“Casey was outstanding! We messaged her a bit late and she organized a meet and greet quickly and got us scheduled to babysit the pets while we were out at family dinner. Casey also took great photos of our dog, puppy, and cat and sent them to update us. 5 stars and will definitely request to work with her in the future. Thanks, Casey!!”
“Heather took care of our pups and our house while we traveled for a week. She took excellent care of both! Heather was great with communication and sending pics of our pups. We would definitely use her again.”
“Maria was communicative throughout her stay with our pets - sending pictures and updates. She tidied up before she left making sure out first thoughts when getting home wouldn't be chores. She was considerate and thoughtful and we would book her again in a heartbeat.”

“Would highly and sincerely recommend. Incredibly caring towards my little mamas, and so respectful of my space. Made sure to gather all the info he needed from me. Regular updates and communication.”

“Alex did a great job with Chip while I was out of town. It was clear he gave Chip lots of attention and gave him plenty of exercise. Alex was also very communicative and provided great updates!”

About: I had over ten dogs growing up, both large and small, and have had three cats. All have lived to an old age and had a wonderful quality of life! I work from 7am-3pm Monday-Friday with occasional work from homes, so I can provide pet care in the early morning and/or afternoon/evening! On weekends, I am flexible! I focus on building trust and affection with pets, ensuring play time and pets are on their terms, giving space as needed! I am big on safety and keeping a watchful eye on them.

“Nastasha is excellent. She house-sat for my two large (70lb each,) high-energy dogs and indoor cat for 6 nights while we were away on vacation. Her communication was fast and clear and we came back to happy and settled pups. She sent photos and videos that gave us a lot of peace of mind. We also live in the country a bit and Natasha did great with all that accompanies that. Highly reccomend!”

“Patrick was amazing! He was so kind and responsive to my cats and my dog! He sent my partner and I lots of updates and communicated with us. I would 100% books again!”

“Merissa is so wonderful, kind, prompt, and genuinely caring!! My boy loved her and she took amazing care of him!! Highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was a child, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving them the care they deserve. During the week I usually get home from work around 4pm, so I'm available for late afternoon or evening visits. I'm generally around on weekends and holidays. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress or aggression. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

“Evelyn went above and beyond taking care of our two dogs. She came to the meet and greet with paper and pen to take notes, which ensured me we had made the right choice in contacting Evelyn. She checked in and sent multiple updates through the time she was with the dogs. We will 100% be working with Evelyn again when we need someone to care for our dogs.”

“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”

“Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.”

“Daniel is always great with Luna and I appreciate all the updates given throughout the day even when he was not feeling very well. Thanks again!!”

Buckingham Lake-Crestwood pet parents share their Rover experiences
Natasha was great with our pets and kept good care of our house while we were away for a few days. Despite her getting ill during the time she watched our pets, she remained communicative and did everything she could to make sure all the pets received proper care.

Maria was communicative throughout her stay with our pets - sending pictures and updates. She tidied up before she left making sure out first thoughts when getting home wouldn't be chores. She was considerate and thoughtful and we would book her again in a heartbeat.

Patrick is such a nice young man who obviously cares about animals. He is great with my puppy Sadie who can be full of the nit. I have already used him 3 times and have been very satisfied with his friendly nature and care for Sadie. I highly recommend Patrick!

We're so glad to find Merissa & Nick to pet & house sit for us! They are responsible, trustworthy and took great care of our furry buddy, who can be a handful & reactive sometimes. They gave him meds, walked and played with him and kept in communication with us so no worrying on my part. Last, the house looks like no one was here. (They even took the trash out.) We will use them as our go-to sitters and walkers and highly recommend them to others.
Alex was an incredible sitter! He stayed with our dogs for a few days while we were out of town. He took great care of them, going above and beyond by bringing additional feeding tools and toys he thought would work well for them (thank you for introducing Oslo to a slow feeder!). He was very attentive to their needs, sent photos often, and provided frequent updates via text. Thank you so much Alex! We can't recommend him highly enough!

Kenda helped us out with a last minute sitting. We came home to a happy pup which is the most important thing. She was communicative and sent picture updates which I greatly appreciate. I would definitely feel comfortable recommending her and using her services again.

Ashley was great with our 1 year old GSD puppy! She stayed overnight at our house with our puppy and two cats. She sent pictures of her overnight stay for our peace of mind as well. She was very responsible and professional. My husband and I will 100% request her services in the future!

Clyanna is the best. She always takes care of our cat, Eugene, so well and I come back to a clean apartment and super happy cat. On a personal note, she is also really easy to communicate with and is just an all around sweet and kind person. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

We couldn't be happier with our decision of booking with Myia. We were gone for 11 days and didn't really want to kennel our super anxious chiweenie Fred for that long, so we decided to try the housesitting option through Rover. Myia did an amazing job keeping an eye on our apartment as well as taking care of the forementioned Fred. I know that really helped him as opposed to being kenneled by himself for almost 2 weeks. We highly recommend Myia, and will be looking to her for assistance again in the (very near) future.
