“Berenice had great communication and was able to take a last minute l booking. She was also able to adjust the time she came. We appreciated her flexibility and attentiveness!”
“Courtney is awesome!!! My beagle looks forward to her morning with her and they have a great time together!! Initially started with coverage during a hospital stay and turned into a regular routine!! Thank you so much Courtney!”
“Devon did a great job dropping in on our dogs while we were on vacation. They had very good communication, promptness, and even though our pups can be a handful Devon had no problem taking care of them.”
“Elaine did a wonderful job caring for our pets. Our cat has a lot of extra needs and she was very patient with him. She even spent extra time snuggling with him while we were away. We came home to a clean house and well-cared for animals. We'd definitely recommend!”
“Lisa is great! She met with Penelope before her first visit to get to know her. She was patient with her and took things slow. Everything went great!”
“Rebecca always takes excellent care of my dog, Opal! However, this visit in particular, she went completely above and beyond: First, by checking in ahead of her visit to see if my dog required any special care with the very cold weather when she stopped in. And, when she came to visit, she noticed Opal‘s paw was bleeding and administered first aid on the spot. She also offered to stop in later after her first visit and when she checked on Opal then, she cleaned the wound and bandaged it up for her. I am very lucky to have had Rebecca with Opal today and would highly recommend her for your dog(s) as well.”
“Elizabeth was wonderful with Miley! She’s very attentive and left me great notes.”
“MacKenna is fabulous! She sent detailed updates, lots of pictures, and really spent time with our two cats to give them love while we were away for a week. Would highly recommend!”
“Angela is the best! My main priority with a sitter is someone who will give my cats attention to alleviate some of their stress and separation anxiety which I communicate to every sitter. In the past even when I have spent the extra money for someone to stay 60 minutes they have only stayed maybe 10 to clean the litter box then leave before even acknowledging my cats. Angela stayed the full time and gave them lots of attention and play time:) She was very thorough and made sure she had all the information she needed. You can tell she’s a genuine person who truly cares about animals. She was also super accommodating when my other sitter fell through the night before I left. She even facilitated me interrupting her pedicure on her birthday so I could get my keys to her! I’m so glad I found her and I will definitely be using her again!!”
“My cats, particularly Simba was very happy with Alexy and Dylan. I appreciate all the pictures they sent, and how they communicated. We had a little communication trouble at the beginning but it was all solved right away. Leaving instructions I believe helped as they have several clients. They were always on time and did what I asked for. The box, the dishes, and everything was perfect when we arrived. We would book Alexy and Dylan again.”
“Liliya is great! I was setting up cat sitting for my relatives during a family emergency and from several states away, and she was so helpful and accommodating!”
“Second time using Jill as our pet sitter. She was great with our kitty!”
“Reilly did an amazing job watching our cat Marvin while we were out of the country. She was very responsive, and sent frequent updates and photos/videos during her visits. It was really great not having to worry about Marvin while we were gone, knowing he was in good hands with Reilly! I'd highly recommend Reilly to anyone here on Rover!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was little, I have a cat of my own now, dog sit for my friends all of the time and I’m always the first person to offer to take a friends dog on a walk! I love animals, especially cats and dogs, as they are good for my mental health (: I work part time and I make my own schedule for my other job, but I need things to fill up the rest of my free time and get me out of the house! I’d protect any animal with my whole body, but especially your beloved fur baby. I am very empathic and will gladly cater to any needs the sweet baby has.
About: I’m an experienced professional that’s easy to communicate with and respectful of your home. I travel often and know what it’s like to leave your pet at home. I leave homes clean and ensure your little creatures feel safe and calm. I especially love cats of all ages. Because my work schedule is part-time and varies, I'm able to offer pet care at almost any time! Whether you need daytime walks, evening feeding, or weekend visits, I'm happy to help. Just let me know your pet's routine and we'll find a perfect fit. I provide pet care in your home with a focus on their comfort and well-being. I maintain a clean and tidy environment and adhere to their established routines, minimizing stress and ensuring they feel safe and secure.
“Adelle was truly amazing! She has incredible communication, and is very thorough. She made every effort to make sure my kitties felt comfortable with her while I was away. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“My dog adores Blythe ever since his first stay with her! She is super flexible and gives lots of updates. She’s my new first choice of dog sitter!”
“Crystal is the most professional and attentive sitter I’ve ever had! She can handle all special needs and routines. She really cares and goes above and beyond. I also appreciated the detailed updates- absolutely recommend!”
About: Pets gravitate towards my calm demeanor. I have had my own dog for 6 years and have trained her to be well mannered and loyal. I have taken care of other pets in past past - both dogs & cats. I have experience providing oral medication to pets as well. I am a teacher and would have evenings and weekends free during the school year. Come summer, my schedule is wide open for 4 legged friends. I cannot wait to walk, play, feed and care for pets. I have my own dog who I can walk alongside your dog / provide a friend or socialization with if that is of interest. I am happy to crate your dog if wanted. I can provide approved snacks and many pets!
About: I have cared for and raised a number of pets over the years. Would love to be able to care for yours. Very loving home. I am self employed and able to make my own hours. I would be able to give your pet all the time and attention he/she needs. I would care for only one dog at a time so I can give them my sole attention. I do have a 8 year old cat but he has been raised around dogs his whole life. I lost my 12 year old Doberman back in April of last year. I cared for him from pup on up to his very last days. I am very patient and loving with animals as I have always had a pet in my home. I love going on walks and live close to the lake which has wonderful walking trails. Your pet would get plenty of love, attention and exercise 😊
