Was extremely kind and diligent and took the best care of pepper. I gave Mia a bafflingly long list of random instructions and she followed them to a tee and handled everything well. So so trustworthy. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

Jessica is great with our senior dog! It is so comforting knowing we can leave our dog and home with someone who truly cares. I’m so glad we found Jessica and we will continue to utilize her anytime we need a pet sitter.

Grace was a fantastic sitter for our animals! They were happy and healthy when we got home, and she kept in touch with us while we were gone.

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Scott was fantastic with our dogs during the nine days we were away. He clearly cared for them like they were his own, and the thoughtful updates he sent made us feel completely at ease while we were gone. Our pups were happy, healthy, and well-loved when we returned. Beyond being a reliable sitter, he’s just an overall great guy, and we feel very lucky to have found him. We’d book with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent care for their pets.

Hannah was outstanding. Our schedule changed slightly at last moment and Hannah changed her schedule to accommodate and arrive to our home and be with Harley soon after we had to leave. Hannah kept us up to date and posted lots of photos of our beloved Dog Harley as well as all the walks and loving she provided. We came home to Happy puppy and very clean home. Hannah was awesome and we look forward to having her sit with our dog again in the future.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Currently live with 2 dogs and 2 cats, and my family has 3 other dogs! I’ve dog-sat for many years, both staying at homes and frequently checking in. I have a natural way of connecting with animals, and I love spending time with them! During the summer, I will have availability to walk dogs, let dogs out, and care for pets during the day and evenings on weekdays. June weekdays I am available after 12, and July weekdays I am available all day. Weekend availability is not consistent throughout the summer. I live with two dogs and two cats. I walk the dogs frequently, feed them breakfast and dinner, and keep their spaces clean and safe! I monitor pets as they chew on toys, and throw away toys that could be dangerous. Managing 4 pets is a handful, but I love it!

Eloise is amazing. I felt very confident from the start of our interactions to the meet and greet and the eventual stay that she would take great care of Opal. I was correct! She’s super thorough yet laidback, sent updates and was easy to communicate with!

THANK YOU so much for taking such good care of Freya! We had Katelynn stay at our house for 5 days and we got so many updates about how Freya was doing. Will ABSOLUTELY continue to book Katelynn, especially since we have a major surgery coming up for Freya and there might be days where I cannot come home and check on her during work. Thanks again!

Abigail was an amazing dog sitter for our little rescue dog. He can be a tricky one with lots of separation anxiety, but Abigail was such a great support and comfort to him. She was very communicative and tried everything she could to make sure he was happy and healthy. She went above and beyond and we are so thankful to have had her as our sitter!

We are beyond grateful to have found Stephanie who allowed us to enjoy a week while she stepped in and took care of our babies. Moving here without local friends or family and leaving our babies was frightening, even to the point where we considered cancelling our vacation. After meeting Stephanie, we felt at ease to leave our attention needing 8 year old Frenchie and geriatric bunny under her care. We received daily pictures and videos which helped so much to give us that peace of mind we very much needed. Also, our house was exactly the way we left it. Stephanie is very respectful and loving, we would recommend her to anyone. We look forward to our next getaway and without any hesitation, we will be using Stephanie again.

This was my first experience of using Rover so I was a little unsure of how it all worked but Jennifer was such a blessing to find, her knowledge and experience of dogs and rescue is invaluable. Angus was walked and played with and entertained. I was relaxed and able to enjoy my weekend away without worry. They even had an adventure with a squirrel being chased into the house !!!! Jennifer was very capable and confident and calm and was able to get the squirrel out !! much to Angus' excitement. LOL Jennifer was punctual, and left my home just as I left it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a petsitter.

About: I was a dog sitter for the same dog for 4 years. He was my neighbors dog and is a beautiful golden lab. I would take him for daily walks when my neighbors were working or on vacation. I would feed him his three daily meals and we would play fetch in the backyard. When his owners were on vacation I would stay at their house with him and his cat brother. I would love nights with them being curled up on the couch together. I’m currently a full-time student and part-time Patient Care Technician at a hospital. I have a lot of free time on my hands (surprisingly) and I love animals so why not spend my spare time taking care of others pets! I take online classes so I’m available throughout the day. With my job I only work two days a week overnight, so finding time should be easy to take care of your fur baby. Depending on if you need cat or dog services or both-I’m open to however you would like me to cater to your pets needs. I will keep up with their scheduled feeding times, walks/potty times, brushing their fur, and of course all the cuddles and pets in the world!
