“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”
“This is our 2nd booking with Wanda, 2nd time with Rover as well. I was so hesitant to entrust our pups with a stranger but we were in a bind. I missed the review window for the 1st booking, so I just have to start there. Wanda accepted a meet and greet at a neutral location then a 2nd meet at our home. With us, the dogs, and her, all comfortable with each other, a booking was agreed upon. From that point on it's been so rewarding for not just our dogs, but for us. Wanda keeps us updated on everything, from how many walks a day, and even how many poops per walk. T.M.I. I know, but for those helicopter moms of us, she understands. Please reach out to Wanda if in need of a sitter. Oh, and did I mention, she was at the house for the entire duration of our first 5 night trip, and the 2nd, 3 day trip. Couldn't even tell she had been there but for the door camera. She even followed up after the fact, checking in on them. And could tell our babies didn't miss us as much, as when we got home, they were just like, 'What's up'... Give Wanda a try, you and your 'kids' will not be disappointed!”
“Trey was amazing! He provided detailed frequent updates. Responded to my messages with a very fast turnaround and went above and beyond. I would 100% recommend. Extremely happy with Trey’s attention and care for our animals. Thank you so much!”
“Lauren was absolutely fantastic caring for our 3 female cats! Before we even officially booked, she was incredibly responsive, came by to do a meet and greet, and was so kind and warm. We felt so comfortable leaving the cats and our home in her care - great communication, kept their routines (& didn’t think all my notes were crazy), and we loved our photo updates ☺️ The biggest green flag? Our cats were just as relaxed and happy as normal when we got home - it’s like they barely noticed we were gone because Lauren cared for them so wonderfully! Will absolutely be booking Lauren in the future and HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing your fur babies to be truly loved and cared for while you’re away!!”
“Jeanette was amazing! I got home to incredibly happy dogs and she left them a gift which surprised me. She went above and beyond and loved them the way I would love them. I am incredibly thankful I found her.”
“Ladonna was AMAZING! WOW, our pup Sasha loved her. Ladonna sent pics while we were away on our trip that really made us feel so happy. The house was so clean upon our return! Thank you LaDonna!”
“I had never used a pet sitter before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect—but Justin was awesome! He came by ahead of time to meet me and my dog, Cierra, which made me feel a lot more comfortable. While I was away, he took great care of her—fed her, gave her medicine, took her on walks, and she even got to play with his dog, Winston. He sent me pictures all weekend too, which I really appreciated. Overall, super happy with the experience. Would definitely book with Justin again!”
“Jessica did a wonderful job with our two senior dogs! One is very grumpy with significant mobility issues and she handled with ease and confidence. She kept us up to date on how things were and added lots of pics. She went above and beyond taking care of doggos!”
About: I love spoiling dogs of all kinds. I enjoy walking and playing with them. I have had dogs for most of my life. I can do basic manners training. I am retired pharmacist and have flexibility in scheduling. I’m available drop ins and more. Boarding is not an option as I don’t have a fenced yard. I care for dogs and cats in your home. I will walk and play to their satisfaction. I will love on them and spoil them rotten. I am observant of their moods and personality and react accordingly. I need to know the location of basic cleaning supplies in the event they’re needed.I would also like an emergency contact and veterinarian phone, hopefully never needed.
“Jade was awesome! She was willing to work with us with both of our big wild dogs, and was especially patient with our anxious dog—-giving our pup the time she needed to get accustomed to Jade. Jade was so easy to book and communicate with, and sent frequent updates when we were gone, the dogs had a blast! We will definitely book Jade again.”
“Sydney was great to meet and communicated well prior to our meet n greet. Rags loved her from the start. She listened to everything we went over and then shared about her background and experience. I trusted her with Rags and my home (apt). She sent pics and a nice update with each. I didn't need tons of pics and updates so when they were sent, they were timely and well received. :0) She's got a great personality and knows how to take care of your pet with lots of love and care.”
“I think she did a great job watching our dogs they were happy and content she sent us pics every day I would definitely use her again than you so much for the care my doggies received they are not the easiest to care for but she did a good job”

About: I have grown up around all sorts of animals and have always had a passion for them! I have experience with mostly dogs and cats but and open to caring for any kind of four legged friend! Family and friends have relied on me for letting out their pets, feeding and walks as well as bathing on the occasion. I like to spend a lot of time outside and my schedule is very open so it would be nice to have a friend to join me. I care for my clients pets by providing timely, drop ins or over nights. I would let our furry friend out or take for walks upon arrival for at least 20-30 mins, running out energy followed by evening feeding or med routine if applicable. Light house keeping as well as lots of cuddles and pets for your furry friend
About: I’ve had my dog Shep for 18 years now and he’s probably almost 20 years old (and in excellent condition) I’d consider myself a dog expert and have been a dog sitter since I was a teenager. I’m currently working remotely and am able to provide pet care any time of the day or night. My schedule is very flexible and available. Having 4 dogs of my own (ages 5 to 19) I’m incredibly use to a dog’s routine and any special needs. I can easily stay with your pet in your home to keep up their normal routine.
About: Animals tend to have little to no difficulty getting along with me. I have been trusted to take care of friends and families animals for years. I have taken care of a litter of puppies while a family was in Florida and watched both cats and dogs while people were gone on a vacation. Every animal I have watched has taken well to me and I always respect there space and give the animal the time it needs to adjust to me. I am currently in school for Physical Therapy. I am able to stop over before and/or after classes. I am open on the weekends and can come whenever fits your needs! I am very responsible with the animals. I am super careful on only letting dogs off leash when they are in a controlled environment or when an owner tells me it’s okay. I will follow the directions you give to me and give you consistent updates so you can feel at peace while you are away!

Hixson pet parents share their Rover experiences
We were so happy to have Mary dog sit for our big Saint Bermastiff. He has never done very well boarding away from home, doesn't eat much and always seems a little mopey after we get him back home. We knew we needed to find someone to stay at the house with him. We were gone for 6 days and came home to a happy, well fed and not even remotely mopey boy. Mary was very communicative throughout the whole trip, sending pictures and keeping us updated on how Baron was doing. It was a relief to know Baron was well cared for and in good hands when we couldn't be here.
