“5 star pet sitter! It was clear from the get go Zoe takes it seriously. Absolutely will book again. Updates with pictures were thorough, thoughtful, and consistent. I felt like my kitty was safe and in good hands. Thank you!”
“Danielle did a great job caring for Mozzarella! She kept us updated with lots of pictures and let us know how the stay went. We definitely recommend Danielle!”
“Noah did an exceptional job house sitting and cat sitting while we were away. Our cats are really social and used to someone working from home, so it was a big change for us to be away. Noah gave us peace of mind going above and beyond to spend extra time with them, and send us photos and video updates.”
“Emily is awesome. She was available a bit early, took the time to get to know Sam on a little walk. Our rescue hound immediately liked her and the only anxiety was his owners, who quickly relaxed chatting with her. Thank you!”
“Rosie was wonderful! She arrived right on time and my dogs loved her immediately. She was extremely accommodating of last minute change. She was kind, professional and clearly has experience with pet care.”
About: I didn't grow up with animals, but not for lack of asking my parents. I now have two cats, and I often take care of my partners' two sweet dogs. I cultivate a loving, playful, and consistent environment for my fur babies. I also have years of experience taking care of my friends' dogs. I am very active and able to take your dog on long walks/hikes. I have experience with leash aggressive and sensitive dogs, as well as high-drive pups. I adore cats and love finding their favorite spot to be pet or favorite way to play. I would be honored to meet and care for your dog or cat. My schedule is very flexible, and I am available all day, weekdays and weekends, to care for your dog. If desired, I am able to take your pup on long walks/hikes in the mornings before it gets too hot, and I have experience with leash-aggressive and sensitive dogs. In your home, I would want to discuss any of your and your pup's usual routines and expectations to ensure your dog is comfortable and that we are able to build trust. At my own home, my partner and I share two dogs and two cats. They get along great and all are friendly, but it might be easier if I stay at your house, unless your dog prefers lots of furry friends. I am able to take your dog out for walks and hikes, length depending on their needs.
“I could tell that my boys were treated like family while she stayed at my house. My trip was stress free knowing they were in good hands, and my house was spotless when I returned.”
“Holly was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve used Rover for my pets and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. She sent great updates and pictures during her stay and left my house/yard cleaner than it was before!”
“Danny was such an amazing sitter for my dog! He played with her a ton and gave her lots of attention. He also did an excellent job caring for a medical issue that popped up right before I left. Danny left the house spotless and my dog happy, and I can't recommend him enough!”
“Kelsey did such a great job with my two dogs! Would definitely book again and recommend. Dogs were supper happy ana played outside a lot with Kelsey. She sent pictures and they were the happiest boys! Thank you Kelsey for a wonderful experience!”
“Haley was great! I was out of town for 4 days. Haley came to the house 3-4 times a day to walk, feed and play with my dog. I am extremely happy and relieved I found such a trustworthy and great dog sitter! I will definitely be using her in the future?? Thank you!”
“Mya did a great job caring for my anxious/reactive pup. She was easy to communicate with and jumped in for a last minute booking when another sitter fell through. Would recommend her for others!”
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I live with my family, two dogs, cat and chickens in Frenchtown near the pond. Our home has lots of room for dogs to run and a pond in the backyard for those swimming dogs. I've been dog sitting for friends and family for years and have had dogs my whole life. I love playing tug of war, cuddling on the couch, walking, and practicing tricks. I have a 10 year old kid who is also smitten with dogs of all sizes so if you are planning to board a dog she will be overjoyed to give your pup lots of attention! I work from home so can let dogs out when they need outside time and have no commute to be able to play over lunch and after work I have a large yard for supervised running around and a pond for those dogs that love to swim. I have a smaller fenced yard to let pups out for a quick potty break. Our two dogs are pretty lucky getting free range of the house but I can also crate your dog
“Lynda was the most accommodating and considerate house sitter. She met with us several times prior to our departure and became familiar with both our dogs. My pups were well cared for and we got daily updates with pictures. The added bonus was I returned to an immaculate clean house - I highly recommend Lynda as a reliable and loving friend to your pets when you are out of town.”
About: I love animals of all sizes and ages. I grew up with dogs, and now have 4 cats in my household. I would love to take care of your special furry family member! I do have a job with varying hours, but let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! Animals are my passion, just not my day job. I am good with handling dogs (and cats) regardless of how friendly (or not) they are. I’m also a very neat person and will treat your space like my own!
“Jessica did an amazing job for us. We have two dogs, three cats, 24 chickens and a large garden. It’s a lot. To top it off, one of our dogs is on the reactive side. I’m always really nervous leaving them with a new house sitter, especially someone that doesn’t have a lot of experience with reactive dogs. Jessica spent extra time with us before we left to learn all the ins and out of our crew, including going for a walk with me and the more reactive of our dogs. She also asked to come early the day we left so she could make sure she was doing things right. It was great. I asked her to keep in close contact, which she did. She took great care of our garden and new trees too. She even was willing to pick bugs off of my current bushes to try to save them from a heavy infestation of current worm. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Olivia was so thorough and did not hesitate to ask any questions to make sure the animals received the best care. She even took one of my pets in for an emergency appointment and effectively communicated what the vet said.”
