Our senior dogs tend to get really scared with new people and are high anxiety when we get home. This time was different - they were happy, calm and went right back to their normal routine when we got home. We had daily photo/video updates which was so appreciated. Highly recommend!!

Allison did a great job house sitting and taking care of Dax at the last minute! She sent lots of updates and photos. The house was very clean too! My only issue was the $20 meet n greet fee which I thought would be deducted from the booking once confirmed. Even though her bio says, “to be modified in the final price once a booking is confirmed” I still thought it meant she would take it off the price upon booking, but she adds it no matter whether you book or not. I’ve used Rover for almost 2 years and never had to pay someone to meet. I also pay fees when booking Rover too…. So it’s part of the program. I, too, lose out on my time if someone meets Dax and decides he’s too big or not a good fit for them. I don’t get paid for my time going to job interviews or when I’ve interviewed babysitters…. So just something to consider.

We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life. I have been responsible for feeding them, taking them out to the bathroom, going on walks, teaching new tricks, basic grooming and brushing, and giving them the love and care a dog deserves! I currently have four dogs at home, including a golden retriever, a collie-cocker spaniel mix, and two other cocker spaniels, so you can count on me to keep your pets safe and taken care of! I work full-time Monday through Friday, but I’m typically available after 4–5 PM on weekdays. I’m also available on weekends for more flexible scheduling. Depending on the week, I may be available for morning visits as well—feel free to reach out and ask! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When I care for pets in your home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own and strive to maintain a calm, familiar environment for your pet. I understand how important it is to build trust, both with you and your pet. I’ll follow your care instructions to the letter, provide regular updates and photos, and ensure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their usual routine, keeping them active and engaged, or simply offering quiet companionship, I aim to create an stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend. You can count on me for responsible, attentive, and loving care every time.
