“Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.”
“Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!”
“Andrea was great with Hubble! She's very communicative, punctual, and did a great job with Hubble's anxiety. We will definitely rebook with her.”
“Heather walks my dog on the days I work, and she is incredibly reliable, so communicative and very quickly responsive. My dog loves her too, and I always appreciate the pictures she’s sends on their walks. Recently, we went out of town for the weekend, and Heather house sat. She sent multiple updates and pictures a day, which was so appreciated, and was just as communicative and reliable as always! I felt so secure leaving my guy and home knowing Heather would be there to take care of home. Thank you again!!”
“Rima is great! Very attentive, very communicative. Made my anxious pets feel comfortable and loved. Left the house spotless and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“Lauren stayed with our dog while we were away for a few days. She is very nice, prompt, and professional. She sent pictures and kept us updated while we were gone. We came home to a happy dog. We got back later than we expected due to airline issues and she was very accommodating by staying until we got home. I highly recommend her.”

We received a detailed update on our girl, including an hour by hour account of how she didn’t sleep bc of her anxiety and how Natasha got up with her several times through the night to walk her and comfort her. I can’t say enough about Natasha’s kindness and patience toward our special needs girl.”

About: I had a deaf dog for two years in college and have experience caring for my family's dogs, including walking, bathing, and feeding. I have cat/house sat for weekends and dog sat for weeks at a time with twice-daily visits. I work from home 50% of the time (usually Wednesdays, Fridays, and every other Monday) and can stop by for pet walks, visits, and care while I’m home. I am around most weekends. I will provide individualized care for dogs on walks and in their homes, including careful walks and wellness checks after each. I love playing with cats and dogs, so I will keep them entertained!
“Leo was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Oliver. He wasn't used to caring for big dogs (Great Pyrenees mix), but they bonded right away. Leo kept me updated the entire time I was away, asked good questions to make sure he was keeping Oliver's routine and he left my house incredibly neat. I would strongly urge you to book Leo!”
“Kathryn was flexible, responsive, and sent pictures which I appreciated while watching my two senior dogs for a late night house sitting. Would recommend!”
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
“Pamela was awesome! Plenty of pics and videos so i new my dog was in good hands while I was away. Came home to a clean house and a happy pup. Highly Recommend!”
“It was so great to have Joe as a sitter for our pups while we were out of town. He understood that the dogs were not use to being alone over night and was very flexible. We hope to have Joe back in the very near future!”
