Colleen did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs, Daisy and Duke. She was able to walk them several times a day since we do not have a yard to let them out in. And she stayed the night with them which helped Daisy who is our anxious and sensitive dogs. They were both seemed to love her and apparently she got some good snuggles! We will book with her again.

Julian did an excellent job taking care of my cat Simon. He followed all my instructions exactly like I wanted. He fed Simon at the appropriate schedule, cleaned his litter box, and made sure his water bowl was clean and filled. He also took the time to play with him and pet him so he wouldn’t feel lonely. I would hire Julian to take care of my cat again in a heartbeat.

Wow- Wendy is so kind and thorough that we were blown away. She kept us totally updated on our dogs, loved on them so much, and left the house absolutely perfect. By far the best sitter we have found through Rover. Cannot thank her enough!

Alannah did an AMAZING job watching our sweet old lady Chloe! We traveled out of state for a wedding and were nervous leaving our older dog behind - Alannah gave us such peace of mind while we were away, giving us updates daily and loving on our sweet girl. We 10/10 would recommend her for your pet!

Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!

About: I have had a strong care for animals ever since I was young, whether they were my own or not. I have had pets since I was 5 and have dog / cat sat for 3+ years now: animals with medication needs, young babies, or even senior pups, are all welcome by me and are never seen as a hassle :) My goal is to build trust in your pet and love them as my own. I understand that a safe comfortable environment is a must for your fur baby! I am an upcoming college student who just graduated from high school. I plan on attending school in the fall, so my summer will be free! i’m available for drop ins, house sitting, walks, and doggy baths! Following instructions that accommodate the owners pet has never been an issue for me. I have dog and cat sat many times and know everyone has their own parenting preferences; whether that be crating a dog at night, timely feedings, or medications needed. I strive to care for your animals as if they are my own :)

Caroline did an amazing job caring for Beau. This was the first time that I had a sitter from Rover stay in my home. Caroline gave me a 100% comfort level. She kept me informed during the time I was travelling and sent photos. I would absolutely recommend Caroline to care for your fur babies. Thank you Caroline for the attention and care that you gave Beau!

Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.

Lauren was seriously INCREDIBLE! We left for a cruise so didn’t have much contact with her during our trip but still felt so comfortable with her being with our pups! Came home and I think my house was cleaner than I left it! The pups had some new toys and were the happiest they have ever been. They weren’t anxious seeming or anything! We will definitely be using her again and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect sitter while your away!

About: I had a large sized dog for most of my life and grew up with her from the age of a puppy until she passed away my freshman year of high school to old age. She was a pit/lab mix and I loved running with her, cuddling when she was tired, and even allowing her to "play" with me while I do yoga. I have so much love for animals, as I believe they are true reciprocates of unconditional love. I would love to spend time with your animals while you need them cared for. I am an opera singer and voice teacher. Finally, I guess a special skill would be I love relaxation techniques such as yoga, music, sound healing etc, and animals are so attuned to these activities that I could even provide a healing experience for your pet :) Available any time! Was recently let go from my job as a yoga and music teacher in the public school system due to budget cuts, so I am available all day every day beginning this summer! Ive decided to take a break from public school teaching, spend more time singing and studying my voice / music. And take some more freelance type jobs. I am extremely compassionate and really like to provide that space for an animal to feel safe and welcome in my company. I like to build a relationship with animals and eventually find a language of communication where we seem to “get” each other.

My husband and I are so grateful to have found Makenzy! She did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs while we were away. Even our one dog Koda who is a bit more skittish around new people warmed up to Makenzy rather quickly. 12/10 would recommend and hire Makenzy again and again. :)

First time using this service and will not be the last. That includes booking Emmanuel when we plan our next getaway. Our dogs took to him right away, he asked all the right questions getting to know their needs, followed every request we had and send pics/videos to make us feel comfortable. Thanks for loving our babies like we do!

About: I'm great with senior dogs and administer medication if needed. I walk, toilet, and spend time with the dogs under my care. I love dogs! :) I have always had a dog growing up in our family. I, myself, do not own a dog. But having one growing up made me familiar with including the pet in my daily schedule. Letting the dog out to use the bathroom, feeding, walking, and play time! I follow the dogs normal routine best as I can. I am there for the pets and I provide the best care possible for them.

About: Hi my name is TaylorNicole! I am a senior in college and hoping to save up money to make sure that once I leave school I have good foundation to start with. I have over 20+ years of animal caring experience. Within the last 10-15 years I have become extremely knowledgeable and skilled when it comes to dogs and cats. With ages ranging from a day old new born to a senior cat/dog, I know how to handle almost any situation. I have knowledge and skills in administrating IV fluids/medications, shots of any kind, or medications of any kinds. I’ve taken care of and fully recovered pets with PARVOVIRUS, chronic kidney disease, and diabetes. I can promise you that your baby would be in the best hands possible. I’m currently on winter break from college in the area and I have more free time than I know what to do with. Pet care would be my main priority and focus. I would be available whenever I have 4 cats myself and I care for them like they are my legitimate children. They are spoiled rotten and yours would be too. Respecting the fact the the home is the pet’s territory, making it so it was a gradual easy process of me watching the animal/s would be my main focus.

There are so many words I could pick to describe Heather but if I had to choose one it would be that she is absolutely WONDERFUL! She took care of our dog and cat with the same loving care that our family gives to our animals. Both of our pets are elderly and she was so attentive to their needs and made sure they were taken care of the entire stay. She was great with communication, also great with administering medication to both of them and going above and beyond while staying out our house. We also came home to a clean house which I was so appreciate of that! I would absolutely use her again for future trips. Highly recommend!!
