Dakota did a great job taking care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats while I was away for 5 days. A handful for sure and everyone was safe and happy when I got back.

Emma did a wonderful job watching our dog Finn. She was on time to pick up the key, and sent me pictures and texts throughout the booking so I knew Finn was fine. She played games with him, walked him and fed him on schedule. I know Finn was happy because he was not anxious when we got home. He is usually very needy and clingy after we have been away. This time with Emma, he was totally chill when we got home. I eould book with Emma again in a heartbeat!🐕👍

Sianna was amazing. Our dogs loved her! She was punctual, kind, and kept us updated through her stay. She cuddled the dogs through the thunderstorm and did a great job administering eye medication and keeping the dogs separate during feeding time. She followed the noted instructions perfectly and we will definitely continue to call her!

Mariah did of great job taking care of the dogs. They seem to really connect with her. She took them for several walks a day. Not only did she take care of my dogs , but she watered my plants and picked up my mail. She also left the house in great shape.

Katherine was great! What I appreciate most is her responsiveness to text messages and getting back to me quickly when asking for an update on how things were going. Katherine was in my home for a week and was a very considerate house-sitter. I greatly appreciate that she was respectful of my home and took excellent care of my beagle girls. I would highly recommend Katherine.

About: While I do not have professional experience, I have a vast experience with many animals. My family has had Pitbulls, Weiner dogs, Cats, and even rats, etc. I know how to care for various types and sizes of pets and frequently take care of my neighbors 3 dogs (walking all at the same time, one big dog and two wild medium ones), and 3 cats. I adore pets. I currently can't have my own due to where I live so I love to visit friends and family to see their pets <3. I am free most days of the week and can schedule around any time during the weekday. While I can work weekends, I will need a schedule ahead of time. I will make sure your "Furr babies" are safe and feel loved while the parents/owners are away or busy. I don't mind cleaning up any mess they make or if they need to be frequently walked every hour. I am also open to bathing and grooming if requested, I have experience with clipping nails, bathing, ear cleaning, brushing, etc.

Connie provided excellent care for our two dogs and two cats while housesitting. She sent daily updates and photos and everyone always looked so happy and content. She went above and beyond to tidy up and provide plenty of exercise for our two pups. She is professional, communicative, and a true animal whisperer!

Julia did a fantastic job watching our dog while we went out of town! She was very responsive and took great care of our dog and our home while we were away. We can be apprehensive about leaving our dog home, but Julia allowed us to rest easy and enjoy our vacation because of the care and attention she gave each day. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted professional to watch their pet, and she will be our go-to resource for our dog moving forward.

Destiny was excellent with my to boys. She was attentive, played games. Was in contact with me when one of mine would not eat so we could fix this. She sent lots of pics and texts per my request as I was very nervous about leaving them. But after our meet and greet, everything was wonderful. They love her. We will definitely be using Destiny again.

What do you say about someone who cares for your baby as if he were her own? Pamela was absolutely wonderful with our 7-month-old, 90-pound Rottweiler puppy, Bucky, as well as our two cats during our week away. Bucky is a sensitive puppy who is very attached to his humans, and the first day was especially difficult for him. Pamela went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She spent extra time with him, providing the emotional support and reassurance he needed to settle in and feel at home. Caring for a large puppy is no small task, and adding two cats to the mix meant she definitely had her hands full. Throughout the entire week, Pamela showed incredible patience, attention, and genuine affection for all of our fur babies. Knowing they were in such caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. We are so grateful for the love and care Pamela provided and would not hesitate to trust her with our pets again. Thank you, Pamela, for treating Bucky, and our cats, like family. We truly appreciate everything you did for our fur babies! ❤️🐾

Ashley was phenomenal! We have a very anxious dog that gets easily stressed out and do not like to board him. We usually have family watch our dog when we travel, but no one was available this time. I decided to try Rover for the first time and I am very glad I did and found Ashley. She did such a fantastic job house sitting for our dog and we returned to a happy and healthy pup. She made traveling stress free knowing that our dog was taken care of and comfortable while we were away. Ashley sent pictures and updates each day, and made the whole process very easy. I highly recommend her and she will be our go-to in the future. So happy to find someone we can trust and feel comfortable with to watch our dog and house while we are away!

I couldn’t be more thankful for finding Brittany to stay with our boys. This was really the first time I had to leave the boys with someone who’s wasn’t friends or family for an extended period of time. When she came to meet the boys she came prepared taking notes on everything we said! Then during our stay multiple times a day I got updates and pictures. The boys quickly snuggled and started loving on her. She really made me feel at ease while traveling knowing she was really caring for the boys like her own! I would and plan to use her again in the future!!
