearah was always prompt in communication and provided regular updates, with adorable pictures of Max having a great time. Knowing my furry friend was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind. Max was content and well-cared for when I returned home, and it's clear they had a wonderful time. I can't recommend Keearah enough if you're looking for someone reliable and loving to care for your pets. Thank you, Keearah, for being such a fantastic pet sitter! I'll definitely be booking with you again!”

She is knowledgeable and provides caring companionship for all pets and ensured my dogs were well cared for on occasions when I went out of town. As a fellow Rover pet sitter, I encourage you to allow Mara to assist you with any of your pet care needs. She is a gem!”

19. Tanner E.
About: I have a dog named Cooper that loves to run, play and snuggle. I have a basic knowledge of taking care of dogs. I am extremely good at following instructions for pet care. I work full time as a Firefighter/ Paramedic. I work 24 hours on and 48 off. I am typically available most of my off days and have time I can set aside for pet care. Currently i take my dog to a nearby baseball field that he lives to run and play catch at. I also put my dog in dog daycare on the days that I work. My wife picks him up after she is done at work. I have abiut a half an acre at home (not fenced, but I do have cables so my dog can roam as he pleases). I am most definitely trust worthy and respectful in anyone's home that I enter.
20. Melissa C.
“Melissa is amazing! I had a last minute trip, and she watched all 3 of my precious pups. I felt so comfortable leaving my dogs with her, you can tell how much she cares about animals just by talking to her. She took great care of my dogs and sent such fun pictures! I’d recommend her to anyone. Thanks Melissa!”
