“I appreciated Nadine sending me updates and pics of my dogs. One of my dogs is very skittish and scared, I know that couldn’t have been easy. But I know he was still well taken care of! I would book her again!”
“Alisa was great. My dogs are objectively a LOT and not only did she do great with them but she was very reassuring that they (and her) were ok. I stress a lot on vacation, worrying that my boys are being awful to whoever watches them, but was able to relax and enjoy knowing they were all doing ok. And the pictures were the cutest!”
“Jen was a wonderful dog sitter for our dog Rafiki! She has excellent communication, kept us updated frequently, and genuinely enjoyed her time with our special little guy! We found out Rafiki had an ear infection right before we left and Jen was so gracious as to administer his medicine. We will definitely be working with Jen in the future!!”
“This was our Winnie’s first ever stay with a sitter and I couldn’t have picked a better person! Nejra was absolutely fantastic! She provided photos throughout the day which were great. She was definitely approved by all the animals which was great!!”
“We rebooked Sam to watch our senior frenchie Tiffany while we went out of town for a week. Sam was amazing! They reached out with any questions and sent lots of updates and pictures. We just got home and Tiffany is chill as a cucumber, no stress at all. Sam was wonderful giving Tiffany her meds (there are so many) on schedule and without any issue. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip because Sam was here taking the best care of our Tiffany. Sam is also very friendly and chats with us in the app and in person so this whole situation is even more comfortable because we have a super cool person dog sitting, someone we would want to hang out with and who is competent, funny, and so caring. I cannot recommend Sam enough!”
“We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here! She always sends us updates and photos and I feel very at ease when we are out of town and she is here. Highly recommend.”
“Another great experience working with Melissa while she cared for my 3 1/2 year Goldendoodle. Melissa goes above and beyond what is expected, and takes excellent care of my rambunctious doodle.”
“Yasmin was very studious with my puppies. She was not afraid to communicate with me. She did a great job letting me know the dogs were being taken care of. highly recommend her.”
“McKenna did great with my chihuahua Sassy who lives up to her name and can be quite Sassy! She was patient, caring, and attentive with our baby! Sent frequent updates on how she was doing and very trustworthy!”
“We really appreciate everything that Allison does for our Louie! She’s very punctual and arrives when she says she will and she does a wonderful job of staying in contact with us and filing us in on how things are going. We really appreciate the photos she sends us as well. She brings her own bedding and food and always leaves our home in great shape. We are always confident that our doggie will receive kind and loving care. We highly recommend Allison! 5 Stars!!”
“Anthony kept me updated the entire time he was at my house watching our 2 cats and 1 dog. I received lots of pictures and videos that were much appreciated. I feel like everyone was well cared for while we were away.”
“Absolutely amazing house and dog sitter. She went above and beyond in every way and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Tiger was so loved, cared for, and spoiled the entire time — we could tell immediately when we got home. She kept us updated, treated our home with care, and truly cared for Tiger like he was her own. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation! 🐾✨”
“Megan was a huge blessing to us! She came over prior to our trip to meet us, go over our house rules, and meet the dogs (German Shepherd and Pointer/Hound). While we were gone she sent daily updates with their activities and photos. They consistently looked happy and healthy. When we returned the house was clean and tidy, and the dogs were happy as could be. We will defintely be asking Megan to house/dog sit in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was a small child, as I grew up with them in my house. I am open to all cats, and small or big dogs! I am a student, with only one in person class which gives me great availability to care for animals. I help take care of my roommates cat already, and it works great with my schedule. I will keep all dogs leashed unless directed otherwise. For big dogs, I have experience walking them as well. The dogs will stay in my line of sight at all times!

Grimes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jen was fantastic! This was our first time using Rover and it went so well. It was for a holiday weekend where she already had pups she just needed to let out but she was willing to do both to help us out in a pinch. She made time to come meet Rocco before staying with him and we all liked her right away! She left the house clean which is always nice to come home to. The real stand out was when we got hit with an ELEVEN hour delay. We were supposed to get home around 4pm so told her she could leave around noon, first delay came I asked if she could stay an extra hour, no problem. We continued getting delayed to a point we didn’t think we’d make it home at all so we reached out and she had no problem coming back to stay with him again. We ended up taking off close to midnight local time so I let her know we would be landing around 3am. She woke up to that text and headed out a couple of hours before we arrived to a clean house and happy pup! She was so willing to help us when the unpredictable happened we can’t thank her enough!!
