Tatum was a phenomenal cat sitter for our sweet kitten! She sent frequent updates, obviously played with him lots and brought over more toys, snuggled with him, and went above and beyond to make sure he had as much companionship as possible. We are thrilled we connected with her and hope we can have her watch Gus again!

Our experience with Leesa was fantastic. Leesa proved to be a conscientious and detail-oriented sitter. Before our engagement even began, Leesa asked to come to our house to meet our dogs so she could get an understanding of their behavior and daily routine. She was attentive and receptive to all the nuances that go into their daily routine and she was also very careful to always ask questions and permission if there was something she wanted to do (e.g., prepare home-cooked doggy treats). Leesa was also very keen to replicate routines and keep old habits going strong. For example, she recorded me putting our dogs collars/leashes on so as to not disrupt the pre-walk routine that the dogs have become used to. She also picked up on a few commands that our dogs knew, and wanted to be sure to use them. Leesa was flexible (as she came to our home a few hours earlier than originally planned) and reliable with photos and updates during the stay. My wife and I were leaving town for the weekend and, as most couples do, found ourselves hurried and late. Leesa arrived and immediately stepped in, taking the dogs on a walk. She wanted to make sure that we could finish packing and hit the road without the distraction of the dogs trying to stay good-bye. Leesa gave regular reports on the dogs while we were away and continued to be mindful of anything she thought might be worth asking. Not once did I get the impression that things could go south--she seemed 100% in control. Leesa was also as gracious a guest in our home as one could ask. We returned to a hand-written, welcome-home note and two dogs that were (seemingly) better behaved than when we left. All in all, our experience with Leesa was terrific, and we hope to be able to repeat with her as often as she'll let us.

David is an excellent pet sitter! I have used him twice and have been pleased with how many updates and pictures I get! My dog is fairly shy and David gave him the time to adjust and won him over with many treats.

Christina did a good job with my dog. She was responsive and checked for my expectations. She also was flexible to handle some meds admin that had to get added to the task list at the last minute. I would recommend her to others.

Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.

Valory is amazing. She’s professional, courteous, attentive to detail, and willing to go the extra mile; not just for the owner, but also for the dog! My pup whined more when she left then when I did for my trip. 100% rebooking with her in the future. Couldn’t ask for more.

Shelby was so good with my pup! I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new but Shelby went above and beyond and I will no doubt use her again to take care of him! She kept me updated, took him to play with her pups, and he was pooped when we returned! Highly recommend!

The dogs love Deborah, she must give them all of the cuddles they need. She watched our 100+ lb Newfie and Rottie over Thanksgiving week, and they had no complaints upon our return! :) Their food ran out while we were gone and she cooked them up a rice & turkey meal for Thanksgiving when their Chewy delivery was delayed. She also kept the house as clean as humanly possible with the yard being 90% mud during the rainy week. 10/10 our go-to sitter, thanks Deborah!

Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.

Kate went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of my four dogs during a 5 day vacation. I would recommend her to anyone that really wants care and attention for their pups. Kate is, without a doubt, the best rover sitter I’ve used.

Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew to love animals like my own family. I’m very nurturing, loving, easygoing. Please feel free to get to know me <3 I currently work part-time hours so I would have plenty of time to care for your animals and I also have a pet friendly neighborhood so your pet will always go to a dog park just to have some fun time and lots of walking. We go on walks leashed . We do nap time. We have playtime. We have breakfast/ dinner time alone just so they are comfortable . Cuddle Time. Learning new tricks.

We are so thankful for Kathy and Brad taking care of our babies over the Christmas holiday. I trusted that they were in caring hands. They even got a visit from “Santa” in costume and we got a picture. It made our day on Christmas!
