Nancy went above and beyond caring for our boy and home while we were away! Additionally, we appreciated her responsive communication and the extra time she took for two meet and greets. We highly recommend her services.

Ky provided outstanding care for our pets when house sitting. We felt very comfortable with her in the home, and she willingly helped with extra little things like taking the trash tote to the street. She provides that extra touch of reassurance and comfort. Ky is mindful to send videos and photos, which made the family smile while away. You can tell she totally loves animals. I will certainly request her again when the need arises.

This was our first time using Andrea and she really did a fantastic job! We were nervous as we haven’t really had that great of luck with our past house/pet sitters. She took time to meet us and even took notes on how to care for our fur babies. Our house was left as we had left it and she spent genuine time with our pets. So pleased with her and already have her scheduled for another one! Highly recommend her!! :)

Laura is amazing! Our dog gets nervous around new people and she was so accommodating to schedule a meet and greet before our trip to put him at ease. He was so well taken care of and our house was very clean when we returned. We very much appreciated the updates and photos while we were away as well!

Tori was an excellent sitter for my first big trip of the year out of the US. Of course my trip coincided with the biggest snowstorm of the winter so far, and I was too far away to be of any real help. Tori made sure my dogs were safe and comfortable, and went the extra step of ensuring my house survived the extreme weather. She was very communicative and kept me informed about the weather, house and dogs. We had one incident where one of my dogs got into some non-dog friendly snacks, but Tori was on it! She informed me, and contacted a local vet as a precaution. All was well in the end. I highly recommend Tori for your pet care needs!

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.

Lacey has taken excellent care of my two Boston terriers on a regular basis for years now! One is a senior who needs carried up and down stairs with assorted health issues that come with age including needing eyedrops and different meds. The other is a high energy little guy who needs constant cuddles, playing & attention. Both absolutely adore her and I know they get the best possible care with her! I travel often for work & she’s the only person I feel comfortable leaving them with. She’s also incredible with cats of any age & temperament. Your fur kid will thank you for having her come hang out with them. Couldn’t reccomend higher.

We hired Jessica for the first time to pet/house sit our 11 year old golden retriever. She was excellent! She came over prior to meet us and our dog. She communicates well, giving us updates 2-3 times/day; she sent lots of adorable pictures as well! She washed her sheets/towels (without being instructed to) and left the house neat and tidy. Our dog seemed happy when we returned. We would definitely recommend her and will hire her in the future.

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! 💜

I am definitely a helicopter parent when it comes to Pickles, but Javon was the best sitter ever. Can’t wait to have them back to hang out with our little cream puff.
