Acacia was a wonderful pet sitter to my two small dogs. They warmed up to her instantly and felt very safe with her. She was kind enough to update me everyday with how the dogs were doing and pictures as well:) I felt very relaxed knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend her!

SO happy & pleased with how Megan & Lucky treated our precious Wilson and home. We feel so lucky to have found them. They left our home in tip-top shape and Wilson was as happy as can be :) Seriously impressed!

Nina provided attentive care to our two dogs in our home. She provided daily check-ins that gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our 8 days away. She left our house clean and the dogs extremely happy!

We had Alex for a short overnight stay and she was great! She provided us with updates throughout the day… we had no worries while we were away, knowing our dog was being well taken care of. We would love to have Alex again sometime!

Magen watched our chocolate lab at our house for 9 days. She was amazing! Pros: She followed our dogs usual schedule so that he was in his comfort zone while we were gone. Left our house super clean after (even though we didn't expect that). Gave us daily updates on what they did throughout the day with a few pictures. Super flexible with us when our flight got delayed 6 hours and we were in Europe trying to schedule our way back. We will definitely be using Megan's services more often now and we had a fantastic vacation not having to worry about leaving our pups.

Caitlin was wonderful watching my dogs this past weekend. This is my first experience with Rover. She was highly responsive with communication. She came over to my house in advance to meet the dogs in order to ensure a smooth transition, especially given my dogs protective nature. She also walked me through the process and expectations, not having used Rover previously. My dogs took well to her and that was most important! I would absolutely book with her again.

Catherine did an EXCELLENT job for our kitties while we were away! She clearly cared to learn each of their personalities, and clearly loved them up as much as I could hope for. She sent great updates, awesome photos, and was sure to follow our directions really carefully - we have one who is a trouble maker, so glad that I didn't have to worry at all! I would absolutely recommend Catherine to sit for your kitties.

About: I have pet sat for family members and friends. I also have worked at Wag’n Wash and have a lot of experience with all different types of breeds and temperaments. I know how to properly handle and deal with most if not all situations. I am home for the summer from college in the middle of May, and after I’m home I will be free most of the week with some errands and stuff I have to do in between some days. So I will be able to house sit during the week or just take them on walks or check up on them, depending on what the client wants to do. I work weekends but am able to take breaks and stop by the house if needed. I will insure all the care is specialized to each animal and what service I provide for them. With each pet I will come up with a specific care plan for them and review it with the owner to insure they get a say in what happened while they are gone.

I had a last minute need. Sky responded quickly and came to meet my dogs and myself on short notice. Her quick response and great personality eased my mind! She was great with the dogs, very honest about when she might need to be away during her stay. Her communication and dog sitting expertise were wonderful, I’d definitely book with her again. Thanks Sky!

About: I have taken care of family/friends/other people’s pets since I was 13. I can feed, let out, walk, and provide enrichment/care for animals. I also have experience with administering medication to animals as well. I am a college student on break for the summer, so my availability is pretty open! I am available both weeks and weekends for most of the summer. I will care for your pets as if they were my own (I love my dogs)! I want to ensure that your pet feels safe and comfortable in my care, while also respecting your rules, such as keeping fence gates shut or crating pets when I am not there.
