“Patricia took such good care of our girls while we were on vacation! We received daily updates and photos and could tell how comfortable our girls were. We came home to happy girls and our home in good order. We would definitely use Patricia again, it's clear to see our girls love her and were well taken care of.”

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.
“Jules was amazing with our two boxers, Rocky and Tyson. She was extremely attentive, sent us photos and kept us updated throughout the entire stay. The experience made us feel at ease knowing our home and babies were taken care of and in good hands. Will definitely be using Jules again!”

“Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️”
“Kaelin was wonderful with our 3 special needs cats. She sent me updates every day, bonded with our skittish girl, and left the house in good order! We will absolutely be keeping her in mind for future trips!”

Far South pet parents share their Rover experiences
Hannah did an amazing job with our dog Otto. She was communicative, transparent and she really put my mind at ease about leaving him for the week. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust to stay with your pup. We will definitely re-book with her again in the future! Thank you Hannah for your compassion and care for our silly boy!

Ashley took amazing care of our dog and provided us frequent updates and pictures! Our dog was experiencing some health issues and having frequent bathroom accidents so we really appreciated Ashley’s gentleness and patience with her and her availability to work from our home.
