Jenevieve totally saved our vacation! I had originally hired another Rover sitter to drop in on our dog while we were on vacation. The other sitter didn't show up for 2 visits. Luckily I was able to book super last minute with Jenevieve and she is awesome! She was always there on time to take care of my dog. He is 15 and takes heart meds, so it's important that he gets them twice a day. She seemed to really care for my dog and sent pictures every visit. I was totally impressed with her attention to his care. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!

Caitlyn is AMAZING. She truly loves and cares for your dog, whether it’s her first visit or her hundredth. She provides the upmost care, and never rushes. She shares time with your dog because she wants to, not because she has to. She has fantastic communication and truly goes above and beyond every time. I will continue to book with Caitlyn for as long as she lets me!!

Angie is the best! She has done drop in visits for my two cats numerous times - most recently for 14 days while I was gone in a trip. When I got home my cats were calm and relaxed as if I hadn't been gone at all. Angie is very kind and well qualified to watch pets, she also brings in my mail and feeds the birds for me... I highly recommend her!!

It was so nice to be able to take a day trip and come home in the evening to a calm, happy dog. Normally she’s anxious without me but Kelli took her on a nice walk and then sat on the deck with her which is my senior dog’s favorite activity. Uli was so relaxed when I got home that I know she had been well cared for. Thank you Kelli!

About: I have my own dogs and they love to play! We frequently visit the dog park! He can get along with any size dog. I will always make sure the animals get along and if not my dog will be separated from the client dog. I have not ever had any issues. When I am not around, in class or at work, I have my significant other who is still able to give potty break and walk with the boarded animals. I am able to board any animals except a snake or a cat. Must have their vaccination! Must have been treated on a regular basis for fleas and ticks! I am able to get the animal to the vet immediately if needed. I also have a vehicle that can accommodate the dog separately or together. My spouse works 4 minutes from our house and he can go home at any time. We also have a security system so we can check on the dogs at any time, as well as having a doggie door that way they can come and go as they please. I have a fenced in gated yard, with plenty of running room. We allow the dogs to go in and out of the house as needed. Water for the dogs 24/7, and we keep the dogs down stairs only. Separate areas for feed times.

About: I hold a degree in Animal Science and have several years of experience working as a Veterinary Technician. Additionally, I have personally rescued and cared for pets, which has given me a deep understanding of the importance of providing compassionate and dedicated care to animals, as if they were my own. I currently have an open schedule with summer break. My best availability is during the day and am willing to discuss after hours care should the need arise. I am committed to providing attentive care for family pets in accordance with the owners' instructions. I prioritize consistency and fostering a positive relationship to ensure the well-being of the animals and peace of mind for the families.

About: Growing up with Great Danes taught me many important lessons. I have taken care of dogs with disabilities and medications, along with young puppies. Loving animals means treating them like they are your own. Currently, I am full time at my position for a remote company which allows a generally open schedule. I do have some travel days but they are limited. I prefer for pets to stay in their home, making them feel comfortable and safe. Along with the pets, I want you to have someone reliable and responsible helping out.

Priscilla loves dogs and happy helped us raise our litter of Great Pyrenees/Red Bone Coon Hound puppies. She was helpful in setting up our puppy area and keeping it clean. She came and helped me keep the puppies and Mom on their feeding schedule and did all our other chores as well. She lives her own animals and is very positive person.

Toni has cared for my 3 dogs over the last 15 years. Despite their occasional mischievous antics and health considerations, she has consistently provided attentive and reliable care. They love Toni! Her education and experience in veterinary care enable her to effectively manage their health, behavioral, and emotional needs. I have always felt confident and at ease leaving my dogs in her care.

Chloe has sat for us several times, from a few hours to week long stays. She absolutely loves animals and they all love her. Her experiences with animals include growing up with several dogs in the house and pet sitting multiple times for different families. She has cared for older animals with health conditions as well as young energetic puppies. She is responsible and trustworthy and will care for any pet as if her own.
