“Danya was an amazing sitter for our Rocky. She cared for him as if he was her own kitty. Gave updates on his overall well being and everything related to our Rocky from how much he had to eat in between visits to litter updates. I would definitely use her again. Thank you Danya”
“First time using the app. I couldn’t be happier with the experience with Alexandra! She was very responsive and took great care of my cat! Would definitely recommend her to anyone I know that would use this service!! 10/10!”
“Daniel is a great communicator and really wants to understand your pet’s routine and needs to provide the best care. We had Daniel drop in daily on our senior cat while we were out of town for a week and received comprehensive daily updates to make everyone comfortable. We would gladly recommend him.”
“We had a great experience with Sydney, who looked after our cat for two days. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure our cat felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away.

About: I'm a proud cat parent and a dog lover in your area that can be your extension of care when your pets need it the most! I have volunteered at animal care centres around the world and do so regularly locally as well. I really enjoy being around them and it is my favourite hobby. I can't get enough of being around lovable animals. I find myself easily making friends with them as I see all animals have unique and big personalities! I would love to give lots of care and love to animals as I know they have a lot to give back too! I would love to play indoors, keep them active by taking them for walks, ensure they have their feedings and any other needs.
“As a nervous pet-parent, I couldn’t be more blessed to have found Vanessa to look after my dog when I’m away. Her impressive experience and love of animals showed during our meet and greet and when she looked after our little guy. He adores her! I’ve already rebooked her for our next trip away and I’m reassured having her look after him.”
“We booked Tharmi to watch our cat for daily one-hour visits while we were away for 2 weeks. Tharmi was attentive to our cat, made sure she had fresh water and food, and kept us informed about how things were going by sending us daily updates, pictures, and videos. We would definitely hire him again!”
“Taylor was a great last minute find for our cats. She’s very friendly, and at least one of them warmed up to her pretty quickly. She was punctual and paid attention to the minor details that mattered to make our trip worry free. We will enlist her again for sure.”

About: I am a young adult with a passion to work with dogs. I currently am working towards becoming a dog trainer. I have always grown up with dogs in the house, so I know each dog has their own personality! I love getting to know them one-on-one and start forming bonds. Every dog has different needs that I am capable of meeting. I love being outside and exploring new areas (and possibly finding a treat or two) so keeping up with energetic dogs is no issue for me. Snuggles and pets are another favourite pass time for more timid or mature dogs that I have no problem doing! Choosing me to care for your pet, you won’t have to worry about a thing. I am willing to work with you to make sure your fur baby will be the happiest and healthiest while you’re away!
About: I am a fear-free and patient sitter, also I am an active dog walker. I have experience working in a pet store, where they offer the pet hotel service. For both dogs and cats. Monday to Friday, day time are always available for me. So just let me know your plan, then I could adjust my schedule. Currently I am in a free job. Currently, I could only do sitter at your house, since I have two cats at my home, I could take the dog walk outside, and also do the care for the cats, for example, feeding, changing the water, and cleaning the toilet, and also playing with your loved ones.
“We are so glad we found Michelle! She is so patient with our stubborn pup. She has been reliable, flexible, and great with communication. It's clear from the photo and video updates she sends that Snickers is excited to see her for her visits. We are repeat clients and highly recommend her services!”
About: I have loads of experience working with animals, especially dogs. I volunteered as a dog walker with the humane society, working with different breeds as well as temperaments. I have also volunteered with multiple animal sanctuaries and farms as a farm hand, so I am not afraid to get dirty and active! Furthermore, I have years of experience working in the doggy daycare world. My exposure has made me extremely comfortable working and handling dogs, as my knowledge of dog behaviour is extensive. I am trained to work with a variety of breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have also done a lot of work with reactive dogs either with leash, dog, people, or car reactivity - I have seen it all! Lastly, I have been a pet care owner my entire life and specifically a dog owner for more than 15 years. I understand the need for a loyal, professional, and experienced worker for your dog! I'm currently working part-time and therefore, will have a lot of opportunities to fit into your schedule! I am a reliable worker and will always make an effort to put you and your doggy needs first. I am a very firm believer in positive reinforcement and building trust with your pet. I will always advocate for your dog and make sure their needs are being met either by giving them extra love, play time, or even space!

Shehmeen B.
“Sheh the doggy mama. That's my name for her. Her love for animals is a well known thing in our circle but there is something special about the connection she has with dogs. They seem to become docile around her like one would with their mother. :) Even with street dogs, coming from Pakistan, we have seen atrocities on those poor animals our whole life. I have always been afraid of street dogs because they will bite, but Sheh has met them with nothing but love and kindness and such nurturing energy. I have seen her sit in middle of 4 street dogs getting cuddles from all. These poor babies don't know what love is and Sheh has all the love to give. Been a part of multiple rescues all over the world, I can testify that she will be the best dog walker you can ask for. Your dogs will be well taken care off and then some more 💙🌟”

Hannah A.
“To whom it may concern, I am writing to recommend Hannah to care for pets with Rover.com because she would be a great fit for the position. Hannah is a hardworking, kind, and loyal worker. Hannah has always had a passion for animals and demonstrates a tremendous amount of care towards each animal she interacts with. Hannah has an innate talent for working with all types of pets and has the ability to adjust her approach depending on the pet's personality type. Hannah also has previous experience working at a dog daycare center for over a year. Hannah has cared for my personal pet and I would recommend her to anyone. In addition to her excellent skill set at working with animals, she has strong customer service skills. For example, Hannah is very patient, she has good problem-solving skills, and is very good at time management. Based on Hannah's experience and strong personal skill set, she would be a great fit for Rover.com. Kind Regards, Emilie”
