Deloris did an amazing job house sitting and taking care of Holly! From the start, communication was great, and we felt completely at ease leaving Holly (and our home) in her care. She kept us updated with regular check-ins and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

I was really pleased with Ty and Charlie. Their setup worked extremely well for our very Velcro-needy guy. I was initially a little hesitant about having two people watching him, simply because we’d never had a couple before, but if you’re on the fence like I was, don’t pass them up — it worked perfectly for us. They arrived on time for both the meet-and-greet and the sitting job, and they checked in to confirm the times I had listed before coming and when they were scheduled to leave. Our guy is very routine-oriented, and they followed my detailed instructions (yes, I’m that parent!) to a tee — including giving his meds on time, which was huge for us since some past sitters have struggled with that. I truly couldn’t have asked for better sitters; they’re probably my favorite so far. I’ll absolutely continue to use them and am already working to see if they’re available to sit for us again. I would definitely recommend them to others. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!

Andrea took such amazing care of our elderly dog. Our dog gets anxious, and needed to remain in our home while we were away, to lessen her stress levels. Andrea provided such quality care. Not only did she sent me frequent updates, she reassured me that our dog was doing really well. And she was! We’re truly thankful for Andrea’s wonderful care, and will definitely be booking with her again.

Zamiya was absolutely outstanding, very communicative and took wonderful care of my fur baby. I will definitely book with her again!!! I never had to wonder how my baby was doing because she kept me updated with pics and videos which I loved because I didn't have to reach out to see how he was doing. I already knew!!

Paige was amazing with our dogs! She sent us tons of pictures and was in communication with us the entire time she was with our pups. Paige could definitely tell how nervous I was to leave my pups with someone new and she helped ease my fears through this whole process. She was a respectful house guest and left our home neat and tidy. My pups love her and so do we. Will be booking all my future Rovers with her!!

About: I have taken care of many different dogs in my neighborhood for over 5 years. I have experience with small, medium, and large dogs, as well as multiple dogs at a time. I also live with several pets at home, including a dog and two guinea pigs. I am able to take care of pets any time during the week over the summer. I will be away at university starting in August. I make sure that dogs in my care are given at least two walks a day, as well as exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I also adapt my care to each dog's needs and owner requests.

William was fantastic! He was super responsive, communicative, and immediately put us at ease during our first experience using an overnight sitter. Our dogs can be pretty standoffish with new people, but they took to him right away — which says a lot. Even our cat loved him! It was clear our pets were comfortable, well cared for, and happy while we were away. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to William again in the future

About: Hello, my name is Chase, I am a very active dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own, one German Shepard & one Lab Mix. I love to play with my dogs every day and they take walks every day as well. I like to be outdoors a lot and can take a short walk or a long walk, whatever the preference the client may want. I work full time but am always off by noon so my schedule is always flexible. I like to keep busy, and what better way then to do so by caring for pets! I hope to be your choice for pet care. Schedule: I have a flexible schedule and can be available after 1pm almost every day for dog walking. Stays: I can be available before and after work to tend to your animal! I currently work full-time. But am always flexible to care for pets any time after 1PM. Whether it be a short or long walk, or a stay over job, I am flexible in these areas. I have a fenced in yard at my house and my dogs also free roam in our front yard and are trained to stay in our front yard. I have watched many dogs in the past and always treat dogs as if they are my own.

Will took amazing care of our pup, Finley, over the holiday weekend and made the entire experience completely stress-free. He was communicative, flexible, attentive, and clearly genuine in the way he cared for Finley, treating him with so much love and patience. We really appreciated the consistent updates and coming home to both a happy dog and a clean house. Will went above and beyond in every way, and we would gladly trust him again for any future sitting needs. Thank you once again, Will!

Taylor did a great job house sitting for our energetic puppy and 3 cats. She was reliable, responsive, and took great care of our house and pets. She even taught our puppy to sit while we were away! Our pup is still working on potty training and Taylor was up to the challenge and cleaned up her accidents without an issue. I would definitely recommend Taylor for house sitting and plan to rebook with her in the future!

Our family is so thankful for Noe and the way he cared for Max and Holly while we were away. From the very start, he was warm, professional, and dependable, which gave us complete peace of mind. Noe made sure both dogs felt comfortable and loved, and he handled their different needs with so much patience and attention. Max requires a little extra care, and Noe took the time to make sure his routine was followed, while also giving Holly plenty of playtime and affection. We received regular updates and could see how happy and relaxed they both were in his care. It meant the world to our family knowing that Max and Holly were safe and cared for like they were his own. We would absolutely recommend Noe to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter. We’ll definitely be booking with him again!

John Paul did an absolutely fantastic job taking care of our fur babies and ensuring our house was still standing during our time away. He was very attentive to our pets needs, followed every instruction, and sent us frequent photos of our fur kids to let us know how well everything was going! We cannot wait to ask for his assistance again in the future, and we know our little guys will be super excited to have him back anytime!
