“Barbara is currently sitting for my dogs, I am still out of town. I will leave another review once I am home. I am trying to figure out how to leave a tip, because she goes way above and beyond. For all of the work and help she is doing for my dogs while I am gone is incredible, so I just want to throw her a tip because she more than deserves it.”
2. Crystal A.
“My doggies and I got to meet Crystal today. She is very knowledgeable and kind. My dogs liked her right away and I know they will be in good hands with her for our future drop-in bookings.”
3. Kayla R.
“I had the best first experience using the Rover app all because of Kayla. Her calm demeanor made my dogs and cats trust her almost immediately. She was incredibly thorough through the first initial visit and knew all the right questions to ask if I missed something. I will absolutely be rebooking with her. Incredibly happy that I have a trustworthy babysitter because that’s what she is. An incredible babysitter for my fur babies!”

6. Gennavie R.
“I never liked leaving my boy Simba with anyone until I met Gennavie. I trust her with Simba more than my own family and now I bug her every chance I get. Simba not only loves to hang out with her but I almost feel like he’d rather stay with her some days then hang with me.”
7. Hailee A.
“Hailee was wonderful! Bruno and Fancy just love her! She was very patient and kind to my fur babies! I would highly recommend Hailee! She was on time and very presentable.”
8. Emily T.
“Emily was available for a drop by visit with my 13 week old puppy at the last minute, saving me some additional stress and worry! She followed instructions on care and went above and beyond to make sure my puppy got the most out of her visit! Emily shared pics and videos with me which was a great additional touch. She wore my puppy out which was the main goal! I would definitely utilize her services again with no doubt.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my loving ,caring, compassionate, kindness towards animals. As I have two lovely bunnies that took lots of bonding and trusting I feel confident with my love for animals. My skills are to always make sure pets feel loved and cared for and given the needs they need from feeding to playing to walking to cuddling and make sure they feel super happy as there owner is absent but also being able to clean there needs such as litter boxes to poopie . This is why I believe I would be a wonderful animal babysitter since I have taken care of many animals such as newborns to puppies to big doggies or any type of animal:) Pet care fits in to my schedule perfectly as I’m in college from 10:30 to 12:35 from MTWT I have the rest of the day and mornings before class to pet care and weeks full ability I care very deeply for my animals at home as in my home I have lovely doggies they aren’t mine but my sisters or parents I will still care for them whenever they can’t, like babysitting. From feeding to playing to cuddles to anything I make sure they have fun. From my own pets I am a lovely mom to two bunnies who get so much attention and love and playtime and bonding time to trust as bunnies take lots of patients and love so I would be willing to baby animal sit :)

15. Abby H.
About: I’ve taken care of animals in a personal sense (dog for 11 years and cats for 2 years), but I have also spent summers volunteering at the Kern County Animal Shelter, and I have some experience with farm animals as well (less than a year). I work full time but during the night. My work hours are usually from 12am-8:30am so I will be available for most of the day for whatever care your animal may need. I have a fenced yard a small dog, three cats, and a foster kitten. My neighborhood is very walkable and I have experience walking both cats and dog.

“Maya was the most considerate and kind young woman that I could ask for in a dog sitter. She took care of my old little chihuahua with such affection. I can tell she has a real passion for animals and you will not regret going with her for anything that you might need for your pets.”
18. Kaitlyn H.
About: As a dog owner of 12 years I have all the qualifications and experience to care for your animal(s). I grew up in a household with 6 dogs who were the highlights of our life. I walk my own two dogs daily and provide them with the best care to my ability. Looking forward to meeting/caring for your pet/pets. I am an online college student so this gives me an open schedule when it comes to proving pet care. I have an open schedule and am willing to accommodate to any needs. I have a fenced area in my condo where your dog will have space to use the restroom, run, etc. My two dogs are extremely friendly. Brody is a puppy so he has lots of energy, if your dog needs space I’m able to separate them during the duration of your pets stay. As far as in-home care, I will provide whatever care necessary. I’m able to walk, take them out, feed, check-ins, night stays, etc (just ask)
