“Lexi was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond. Our dog had an expected health issue before we left and Lexi kept us up to date every day on how she was doing, calibrated to a different diet and some meds needed for the week, and even coordinated with me and the vet regarding a complication that came up from her health issue while we were gone. She clearly has a good pulse on animals and even our vet commented on how on top of things she was. Let this serve as a glowing review, highly highly recommended house/dog/cat sitter, and I hope we have the opportunity to book with her again in the future.”
“Leanne was very patient with Oreo and did a great job with him. He especially enjoyed being wrapped up when he was cold after a walk! She's also very responsive if there is an issue or if you have a question. We really enjoyed working with her and look forward to working with her again.”
“Adam was great with our two dogs! He was very communicative and sent pics of the pups throughout the weekend. We highly recommend him and will definitely ask him if we need a sitter again!”
“Jude was awesome with our three big dogs! I didn’t worry once while she was there and she even left our home cleaner than we left it for her! 11/10 would recommend and book again!”
“Brianna did a great job house sitting and taking care of our Luna. She comforted her during some storms and have her lots of love. She also cleaned the house, washed the bedding and took out the trash. Would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I grew up on a farm, where we had many types of dogs and cats. I always enjoyed playing make believe and veterinarian with the farm animals. They soon became like my own. I have done some dog sitting, most recently with a family members golden doodle. I especially enjoy walking the dog. I currently work full time, though part of the time I work from home. My schedule leaves me with a break during the day, where I could check on the dogs, as well as, time in the evenings! I also have the flexibility to stay in another’s home, to provide more personal care, as long as distance is not a factor. I enjoy walking dogs, and would be happy to do that as needed, for your pet. I also would work hard to be sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, providing them food and water, as scheduled and a safe place to play, or just rest. Again, willing to do this in home or as needed for a drop in!

About: I’ve have been watching friends dogs (2 or 3 at a time) for the last 4 years. I also helped care and walk my sisters dogs when we lived together for 4 years. I am always flexible with the schedule the dog is use to, but I am use to walking dogs in the morning and in the evening. I have a crate if needed. I have a small fenced in yard. No pets currently live in the home. I will care for your pets as you do.
“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”
“Jordan was great with my two dogs, one a 5 month old Dane puppy! She handles them with ease and I felt such reassurance that they were in good hands! Shining recommendations!”

Elm pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leann was great taking care of our dog and cat. She visited twice beforehand to help get our dog acquainted with her. She sent daily updates which were greatly appreciated. Most importantly, I could tell our dog was well taken care of. While she obviously missed us, she didn’t have that extra edge of loneliness from lack of engagement.
