Miriam did a fantastic job taking care of goose and Delta. She was reliable, on time, and fantastic with communication. Set my mind at ease while I was away! I would happily refer her to anyone who needs a dog or pet sitter and will definitely be using her again!

Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.

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.

I honestly don’t know where to start when it comes to Ms. Pat. She’s amazing on so many levels that I could actually write paragraphs about her. At this point she feels like family. To say I trust her with my babies and in my home is an understatement. She treats my dogs so good that when I come home after she’s been there I feel they have higher expectations from me 😂 She also makes sure the cats indoor and outdoor have food and water, and if the kitty’s make a mess with the water she cleans up. My little Rocky is unfortunately in a phase of marking and she also cleans up when/if he does that. She picks up my mail, and she’s even brought a piece of wood over to block the bottom of my fence where my pup tries to get under to the neighbors yard and play with a big dog that could probably swallow him in one bite. She’s purchased treats not only for the pups but left me a full bag of skittles because she saw o had a jar on my counter. She sends so many pics and her updates are so detailed. She’s even printed off some of the photos for me and that’s not all.. she purchased two gold frames to match my decor for me to put them in. She comes when she says she will and she spends quality time with them. At this point I feel like she’s grandmothered in .. literally she cares for my babies like she’s a proud aunt or G-ma. I would 10 out of 10 recommend (even though I really don’t want to share because if she’s ever not available I probably wouldn’t hire anyone else on Rover) I had a bad experience last year and almost wrote Rover off as a never again. Ms. Pat has changed that for us.

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!

My pups had a great day with Nicole! I had a long day out of town - too long for my dogs to be alone all day. Nicole spent time playing with and loving on them. They’ve been snooza poloza since I got home! Nicole’s interactions with both of my dogs - even anxious Dexter - meant I could spend the day away with confidence because she’s so great with them. Thank you!

Madison was great! She took care of our dog, rabbit, and fish tanks for a week in our home and everything was in perfect shape when we came back. We got daily updates and photos of the animals and they all looked like they were having a great time. We will definitely have Madison back!

Our pup and kitty LOVE Kaelin!! We’ve had her pet sit for the past 2 Christmas breaks and she’s been wonderful. Our dog is very high maintenance (kidney issues, IBS, and he’s blind) and it’s such a relief knowing he’s well taken care of while we’re away.

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 ❤️

Kaci was great! My dogs loved her, and my two cats that don’t normally like each other cuddled up on her lap together. 🥺 so she definitely brings along good vibes. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and kept me updated with their care. Absolutely will ask her to watch them again.

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!
