“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
“Michaela did an amazing dog with our dog and cat. Our cat was just getting over a sickness and our dog was adopted one week before she came to sit for us. She eased this anxious pet parents mind and sent me updates daily on our sweet boys. We will definitely be booking again in the future ☺️”
“We had a great experience with Karen! Our fur baby absolutely loved her, and it was clear she took great care of him. She kept the house clean and tidy, sent regular updates and sweet photos, and was very easy to communicate with. Everything went smoothly, and we’d definitely book her again. Highly recommend!!”
“Zoe took great care of Libby during our seven day vacation. She was punctual, communicated and sent pictures with daily updates. She was sensitive to Libby's anxiety and was proactive in treating it. We would definitely recommend Zoe for your pet's needs.”
About: I have taken care of family and friends' dogs since I was 15 years old. I grew up in a household of dogs, cats, hamsters, bunny, turtle, and even a bearded dragon! I have taken basic training classes for dogs. I have senior dog experience, diabetic dog experience, and other health conditions that has required additional love and attention. I have given shots to dogs with diabetic needs. I am able to provide antibiotics, supplements/vitamins, flea/tick medication, and anything else that is provided by you and/or your vet. I am able to give a bath and/or brushing as necessary. I work full time time at home. I have all the time in the world to give your dog/cat the attention and love it deserves while you are away. I have a fenced in yard that your pup can spend lots of time running in! Potty breaks are given all throughout the day. I have one XL dog crate that is available for your dog. I also have a smaller crate for those smaller pups. I also can have your animal with me alone in my office if your pet needs special 1:1 attention!
“Kelly was the perfect choice for housesitting my pets. She had her hands full and graciously attended to each pet and their certain needs. My oldest pup had a little separation depression and wasn’t eating a lot so she made her some chicken and hand fed her some nuggets and gave her extra assurance to make her feel okay! I would highly recommend this sitter! She took great care of my pets and my house!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”
About: Ive been dog sitting and training since I was 18 professionally. I can do anything between administering medications to training even the roudiest of dogs I am open and available for the most part in the mornings and sometimes afternoons depending on the week, and I will communicate my availability in advance. I use positive reinforcement to help the pets I care for feel more at ease with me and I always have treats on me for them
“Grace took wonderful care of our sweet boy while we were gone. She sent us updates and pictures the whole time and Murphy loved having her around. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“She really cared about Arlo and did a good job caring for him. Took action when he got sick and took him to the emergency room for me. Prompt responses when I reached out to me. Apologetic for any mishaps. Clear communication.”
About: I have worked in veterinary services for 5 years. I have a wide variety of veterinary medicine experience. I graduated Vet Tech school in 2020. I will care for your pets like they are my own. I work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. I can do drop in visits before work at 7 am. I have my lunch break from 12pm-1pm, depending on location I can do a dog walk or a drop in visit during that time. I can also do drop in or dog walks after work during the time of 5pm-8pm. On the weekends I am free anytime, and can do home stays. I do overnight home visits only on the weekends, but do not have pets stay in my home. I can feed/water, clean litterboxes, and walk pets. I can also stay with the pets for a negotiable amount of hours to play/socialize with them. And any other services if agreed upon.
“There aren’t words to describe how amazing and wonderful MacKenzie was to my family and sweet pups. We had a death in the family and were needing an extremely last minute booking. Due to my corgis having anxiety, I decided to try a home stay through Rover (first experience). She was competitively priced and incredibly responsive. Not to mention flexible and willing to accommodate every need! She messaged daily multiple times with pictures of my sweet puppers (which was a welcomed relief from the sadness we were dealing with) and kept my house neat and tidy. Definitely will be utilizing her again in the future if she chooses us to bless us with her services!!!”
“Emma is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever used. We have a lab with cancer who requires pills 3x a day as well as a 16 year old Shih Tzu with advanced arthritis and seizures who also requires pills and drops throughout the day. Additionally, he is a very picky eater and is known to go on “hunger strikes” when we leave him to travel. Emma never missed a dose for either dog despite all of this and she got the older dog to eat twice a day every day. He usually loses weight when we are gone, but with Emma, he actually put on a pound! We came home to a spotless house and two healthy and very happy dogs. They actually walked around the house looking for Emma for a couple days after we got home. Emma was so good we actually moved our next trip to a week she is available. Do yourself a favor, stop looking for a dog sitter and book Emma!”
