6. Linda B.
“Linda did an excellent job checking in on my two cats at my home while I was away. She went above and beyond on all aspects of the visit. Will definitely use again if I have a need for sitting.”
7. Karisa E.
“Karisa E. is amazing in every way. I’m so thrilled that I booked her for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation for twelve days in Maui. Although I had been happy with other cat sitters that I’ve worked with on Rover, I decided to give Karisa a chance, because she was more affordable. Boy, am I so glad that I did. Karisa bonded with our kitties, Klondike and Sprite, better than anyone I’ve ever worked with before. Sprite, in particular, is very skittish and will hide from pet sitters, but, miraculously, she was happy to let Karisa and her children hold her during visits. Klondike likewise got tons of attention and affection, as evidenced by the many photos Karisa sent. Karisa also took care of watering my many orchids while we were away. Plus, when I forgot to suspend our shipment of frozen meals from The Farmer’s Dog while we were away, Karisa was a lifesaver! Not only did she keep an eye out for the package, but when it arrived, she brought it in out of the hot sun, unpacked it, and stored everything neatly in the freezer for us. I will most definitely be booking her again in the future.”
8. Neely S.
“Neely has been the best pet sitter! I’ve used her a few times and she is so reliable, detailed, and truly cares about my pets like they are her own!”
9. Jane L.
“I have know Jane for many years and can say with certainty she is a true dog lover. She has owned previous dogs to an old age and have crossed the rainbow bridge. She provided excellent care for all her dogs and loved each one to the fullest extent. She has cared for my dogs several times when I have needed a sitter and did a phenomenal job doing so. I trust her fully with my dogs and that is saying a lot. I highly recommend Jane to anyone needing a dog sitter, your dogs will be in the best of care.”
10. Emily M.
“I will happily be going back to Emily again to watch my dog! I ended up needing someone to watch my German Shepherd puppy for 3 weeks while I made an emergency trip to Indy to help care for my sick mother. I was very worried leaving my new puppy with a stranger but she was highly recommended by a friend. Emily was great on taking care of Bear like he was apart of her family. He was also only 9 weeks old and not potty trained at the time I dropped him off with her but she managed to have him trained within two weeks to ring a bell and let us know when he needed to go out!! I was very impressed, I also loved the daily updates of pictures and even allowing me to video chat with Bear. I felt very happy with my decision to leave him in her care and could not thank her enough!”
11. Melinda G.
“Melinda took care of our dog and rabbit during a vacation. She spent time giving them attention, and was able to administer medicine to our rabbit. She kept us updated with any concerns. I would recommend Melinda as a pet/house sitter.”
12. Bree B.
“Very happy with the service Bree provided for my puppy. Bree has great communication skills and sent updates and photos throughout her visit with Sadie. I will be using her again and highly recommend!”
13. Garrett R.
About: Dogs have been in my family home since before myself. My first steps were helped along by my mom's German Shepard, and through the years we've had countless breeds, from a tiny Pomeranian to a Great Dane, from puppy to elder. Since 2016 I've been walking, caring for, and feeding dogs, cats, birds, and countless other pets. I currently work part-time during the week, and can happily commute from another home to work, my shifts are usually 6 hours, in the afternoon. At home I have my own Border Collie, who enjoys our yard, going on walks, and napping in the living room. As my own experience ranges from rural living on acres of land, to close apartments with my own first fur baby, I'm happy to meet your pups at whatever level you have available to them.
14. Ryan W.
“Ryan is an excellent pet sitter because she loves animals! She made sure my pet was cared for exactly how I asked. She is also compassionate and careful with old, sick or injured pets that need a gentle touch. She made sure my pet’s sutures were properly taken care of and that my dog did not lick them. I would definitely recommend her.”
15. Bailee C.
About: On top of taking care of my own 4 doggos and 1 cat, I've pet sat for several friends, family, and neighbors for many years. I've taken care of many different breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs over the years and I love taking care of animals. Let's get into contact and get you the best pet care! I'm a part time worker and a student this upcoming fall semester, so my schedule fluctuates and can accommodate even the weirder times you need your pet cared for. Since most of my services typically take me to your home, I can ensure I'll take all the precautions you desire. I've handled the dogs that like to try running away and those that need crates.
16. Amanda P.
“Hello, To whom it may concern I feel Amanda would be a great fit for something of this nature, she has been around animals her entire life, she was brought up with several dogs and cats in her household at any given time and was also raised helping to care for 2 family horses. She currently has a dog of her own that her family is looking after while she is in college. She has always been an animal lover and regularly cares for friends pets when they are away on vacation.”
17. Ellie W.
“Ellie is such an animal lover, our dogs and cat get soooo excited when she comes over! I always know they are in good hands when Ellie is caring for them, whether it’s a drop in visit, dog-sitting while we are away, or taking them on a walk. She is dependable and responds quickly to my messages. I will definitely continue to use her for our pet-sitting needs!”
18. Emery S.
“Highly recommend…she went above and beyond for my little fur baby! So thankful I chose her for my cat-sitter needs ☺️”
19. Brooklyn P.
About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.
20. LAUREN S.
“We have just started working with Lauren but couldn't be more pleased! She has cared for our three-year-old Corgi and our three cats. She is extremely accommodating and flexible with her availability. She is responsible, caring and communicative. She lets us know how the dog walking visits went and adapts as needed (Corgi's get hot fast and sometimes just want some playtime instead). She even sent pics to show us our happy little walker. We plan to use Lauren on a weekly basis and as needed from now on!”
