Sarah was so kind to my sweet fur babes! The day she arrived there was a tech issue for the guest pass in my apartment building and she worked with my leasing office until the issue was resolved while I was at the airport. I felt relaxed and comfortable that she was there for my doggie while I was working out of town. She sent me photos and updates and every day! I highly recommend her for pet sitting and will definitely be asking her to stay with them again when I’m out of town! Thank you Sarah!

Chase was so great with my fur babes! He sent videos and stayed with them the entire time. From the videos I could see they loved him. They followed him around and were their usual selves which tells us a lot from watching them with different people they don’t know. He spent time with them outside and hung out with our rabbit too. We would love to have him back in the future!

Lilia is amazing! This was our first time using Rover & we needed a house sitter since our old pup, Annie, is happiest at home. Lilia not only took great care of Annie, but also our property. Her daily updates were always a highlight and overall Lilia is a stellar communicator. We're excited to continue working with her for upcoming trips and are super grateful for her help.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have always lived with a cat and a dog. I have even helped my doodle birth and care for a litter of puppies which was a really cool experience! I have been with animals all ages, from puppies and kittens, to seniors. I am currently a full time nursing student, so I am availing for house sitting mostly on weekends! But always feel free to reach out, and i’ll see if I can fit something in like house sitting or dog walking during the week as well. I will be caring for pets in my clients home. By doing this the animal is already used to this environment and can maintain routine and feels safe.

Matt is a great guy. Simple and to the point— I can tell our pup was well taken care of. Another superpower of Matt’s (besides being extremely reliable) is that he takes incredible photos. Very reassuring to get updates w/ pics of your pet having a blast!

About: I am an animal lover living in College Area who would enjoy the opportunity to take care of your cat(s) or doggo(s)! I grew up with cats and have had one of my own. I also adopted my senior dog Parker in COVID times, who is no longer with us but taught me so much and I miss dearly! I am prompt, enthusiastic, clean, compassionate and reliable as a pet sitter and dog walker. I am strong enough for large dogs and active enough for dogs that require a run or hike. I am in the office half the time but can adjust my schedule with enough warning ahead of time; happy to walk before or after work My condo only allows small dogs so I am limited on sitting in my house but I miss having a dog with me so happy to watch yours if it suits us both!

Stella took care of my German Shepherd overnight stays for 2 weeks. She was responsible, responded to my texts, contacted me everyday with a text and photo and asked questions to make Maximus feel more comfortable and have more variety with me gone. She even cleaned my floors! My home was left as it was and I would highly recommend her.

About: I used to be a foster for the National Institute of Canine Service and Training for 4 years. I took care of 10 dogs in my time with NICST. I have two cats of my own but fall in love with any and all animals I am fortunate enough to meet. I am currently in university and can be quite active climbing or hiking but your pet is always my #1 priority, I am eager work around your schedule. With dogs, I use ethical and positive reinforcement to get the behaviors we want, such as walking nicely on a leash and settling when it is time to wind down. I also will send you lots of pictures to ease your mind and show you that your pet is having a lovely time.

Dee was a pleasure to work with. She stayed 2 nights with my 2 boys. Mylo is easy but just rescued Murray, still learning him myself. Dee was available for them great communicator with me and left my home the same way she found it. Low key, knows animals and would recommend her to anyone! She even gave me some pointers on managing my rescue. She's great!

Will was amazing with Willow and Wick. He was timely, communicative, and reliable. He was so great even our shy cat came out to hang out with him. He even took our puppy for her first run! He sent us pictures and videos of them everyday and if we had questions throughout our trip he responded promptly to them. We will definitely be booking Will for any future things we may need with our fur babies!

She also took wonderful care of our home. It’s rare to find someone so calm, confident, and knowledgeable with giant breeds — we are beyond grateful and will absolutely book again!

Julia was a great sitter - the house was immaculate when we came back, and she understood our dog's slightly neurotic issues. Both a heavy rainstorm and New Year's Eve fireworks, all reason to panic in his mind. We had good occasional updates while away and felt like everything was in good hands! we'd definitely use her again.

Anna was a great help to all of us when she cared for our pups… CC & Gus. She was good with both dogs, kept them happy and safe plus well fed. She seemed to enjoy her time with them and sent pictures. She stayed with them while we were gone a couple of days which made it possible for us to enjoy our time since we knew the dogs were well taken care of. Thanks Anna!
