1. Anna B.
“Anna was great with communicating with us and giving us updates. She played with our dog each day and gave him lots of attention. It was a peace of mind knowing that our dog was at home and in his comfortable environment. He seemed very happy when we returned after being gone for two weeks. I would recommend Anna and will plan to use her again when we are out of town.”
2. Tracy E.
“Tracy did such a great job! I have three Samoyeds which can be a handful at times. He sent daily pictures. I plan to use him again! Thank you Tracy!”
3. Lydia H.
“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”
4. Erin D.
“Erin was awesome with Anubis and very flexible when my plans had changed. I will definitely have her watch Anubis again knowing he will be in excellent hands.”
5. Cruz G.
“Cruz is the best! His 2 kitties are happy and healthy with lots of toys, nature to watch from the window, and they’re never hungry. He also helped me dog-sit for my friend one weekend and he played with him, walked a trail, and gave him cuddles the whole time. I definitely recommend!”
6. Brooklyn P.
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
7. Alydia N.
“Alydia did an amazing job watching our pups. She went above and beyond with everything that was asked of her. Great communication as well! 10/10 recommend”
8. Garrett R.
“Garett was wonderful. He sent photos of our pups every day, stayed at the house and took care of it (a real perk to know someone was loving on my boys daily just as we would. He let us know when he’d be out, he was so communicative and even fed the cat when she happened to run out of food a few days before we returned (she’s a fat cat!). The pups seemed to adjust well to him and the meet and greet beforehand was super helpful so they knew we approved of him. All in all we would highly recommend Garrett to our friends and family. He did a great job and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”
9. Mason H.
“Mason is very personable and clearly loves animals. He did a wonderful job taking care of our cat. Upon my return I could see Mozart was well cared for - food and fresh water available, and he had been brushed, as his fur was soft and fluffy.”
10. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie has been a pet owner for many years. She loves ALL animals! She has a very calm nature and lights up at the sight of any fur baby! She is a kind and compassionate human being and would be excellent with fur babies.”
11. Mary C.
“Mary was absolutely incredible with our senior dog Connie. She followed all the care instructions really well and provided daily updates while we were on vacation. She even offered to stay later to wait for us to board our flight to make sure we were making it home on time in case of any delays or cancellation. She also cleaned up our place, washed the sheets and dishes which we never expect pet sitters to do, but it was amazing to come home late and not having to do laundry. We won’t hesitate to book with Mary again next time we are on vacation”
12. Amy N.
“Amy was amazing! We have a 15 year old bichon who gets anxious when we are not home. Amy was so good to our little guy! He warmed right up to her! Amy was a fantastic house guest. We would definitely use Amy again and I would highly recommend her.”
13. Bree B.
“Bree has spent the last week watching our 9 month old puppy. She suggested doing scent games to keep him occupied and mentally stimulated as well as other basic training he is still working on. She sent lots of photos and always kept us in the loop!”
14. Brianna R.
“Brianna did an amazing job and did well with our dogs. She was accommodating and understanding of their needs. She does only work within a certain radius, though, and neither of us realized that until too close to time. For this reason, we will not book again.”
15. Sarah S.
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I would love to care for your pet. I have been around cats, dogs, reptiles, horses, and more all my life and would absolutely love the chance to get to know your furry friend. I have an excellent grasp of animal body language and a calming presence that allows me to make quick friends with animals of any kind. My services are open right now for dog walking and dog/cat/reptile in-home visits. Rest assured your furry family will receive all the love, patience, and compassion they require. Your pet’s care will be a load off your mind while they’re in my care! Right now, Rover pet care is one of my top priorities along with a part-time job. I’ll be able to care for any pets for multiple hours each day that is required. While walking your dog I will ensure they get enough time to get their energy out, sniff their outdoor curiosities, and tossing around a toy or two wouldn’t hurt! For in-home dog/cat visits, I’ll be sure to play, feed, and spend time with your furry family to ensure they stay happy, safe, and healthy for your return. If any issues or questions arise I will not hesitate to contact you!
16. Alyssa L.
“Alyssa is awesome!!!!! Phoebe went right to her which isn’t something she usually does with new people. She took super care of her with treats and walks and quality time! I highly recommend Alyssa!!!”
17. Sami R.
“Sami wathced our dog over the weekend and did an amazing job. She was nice enought to come over to our house before our trip so that we could introduce her to our dog and our house, which helped us feel much more comfortable. She sent us daily pictures/updates. We would definitely choose to work with her again!”
18. Natalie E.
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie and I have been a dog lover my entire life! I am 25, a RN, and a newlywed! I have owned 2 basset hounds in my life - Claire, who passed away in 2016, and Mabel, who is currently under the care of my parents, as she didn’t adjust well to the apartment I moved in to. I have dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college, and volunteered at local animal shelters. I am looking to make some extra money in my spare time and get my “doggie fix” since my Mabel isn’t living with me at this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your pups! As a nurse and a wife, my schedule varies, but I’m willing to be flexible and accommodating as long as I’m booked well enough in advance. I will make your pet(s) my number 1 priority. I know from my own personal experience how worrisome it can be to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I hope I am someone who can relieve that worry for you.
19. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She sent us frequent updates while we were away which gave us great peace of mind and she was a great listener with all of the little details of our goofy (and sometimes challenging) dog. She cleaned up after any messes he made and got him a variety of types of exersize as well as making sure he ate his food. She let us know about any problems and asked us how we would like them handled if she hadn't already taken care of it. She even brought a toy for him! Stephanie was such a blessing and we will be inviting her back if we travel in the future.”
20. Erin K.
About: I am a college student in the healthcare field who has a special place in my heart for pups! I have a fur baby who live out of town and am excited to look after yours! I have experience watching and caring for dogs, rodents (specifically guinea pigs, rabbits and hamsters), and fish. However, I am open to caring for other species as well! I am happy to put my knowledge into practice when caring for any pups, specifically those with special considerations such as senior pups. I have particular experience with caring for a dog with pancreatitis which includes sticking to a specific diet and administering oral medication. Id love to care for your pets and keep them safe and happy :) I am currently a college student who has time on the weekends to play and take care of your furry friend! Whether it’s staying with them while you’re on a weekend away, or stopping in to say hi. I am adaptable and willing to follow any house rules you have in place! I am also happy to take care of other things around the house (such as plants, aquatic animals, etc) as needed!
