Erica was great and took care of my cat Poppy over Christmas. She provided great checkins and photos and I know Poppy was well taken care of.

Despite extenuating circumstances (that the majority of would cancel for), they still showed up to care for Pebbles and BamBam. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone and feel much more comfortable going on vacations knowing I could book with them again!

Amanda is a considerate and consistent petsitter. She did drop in visits for my two cats while I was away for a week and a half - her updates were thoughtful and thorough, and she even won over my timid cat with her patience and calm approach! She is a wonderful person who will truly care for your pets!

Jasper loves his new friend! From the first time he met Lori he was a happy boy. So grateful that Lori is willing to hang out with our sweet gentle giant. Great communication and loads of pictures. He was still ready for a snooze even after we arrived home.

Makenzie has looked after our golden retriever Sunny many times from when Sunny was a puppy to now as an adult, both for midday walks when our work schedules left Sunny at home for extended periods and for extended/overnight care if we were travelling. I trust Makenzie absolutely with the safety of our dog and to follow any particular rules/training we have been working on. Would highly recommend her for your pet who will certainly have a fun, safe, and disciplined time in Makenzie's care!

I cannot think of a better person than dog loving Trent, to be a member of Rover.com Trent has had dog pets ever since he was born, continuing on into his adult life, a dog has always been his companion. Trent treats all animals with kindness, understanding, and does receive their complete trust, always. I assure pet owners, that Trent can be totally entrusted to care for your dog in a most loving manner. He understands the individual personalities and needs of various breeds of dogs. Trent has a beautiful big, fenced yard for your dog, and lovely walking trails and dog parks nearby his home,for numerous daily walks and playtime with his visiting furry friends. Trent has taken wonderful care of my pets over the years. I know a pet with him will be totally spoiled

About: I’ve had pets all my life including cats and dogs, and I’ve pet sit birds and bunnies too. I love animals and I have experience with small dogs, medium dogs and large breed dogs including reactive dogs. Whether they want to sit on the sofa and chill or go for outdoor adventures, I’m down for whatever I work from home 2x a week, so I’m available to house sit (as long as I have wifi to work), walk dogs during the afternoon/evenings and check in occasionally on your pets. I no longer offer boarding services as I live in a cat only apartment building but I am happy to pet sit in your home; I find dogs feel more happy and comfortable in their home, anyway!

Rhiannon took such great care of our dog and cat while we were away! I will absolutely be asking for her help again. She was very communicative and responsive which gave us peace of mind. I could tell from the pictures and videos we got that the pets really trusted her and enjoyed their time together. She really went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and safe. I would highly recommend Rhiannon to anyone and am so appreciative of her help.

Our older cat Oli quickly became comfy with Taylor. Oli himself requires a lot of attention due to his regimented meds/feeding schedule, and Taylor learned the ropes fast. She was a responsible and communicative (quite detailed Rover cards with pics daily) sitter, who clearly has a strong sense of duty in her work.

About: ***No negotiating prices, please! My rates are firm based on my experience, knowledge, the percentage 20% Rover takes from sitters, cost of living, time, gas, and the physical and mental toll. If you aren’t happy with my fees, kindly move on. If you need an alternative to daycare where your dog can get all the attention and care that they need you have found the right place! Through extensive experience and research, I am very knowledgeable with reading dog behaviour. Not all pets are the same I love learning new ways to adapt to certain breeds. Rest assured that I will make sure your pets gets plenty of care just as I do with my own! Every pet deserves the best care and I can cater to their specific needs. I will always supervise dogs in their homes and will not let them loose unless it is secure and fully fenced. Their safety is my priority.
