Bryant was excellent with my senior dog. He was incredibly experienced in terms of my dog’s specific needs, including diaper changes and being mindful of her dementia traits. He was also very communicative and offered multiple updates throughout the day.

Diana does really well with my dog who is very anxious about meeting new people. She keeps me informed about everything my dog does and takes great pictures of my dog. She is very good at taking instructions and takes great care of my dog.

Shariana took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She was very communicative and checked in regularly. She was super conscientious about our cats’ habits and needs. We felt confident that our cats would be happy and kept good company. She also left our apartment tidy and clean while she stayed at our place. Highly recommend trusting Shariana with your cats/pets.

Asel is fantastic!!! I left my rambunctious golden retriever with her for 8 days at my house and she took phenomenal care of him. She kept me updated throughout the day of cute photos and was a clear and conscientious communicator, which gave me huge peace of mind when I was away. She also was willing to come meet with us before the actual trip to get to know Theo and he took to her immediately. I’ll definitely be using her services again!!

About: I have fostered a 4 month old poodle for 2 months. I’d say I personally have more experience babysitting than pet sitting but that being said, I have a huge heart for nurturing and caring I am currently working a part time job but my work days are only on Thursdays and Fridays in the afternoon so I have a lot of time on my hands! Unfortunately I can not host pet sitting at my home for my land owner doesn’t allow pets inside, but if I were to work at your home, I would act accordingly with respect!

Iris continues to be one of our go-to sitters. Highly communicative with us and gentle with our fuzzy child. I know that she takes great care of him because he's content and calm when we return home. On top of that, Iris housesits our dog and she leaves our home as I would. She is always welcome back!

About: I’ve been taking care of my dog since she was a tiny puppy, and I treat her like my own little child. I do the same for other people’s pets too - I love to give them food, give them some cuddles, and make sure they’re happy. And always remember to give your furry friend a special treat! As a remote worker, I find flexibility in my work schedule. I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine, which allows me to connect with nature and exercise while having the flexibility to do so with my dog. Through play, companionship, and nourishment. Will stay by the dog and keep the place organized and clean so it is a fair space for the house and the dogs

Glad we went with Neil to house sit our Carl! Neil kept Carl fed and walked daily and does a great job of keeping us apprised of the latest on our pup. He also helped with applying topical medication as Carl is having skin issues on the ears. On top of it all, it was a pleasure to return home to a happy pup and a CLEAN apartment. We’d be using Neil again! (Note: Neil is our dog walker as well)

About: As a pet parent for most of my life, I’m passionate about all different animals. While I am a self-proclaimed dog person, I love all pets and consider them family. Because of this, I believe in treating your pets as if they were my own! I have owned dogs for most of my life and have extensive experience in dog care, such as walking, feeding, bathing, and playing. I have helped family members and friends with different services whenever needed, and truly have a passion for spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, and believe every dog deserves kindness regardless of breed. I have taken care of cats before and am also very comfortable with them! I also have my own vehicle, meaning I can transport your pet to any location as needed. I’m comfortable standing, walking, and playing for long amounts of time, as some pets require more energy and attention than others. I’m also very detail-orientated and will follow any instructions as listed by the client, such as for feeding and bathing. I truly enjoy spending time with pets and take pride in carefully caring for them ❤️. My schedule is very flexible, meaning I have time for different pet services throughout the week. I am available most days, and am a stickler for scheduling and being punctual, meaning you never have to worry about mix-ups or last-minute cancellations. My calendar is always freshly updated so that you may know if I’m ever unavailable! I can take care of any pet in a client’s home provided that the client has necessary items, such as food, toys, and a bed/crate. I’ve taken care of pets with both strict and flexible routines, and am comfortable following a schedule or being spontaneous and taking care of a let’s needs as they arise. I’m also comfortable with administering oral medication, as I have experience doing this with my own dog.

I could not be happier with Sara! This was my first time having a non-family member watch my dog while I was out of town and I was so nervous about it. I looked at a lot of options before deciding on Sara and am so glad I did - Sara stayed at my place and with Sasha for two weeks. She took such wonderful careful of Sasha and sent me multiple pictures and updates every day. Sasha clearly loved her and Sara treated her like her own, making me feel so at ease and letting me enjoy my vacation without worrying about her. On top of that, she left my apartment just as clean as I left it. I will definitely be using Sara in the future and am so relieved to have found someone I can trust! Could not recommend Sara more.

Allie was so kind and wonderful with my senior pup, Mr. Billy. She was very thoughtful, cheerful, and Billy appreciated her energy and engagement right away (nuzzling up with a little tail wag). I would highly recommend Allie as a Rover sitter, especially if you have dogs who require medications or have unique needs/quirks. Billy and I are so very grateful for Ms. Allie!

Ellie was absolutely amazing. It was my first time leaving my dogs, and as someone who struggles with anxiety, I was incredibly nervous. From the very beginning, Ellie not only took wonderful care of my dogs but also put my mind at ease. She kept me updated with constant messages and photos, and never once made me feel like I was asking too much. Her patience, kindness, and communication meant the world to me. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Ellie!
