“This is the first time I used someone thru Rover take care of my dog. He is used to his house and I wanted him to be able to stay in our home while I went away overnight. I was a little nervous about it but I booked Courtney to take care of my Gus and she was fantastic! She let me know when she was there and what Gus did while she was there and let me know when she left. She also sent me pictures. That was very comforting to me to know that my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely use Courtney again in the future! Thanks for doing a Great Job Courtney!?❤️”

About: Hello All! My name is Durgaprasad, a mouthful, you can call me Dp. A little about me is that I am a doctor from India. I’m in the process of applying for residency. I’ve taken care of animals my entire life and me and my husband have a furry friend of our own. I like to think that I take the utmost care, seeing that our dog is spoiled, yet humble. I feel what makes me different than any other sitter is how I’m able to help animals as if they were my patient. I believe they are living being and deserve the same nurturing we receive. I know some Animals have health conditions and although I’m not a Veterinarian, I am able to follow procedures and dosages of medicine that your animal may require. I believe that my care is unmatched. Seeing that I’m in the interview stage of my application process I have quite a bit of time that I can dedicate to helping others who need assistance. I believe my home is perfect for a dog. We have a dog park at our place on the riverfront as well as safe trails. I personally cook my dog her meals to ensure she receives the adequate nutrients to live a long healthy life. I like to think I’m very trustworthy and am ethically driven to make the best choices.
“Olivia was great with my doggies, she was timely and very easy to communicate with. I will definitely rebook with her in the future and recommend her! She’s definitely an animal lover. Thank you for accepting my last minute appointment and for being great!”
About: I’ve owned a dog all of my adult life. I can’t imagine life without having to pick up dog poop daily. :) I was able to crate/potty train our puppy in less than a week! I’m also able to help train with basic commands. Your furry, cuddly love bug will be in good hands. I am a stay at home mom, so I am free anytime to let your fur babies out, take them for a walk, replenish their food and water and give extra cuddles while you’re away. I have a 5 and 3 year old who love our dog. They are very gentle with their furry sibling. Your pet will feel safe and have another furry playmate to play with. I can send pictures once a day so you don’t have to miss your baby too much.

“We love when DP watches or dog. We were a little worried at first because one of our dogs has separation anxiety and our other is a new puppy. Dp calmed us down once we saw how well he interacted with our babies. He told us how he rescued his dog from a bad situation and went through the steps to rehabilitate her. Dp has a contagious smile and is so sweet. 100 % recommend.”

Hikes Point pet parents share their Rover experiences
Amazing pet sitters!! Taylor and Kyle took care of everything and bonded with my two kittens while i was away for 6 days. They done 39 minute and one hour drop in visits. I have two 6 month old cats. A Bengal and a domestic tabby💜 i was not worried much at all, only knowing that i was leaving them alone majority of the days gone. I definitely knew 100% that they were in good hands, even with it being my first time using Taylor and Kyles services. Also, i love all of the pictures they sent. They went above and beyond and 100% will be using them in the future.. if you're needing pet care, look no further!!
Heather has been our go to for watching our elderly dog. This past week was our first time having her do drop in visits for our cats and received the same great service from her! She leaves great notes on her visits with pictures and left everything clean and orderly.
We are very pleased with the care our pet received. Lindsey wrote thorough notes with pictures on every visit. Lindsey even went above and beyond and offered to get ant traps when we had unexpected pets visit our home. The whole Rover process is very easy and streamlined as well. We really appreciate you Lindsey.
Sarah is outstanding! She is great with cats and very reliable and communicative. Tiger is a bit shy and skittish but was open to Sarah and was happy in his pictures that she sent. Can’t say enough about this amazing sitter that really shines when caring for animals!
