“Quick and thorough communication before and during her care of my dogs. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special medication requirements and she was wonderful about making sure he got what he needed.”

“Debbie was great. She handled everything professionally, asked great questions, and even had some suggestions. Good communication leading up to and during our trip. We would use her again.”

“Selena was awesome with my dogs and cat. She accepted the booking on short notice and was on time and professional. She provided great care for them and went above and beyond. Would highly recommend and will utilize her services again. You should ask her how helpful she is around the house! 😁”

“Adam & Vaitiary are the absolute BEST! We feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with them! They treat them like the princesses and are so in tune to their needs! Highly recommend!”

“Eliza is a show stopper when it comes to pet sitting! We needed someone to watch our 3 fur babies while we were out of country and have always been very careful with who we select. Our dogs who are sometimes shy took to her almost right away and loved their initial walks with her. She was extremely thorough in her questions about the dogs, emergency contacts, etc and had great communication while we were gone as well. It really helped knowing they were in amazing hands. When we returned she had even kept up with watering our plants and washed all the linens she used! We would recommend Eliza to any and everyone.”

“Lilliana went above and beyond in watching our home and dog, giving us so much peace of mind and going the extra mile from meet and greet to when we returned from our trip! Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi, my name is Siobhan (Shh-Von) I started recently caring for animals in a professional setting this year, but have had/cared for animals my whole life. Ask me for references, and I’d be happy to give them to you. I have experience for caring for all sizes and ages of dogs, cats, bunnies, small birds, and some experience with horses. I do work full time. I can check on your fur baby's after work in the evenings around 8pm, but I am also completely free Friday's and Saturday's! I have reliable transportation. I can come to you and your fur child when you need a check in, potty break, food, water, a walk, or overnight stay on Thursday nights or Friday nights.
“I honestly can’t say enough amazing things about Marie!! We’ve used multiple sitters on Rover before, and she is in a league of her own. She went so far above and beyond—sending tons of photos and videos, keeping our home spotless, and even helping set up a water fountain and troubleshoot our cats’ picky eating habits. It’s clear she genuinely cares. Most importantly, she loved our cats like they were her own, and that meant everything to us. She was truly an angel and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her. We will absolutely be using her again—she deserves every bit of recognition! Thank you so much Marie!!”

“Dayton is amazing! He watched my dog in my home and was wonderful. He followed all my instructions and took awesome care of him. He gave me updates and responded quickly to all messages. You will not regret having Dayton watch your pet!”
About: I’ve always been the first to offer help when it comes to my family and friends dogs, although I’ve never owned my own because of my living circumstances I’ve always been extremely passionate about dogs and their behavior and I know quite a bit about them, including details about some breeds, mainly medium to large ones. I’ve owned guinea pigs now for over 7 years, my first guinea pig passed away after almost 7 years and I now have 3. Animals are a huge part of my life and I strive to treat every and anyone’s pets like they’re my own. My schedule is always open as of now, I have more than enough free time to ensure your furry friend is well taken care of. I will do my best to give your dogs my absolute full efforts to make sure they are happy and content. I have a lot of energy, so playing with dogs is never a problem. I can take them outside as much as needed
About: I really enjoy spending time with animals especially dogs it's hard to find a dog I don't like so what I think you'd like most is that it as long as I'm enjoying it I'm pretty sure your dogs will enjoy it too, and I'm a very responsible pet owner myself. I've had dogs in my life since as far back as I can remember, when I was a child my father trained a German Shepherd mix how to count he could count up to 10 however many fingers you held up he would bark that many times. in my younger teens I had a paper route and my dog as a child learned my whole paper route and would follow me to do the Sunday paper. My current dog is a boxer mix and I trained him to work as a service animal just last year although he's no longer on duty he's one of the best dogs I've ever known. In addition to providing Services on rover I have spent a volunteer for the Marion County Dog Shelter for the last year mainly as a foster adoption ambassador. Dog care is all I do it is my main job I'm just finishing my certification in dog behaviorism I intend to train and care for dogs the rest of my life I live on a corner a lot with a large fenced yard I have a chihuahua, A husky who loves to play with everybody And I have a mini Australian Shepherd She is mainly a ball chaser.
“We could not have had a better sitter than Kelsea! It was very clear right at the get-go at our meet-and-greet that she was exceedingly competent at dog care thanks to her extensive history in dog rescue. She understood and followed all our instructions/requests with ease, such as with their diet since they needed to avoid gaining weight. She then went the extra mile by being extremely attentive to their eating habits, asking permission to alter meals so that they were eating better, which we really appreciated! Her attention to detail was impeccable. She also introduced new toys/treats for mental stimulation without causing them to gain weight (: Finally, she showed through plenty of pictures and updates how much love and attention the animals were getting! They looked so calm and happy when I returned home. If you want peace of mind that your animals are in the hands of someone who will love on them, Kelsea is your girl! Than you, Kelsea!”

I hired Matt for house and dogsitting while I was away for New Years, and he was very friendly and professional throughout the process. He kept up my young and active dog’s daily routines well, he sent me occasional updates, and he was very responsive when I reached out with questions. I’d definitely hire Matt again.
