Asia took great care of our pup, Juniper, as well as our house. She was really helpful and responsive to our messages. Our flights kept changing and Asia was flexible and made sure Juniper wouldn’t be left alone too long waiting, especially while there were thunderstorms (which scare Juniper). We came home to a happy healthy pup!

Maria is a fantastic pet sitter who treats your pets and your home like it's her own. She follows instructions and sends plenty pictures of my pets often. She is by far the best sitter I have hired and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter.

Channing was great - she brought such good energy and was so natural with the dogs. Channing sent a ton of photos and was extremely communicative in the lead up and during her stay. We do not have easy dogs and Channing seemed to do great with them. Will definitely be reaching out in the future.

Naya handled all my dog could throw at someone new - from pooping in his crate to trucking her into extra play time outside, naya handled it all perfectly. When I got home, I literally had to reassure my fiance someone did take care of juicy- she left the house with no trace she was here, she only left behind a happy well loved pup! Will be booking naya again!

Ivan has shown tremendous patience with our overly anxious puppies. He was amazing with communication through out the stay. I plan on using him again for future trips and highly recommend him for others to use as well. The videos he sent were adorable and made us feel very safe for him to have out animals.

About: I have over 6 years of professional animal care experience, including working as a veterinary assistant, at dog daycare and boarding facilities, and caring for farm animals. I have also volunteered with wildlife rehabilitation centers and horse stables, so I am comfortable working with a wide variety of species and personalities. I grew up around animals and currently have pets of my own, including cats and reptiles. Throughout my life I have cared for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, and I am confident handling pets with different temperaments and needs. Friends, family, and coworkers have always relied on me when they need someone they trust to watch their pets or ask questions about animal care. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you are away. I would love to meet you and your pets and provide reliable, attentive care you can feel confident about. I have a relatively open schedule as I do my school work remotely, so I have plenty of time to swing by whenever you may need. I will follow all set directions for your pets, whether you want them out in the yard or leashed on a walk, and whatever else they may need.

If we could give more stars, we would. Michael was wonderful, going above and beyond any expectation we had for someone taking care of our dog and our home. He is very attentive, responsible and responsive to any messages we sent. Most importantly, he is just a very kind person whom we hope to have to our home again. Our dog has a new wonderful friend! His photos of our dog were amazing, too! We are very grateful for Michael.

Imani was absolutely wonderful. This was our first time using Rover and Imani was helpful every step of the way. We did a meet and greet a couple weeks prior and then she stayed with our dog for a week while we were away. Plenty of updates and photos helped us feel super comfortable being away from home. I would absolutely recommend Imani and would gladly book her again next time!

Ivan has been such a great sitter for our pup Koa. She usually takes a bit to warm up to strangers, but his calm and welcoming demeanor put her at ease right away. Koa can also be reactive around other dogs and is generally an anxious girl, and Ivan has been wonderfully patient with her. She was recently diagnosed with cancer, and he has been incredibly flexible with administering her medications. We've already booked Ivan three times and will absolutely be booking him again in the future.

Emma did such a great job taking care of Sabi and my house. She communicated really well and that gave me peace of mind and confidence that everything was in order. Sure enough, when I got home after a 5-day business trip, the house was clean and Sabi was happy. She's a really good communicator and very responsible. I will book with Emma again for sure.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Jackie! She truly put us at so much ease when we went out of town. She cared for our cats with the same love that we do and our cat who is usually very shy warmed up to her very fast! I would recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a sitter that provides a lot of love and attention to your pets.
