Jennifer took excellent care of my two special needs senior dogs while we were out of town. I have two anxious pups who take several medications at odd times of the day and I’m personally very anxious to leave my dogs in anyone’s care. As soon as I met Jennifer I noticed she had a very calming presence and asked several questions that immediately made me feel at ease. She was very familiar with anxious dogs and gave my dogs the space they needed to get comfortable. While we were away, Jennifer was able to keep my pups calm and taken care of and provided several pictures and updates. I am very grateful for the time and care she provided and will definitely be reaching out to have her help with my girls the next time we are away.

Ashley was amazing! She notified us and sent a picture of our pups soon after she arrived. She kept us updated by emails and photos throughout her stay. Because our return was tentative because of driving back from a wedding, she stopped by in the afternoon to let the pups out prior to our return. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!

About: I grew up with pets since I was a little girl - raising 3 dogs and 2 cats. I’m currently not a pet owner, because although I’d love to, I live in a small apartment! However, I frequently help out family and friends with their own pets - rather that be pet sitting for a short weekend or walks throughout the day! I’m flexible and attentive. I can help with, but I’m not limited to: Feeding pets and putting out fresh water Brushing and grooming pets Bathing pets Cleaning litter boxes Walking dogs in all kinds of weather Vacuuming up pet hair Giving medications Taking pets to the vet in emergency situations Notifying owners of any injuries or sickness, and keeping them updated on their pets and home I look forward to working with you! I’m currently focused on building a flexible work schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive care for your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins throughout the week and weekends. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks, playtime, and keeping pets company fit naturally into my daily routine. I’m also communicative and dependable, and I’ll make sure your pet gets lots of love, attention, and updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, loving environment where pets can feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty breaks, and individual personalities or needs. I understand that every animal is different, so I take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust at their pace. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

Bethany did a wonderful job with our dogs. One of our dogs is known to be uppity and Bethany was patient with her. She finally won her over after several days which is quite an accomplishment. Bethany communicated well with pics and video often over the two weeks. We truly appreciate her care and attention to our animals and our home.

About: I’ve dog & cat sat for family & friends. This includes giving medicine , helping handicapped dogs, and feeding amongst other parts of their daily routine. I’m currently working partime so sitting is just on the side but my work schedule does not interfere , i don’t mind working and coming home to someone else’s dog in the slightest ! I treat everyone’s animals like my own. I have a cat and have had dogs in the past, i keep them on a routine & make sure their needs are taken care of at all times.

This was my first experience with Rover as well as having someone come to my home to sit with my dog. Danielle was so understanding of my nervousness and provided me with texts and pictures to help ease my mind. I was very pleased with the care Bella received and plan to use Danielle again.

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up; Dogs, cats, fish, iguana, domestic rabbits, goats, chickens, (oh my!) since I was about 5 years old. I admire every single creature as if they were my very own. This lead to me making it a side hustle (small biz gig) my senior year of high school (2012). Just recently made a Rover account and excited to meet new clients and new pets 😁. I’m very reliable in house sitting, drop-ins, walking, feeding, and administering meds. Just name it you got it! SCHEDULE I work part-time right now, so I am flexible to help meet you & your pets needs. I can help with drop-ins, evening walks most weekdays/weekends. Just hit me up let's work something out! :)) HOUSE SITTING/OVERNIGHT STAYS I'm requesting at least a one week notice for an overnight stay. I have three pets of my own, volunteering, and working part time, so I'll need to adjust my schedule accordingly! I have two golden girls 🐶 and a cat who still all kitten. A mix of low & high energy in my household so I give my cat at least an hour of playtime, and my girls just love to cuddle right up next to you.

About: My Dad introduced me to Rover! He cares for 13 regular clients and taught me everything I know about pet sitting. I had a dog for most of my childhood and lost him just recently, in January. I love caring for pets of all shapes and sizes with all their needs. It's great having energy in the house again! I am in school part-time on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (some Fridays) till 2pm. I work evenings as a swim instructor, so afternoon check ins and playdates are available! Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays are my big free days! I do not live alone! I'm housed by my wonderful parents who are willing to assist in whatever way (if needed). I have lots of spare time between school and work for check-ins and walks! Our house used to be home to my childhood doggy not too long ago, we still have bowls and toys they can play with! Walks are common in our neighborhood because fences are not. I have used harnesses, collars, and control collars in walks so I have experience. I will customize my care to you and your pets need, any type of feed wet or dry, any type of personality, no two pets are the same!

What an awesome service! I had been stressing for a couple of months with an upcoming trip and no one to watch my dog and cat. In a Google search I came across this website and I am so happy I did. The moment I met Laura I knew everything was going to be okay. I needed someone to come and stay in my home. Normally I am uneasy with people staying in my home, even people I know. After meeting Laura I knew I had made the right decision. I can't thank her enough; she was wonderful! Sweet, respectful and my babies were comfortable with her right away. Overall a really good experience in every way.

Emily was respectful of our house and left it exactly how it was found. It was so nice knowing the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. Hopefully Emily is available every time we need a dog sitter b/c I’d welcome her back each and every time! Thank you, Emily, for taking care of Tyson and Lilly while we enjoyed our last camping trip of the season.

Louis was so awesome! I’ve never left my pets alone with anyone outside of my family before, but I felt safe and secure with Louis in charge! Both of my dogs loved him and he took such good care of them. He even sent me some pictures. I will definitely ask Louis to pet sit again.
