“This was our first time using a home/pet sitting service. Angie exceeded all expectations of comfort and piece of mind to humans and pets alike. We feel fortunate and blessed to have found someone that feels more like an extended, trusted family with the pets and home. ❤️🐕🐾🏠❤️ The pack decided she could be part of the cool kids club.🤷‍♂️”

About: Some of my unique skills are that I have raised a pound dog who was abused in the past. He is my baby, I love him so much and he has grown a ton since being under our care. I love dogs, I have a special place in my heart for every dog I walk by! I work as a barista at Starbucks, but I would always make Time for a pet! They are so special to me. I have a very flexible schedule Monday-Sunday. I care for my pets very well. My dog means so much to me and I always make sure he is doing well. We take him on 2-3 walks a day, always feed him, and throw the ball for him. He is very spoiled. I also love to watch my friends dogs. I always make a very special bond with each dog I meet.

About: I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs from Chihuahua‘s to German shepherds and have been a proud cat Mama for 15+ years. I love spending time with cats and dogs and I really enjoy taking dogs on walks to stay active. I’m pretty much free anytime. I’m working on opening up my own solo cleaning business so I’m making sure to schedule any pet care Monday through Saturday pretty much anytime. I don’t often take care of pets in my home usually just overnight visits and as long as the pet is OK with climbing up the stairs because I live in the upstairs apartment of my parents house whenever there’s an overnight need normally I’ll go over to the owner’s home and stay there

“Did a great job taking care of Luna (dog) and KB (rabbit) over the thanksgiving holidays. He was able to take Luna on a walk and get her out of the house which was perfect for her. Would re-book again in a heart beat for my next travel needs.”

About: I have always grown up taking care of animals. I have experience, dog and cat sitting. I mostly DoorDash for work so I have a open and flexible schedule. I mostly DoorDash for work so my schedule is very flexible . I set my own hours so I have plenty of time for pet sitting. I prioritize clear communication with the owner, understand the dog's needs and routine, and ensure a safe and comfortable environment for the dog. Meeting the dog beforehand, if possible, and create a bond through familiar activities and toys.

About: I have had my own dog for over 6 years now. I've also helped take care of multiple family/friends dogs or cats. Never had any complaints :) I have a very flexible schedule, so I am usually available any days of the week and most times of the day for whatever you may need. I have a fenced in yard, and also two dogs in my home that could play with your pup to help release energy and make new friends.

About: I have been around animals and had my own dogs ever since I was born. I love animals and I would treat each and everyone as if it were my own 2 fur babies. As a teenager I used to work with a Persian cat breeder feeding and cleaning cats. I have a job that gives flexibility and different hours and days off all throughout the week and most weekends I am off. I love spending time with my dogs who are both starting in their senior years so I feel like having other dogs around will help them remember their youthful days. I have a fenced in yard, 2 dogs that are friendly at home a gated area in the house for pets. I can support most people’s needs or wants for their pets

“I have to admit I was extremely anxious about using Rover.com. In the past, I have always known my dog sitters. And then a dear friend of mine, who is as passionate about her dogs as I am about mine, highly praised the website and uses the service quite frequently. I went on the website and I searched for sitters and narrowed it down to just a few and decided on Antonio from his picutres as it was quite obvious how happy the dogs looked under his care. And he appeared to engage the dogs in varied activities. He was very helpful with his messaging and assistence during the search process. Then with the "meet & greet" with my dogs Campbell and Charlie, I knew I had made the right choice. As he also was the House sitter, upon returning home found our house in perfect order. He was in contact duirng my days away posting pictures and keeping us well informed without being excessive. Always asked questions if he wasn't sure about something. For instance, we have a dog run on the property and he really didn't need to walk the dogs with a lease: just be with them while in the dog run. Then he messengered me and asked if he could take the dogs for a walk and I suggested he walk them separately as I do. He posted photos. Campbell & Charlie both looked happy and that was that. They all needed to get out of the house and spend some time together one on one. It's clear that Antonio really likes what he does and that he truly cares about the well being and happiness of the dogs under his care. He is quite personable and easy going all the while maintaining his professionalism. I will not hesitate to use him the next time I travel and in need of a sitter.”

“Jennifer and John were such a blessing, on a seriously last minute booking! They were so responsive, made time in the less than 24 hour notice request to come over to meet our dogs. They were thorough in explaining the care they provide and very personable! As I was so nervous letting people I’d never met stay in our home they were reassuring and attentive to my multiple questions. While away, they sent many updates and pictures, again so reassuring to me! They also are so neat and tidy and took such good care of our home cleaning up after themselves, the dogs as well as washing the linens! Would absolutely recommend!! Thank you Jennifer and John!”

“Paige did a wonderful job taking care of our furry crew! She is reliable, sent regular updates, and we felt assured that everyone was getting lots of TLC. Paige went above and beyond taking care of extra duties around the house while we were away. Our crew was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. We absolutely plan to use Paige again!”

“Lisa did an amazing job house sitting the week we were out of town. She was very accommodating with our last minute request/booking, and was very knowledgeable on working with pets, therefore streamlining this whole process. She was very communicative and always kept us in the loop of the wellbeing of our pets while we were gone. As a house sitter, Lisa displayed many signs of etiquette and respected our property. All-in-all, I'm in a much more calmer state of mind knowing that whenever I need to take vacation, I know who to call. Thank you so much Lisa! <3”
