“Jamie did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! Always quick to respond, and can absolutely handle any needs or requests you might have. We’ll definitely ask her back in the future!”
About: Growing up, we always had pets. I have lots of family and friends all with multiple pets, I love getting to know all of their individual personalities and how to take the best possible care of each one. My dog is 14 years old, blind, and diabetic. So I have plenty experience with dogs of all ages and some special needs. I currently work full time (9-5) Monday - Friday. I’m available all day Saturday & Sunday. Depending on the location, I can accommodate a walk or drop in before 8:30AM and after 6PM on weekdays. I’m happy to talk and make something work so you know your pet is well taken care of. Feel free to message me with any questions! 🐾 I require meet & greets for all requests to ensure your pet is comfortable with me. Preferably in person but a video call is ok if needed. 🐾 Drop ins & Walks - I do everything I can to be consistent with request times. Occasionally some flexibility will be needed and is greatly appreciated. I will always let you know as soon as possible if there are any scheduling delays. 🐾 House sitting - I have limited availability for this because my dog is insulin dependent so I need to leave morning & night for about an hour to care for her. For this reason, I am only available for overnight stays Friday night - Sunday night. My senior dog is blind so she goes absolutely nowhere without me keeping a close eye on her & her surroundings. It’s natural to me to be very aware of how a pet in my care is behaving and expressing body language so I can make sure they are comfortable and safe at all times.
“Sarah is the best! Our Chai Boy loved his time with her! She had amazing communication from start to finish and sent lots of photos which we absolutely love! Highly recommend Sarah and will definitely book with her again!”
“Cathryn is wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog Lucy who is highly energetic. She kept us updated with pictures each day and was accommodating when things popped up. This was our first time using rover after changing dog sitters and I’m so thankful we found her!”
“Mandy did a fantastic job caring for my dog, Zippy. He’s an older gentleman who loves his snuggles, and she was the perfect match for him. She kept me updated with photos throughout the 7 days she stayed with him, which meant so much to me. Mandy was also incredibly reliable, making sure Zippy received all his medications promptly and without any issues. If I could give her 100 stars, I absolutely would. She was truly excellent!”
“Izchel was amazing! It was my first time using a dog/house sitter. She took great care of my 3 standard poodles. She stayed at my house with them & everything was neat & tidy & my dogs were calm & relaxed when I got home. She kept me updated while I was away & asked questions if she needed clarification. She went above & beyond, I will definitely use her again.”
“Pam has become my trusted go-to for all of my sitter needs. All of my furbabes lover her (and her son!) and I can’t imagine trusting anyone else with my lovelies or my home.”
“Mary was great! She provided great updates and pictures of my dog! My dog was well taken care of. I will definitely ask her to take care of my dog again!!”
“Sidnee was great!! We really appreciate her watching our Riley for the weekend. She was so organized and attentive and gave us updates twice daily! Highly recommend using her services :)”
“Cindy was so great! I felt at ease with her sitting our dog and cat. She was very communicative and made me feel like my pets were well cared for. My pets loved her and I will surely book her again!”
“Madison and her fiancé took such great care of Ollie for a week for us! I have no complaints. They went above and beyond and it was like we never left when we got home to our pup. He seemed happy, content and well taken care of!”
“Sarah was very communicative providing up dates and pic/videos. My pets enjoyed her company! She even put me at ease when she noticed and was patient with my doodles potty shyness! 🤗”
About: I've fostered and taken care of reactive dogs as well as dogs with medical needs. I'm experienced in administering insulin and caring for senior dogs. I have a flexible work schedule and am happy to care for any pets on the weekends. On the weekdays, my schedule greatly varies so it would be best to directly contact me with inquiries. I offer house sitting and dog walking services. If your fur baby gets along with mine, I'm more than happy to care for them in my apartment. I have a balcony where my cat loves to watch the cars go by and also have access to a fenced in play area for dogs to run around in.
“Vanessa has helped with our dog before and we will absolutely ask her next time we need help. She is always here when she says she will be and sends updates and pictures to ease our minds.”
“Maverick was great! He was everything we needed in a puppy sitter. He was communicative and polite and the house was in great shape when we returned. 10/10 would use again!!!”
“Charles did an amazing job with Koda. I received daily updates and pictures on how he was doing. He was even even able to help out an extra night when our flight was cancelled. I would definitely book him again in the future.”
“Mia was wonderful! I felt like our dogs were so well cared for while we were away and will definitely request Mia again! Great communication, sent photos of the puppies and even worked around visiting guests. Thank you Mia!!”
“Chyna has been outstanding! I have left my baby with her many times. She is very sweet and professional. She sends you many pictures during the day and keep us posted. I would recommend her without any hesitation. I already have rescheduled for my future vacation. She is the best!”
“Rose stayed with our pets while we were gone for 7 days. Everything that we asked of was done and more! I would recommend Rose if you’re looking for someone to care for your pets.”
Hillcrest pet parents share their Rover experiences
Madeline was absolutely wonderful. We have never used a dog sitter before but needed one for our wedding weekend. Thanks to Madeline we didn’t have to worry about our boy at all. She sent lots of photos / updates and it was clear she went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable, happy and well cared for. I would recommend her services and hope to book her again in the future!
We needed a sitter for our two dogs at the last minute holiday week, and Raina responded immediately. From the day we met her, you can notice that she loves and cares for animals, our dogs came to her and started to play with her. We are so happy to say that Raina was the best experience as a sitter through Rover. She kept us informed through photos and messages. It was clear that Raina went above and beyond in taking care of our babies. We definitely recommend Raina, as she is very professional and trustworthy. We will absolutely book with her again.
Jordan was thrown into a situation of me being out of town for 4 days while my pupper was sick, but she did great keeping me informed and offering to go above and beyond in making sure my dog ate and got her meds. She sent lots of pics, and I did not feel stressed during my trip even under the circumstances, I knew my babies were in good hands - highly recommend Jordan and will be using her for future trips :)
Phillip was great with my dogs! I have 2 puppies, a 2year old and 3yr old puppy full of energy! Phillip took them for a lot of walks and sent pictures of them playing outside getting out there energy. I had to change plans last minute and add an extra day, and Phillip was very accommodating and always quick to respond!
Emily was FANTASTIC! She was prompt to respond and sent me pictures of my babies without me even having to ask. And she didn't charge extra, like lots of other services. She is my new "go to" any time I'm out of town and can't take my dogs. And the price was unbeatable. I felt so comfortable with her dogsitting my angels. Thank you, Emily!
Shelby was an amazing sitter for my 2-large, needy fur babies! She is kind, and made sure my fur babies were comforted throughout all of the fireworks over 4th of July weekend. Shelby left my house clean as if she had not been here at all. While here, Shelby was communicative, with updates on medication, feedings, treats, playing fetch and long walks, as well as how my dogs were doing overall. My dogs loved her and I look forward to having her sit with them again. I highly recommend Shelby for your pet sitting and pet walking needs. She’s awesome! 😊
Ari was very responsive to the initial request visiting our dogs to see if she and they were a good fit. During the house sitting she arrived on time and provided video and text updates. She even stayed till we returned as our stubborn Brittany would not go in her kennel. Everything was easy and Ari was great, will use again.
