“Heather did a great job looking after our pets while we are away for almost a month. We came home to a happy and well cared pets. She did amazing updating us on her every visit that includes photos and videos of our dog and cats. We were at peace knowing that our pets were in good hands. She’s very calm, gentle, and professional. Can’t recommend her enough! We will definitely book her again next time we need someone to check on our fur babies.”

“Boryana did a great job looking after my cat while I was away! This was my first time leaving my cat for an extended period of time, but Boryana provided updates and photos that made me feel confident my cat was in good hands! My cat is normally shy but quickly warmed to Boryana and even sat on her lap by the end of the trip!”
“Stacey was fantastic. We were nervous about leaving because one of my cats is in an end of life period. Stacey was incredibly communicative and flexible which made it so much easier to be away. She send video and pictures so we could see how both cats were doing and was flexible in terms of providing care based on how they were doing. Highly recommend and would book again.”
“Being my first time using Rover, I was a bit unsure, but Yasmine made the whole experience so easy and reassuring. She took such great care of my cat, Xavi, and kept me updated with messages and adorable photos. It was clear that Xavi felt comfortable with her, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Yasmine’s attention to detail and genuine love for animals really stood out. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my first time using Rover, and I’ll definitely trust her with Xavi again in the future!”

About: I've taken care of family and friends dogs in the past for whenever they went on vacation and I had a shih tzu of my own for 11 years before she passed away. My current days off are Sunday-Wednesday so I have plenty of free time to play/taken care of any pets during those days. On work days I'm available after 7pm. My yard is not fenced but my family and I have 4 acres, plenty of room for walking/running/playing with any dog. I'll try my best to accommodate any requests asked of me.

Having been a dog owner for more than 10 years, I am skilled in head scritches and belly rubs, and am not scared of slobbery kisses or getting dog hair on my clothes.

Dayton pet parents share their Rover experiences
It was my first time using a Rover service. Mutsuko and Toru were reliable and handled two energetic, crazy, big boys very well. I used to bring them to the dog hotel, but I hate the fact that they are over-vaccinated to stay there. I was thrilled to see the pictures they sent me of every walk, and I was notified of their bathroom activities. I do highly recommend them.
Mutsuko was a wonderful cat sitter! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. She was kind, attentive, and thoughtful. She meticulously looked after our cat Cheddar’s needs (fresh food, water, litter, etc.) and health. And also considered his emotional well being, playing with him, mixing in various toys and leaving some out in fun places so he could play when she was gone. She gave us wonderful reports which we looked forward to each day. We missed him, but could really enjoy our vacation knowing he was in the best hands. Cheddar really bonded with her, which is just as important as us being happy with her! Her husband Toru is also terrific and his love of cats is evident! We will definitely be using them again!
