“What we most loved about Hailey was how quickly our animals took to her — our dogs were leaning against her within minutes, and even the cats who hide came out and let her pet them the very first night! It was comforting to leave our pets in the care of someone who clearly loves and understands animals. And though we ended up rushed and didn't have as much time as I wanted to orient her, she perfectly remembered and followed all instructions. We've already booked her again.”
“We just returned home from a week long trip and used a house sitter for our dogs for the first time. We found Will on Rover.com and he was great! He was upfront about it being his first house sitting job and he came and met with me and the dogs twice before us leaving to let the dogs get used to him a bit. He checked in with us almost everyday to give an update, sent photos and videos of the boys playing, and reached out with any questions he had and to see if I had a preferences before he did something. I was really nervous about leaving my dogs and house with someone I didn’t know but Will attentiveness put me completely at ease. We will 100% use him again in the future.”
“Chad makes each stay with Gracie an enriching and fun experience for her while incorporating positive reinforcement training into every interaction. I've had multiple canine companions for many years but I always learn something new just by watching Chad interact with her. It's a pleasure and relief to leave home knowing everything is in Chad's capable hands. Chad is punctual, attentive, knowledgeable, and responsible, and he speaks dog (even husky). He provides informative and entertaining updates and we come home to a relaxed and content dog who is happy to see us but disappointed when Chad leaves.”
“Can't say enough good things about Bev. She babysat my fur baby while I was away for 2 weeks and not only fed and cleaned the litter box but also kept him company (he is a little spoiled). Bev texted me photos while I was away and kept in touch which was a big relief and put my mind at ease. The area around the litter box was kept clean and offered to water my plants. I highly recommend Bev and will definitely use her for all future trips, etc., when help is needed for my baby.”
“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”
“I am so grateful for the care provided for our cats! It felt clear that she understood how to meet and make each cat comfortable! I believe our cats felt supported and safe because August did everything to keep the cats routines. We feel so grateful and will book again!”
“Hans did a fantastic job taking care of my elderly Shih tzu, needing two different eye drops twice a day. He also tried to make tempting meals for her when her appetite was low. He sent me great pictures almost every day which set my mind at ease. I could not recommend anyone more highly than Hans.”
About: Everyone around me knows how much I love pets. I have helped dog sitting my boss’s dog, and as a first timer, I know I did great! I’m working a full time job, I’m ready for anything after working hours and weekends. For occasional home visits, I can make some exceptions depending on my schedule. I myself have a cat, and I haven’t been able to assess how she would react with other pets so I’m holding off on bringing other pets at my place for now. Otherwise, for the clients, I make sure I observe all safety measures and that I’m giving them all the love.
About: I’ve had dogs that both lived over 15 healthy years plus sitting .I’m dependable, cautious about their safety and respond quickly. I’m respectful and flexible. I work part time as a caregiver and have a flexible schedule. I’m reliable, mature and will be attentive. As well as reachable when needed. I’m careful about your pets safety as well as a feeding schedule. I’m cautious regarding heat and ice and keep their environment clean and tidy.
“Abigail was a awesome house/pet sitter looking after my two older rescue pets. I would highly recommend her for entrusting her with your house and pets and will definitely be using her services in the future. Regards- Jarett Tighe”
“Anna was terrific. She spent quality time with our pets, cared for our house, sent pics and updates and was very flexible to meet our needs. I'd recommend her and will use her again.”
“Vi was wonderful to accommodate our last minute booking request. They came on time and were thoughtful and accommodating to our pets idiosyncrasies and needs. They were appropriately communicative. I would definitely book with Vi again.”
“Zander was amazing with our two pugs. He was kind, positive, and flexible with our schedule. Daily pictures were reassuring that everything was going well. The pugs loved their daily walks and snuggles. I could tell they were very happy with Zander.”
“Clara saved me in an extremely stressful situation. She provided pictures and updates periodically, cleaned up after my pup, and made sure to take care of maples medicines, feedings, and health conditions. Clara was perfect and has helped ease my mind about being away from my puppy.”
About: I am a professional dog groomer and have been working with dogs of all ages and temperaments. I have senior care experience and experience with training puppies the basics. Being a pet groomer I’ve made pet care my career. Every morning before work I take my own pet for a small walk and to potty before breakfast. Most days your pet will come with me to work to hangout with me and other pets unless requested otherwise. Potty breaks will be given as needed. Dinner will be given around l 530pm at 630 we will go for a walk typically half a mile then come home for free play and to settle in for the night. I have a dog of my own named Goose that would love to keep your pet company if they are interested. We will go on a walk in the afternoon and have enrichment time. I can easily crate your dog if needed or go over any training you might be working on.

David N.
“David adores animals, particularly dogs. I am lucky enough to work in an office where we can bring our pets in at different times. My work sometimes requires me to meet sometimes at length with clients, sometimes who are afraid of dogs so I cannot have my dog in the office with me. David joyously offers to take my dog and without being prompted he will make sure he goes out for pee breaks, has water and is kept comfortably contained. He is amazingly kind, professional and trustworthy. I have known him over 2 years and I trust him implicitly.”
