“My dog, Cassie, can be very wary of strangers and Tasha handled it like a pro! She sent lots of pictures, let me know what was going on with the fur babes, and left the place just as neat as it was left to her. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs. I am a retiree that has a fairly open schedule and able to spend the night at your home. I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.
“Sarah was awesome! She took great care of our home and pups while we were away. She sent pictures and gave us lots of updates regarding our pets. We felt very relieved to know that our dogs were being cared for so well.”
“Ashley was absolutely amazing. Our dogs loved her from day one and felt so comfortable around her. The pictures we received daily were a wonderful bonus that made us feel so comfortable knowing they were happy and taken care of. Will definitely use her again.”
“Emma was so amazing with my girls! I was very hesitant to bring on a new sitter in the middle of a medical shit-show for my oldest dog. Emma showed up at 5:45 AM (That already earns her a 'you're amazing!' in my book) and stayed with my two younger girls so that I could take my oldest one for specialized care at a vet teaching hospital. She didn't mind that I didn't know when I'd get back. She didn't mind that I'm a complete hot mess express. The girls absolutely loved her, and I loved that the first thing she did at our meet and greet was play with them. When my middle girl didn't want to eat while I was gone, she even tried hand-feeding her. Emma is the MVP, and I know I will be using her many times in the future.”
About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
“Deborah has always been very helpful and was used to watch our animals previously. Upon seeing she was still caring for fur kids she was the first pick for us. We reached out to her as well as others very late in the evening believing the rover app likely sent them an email and we’d just get a response within a few days. Deborah was the first to respond and did so almost immediately after sending the request for her to watch our animals. By the following morning she was already chosen and booked by us. It was one less concern for when the day came for our own vacation. We have chosen to use her as a house sitter both times for our great dane(s) and cat. The first stay she watched two Great Danes one of which required extra care due to his age. Recently he passed she showed how much she cared about him and you could tell she honestly cares very much for the animals she has stayed with. Our female Dane has been taking some preventatives to ensure as she is aging that she is given every opportunity to live a healthy life with less risks of health issues. Deborah is always more than willing to help with any medications or preventatives while we are away. She also continued care for our cat which had been dumped out in our driveway that we decided to provide a home to. That cat also seems to enjoy the care she receives and Deborah also provides pictures and information while caring for them. If there are any questions or concerns she will reach out as a responsible house sitter should to ensure the pet is receiving any/all care as you would want/expect or do yourself has you been home and available. Will definitely book with Deborah again, our animals really enjoy their time with her and the attention she provides them.”

About: I've taken care of dogs for years in all stage of life. I'm not afraid do give them medicine if they need it. I love walking so it's always nice to have buddy with me. I also have experience with senior dog. I get up do around check for my own fur babies. Refill they bowls and give them one of their berry biscuits then I will take them out for a walk before I leave for work. I go by what the clients want, if they have specific routine for their pets I follow it to the letter.

Plus I try my best to walk them under a shady route in the summer so they're paws do get burned on hot concrete

“Aubrey is wonderful with Zero my 92 lb German Shepherd! She always arrives on time and did 2 meet and greets before to get to know him. She handles larger dogs with ease and is always aware of surroundings while walking him. Zero does not like many people. Zero warmed up to her in about 10 mins the first time, 2 mins the 2nd time and he was immediately her friend the next. This is unheard of with Zero. I am so thankful she was not intimidated and I could clearly tell the 1st time meeting her she loves dogs. She had the pack leader mentality which u need with Zero and won him over quickly. I will continue to use Aubrey she is trustworthy and dependable. She stayed at the house and treats my house as if her own. Having her watch Zero allows me to be gone without worry. I am so thankful I connected with her on Rover. She takes care of my dog just like her own. She is a top notch dog sitter!!”
