This is the first time we’ve used Rover, and Luie was amazing!!! Really wish we’d given it a try sooner. Our two labs were very well cared for while we were away for the weekend. Luie supplied steady pictures of their feedings, potty breaks, walks and them lounging in the evenings! We will definitely be using his services on repeat!

Samantha was awesome! First time leaving our dogs with a sitter so we were a little nervous. However, her daily updates and pictures reassured us that they were well taken care of. She definitely learned their personalities and adjusted as needed. The framed pictures left for us at the end was perfect! I would highly recommend Samantha to anyone!

Gabbi has pet sat for my multi-pet household several times (I have 3 cats, a dog, and several reptiles). Gabbi has been a great pet-sitter for me. She was flexible with spending the night at my home, making the time I was away much easier on my dog. She also wasn’t squeamish about handling mealworms to feed me bearded dragon! Every time Gabbi has watched my house she has always been good at following my pet care instructions,communicating with me if something comes up, and always leaves my house clean when I return home. I would definitely recommend her as a pet-sitter for anyone in the area.

Aiden loves animals and it’s evident by how he treats my dogs. My dogs love him and after walking them he takes time to just hang out with them. Aiden is trustworthy and has been a great help for my family. I have reached out at the last minute and he still showed up to walk my dogs!

When I went on a ten day cruise last fall, Kate M. took care of our then 8-month old Toy Poodle for the duration of our trip. She hand fed her until she became accustomed to the new routine of having someone other than her “Mommy” do that for her. Amongst a myriad of her other duties were continuing use of our verbal and hand signals, walking her (often having to come home between her college classes to do so), grooming her, and of course, the added benefit of frequent cuddling. Kate M. is responsible, caring, continues the rules that we established for our pet, and does it all with such love that any dog owner would be confident to leave their pet in her charge.

Delaney was awesome!! She came by about 2 weeks before to meet the dogs and get to know them and their routine. When it came time to watch the dogs it took some time for them to get used to her (my one dog barks aggressively at anyone that comes in the house that isn’t me, my husband, or the kids) but after a while he stopped barking at her and she came and went like she was one of their own. I can tell that they really came to love her. My one dog had a few medical issues (nothing serious) while we were away and she took care of everything and kept us updated on how he was doing. Delaney sent us pictures almost daily to show us that they were happy and taken care of. This was our first time using the Rover app and we are very happy with the experience we had with Delaney!

About: I've always had at least one dog and one cat at all times. I currently have 2 dogs right now. I have experienced in giving pill and liquid meds to dogs. My one dog would always have to be given meds with something while my other one too with ease. I've had to help wrap my sister's dogs legs with her and by myself. My personal dog currently are a 1 year old 70 lbs lab mix (male) and a 95 lbs mastiff mix (male). My sister's dog is a 50 lbs boxer mix (female). My first dog was a 95 lbs rhodesian ridge back who died of sickness at age 13. And my second dog was a 95 lbs staffordshire terrier great dane mix who passed from cancer at age 9. And I've worked with dogs at under one but over 7 months. And I've worked with seniors. Nothing grosses me out in the sense of bodily fluids I can do all the normal. I currently have no job I'm a full time college student with some extra time on my hands. I'm looking to be able to help others and maybe have some fun with some pets. I can easily crate you dog or take them on a long walk. If your animal need meds as long as I know of them I can give it to them easily (ex. liquid or pill) unless I don't know how to ( ex. shots) then I will ask if you'd like to. If they need meds or food to be given a specific way like peanut butter with the pill or has a release command to get food. I'm willing to walk through the whole house as long as doors are unlocked and check for if they made a mess either vomit or poop or pee and pick it up. Blood does not gross me out and I'm willing to do anything for their safety.

As an overly protective pet parent, I cannot express how relieved I am to have found Busara’s daycare for my beloved Labrador retriever, Max, and my sassy Bombay cat, Bella. Every time I drop them off, I know they are in the best hands. Busara treats my fur babies like their own, showering them with love and attention. Max always comes home tail-wagging happy, and I can tell he has had a fantastic day full of play and socialization with other dogs. I have entrusted Busara with my pets multiple times during vacations, and each experience has been nothing short of exceptional. The peace of mind I have knowing that my pets are being cared for by such a dedicated individual is priceless. Not to mention, her rates are incredibly affordable compared to others in town. This daycare is truly the best in town! If you love your pets as much as I do, you’ll want to give them the best experience, and this is definitely the place to do it. Thank you for treating Max and Bella like family!

I am used to walking and commanding all sizes of dog.Ive taken a pet aid course so I can act instantly when needed. I have 6 animals at home with my family and our animals are another extension of it, so I know how important it is for our pets to be safe.

Haley has been our go-to pet sitter for years now. We have 5 animals; two parrots and three dogs. Haley is reliable, punctual, dependable and very compassionate to all of our fur and feather babies. She follows our set schedules and routines. She is also cognizant of our boundaries of maintaining dog spaces and bird spaces so there are no mishaps. Haley handles the walks, feeding times, medications and clean up as needed. She also makes sure water bowls are always clean and full at every visit. We greatly appreciate the care she puts into her work with our pets and we highly recommend her! ~Ronnie W.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I have always had at least on dog in the home. I have most experience with cats and dogs..I have had birds, an iguana, hamsters, ferrets, fish, cats and dogs I have experience with my own litters of puppies and kittens, from taking care of mamas pregnancy needs, delivery, to vaccines, spading and rehoming. I always say you don't neglect the Animals, children, elderly and handicap. They all hold a special place in my heart. Pet care is my daily life starting with my own. I wake up and go to bed each and everyday caring for and taking care of the needs of animals. My schedule is very flexible as I am a retired veteran looking for ways to make a few extra dollars and do what I love. My pets in my home have a fenced in yard and a dog door. They are on a schedule for feeding. There walks are not routined due to having a flex schedule. My dogs are always harnessed, collared and leashed for every walk. They know hand signals for communication and are trained to stay on their property line. I scout every noise and unusual action with my dogs so they know I am there protector. It is important that my pets know I protect them and take care of them. It is important that they know, I am here to keep them safe not the other way around. I think a lot of people get dogs to protect them. I'm opposite, my dogs are for cuddles, I don't need them to protect me.
