I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!

Sarah did a great job staying with our dogs for the week while we were out of town! We really appreciated that she was able to stay over night with them and keep them on their routine while we were away. I even think they are sad she wasn't the one who walked through the door when we came home... ringing endorsement from our pups! Thank you again Sarah! You're the best!

About: I currently work as a kennel attendant for an animal hospital and have been in the pet care field for about 3 years. In the time I’ve been in pet care I have learned to do nails and baths ( including sanitary trim ). I’m currently working part time and I am hoping to spend my spare time taking care of your babies and getting to know them all!! I have a friendly puppy. She loves other dogs but is scared of people. I love to take my dogs for a walk until she’s ready for a nap. I also love to snuggle and play with my fur babies.

Katlin was so considerate with us and our two doggies. She house sat for us while we were out of town. We've got a puppy, Peach and a 5 year old, Zelda. Peach is definitely a handful and Zelda requires meds daily. Katlin did a fantastic job of handling everything they threw at her. Peach ended up having stomach problems and Katlin took care of everything beautifully. We came home and the house was absolutely spotless and I know our dogs can make quite the mess. To top it all off, our construction contractor decided last minute that they were going to start on the exterior of our house and Katlin was extremely accommodating even though there was a dump trailer in the driveway and I'm sure lots of noise the last few days of her stay. I would definitely recommend Katlin to anyone, your doggies will without a doubt be well taken care of and your house will look like nobody had been there.

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!

Lori is great with our two cats and two dogs, and they all love her. We’ve had her over for check-ins, and she recently stayed with the pets at our house for a week - we came home to four happy pets. Having someone like Lori to rely on gives us great peace of mind!

This is the second time we have used Rover.com and the second time we have used Rachel R. Rachel is an awesome house sitter and our dogs Hershey & Cinnamon absolutely love her. Rachel sends us numerous pictures & funny videos while we are away. Frequently, she goes above and beyond the dog sitting service to take care of our house and our dogs. For example, the 1st time Rachel watched our dogs, she DeScaled my coffee pot and other things that Cathy & I wouldn't have even thought of. On her second time, there was a tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warning. While we hadn't left any instructions for bad weather, she contacted us immediately to let us know and to see how we wanted her to handle the dogs for severe weather. Then, Rachel kept us informed about the progression of the storms. Also, Rachel is very flexible and accommodating to our needs and last minute requests. With Rachel, we never have to worry about our dogs and can just relax and enjoy our time away. I have recommended Rachel to our neighbors and friends.

Erin did a great job caring for my four pack. Her pictures and videos showed me relaxed dogs comfortably snuggled onto her lap just like they like it. It’s nice to be able to leave them in their home environment and know they’re being cared for and loved on by someone who truly loves and enjoys pets.

Lydia is outstanding. Our senior dog can often get anxious when we are away, but he was visibly calm and relaxed with Lydia. She gave us frequent updates and kept us well informed. And while he was very happy to have us home it wasn't the manic greeting we have experienced before, it was clear he was well cared for and experienced a calm and relaxing environment while we were away.
