Amy is absolutely wonderful. This was my second time booking her, and she takes such great care of my babies. I even made a mistake with my booking, and she was incredibly kind and understanding while helping me fix it. She always makes sure my little ones get treats, pets, and playtime, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about them. I’m so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.

Mary was absolutely wonderful! She was super flexible and easy to work with while we were out of town. She kept our cat, Kimmie, company and made sure everything was taken care of perfectly. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Kimmie was in such great hands. Highly recommend her and will definitely book again!

I am so happy I found Trish on Rover! I had used a few other sitters from the site before but was never really happy with them until I met Trish! She is very responsive when you book and eager to get the ball rolling! From our first encounter at the meet n greet, I knew I had found a sitter that would do what I requested for my fur baby! Trish was happy to accommodate my requests and let me know when she was on the way to check in on my cat. She sent videos and photos of my baby and assured me she was doing well! She updated me on what she did during her visits and asked if I she could do anything else for me while she was there. She loves animals, and you can tell! My cat usually hides under the bed with other sitters, but with Trish, she was out n about more, and it made me happy that my cat liked her! Trish is friendly, outgoing, and dependable. She is my go-to sitter from now on!!

About: Currently I have 2 cats, both of which have lived with me for almost 10 years (they have traveled with me abroad when I moved) and 1 of them needs medications regularly. I also love dogs but since I live in a small apartment can’t have them. When I was younger and lived in my parents house we did have dogs, so I also know how to care for them. I’ve always loved animals and am looking forward to taking care of yours :) I work full time from Monday through Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm. I am available anytime besides these and complete free on weekends. I will be very happy to go to your home and provide your pets with care and company as needed. I will follow the instructions you give me in regards to any special needs they would have or any specific activities we would need to do.

Vicky did a wonderful job for us. Our dog is older and does not like being boarded. Vicky walked and fed him for several days while we were at the beach and she even had to overcome adversity - a snake on our front porch one day ! I would definitely recommend Vicky !!!

About: My name is Lori, and I was raised in a family that included pets, such as an indoor Shih Tzu and an outdoor Chow. As a kid, I was given the responsibility of taking care of those pets. As an adult, I have experience owning two goldendoodles and currently have a miniature poodle, and I have successfully crate trained and house trained all three. Due to my full-time work-from-home job, I can accommodate the pups' needs by taking them out to our securely fenced yard for at least two 15-minute breaks. Moreover, they will have the opportunity to venture outdoors during my hour-long lunch break. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly pup that will help keep your pup company as well. I can crate your pup if needed. I can also crate train your pup if you’d like. I do not have professional experience, but I do have personal experience and was successful with three dogs. Depending on your pet, they may need to be crated during the hours of 8am to 5pm, Monday through Friday while at my home. But we can discuss if that’s necessary or not. I work from home taking calls from patients all day long, and it has to be quiet in my office. My own pup stays in my office with me because he does not bark.
