Truett loves Catherine! She was very responsive, timely, and loved on him during drop ins ! She came in when we lost our reoccurring sitter unexpectedly and she was flexible and quick to step in. So grateful for her! 10/10!

Sarah is an absolute dream come true, I am so glad I found her! She was so good with my dog, and so accommodating with a last-minute change of plans in my needs. I will be using her again (and again and again) and highly recommend her to anyone else.

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 !!!

David was great! I forgot to put water out for my dog before rushing out for the day, and he kindly came to my house to make sure he had water. He responded super quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I’ve always had a deep love for animals, especially after caring for my senior pup in their final years. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I now enjoy caring for all pets (except snakes!) and I’m happy to match their energy with walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Whether your pet needs a calm, gentle environment or an active companion, I’ll treat them like my own and keep you updated every step of the way. I work full time but I usually have a few days off during the week/weekend. I’m always looking for a way to stay active each week. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room. I’m respectful of other peoples homes and will always leave them better than I found them.

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: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Caring for animals has been my life long ambition. I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your fur babies. My fiancé And I love training and exercising with them every day and they push us to be the best we can be. They bring so much joy and happiness to our life. I have 5 years experience pet sitting for friends and family as well. They are the support system that told me about this app. Work from home but it’s not very demanding. Extremely flexible schedule. Pets need routines just as much as humans do for a sense of calm and safety. To continue to keep your (our) fur baby safe I will keep trash cans covered or inside a latched cabinet. Move all chemicals to high shelves or behind secure doors. Keep cords, chargers, and other potentially harmful items out of reach.

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years, including a chihuahua of my own and my family’s dogs. I have experience raising puppies and caring for senior dogs as well. Even though every dog is different, I am able to provide adequate care and attention to every fur baby that I have the privilege of looking after. I am currently a student and have plenty of down time when I am not at school. This includes Fridays and Weekends and I can be pretty flexible with time! I keep frequent communication with pet owners, I’m able to accommodate to a dog needs, and am pretty knowledgeable about dog behavior to know their needs.

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.

About: I have experience caring for my now senior cat and my Chihuahua. As someone who loves animals, I enjoy offering attentive and loving care to furry companions! I am a current full-time doctoral student at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. As a student, I can easily work around my weekday schedule to incorporate pet care. I am also open to overnight pet sitting if requested. When caring for your pets in your home, I will ensure they are watched after and will provide them with affection and attention. I can walk your dog(s) around your neighborhood if the weather permits and will ensure that they are let outside to use the restroom throughout the day. For owners who use potty pads for dogs or litter boxes for cats, I have experience cleaning up after both and will ensure this is taken care of.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I currently have two rescue pups of my own. I totally understand each baby has unique needs to live their own best life. I work at an elementary school and am off each day by 3:30 and don’t work weekends so I can spend afternoons and weekends caring for your babies. I also live directly next to a dog park and am happy to take them for an afternoon play! I have spent many years pet sitting in other people’s homes and am used to all different living situations for animals. I have crate trained my own dogs so can assist with that process, as well as take your baby on familiar walks and play time.
