We couldn’t be more grateful for Lauren and Doug while we’re away on vacation. Knowing our home and pets are in such caring, capable hands truly puts our minds at ease. It’s clear they treat everything as if it were their own, and we love getting updates that show just how happy and relaxed everyone is. It feels like our pets are having their own little vacation playing with Nala! We highly recommend Lauren and Doug to anyone looking for trustworthy, attentive sitters.

Ashley is incredible! Her and her son actually left our house nicer than we left it for her. She went way above what was expected of her like she vacuumed our house totally not necessary but we sure did appreciate it. Most definitely she will become a part of this family in some capacity.

We cannot recommend Ronny highly enough! When another sitter backed out at the last minute, we reached out to Ronny on short notice. He responded promptly and was more than willing to come by for a meet and greet, which immediately put us at ease. From the moment he walked in the door, our cats were comfortable with him which is not always the case. Ronny took his time answering all of our questions and asked thoughtful questions of his own. Even though we admittedly have a very detailed list of instructions, he did an amazing job remembering all the little things and checking in regularly with messages and photos throughout his stay. It was clear that Ronny genuinely cared about making sure our cats were happy, comfortable, and well loved while we were away. He was also incredibly respectful of our home, leaving everything exactly as we left it. He even went above and beyond by offering to clear our driveway after an unexpected snowfall. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes the extra mile and treats your pets like their own, Ronny is absolutely the person to book!

Alexandra house/dog sat for me and did a great job. I felt very comfortable having her in my home and trusted that she'd take good care of my fur-children.

We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She cares for our dogs as if they were her own babies, and that kind of love and attention is priceless. We always come home to happy, well-cared-for pups and a home that is just as clean and tidy as we left it. One of our favorite things is how many updates and photos she sends while we’re away—it brings us so much peace of mind (and joy!) to see how loved and comfortable our dogs are. She is kind, respectful, reliable, and goes above and beyond every single time. We would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!

About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.

This was our first time using rover. We were of course nervous about having someone stay at our house. It turned out to be the best thing we've done for our dogs. Jeremy went above and beyond with everything. If you're worried give it a chance. We highly recommend Jeremy! Thanks again!!

Ashton was great with our two dogs! They warmed up to him almost immediately and he was very thoughtful in their care. He was very responsive and prudent with being on time and keeping them on a schedule. Also left the house exactly how he found it which was a huge relief being able to come home to a clean house! Would absolutely recommend!

About: Experienced husky owner, so lots of fur and energy is not a problem for me. Have had a variety of breeds over the years and love pets of all shapes and sizes. Love caring for and playing with fur babies. One of my huskies was a rescue with severe anxiety around humans, but is wonderful around other animals, so I am good at working with different types of personalities. Our dogs get let out every 2 to 3 hours to potty and run around the yard. We typically feed our dogs in the morning after they have been let out. Then we let them roam the house and play until the end of the day, when they are put into their kennels at night. During the week, our dogs are in the kennel while I am away. Dogs are free to roam my home; ours are kenneled when away for their safety, as they tend to get into things. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs for your dog to play with. I am a rescue mom. I had one fur baby that has very high anxiety around humans and took a lot of patience and support to get him to open up, so I have experience with skittish dogs as well. My schedule allows for plenty of time to visit and enjoy time with your animals.

About: I have had pets in my home my whole life, and I am an avid animal lover! Whenever I was asked what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said veterinarian because that was the only job I knew that worked with them. I have taken care of anything ranging from your typical household pets to reptiles, and even farm animals! I am currently student teaching, so daytime hours may not be the best. But if you’re looking for a night out or getting ready for a weekend trip away, I’m your gal! I respect you, your household, and your pets and will make sure to follow whatever guidelines, schedules, or routines you would like me to follow. I will make sure your pets are safe, loved, and cared for until you return!

About: I have been around cats and dogs all my life. I just love all animals. Dog walking is great for their physical and mental health/improves their joints, and all around good therapy for me and your pet. Play time is also important. I will treat your furry family member with the utmost care & diligence. I am responsible, attentive, & detail oriented and will provide quality services. Currently available during the day. Just about anyday with a little notice. Can set up regular scheduled walk times. Or if you are in a bind, and need, on spur of notice. I am willing to walk from your home, or to a near by park. Giving attention and time. I typically like to know if they have a specific diet, medications, preferences, etc.

Stephanie was amazing with our two very rambunctious dogs. She sent frequent updates and pics and went above and beyond taking care of them and our house. She even had to deal with a leaking sink and made sure all was well. Would recommend her for any services. Came home without any added stress to deal with at our house. Couldn’t have asked for better!

About: I was a professional dog trainer for 8+ years. I also worked at a professional boarding kennel during that time. Now I compete in a variety of dog shows, sport competitions, and have done national commercial work with my dogs. I have worked with and taken care of dogs from newborn to geriatric. Currently I am not taking on any training clients. You can trust your pets stay will be safe and secure with someone who knows how to read even the most subtle body language cues. All dogs must be currently on a flea and tick preventative for in house care. My availability does become more limited in the spring and summer due to competitions. My availability may be more than what’s listed here, please message me to discuss your dates! I work from home 3 days a week which allows me to keep dogs out of crates and play inside or outside in the fenced yard, as well as a 25 minute walk for lunch. I have a fully fenced yard and my own dogs to keep pet sits busy playing! I always have frozen filled kongs or other puzzles for dogs to do for “quiet time” each dog is crated individually for any longer lasting treat.
