Lauren is beyond wonderful. My three furry friends LOVED her and she loved them. She was so good about providing me updates with each feeding and at bedtime minimum including photos and videos. I did not worry one bit about them for the almost three weeks I was gone. The house was in perfect condition when I came home as well. I highly recommend her and already have her booked for two more trips.

Great cat sitting service from Emma, she stayed in our home with our multiple cats. They were happy and content when we got home, and the house was clean and fresh in tip top shape!

Madelyn home sat our two puppies while we were in Europe for 2 weeks. She communicated well and ensured our dogs and home were kept safe. I would highly recommend her and will be booking with her in the future. Thanks Madelyn!

About: I grew up with pets in the house all of my life! I spent a couple months without them when I went to college but quickly realized how much I missed their presence. I volunteered at a rescue center and soon adopted my first cat as an adult and named him rocky raccoon after the Beatles song. He's getting old now but has two little brothers to keep im active. I have been cat/dog/house sitting for three clients for almost four years now and decided to join rover too! I have experience giving elderly pets meds and special food requirements. Im pretty flexible, just let me know what they need! I work during the week sometimes up to 9 hours but can provide pet care in the evenings and even over night during the week! Im available all day, any day on the weekends I am flexible to your needs! Many of my clients have pets with special requirements or needs and I am willing to help in any way I can.

Alexa was amazing and took great care of our puppy and our home while we were out of state for 7 days. Even during a tough night when our puppy was up every 1–2 hours, she stayed positive and reassuring. She made us feel completely comfortable the entire time we were away, and we would absolutely trust her to watch our puppy again.

Amber was so accommodating and flexible with us and our changing schedule. We got photos and videos and through those it was obvious that our dog, Cain was comfortable with her and having fun! I felt so at ease knowing he was in good care. When we first met she asked so many thoughtful questions that left me feeling that this was a good match for us. Would recommend and would definitely reach out to Amber again.

Brooke was an exceptional dog sitter. We have a giant 2 year old, attention seeking puppy, and Brooke went above and beyond to care for him. She not only took amazing care of our puppy, but she also left our house neat and tidy. She arrived on time and was very thorough with all of the details. We will definitely ask Brooke back to our home to care for our boy.

We had a wonderful experience with Enrique! From the start, his communication was excellent. He was quick to respond, clear with details, and kept us updated throughout the stay. He arrived exactly when he said he would and made sure our two dogs felt comfortable. We really appreciated the photo updates. It was so nice to see our dogs happy and relaxed while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

We’ve got a long list of all the things we loved and appreciated about Jo during her stay with our fur baby. We truly couldn’t feel luckier that we connected with her! Our Brighton can be a bit of a handful but Jo’s confidence, kindness, knowledge, and the genuine excitement she showed made me KNOW that our girl was in the best of hands. Throughout her stay she provided great “pup-dates” with professional quality photos of what they were up to. She also helped out with some tasks around our house which was not expected but incredibly appreciated. We came home to a clean and tidy home and a very thoughtful thank you note with a super cute Polaroid photo. She thanked us but really we owe her all the thanks!! Would love to have her sit for us again in the future. Thanks, Jo!

Took great care of my dogs while I got to see some of downtown jackson hole. Dogs got to explore the top of the mountain, killed their energy so they could relax the rest of day. Dogs loved hanging out with her.
