About: I CANT GO ON VACATION WITHOUT SEEING PHOTOS AND VIDEOS OF MY ANIMALS SO YOU SHOULDN'T EITHER! I will happily send you lots of videos and pictures of your animals throughout my time with your animals. I love to see all the different quirks that’s make them who they are and want you to know they are healthy and happy to ease any worries while you’re away. ABOUT ME: I've owned and taken care of dogs since I was born. I cannot remember a time there weren't at least 2 in our house at a time. I currently own two pitbulls I got in college and love them like children. Would love the opportunity to love on your pups! I have experience in all types of situations with dogs and will make sure to ask any questions in order to respect your home and animals as everyone is different. VERY FLEXIBLE: I am available for your animals when needed. Very flexible with my daily hours. For stays - I am flexible and work from home. Just need wifi to be provided and will be able to attend to your pets. I want to follow any schedule and rules you have implemented to keep consistency and eliminate as much anxiety for you and your animals as possible. I realize it’s not easy to leave your pets so I will make sure to keep you updated and send photos as much as you’d like. I like to over communicate and ask questions before doing things in your home or with your animals in order to respect both and keep the trust you have given me.

“Dawn is amazing! Our formal introduction was at a local coffee shop and it was immediate she was PURRFECT to take care of my not-to-social indoor cat. We passed by my house to introduce her to Tuxie (my cat) and I was surprised Tuxie responded to Dawn. While I was away, Dawn sent me pictures, which makes me at ease. Highly recommend and I’ve already booked her again! ???”
“Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind.

“Taylor went above and beyond! She is super communicative and responds quickly, and helped me out with some tasks around the house, including communicating with FPL! My cat has been in a bit of a shy period but she seems to have become very comfortable with Taylor, and Taylor sent me the cute pics to prove it! Thank you so much!”

“Aileen provided exceptional service attending to Phelps while I was away for 10 days. She was always prompt and courteous. I felt comfortable with giving her access to my home and everything was as I left it. I will definitely use her services again.”

“Caroline rescued us and dogsat our 2 senior boxers when our originally scheduled sitter had to suddenly cancel. She was very flexible and quick in responding when we only had about 24hrs before we had to leave.

When we got back, she had left our place spotless and even stripped the sheets. I would definitely recommend Caroline!”

Lucy went ABOVE and BEYOND by miles to take care of my new kitten. She is kind, gentle, and truly connects with animals on a different level. My shy kitten loved spending every moment with Lucy, and she went out of her way to coordinate meeting him, getting logistics out of the way ahead of time, and spending every second she could trying to take the best care of my little guy. I would only use her going forward and recommend her to anyone who wants a caring soul to take care of their furry loved one. She was responsive, had meticulous detail, and I trust her implicitly just after one weekend. She even went to far as to have a little photo shoot with my kitten and left me a sweet handwritten note with Polaroids of him to come home to. Thank you Lucy, I am so grateful!
Robin did a fantastic job! She kept our cats happy and well cared for while we were away. She's reliable, responsive, and stays connected with lots of updates, which gave us real peace of mind. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping with a leaking A/C issue—something we truly appreciated. Highly recommend Robin for anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Heather is absolutely attentive, professional and reliable. She has a way with my dog. It must be because she has so much dog experience, is so caring, and has a background in healthcare. I know I can rely on her. She sends the best videos and pictures. I hope we continue to work together for a long time!
Hooray! Successful visit with my girl. She’s a little skittish around new people so I was so relieved Kevin was available for a visit/walk while I was tied up with appointments all day. I made it back and all was well and my favorite creature was happy. Great communicator and even sent pics that helped me feel at ease during a pretty stressful day.
This is the second time that I’ve used Camilla from Rover to watch my babies and once again, she did a fabulous job. She was even willing to help out when my flight got canceled until the next day. My pets were well taken care of, I received a report card with pictures after every visit and I came home to happy pets. Thank you until next time….
I can't recommend enough! They were absolutely amazing—super communicative, responsive, and always available when I needed an update or had a question. They took such great care of my French bulldog, going above and beyond to make sure both of us felt totally at ease while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind knowing my girl was in such capable and caring hands. Highly, highly recommend! Thank you both!!!🙏🏻
