“We are new to the area so did not know anyone to ask for dog care, so I found Elliot totally organically via Rover and am glad I did. Elliot was awesome. We had him house/dog sit for us for close to a week and he was great. Very responsive and understanding when the dates of our trip got moved around. Also he was able to swing by and let the dogs out again when our flights got delayed. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and seem like they loved him. We will be asking (hoping) Elliot can dog sit for us again in the future.”
“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!”
“Paul did a great job house sitting our reactive and skittish dog for a week while we were on vacation. Paul asked our update frequency preferences and delivered on them. Paul seems to genuinely care for Zoey's well-being and took good care of the house too. Would book again!”

“Stacey was amazing! Our baby has pretty high energy and he was having a really hard time the first day but she had so much patience with him & kept working with him to make him feel more comfortable. She even did daily check ins with me. We will definitely be using her again! :)”
“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”
“Alison was a fantastic pet sitter! We have two big dogs and three cats that are used to having people around all the time, and she fit right into the mold and took excellent care of them - providing plenty of play time, exercise, and snuggles. Alison was super communicative and shared great updates and pictures, and she also took great care of our home while we were away. I would (and already have!) absolutely book Alison again in the future!”
About: I have been house sitting and taking care of pets throughout high school and college. I have two cats of my own. I treat any pet as if it is my own when watching them! I am free a lot of the time and can work around many different schedules. I am easy to work with and am very flexible! I play with my own cats every chance I get and make sure they have everything they could need or want. I do this with the pets I watch as well because that’s how I would want my cats taken care of!
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.
