1. Tommy V.

“Our dog seems happy and well cared for and the house is clean and very well looked after. Tommy even cleaned the things he used and left the house looking very clean! We would love to use him again!”


2. August S.

“August is our favorite dog sitter. Roxy loves him. We added a friend’s dog to this visit and he did great with Maggie the lab too. He was kind when she had an accident in the house and clearly interacts with my dog and her dog friends the way I do when I’m home. August is communicative and does a great job. Highly recommend.”


3. Timothy W.

“We were so happy with Timothy’s communication while watching our pup and he was extremely flexible when our plans changed last minute and we had to stay another night. We look forward to having Timothy back in the future!”


4. Amanda C.

“The second time booking with Amanda, and another stellar experience. Thank you for showing love to all my fur babies. I love all the pictures and potty updates she provides.”


5. Rachael S.

“Hank was very comfortable with Rachael. We can’t wait to have her back!”


6. Alexandria D.

“I felt very comfortable leaving Kona with Alex. He was well cared for and Alex took the time to communicate with me which means a lot! Kona was very calm and happy when we returned.”


7. John M.
“John has an exceptional dedication and genuine affection for animals. I've seen this firsthand in his care for my Australian Shepard, Sidney. While Sidney can sometimes be a handful, John has taken time to work with her and teach her new commands as well as reinforce ones we have been working on. Sidney is always very happy to see John, which always puts my mind at ease and makes me feel confident in his care. John's commitment to animals has always extended beyond his own pets or the pets of his loved ones. He volunteers regularly at a local pet shelter, Helping Hounds, where he helps care for and socialize animals in need. His reliable presence at the shelter over the past few years and his willingness to devote his own time to help animals find their forever homes speaks volumes about his deep compassion for animals. John's dedication to both Sidney and the shelter animals is a true testament to his loving and responsible nature as a pet caregiver.”


8. Brandon T.

“Would 100% use Brandon again. He was very communicative, sent lots of pictures and kept us updated throughout the entire weekend. I truly felt like I could relax knowing my dogs were well taken care of. Thank you again!”


9. Aliyah L.

“We always love having Aliyah watch Ruby! She does a great job of caring for her, sharing pictures and videos with us, and caring for our home. ♥️”


10. Anastasia B.

“Anastasia was so flexible. We needed to leave much earlier than expected and she showed up early at a moment’s notice. As always, our dogs love her. Thanks.”


11. Rachel L.

“Rachel was wonderful with our Maggie! She was very responsive to our text messages and also so flexible with our schedules and everything involving our dog. She stayed in our home with Maggie, and we returned to our house the way we left it. We highly recommend Rachel for your next pet sitter!”


12. Rachel T.
“My girl absolutely adores Rachel! Rachel treats her so well and has become my dogs favorite person! I've basically been kicked to the curb!! 😂❤️”


13. Emma S.

“Emma was amazing with our 4 kitties. She sent daily updates and pictures. She is very caring and professional. She is for sure an animal lover! I do not trust many people with our fur babies, but I trust Emma 100%. The moment we met her we knew that our Kitties would be in the best hands! We will for sure be booking with her in the future. I whole heartedly recommend Emma!”


14. Nina J.

“Nina watched our two dogs after we had a last minute trip. She was very accommodating and understanding the entire time as our plans kept changing. The dogs seemed to like her, and she wasn't shy about giving them commands (like not letting one of our dogs jump on her) which we appreciate. Additionally, she left the house clean and tidy! I definitely recommend Nina.”


15. Amber S.

“Amber was fantastic. She was on point with caring for our dogs everyday and kept us updated multiple times a day. Would highly recommend and plan on booking with her again”


16. Emily B.

“Emily was great with our pup! We appreciated her helping out during the day when we couldn’t be home with him since he’s still so young. We look forward to having her back!”


17. Morgan K.
“Morgan is an amazing pet caregiver. She loves all animals and takes great care of them. She is always on time and gives full attention to animals in her care.”


18. Amber D.

“Amber was an amazing house and pet sitter! She is extremely conscientious and treats your home and pets as if they are hers. We have never returned from a trip with the house so clean and tidy, and with our pets so calm. We have two needy cats and an anxious dog who takes time getting to know new people, and within less than 24 hours, all three pets were so comfortable with Amber. She sent us photos and updates, and was easy to communicate with. Honestly the best Rover experience we have ever had!”


19. Emma S.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a kid, that’s like a lifetime experience! While I mainly focused on horses I have also had experience with many dogs and cats. I have watched, taken care of, walked and even trained dogs and some cats too. I love animals as if they were my own and love to spend time with any kind especially furry ones! I guarantee that your pet will have a great time with me wether it be walking, playing or just hanging out. I am very flexible to any of your pets needs and promise to treat them with care. I am currently working full time but am planning to start doing so from home soon! I have plenty of time for feeding, taking care of and playing or petting after work, or before and during my long lunch break. I have a large fenced in backyard and I am big into hiking and going for walks. I have trails near my home that I would love to take any dogs or even leash trained cats with me. My home is spacious with plenty of room to roam around and cozy spots to snuggle up to. My cats always have access to food 24/7 but I can adapt to multiple feeding times or diets if needed for any other pet as well.
