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!

We used Caitlyn when we took a short vacation. She was fantastic. Came in and did the job while taking pictures and playing with our little fur baby all the while. Will definitely use her again.

We are so thankful for David taking care of our animals! Knowing he would be there daily to make sure they were taken care of and didn’t have to be boarded was such a relief.

My sweeties were so happy to see me home. It was nice to come home not worried that they had been take care of. Brittany kept me up to date with how they were. It was a good experience with Rover! Know my pups were glad to be at home with Brittany.It will be my last option in the future due to prices. Family and friends will always be my best bet. But I’m glad Brittany worked me in at the last moment. Thanks wonderful friend ???

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!!

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: 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: 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 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.

About: As someone who has had pets in the home for as long as I can remember, I know it is important for them to be in a loving, patient, and attentive environment and I thrive in providing environments that are such! I work from home and I’m a SAHM, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in backyard and only two cats inside the home. I make sure that the pets that I care for have enough space of their own but are also attended to closely.
