We had a wonderful, stress-free experience with Samantha during her week-long stay in our home. She took great care of our dog and he was completely himself when we returned. Our home was also well cared for and very clean when we returned. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages, and we had peace of mind while traveling. Samantha is reliable, trustworthy, friendly, and professional. We would absolutely book her again!

Keira was great with our old pup Toby while we were out of town. She was knowledgeable about care and Toby was in great hands. She gave updates and photos throughout the stay.

Tabitha is WONDERFUL! My dog is very emotionally needy (has anxiety), and I needed a sitter very last minute. Tabitha came to the rescue and was so attentive with Franny and did such a good job with her! I really trust her and i can’t wait to use her again 🙂

Keira has always taken excellent care of our two kitties, and after we lost one of them earlier this year, this is the first time we’ve asked her to house sit and stay over (we worry our one will now get lonely) and per usual she was amazing and took amazing care of our boy.

Aryanna took wonderful care of our two kitty boys for a week! They were very happy when we arrived home and we know they were happy while we were gone with the pictures that were taken! Also Aryanna checked in daily with us to let us know everything was going well. The apartment looks the same as we left it, the trash was taken out, and packages were brought up without even asking! If you need a pet sitter Aryanna is the way to go!

Abby is calm and Bailey is very comfortable with her. She gives him rest time and playtime, and he was sad when she left. He was very excited when she arrived and barked like crazy, but soon settled down. I’m very happy that I can leave the house knowing Bailey is in good hands with Abby.

Just wow. Emily stayed at our home for a little over a week and cared for dog like he was her own. Our dog is anxious and has leash reactivity as well as some long term health issues. She was knowledgeable in handling him and managed his daily med administrations. Emily also went above and beyond by doing two in-person meet ups to get acquainted with Bouldin, snuggled with him, and bathed him prior to our return. We will be a customer of Emily's for as long as she will have us. Light years better than any dog resort/boarding facility.

Sarah was great staying with our two dogs while we were out of town -- we loved getting daily updates + photos, and it was clear from the pictures that our dogs were obsessed with her too. The house was in great shape when we got home and we were so pleased to know our pups were well cared for while we were away.

Kerry is just wonderful. She house sat my dog for 2 nights and she was a pleasure to work with. She updated me through out the day, kept the house clean, and definitely a 5 star dog sitter. If she can take care of dog, she can care for any dog.

She also sent lots of pics, which we loved. We can’t recommend Jamie enough! Looking forward to many future bookings with her.

This review is a little late - but better late than never. Jason house/pet sat for us over the Christmas holiday and was great. From the first meet and greet with the dogs, who would normally bark and jump, his calming presence was amazing. They did not jump, a little barking but he walked in said hi to both by name and that was it. He took great care of our 2 dogs, 2 turtles and 2 fish as well as brining in mail, packages, etc. I would highly recommend Jason and hopefully will have the pleasure of booking with him again in 2022.

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk, extra playtime, or a little patience and encouragement, I’m happy to provide attentive care and regular updates so you can have peace of mind. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and bathroom breaks while making sure each pet receives the attention and care they need. I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative so pet parents always know their furry family member is in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and walking preferences. During walks, I remain attentive to my surroundings and keep pets securely leashed unless otherwise instructed in a safe, enclosed area. In your home, I will respect your space, maintain your pet’s routine, and provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving excellent care while you’re away.

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for many years. While growing up, I lived with my aunt, who had a Maltese that I helped care for daily. Through that experience, I learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing companionship, and understanding a dog's unique personality and needs. Although I currently own a cat due to my full-time work schedule, I have always enjoyed being around dogs and helping care for them. I am comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I will treat your dog with the same kindness, patience, and attention that I would give my own pet. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I have successfully cared for pets during my lunch breaks by stopping in for feeding, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. After 5:00 PM, I am available for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime as needed. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and am available throughout the day to provide attentive care and spend quality time with pets. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine, and I strive to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic care, and giving them attention and companionship. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are doing well. Although I primarily offer care in my clients' homes, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy levels, and any special instructions to ensure they remain happy, safe, and comfortable. My goal is to provide reliable, loving care while respecting both the pet's routine and the client's home.

Liz and Rich took amazing care of our recently adopted dog and our 2 cats. We came home to pets who were calm and happy and interactive - even our shy cat. To me, this is what it's all about, knowing your pets were well cared for and given lots of love. Will definitely use them again!

Tabitha was so great with our dog! We have a very nervous and anxious little guy who doesn’t like strangers and she put him right at ease and he was cuddling with her all weekend. Tabitha also kept our home very clean. Would definitely recommend Tabitha for pet sitting!

Nahomy and Lisabeth and their lovely little dog Basil are such a wonderful family! My little puppy is a lot and she was having some tummy issues and Nahomy very patiently answered all of my anxious texts and sent me cute pictures and updates when I was worried. They all really went out of their way to help me so I could go to work and took such sweet and amazing care of little Edie. Cannot say enough good things about them, I am so grateful!

This is the first time I used Rover. Would definitely use Kerry’s services again. My boys were happy and content when I returned home. So much better than taking them to a kennel for boarding. She kept us updated on their status and sent a lot of pictures.
