“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”

“Emma was fantastic house sitting Nacho. She gave plenty of updates and sent pictures. I could tell Nacho was well taken care of and look forward to booking with Emma again in the future”

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”

“Our experience with Leesa was fantastic. Leesa proved to be a conscientious and detail-oriented sitter. Before our engagement even began, Leesa asked to come to our house to meet our dogs so she could get an understanding of their behavior and daily routine. She was attentive and receptive to all the nuances that go into their daily routine and she was also very careful to always ask questions and permission if there was something she wanted to do (e.g., prepare home-cooked doggy treats). Leesa was also very keen to replicate routines and keep old habits going strong. For example, she recorded me putting our dogs collars/leashes on so as to not disrupt the pre-walk routine that the dogs have become used to. She also picked up on a few commands that our dogs knew, and wanted to be sure to use them. Leesa was flexible (as she came to our home a few hours earlier than originally planned) and reliable with photos and updates during the stay. My wife and I were leaving town for the weekend and, as most couples do, found ourselves hurried and late. Leesa arrived and immediately stepped in, taking the dogs on a walk. She wanted to make sure that we could finish packing and hit the road without the distraction of the dogs trying to stay good-bye. Leesa gave regular reports on the dogs while we were away and continued to be mindful of anything she thought might be worth asking. Not once did I get the impression that things could go south--she seemed 100% in control. Leesa was also as gracious a guest in our home as one could ask. We returned to a hand-written, welcome-home note and two dogs that were (seemingly) better behaved than when we left. All in all, our experience with Leesa was terrific, and we hope to be able to repeat with her as often as she'll let us.”

“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”

“Wonderful pet sitter. Went above and beyond in every respect. Showered our dogs with love. Made us feel secure despite the fact that we were states away. Left the house cleaner than when she arrived. Excellent communicator.”

“Susan is great with our dog and cats! They love her too! Our home was pristine when we returned, as if no one had even been here. Thank you Susan for giving us peace of mind when we are away!”

“Kaylyn was fabulous!!! We were her first client as she is new to Rover. Our almost 15 year old dog started with tummy issues and Kaylyn was so patient with her. She comforted her, cleaned up after her and took great care of her. Kaylyn kept us informed the entire stay also. Fortunately we realized what was causing the tummy problems (I bought new treats that didn't agree with her) and then Kaylyn was able to just enjoy being with her. She took her on 2 walks a day and our house was so clean when we got home. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!”
“Very trust worthy, leaves house like it was. Takes great care of my two dogs. Gives one dog medication on time. Good communication and reliable. My dogs enjoy her company and don’t get stressed while I’m gone”

“Brandon was a great house and dog sitter for the weekend. He was respectful and reliable. Communication was open and he was always quick to reply. Our dog can be male reactive as well but Brandon took his time and had patience when getting to know him. Absolutely would recommend and will use for his service again.”

“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”
“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”

“Our dog was in the best hands with Emma! We were gone for over a week and she made sure our girl had all the company, attention and walks she could want! Communication was amazing, especially when there was a huge unexpected snow storm! She problem solved with us the best way to ensure she could continue to take care of our dog with weather conditions making it impossible to drive. Our dog is more reserved with new people but she took to Emma immediately during her meet and greet and by a few days in to house sitting was fully comfortable with her! Our dog was happy to see us come home, but I think she's really going to miss her friend, Emma. Would 100% book again!”

About: I love being around dogs. Showing them care and attention is something the owner would never have to worry about. I love taking them for walks, playing with them as well as just showing them alot of love and attention. I am retired with 7 grandchildren. I am flexible and easy to work with. I am open to all options and will do what I can to help the owner out. I have a big fenced in yard. I will do whatever the owner asks of me if I need to stay at their place. I am an honest and caring person that will be someone that will not be a worry to someone.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew to love animals like my own family. I’m very nurturing, loving, easygoing. Please feel free to get to know me <3 I currently work part-time hours so I would have plenty of time to care for your animals and I also have a pet friendly neighborhood so your pet will always go to a dog park just to have some fun time and lots of walking. We go on walks leashed . We do nap time. We have playtime. We have breakfast/ dinner time alone just so they are comfortable . Cuddle Time. Learning new tricks.
College Hill pet parents share their Rover experiences
Casey was absolutely phenomenal. Sam and Evie enjoyed their time with her and we didn’t have to worry at all about the care of our fur babies. I would highly recommend Casey as a dog sitter. She even extended her stay due to our travel being delayed and made sure she could be with them until we got home. I would definitely use Casey again.

Our pet sitting experience with Yolena was perfect! She came over to meet our dogs in to go over their care before hand. Updated us with how they were doing while we were gone, and we came back to happy healthy dogs, and a house that was just as we had left it. My husband and I noticed that both of our dogs actually walk better on their leashes after their time with her! She is so sweet and kind and we cannot wait to book with her again and we know our dogs feel the same way!

Yolena did a wonderful job house sitting our two pups. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in perfect condition and she communicated and sent pictures during the week. I would highly recommend Yolena and would hire her again. We appreciate her doing such a great job.
