Christina did such an amazing job with Lincoln! It was my first time leaving him at home without a family member watching him, and she made me feel so comfortable, responding to all my many lengthy messages I sent about how to take care of him! She was on time for everything and sent pics and videos of how he did on walks, mealtimes, and just hanging out. I could tell she was really there for him and made an effort to get close to him even though he can be shy and independent. And he got to snuggle her when there was scary thunder 🥺 She also is very kind and understanding. I definitely recommend Christina 100%

Tina is so amazing that we want to keep her all to ourselves! ♥️ But that seems unfair so here you go… 1. Tina is a joy in person. Such a lovely human and easy to talk to. 2. She’s so good with dogs that she was completely unfazed by our big wildly energetic lab. They were immediate best friends and ready for adventure. 3. It’s so hard to find someone who is wonderful with cats too and cat would seem to be Tina’s second language. We came home to a blissed out cat who was energetic, lovey, and even put on a little much needed weight. Tina pays very close attention to an individual pet’s needs and our old special needs kitty is totally in love with her. 4. Pictures! Updates! 🎉 We had a consistent and lovely view of happy pets. 5. We are now calling her the immaculate house guest. Everything, and I mean everything, was pristine when we returned. It looked like a huge team of cleaners had been through the house. What an especially wonderful way to come home. All of that said, do not book Tina! We want her all to ourselves. 😉♥️

Bill was absolutely outstanding. He stayed at our place while we’re out of the country for a little over a week. He took incredible care of our two golden retrievers and sent many updates and pictures of them. He was prompt and took great care of our house while we were away. We will definitely be booking Bill again for his services!

Sarah was amazing. She is helpful, kind, and creative. My newly adopted dog is struggling with separation anxiety; knowing I could trust Sarah to keep him engaged and happy while I was out of the house was such a relief.

Kristen was absolutely amazing caring for my diabetic, blind dog. She went above and beyond to meet every one of her unique needs, and her communication throughout was exceptional. I always felt informed and at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, compassionate caregiver. Highly recommend!

20/10 recommend! Ari gave us constant updates and photos which really put us at ease. He came for a meet and greet at our home before the stay and was very reassuring. Our babies so obviously loved him and our apartment was exactly how we left it. Will definitely book again!

Megan was so sweet and chill! We needed someone to keep our Alaskan Malamute company while we went into the city for a concert in the evening. She was very responsive during setting up the house stay and communicated throughout the duration we were gone with helpful updates and photos of our anxious dog. He was immediately fond of her and even seemed to miss her after she left! I would highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a house sitter.

This is the first time I had someone stay in my home to care for Chica. Alexys was great. She came by the house the day before we were leaving for a meet and greet. She arrived on time, stayed one night overnight, washed the sheets and made the bed. That was above and beyond. And Chica was happy. I would definitely use Alexys again and recommend her to anyone need pet sitting/walking services.

Elizabeth is great! We have two needy pets, including an old, anxious dog with mobility issues and other special needs. Elizabeth was perfect with administering medications and and keeping up with regular physical therapy exercises. We came home to a clean house and two well cared for (though possibly disappointed Elizabeth was gone) pets. I would definitely recommend Elizabeth if you need someone to watch pets in your home.

Kacie is great! She watched our dog and cat in our home while we went out of the country for two weeks. Kacie provided us with regular updates on our pets, and kept us informed of happenings around the house. She was even was willing to accommodate when our return flight got delayed. When we came home, we found not only a very happy dog and cat, but a clean and tidy house. Will absolutely reach out to Kacie again when we need someone to watch our pets!

We've never left our kitties alone for more than a day or two and when we had to take a longer trip, we asked Porsche to take care of them while we were gone and it was a great experience. Normally whenever we're gone for too long, it's clear that they're stressed. When we got back this time they were totally chill, very "You were gone? Oh, we didn't notice. I'm going back to my nap now." It's was clear from their behavior that she took wonderful care of them and gave them lots of attention. Highly recommend Porsche and will be asking her to take care of them in the future if she's willing.

Katelyn did an excellent job watching Sadie and Bogey. She provided many updates and photos during the stay and was able to provide appropriate care according to each dog’s specific needs. When we arrived back from our trip both dogs were happy and the home appeared to be well cared for. I would definitely recommend Katelyn for pet sitting and boarding.

About: I’ve taken care of pet (dogs and cats) since I was 17. I’ve watched friends and family’s dog and have a fur baby of my own. She is a 12 year old sassy cat and I’ve raised her since she was 4 weeks old. I’m free Monday- Friday. I don’t work in office anymore so have the extra time to take care of your babies! Willing to work with your schedule. Only offer walks, pet sit at your house, over night watch at your house. No services at my house due to my sassy cat :)

This was my first time using Rover and I’m glad that I had Taylor watch my dog Betty. In fact, it was more about Betty interviewing Taylor to see if she wanted to be watched by her..which worked out because Taylor was very attentive to Betty’s needs and stayed in our home. She has a cool and caring personality and was able to satisfy the specifics I required for Betty’s care. I’ll definitely have Taylor back anytime I’m needing Betty care. Thanks for everything. 😃

Gio took wonderful care of our two rescue pups during their first Rover and housesitting experience. He send some wonderful video clips and photos and I felt so reassured knowing they were having a great time. He even had a special birthday celebration for our Katie who turned 5 while we were gone! We will definitely be booking again for future trips!

It's always nerve-wracking leaving my dog with someone new for the first time, especially when I'm not easily accessible. Good thing I took a chance on Anna - she handled everything perfectly! I really felt like she treated Turtle like her own pet for the week. Her and her partner provided all the care and loving that I'd hoped for. I will definitely use her again!

Ava took care of my two dogs when I was abroad for work. One of my dogs had a nasal tumor and Ava was comfortable handling her daily meds and a nosebleed that happened during the week. She sent me updates and took them for pup cups. She also made sure to leave my place as she found it. She was flexible and helpful. I recommend her.
