Chelsea is a gem. She went above and beyond to care for Cooper who had a reaction to pain medicine he started a few days before we left him. She nursed him back to health, and kept me in the loop along the way. It is comforting to know our sweet boy is safe, happy, and well cared for while we are away.

This was our first time using Rover and Lydia made it such an easy and wonderful experience for us. We came home to a clean house and very happy pups! We have issued other pet sitting services before but we’ll for sure be using Rover, and hopefully, Lydia again.

Mary was so wonderful with my boys! They can be timid and feisty and loud. This did not deter her and she handled it with ease! Better yet, she was so accommodating with a last minute request. I was able to enjoy myself knowing she was there. I will be using her for my future sitting needs!

Lisa you are amazing! You exceeded all of our expectations. We didn’t worry about our dogs once while we were gone. We loved getting daily reports and cute pics. Thanks for being flexible when our flight changed and for taking great care of our home and plants as well:) You feel like a part of our family!

My nervous dog quickly got comfortable with Nancy. She kept me updated on how they enjoyed a car ride, a movie and some nice walks around the lake. Would highly recommend Nancy!

About: Are you looking for someone to love your animals just as much as you do? Do you need flexible hours, and personalized care? Then I’m your girl! My name is Alexis S. I currently have 4 dogs, a cat, and 2 goats. I have been around animals my whole life and love to spoil them! I have experience with all breeds, all ages, and all tempers/ personalities. We can take walks, play fetch, or just hangout; whatever makes your dog happiest! I can also pet sit for cats, and other species of animals, communication with animals is key! Hi I’m currently a SAHM and love getting out and about to see your pet! If you need a drop in or a walk I’m your girl! I’m great with walking dogs or letting them out in your fenced in yard to go potty and play. We can cuddle up for some company while you’re away or take the ball outside and play fetch whatever your pet prefers!

This was our first time using Rover, and Cole put us right at ease right from the start. He came for a meet and greet before us officially booking, which was great so we could all meet ahead of time to see if it was a good fit. We felt really comfortable with him, so we decided to move forward with house sitting the pups for the weekend. Cole stayed in constant contact throughout the whole process, even sending us pics, which I loved :). He played ball with them, their favorite past time, and fit right into their daily schedule, even letting them hop on the bed with him at night like they do with us. He also kept the house neat, which I felt was an added bonus. Our goal is to form a long-term relationship with someone, and we feel that Cole is just that person. Thanks for taking such good care of our fur babies! :)
