“Amber was so accommodating and flexible with us and our changing schedule. We got photos and videos and through those it was obvious that our dog, Cain was comfortable with her and having fun! I felt so at ease knowing he was in good care. When we first met she asked so many thoughtful questions that left me feeling that this was a good match for us. Would recommend and would definitely reach out to Amber again.”

“Lauren is the best! Our dog loves her “vacations” with Lauren and we appreciate knowing she’s being so well taken care of. We get fun updates throughout the day, awesome communication, and Lauren is always reliable and so kind. We’re so grateful for her!”

“Melanie was great with my two dogs and cat! She gave them all the attention they needed!! lots of love, time, attention and play! They were her top priority for the whole week! She also sent pics and updates.”

“Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!”

About: I grew up on a farm caring for all variety of animals. I am a dog mom of 2 pit mixes, and I adore puppies!! I love long walks on trails and neighborhoods, giving kisses while watching the sunset, and all about fine-dining treats! I work from home so I have the flexibility to care for your pets! I am active as well as love being a couch potato. I can take long or short walks (I need my steps!!) I am consistent and flexible! I have cared for many pets throughout my life, I am alert to any issues, and I am strong for those heavy pullers on a leash
“Alex recently stayed at our house to take care of our Cocker (Cooper) as well as tropical fish. Cooper took to her right away. She obviously has a love of dogs. Many walks and pictures. No dead fish! Highly recommended!”

“My dog and I fell in love. Andrea is amazing. I feel so comfy on vacation because she is an excellent sitter for my Kayce. My pitbull was in heaven! She is the best. Highly recommend.”

“This was our first time using Rover and we truly hit the lottery with Alexa. She took exceptional care of our sweet old man and showed so much compassion, patience, and empathy while staying with him over the weekend—which turned out to be some of his final days with us. Knowing Chance was loved and so well cared for during that time meant everything to our family. I would use Alexa again in a heartbeat and cannot recommend her highly enough. 💛”

“We booked Rachel for 6 days of dog sitting in our home so we could attend a wedding in Mexico. We had Rachel come over a few times for drop in visits and a meet and greet so she could tour the home and meet our dog. We are so thankful that we booked with Rachel! She communicated to us even though we were out of the country, sent photos, and updated us on our dog’s days. We have never been away from our dog this long - and we will definitely be booking Rachel again! She totally put us at ease. We had such a wonderful vacation knowing our Ruby was in good hands. If you have an over anxious dog, Rachel is the dog whisperer!”

“We had a wonderful experience with Enrique! From the start, his communication was excellent. He was quick to respond, clear with details, and kept us updated throughout the stay. He arrived exactly when he said he would and made sure our two dogs felt comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates. It was so nice to see our dogs happy and relaxed while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

“It was so great having Kailee stay at my place to watch my German Shepard and cat while i was away for a long weekend. She updated me with a few pics along with status updates on how my pets were doing. 10/10 I will definitely be using Kailee again when i need someone to watch my animals”

“Alicia is wonderful! My little old dog loves her, and she managed to deal with my cat who hates everyone. She sent photos and regular updates , and left my apartment immaculately clean. We’re so lucky to have found Alicia, and can’t wait to have her back again!”

“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”

“Aida was great!!! It was our first booking through Rover for our Rottie and cat. Aida’s communication was excellent even sending pictures of our guys during our time away. It was a great first experience!!!”
