“Maisie was amazing! She took great care of our dog and kitty while we were away for a week. She sent pictures which warmed our hearts and made sure our dog got adequate exercise. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babes!”

“Ryan was incredible!!! She was so sweet and great with our 3 crazy labs. She also went above and beyond bringing out treats for them as well as bringing water out for them after our cistern pump stopped working during her time watching them. We appreciate her attentiveness and will absolutely book with her in the future!”

“Liza took wonderful care of our dog. She was on time, easy to communicate with and sent photos every day. She asked good questions during our meet and greet and followed through with all the instructions beautifully. She left the house in perfect shape after staying over. I would highly recommend Liza!”

About: Hi, I’m Bri I have been an animal caretaker for years and worked at a couple horse barns. I rescued and trained my current dog Duke and now he’s a service dog. I believe in flexibility and helping my community so please reach out:) I am working part time as a CNA and in school. I am constantly out with my pup and take care of my landlords dog often too. So I would be available most times during the week/weekends. I am a big believer in a well exercised dog is a well behaved dog. Mine gets out for some sort of running/exploring activity daily and hiking multiple times in the week, that said let’s add yours!
“Brandy is an exceptional pet caregiver! We left on a four day trip, not realizing our cat Earl Grey had an infected wound that would need emergency surgery. Under some very difficult circumstances Brandy took care of Earl pre and post surgery. She kept us informed of his progress through phone calls, text messages and photographs. She assured us that her priorities were to make sure Earl was safe and comfortable. After arriving home, Brandy stayed to meet us and gave us a debriefing of what was done and what needed to continue for Earl's care. She shared and demonstrated some tips and tricks that she found successful in caring for an outdoor cat that now had to stay indoors with a cone around his head. We cannot thank Brandy enough for the compassion, confidence and grace that she showed during this unexpected and challenging booking.”

“I would happily hire Holly again! She was communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures, gave great care to my pets, and most importantly, my pets loved her.”

“Traci did a fantastic job house sitting for us and had great communication. She provided daily photos and was very accommodating for our dog. Would definitely recommend!”

“Cam was really fantastic. Took great care of our home, doggie, and two kitties. He was very communicative while we were gone and left the house super tidy. He also was flexible about staying later should we have needed it (our flight home was delayed).”
“Zoe did so great with both my shy dog and my outgoing dog. Being away from home is stressful, but its so much easier when I know my dogs are being well taken care of. Would definitely book again!”

About: I have been around pets from a young age and grew up with both dogs and cats. My parents wanted to teach my sister and I the responsibility of taking care of our pets, and got us a cat that we were solely responsible to care for and I have loved caring for pets ever since! I have taken care of many pets since and have a dog of my own now. I work outside of my home Monday through Thursday from 8-5, I do have a shorter day on Friday, working 8-2. I have an hour break for lunch and typically go home to let my own pup out and would happily to the same for yours! I have a fenced in yard and a pup that loves everyone and will happily make your pets feel right at home. I can crate your pet if needed. My goal is always to make sure that any pet that I’m caring for feels comfortable and gets lots of play time.
“Cyrus took great care of our pets. They were very relaxed when we got home and you can tell they had a stress-free week. He left our apartment very clean and was responsive when we messaged. Thanks so much Cyrus, hope to book with you again!”

“Alice was so good with our dog Jacoby. We could tell from the photos she sent that he was really enjoying himself. We got updates and photos from Alice during her time at our home. We would highly recommend Alice to other dog sitting families. We hope to have Alice back again. :)”

“Rosie did a great job with my reactive/anxious pup. I loved that she sent photos while I was away, and I felt confident leaving Winnie in her care. Would recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! Growing up, cats were our only pets and they still hold a special place in my heart. For the past 12 years, my parents, sister, and extended family have slowly grown their packs of dogs and, as a result, I’ve become a huge fan of playing and snuggling with those furry beasts. I love taking dogs outside (hiking, running, camping, rafting, etc) or cuddling up on the couch after a long day. Dogs of any size are fine by me, but I have a lot of love for larger and more energetic breeds. I am reliable, honest, and positive in my interactions with humans and animals! I am a teacher without pets or kids of my own, so my schedule is pretty flexible! I can easily fit pet care into my routine. I will respect the boundaries and expectations you set for how to care for your pets and home. I will treat your animals with affection and give them the attention they deserve.
“Lynda went above and beyond. She took wonderful care of my pets and my home. I got updates with THE cutest pictures, and they were smiling in every single one! Couldn't have asked for a better sitter to watch my critters!”

About: I am a young adult who is passionate about giving animals the best, most happy time full of treats and playtime. I have experience successfully training dogs as I currently have a puppy of my own. i have a set schedule for my job where I work Saturday - Wednesday during the day; leaving the evening and my days off open for fun activities with my dog or others. I live in a pet friendly apartment and have a little one of my own to keep your fur baby company, I am also able to crate you pet if needed. I typically let my pup roam freely around the apartment as he is a very good listener. If I were to care for a pet in a clients home, I will respect their ways of living and the rules that they have set for their pet(s).
“Nicole did an outstanding job with our dog Brooklyn. She stayed in our home which was a better situation for Brooklyn! All Brooklyn’s meds were given and updates with pictures of Brooklyn were sent! She didn’t even miss us and loved her time with Nicole! I will use Nicole again in the future she is an outstanding dog sitter!!!”

De Smet pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah and her husband were exactly what we were looking for. We need someone to come and stay with our 4 dogs and 2 cats on occasion and they fit the bill perfectly. Super easy to communicate with, they sent pictures and I know our dogs had a ball with them. They brought their well behaved dog with our blessing and everyone got along great. I highly recommend Hannah!
