Cory was awesome. I will definitely book with him again. He was on time and kept in contact with me throughout the house sitting process. I had a bad experience with Rover before and he has certainly renewed my faith about the program. Thanks again Cory!!

Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!

So happy I found Jess to watch my sweet Rosie girl while I was gone overnight! I will definitely be hiring her again. She was great to communicate with from setting up a meet and greet to giving me multiple updates while I was gone. In every picture update she sent, my dog looked happy and relaxed and that's all I can ask for. I highly recommend Jess to take care of your dog!

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

We're over the moon with Tarah's stellar care for our two bulldogs while we were away. She handled everything like a pro, from giving them their daily Benadryl to dealing with their sassy attitudes with patience and grace. Coming back to a house that was better than we left it and two happy pups was the best feeling ever. Tarah's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does, making her our top choice for pet sitting. If you're looking for someone reliable and caring, Tarah's your person. Huge thanks to Tarah for making our time away stress-free and our dogs' tails wag like crazy!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Neighbors, friends and family have all relied on me to walk, feed and bathe and even style their pets! Not only did I take care of others but I have my very own fur baby that I’ve been taking care of since I was a kid. I’m currently a part-time college student, a dog groomer, content creator and an aspiring entrepreneur to open my own business one day. I love to stay busy and active so your pup will get plenty of energy with me! I love to work out routinely and it’s so much more fun with dogs at my side! I am available all week and weekends just shoot me a text to let me know ahead of time, what’s your schedule, etc. I have a fenced yard and I have a dog of my own to keep your fur baby accompanied! I can crate my dog or yours if needed. I love all dogs as they are my own. It’s in my religion that animals are most sacred, so you can trust your pet is in good hands! I’m not greedy, not in this for the money, I’m willing to negotiate prices, whatever’s easier for you and to make your life more peaceful. Seriously! I do not mind! :)

Kayla was AWESOME! She stayed with our 3 year old Golden Retriever in our home while we were on a vacation for a week. She sent us photos twice a day, and even let us know what her class schedule looked like that week so we knew ahead of time when she’d be leaving him to chill at home. She was never gone for more than 2 hours, and we felt confident that our home and Benito were safe while we were away.

Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!

James is an outstanding pet parent. When I met James, he had a Labrador retriever named Albert. He had adopted Albert as a puppy. Albert was the best cared for pet ever! Albert just passed here recently at the impressive age of 14. He has also pretty pet sat for my Akita, Cash was a puppy mill rescue. I adopted him at about a year old and he was super under socialized and extremely fearful with strangers. James was wonderfully patient with Cash in giving him both the space and the nudges he needed. Rover would be fortunate to get James as part of your team
