“Sarah was amazing! I was traveling out of town on business and Sarah agreed to come walk my Chiweenie. They were kind, and Chiweenie was very chatty with Sarah. I’m sure they’re friends forever now.”
“Erin did a great job, even picking up last minute with our 4 fur babies during Derby 🐎 week. Both dogs and cats were well taken care of, she even brought packages in for us. We received multiple daily photos along with the written updates and felt every thing was under control. Highly recommend, and hope to be able to use Erin again when the need arises.”
“Tara was amazing! She sent me so many pictures during my trip and left very detailed notes. She’s very friendly and trustworthy. My cats loved her! Will be using her for future trips.”
“It was wonderful to have Katelyn take care of our pups on the most anxiety provoking day of the year for dogs, 4th of July. Katelyn put us our worries at ease with her communication and photos. She clearly loves animals and has a gift for making them feel safe and loved.”
“Michael communicates well and takes great care of our oversized puppy :) He is very accommodating with scheduling and always gives nice feedback about walks. Thank you!”
“Did stop in visits for my dog Gracie on my wedding weekend. She had never been boarded so rover seemed like a good idea. Ciara seemed to get along with Gracie when she came by to meet me and she sent at least 1 picture for each trip. She got there early to get Gracie out which was important since she was just coming off a bladder infection. I Will contact Ciara before my next trip and would be happy to have her watch gracie again.”
“Kumiko helped us out last minute when our usual sitter couldn't watch Brutus. She did a fabulous job and we got pictures of him outside each visit being happy!”
“Maggie was amazing with our 2 month old puppy! He was very communicative, sent plenty of pictures and attentive to Bohannon! We had to take a 5 day trip shortly after getting Bohannon and it was very hard to be away from him since he was so young. Maggie put me at ease and I knew he was being well cared for during her check appointments.”
“I’ve been having Meilin do drop ins with my old puppet, Zoe, for 3 ish now and Meilin has been such a pleasure to work with! They communicate any issues or concerns about Zoe with me quickly and the couple times they were running later or earlier they let me know. I know Zoe can be a lot sometimes and I appreciate that I never had to worry about her when Meilin was watching her. I highly recommend booking Meilin for all your pet sitting needs especially if you have a senior doggo!! 💚”
“Betsy was amazing! She was so communicative and went over and beyond to take care of our pup! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Definitely recommend her and will be using her again!”
“She was excellent. Needed her services due to another walker having to cancel during a current contract. She helped out immediately which was a huge relief. I would recommend her!”
About: I grew up on a farm and spent my summers living and caring for all types of animals from horses to chickens. I am working from home and looking to spend my lunch hour with animals and get some exercise walking neighborhood dogs! Ideally I would like to pet sit or dog walk during my lunch hour Monday - Friday but I am flexible as far as occasional weekend visits and different times of day. I care for every animal as my own and will spend time getting to know their individual personality. And my motto is to always leave someone’s home the same as or better than it was when I found it.
“Jessica has been wonderful! She has had many drop in visits with my puppy and is always on time/communicative. She does a great job with my puppy and is always professional. Highly reccomend.”
“Athena came through for us in a pinch. She is so communicative, attentive, and we truly lucked out in finding her. Our three dogs absolutely adore her. She sent videos and pictures that let us know that our dogs were in the best hands.”
About: My wife and I have been married over 20 years and 17 of those have been with multiple dogs in our house. We are dog-less at the moment, but would love to give your dog the love we have all of ours for so many years. I work full time from home and my wife is a professor, so we have a lot of time at home. Our son is 2, and absolutely adores dogs Whatever the owner needs us to do for the dog, we are happy to. Snuggles, walks, potty and regular feeding schedule is always on the docket
About: I have personally owned dogs for almost my entire life, and have been caring for other people's animals by myself since I was in middle school. I love dogs (and cats!) but being in newer teacher and my future uncertain, I cannot get a dog myself yet. I joined Rover to help people look after their pups, and get some time to hang out with dogs myself! I am professional, timely, and care a lot about the comfort and happiness of your pets! I am young and active, so I am happy to run/walk with dogs, but also enjoy down time on the couch with them. I have cared for a range of ages, from elderly to puppy, and a range of breeds. Most importantly, I have never met a dog I didn't like! Please note, I work from 7-3 on weekdays during the school year while I am completely available over the weekends and over most holidays and summer time! For pups who need more frequent potty breaks on weekday, I am unfortunately not your girl I am very kind and easy-going with pets. I also will treat your home as if it was my own and leave it clean if not cleaner than when you left. Available for light cleaning services, if wanted
