“Lavinia was amazing! My dog and two cats are very nervous and shy when meeting new people but they warmed up very quickly with Lavinia. I was going on vacation for a week and had never left them alone for more than a night but Lavinia set my mind at ease with updates multiple times a day. My animals looked very happy and well taken care of in the updates and when I got home. My apartment was spotless when I arrived back and Lavinia even left us a painting of our dog that she made which was so beautiful! I'd highly recommend Lavinia to take care of your babies!”
“We are from out of town and needed her to watch our pup. She was amazing from the booking until we returned. She seems to love it and that makes all the difference! Thank you Alyssa!”
“Ona was wonderful! So accommodating, took great care of our dogs and our home. She was flexible and generous and the dogs seemed happy and healthy when we returned. She communicated with us throughout and sent pics of the dogs. We highly recommend!”
“Mike took wonderful care of Colby. We are lucky to be able to relax knowing Colby is in good hands. He stayed the night and let Colby out in the early morning hours to make sure he was taken care of. He did puzzles with Colby and brushed his teeth. Colby knows Mike by name and loves hanging out with him. Thank you so much Mike!!”
“David is the first sitter we have used on Rover for our dogs and cat, while we were away for the weekend. He is phenomenal; our nervous pups took to him immediately and I got pics of relaxed, cuddling dogs - and our GSD is not typically a cuddler so this was even more remarkable. All the pets were calm and happy when we came home. He took great care of our home as well. We will definitely rebook! We are very happy with his care.”
“Emilia was so great with our dog, Willow! They were able to accommodate our last minute dog-sitting request, offered to arrive early to go over any special instructions, and sent us cute pics of our pupster while we were out (the separation anxiety goes both ways!... ) Thanks so much for taking such good care of Willow, Emilia!!”
“Anika was awesome - responded quickly to a last-minute request for house sitting and took excellent care of our pooch and abode! Highly recommend.”
“We couldn't be more pleased to have found Emily to stay with our furbabies! She responded almost immediately to my first request and has been more accomodating by coming over to meet us, get to know our pets, and take a short walk. While we were gone we received wonderful feedback about their behaviour and she even put up with our heat that kept dropping out and leaving her quite cold! When we returned, the house was waiting for us in pristine condition. Emily even re-made our bed so that we wouldn't have to after our long day of travel. We feel she went above and beyond our expectations and are so appreciative!”
“Sarah took great care of my dog and gave her exercise every day. I liked receiving photos while I was away to see my dog looked happy. I was able to enjoy being away knowing my house and dog were in good hands. I'll definitely re-book with Sarah in the future.”
“Ryan a perfect animal lover dog/ cat sitter!!! He always kept me up to date and sent pics often;). Bruno got plenty of exercise and my home was left in perfect condition!!! I could not be happier to know my pets were well cared for and to come home to my place in order!”
“First of all, I think it’s so sweet that Natalie’s dad wrote her a review, it definitely made me want to hire her initially. Second of all, Natalie was absolutely AMAZING. We hired her to stay at our house for nine days to take care of our dog and our cat, and she was positively wonderful. We met beforehand I knew upon meeting her that my animals would be in great hands with her. She sent daily updates and frequent pictures. I had never left my animals for that length of time and it was such a relief knowing she was taking such great care of them. I would absolutely hire Natalie again, I wouldn’t even have to think about it. I could not recommend her more highly. I know Obi and Doctor Jones miss her already!”
“Annaliese was the right sitter & my dogs instantly felt comfortable upon meeting her. I received several updates with photos as to how the dogs were doing, she stuck to schedule & instructions I left, and she has positive Energy.”
“John did a terrific job house sitting for us with our dog Ottie. He was responsible and communicative, and kept us well-informed throughout our trip. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”
“Daniel was a fabulous dog and house sitter. He went above and beyond in taking great care of my 16 year old spaniel and kept me up to date with reports amd pictures. I’ll be sure to contact him the next time I need help.”
“Portia was amazing with my puppy, Osiris. She sent me pics and videos throughout thier time together. She was very professional and demonstrated a lot of patience with my high energy puppy. I plan to be a repeat customer 🩷.”
About: Ive had experience with all sorts of animals since I was a young! My heart however has always lied with dogs. Ive lived with, trained, and taken care of dogs from age 15 to now. Ive officially been pet sitting for over a year now, taking odd jobs from friends, and friends of friends, etc. If you'll allow me, I'd love to give your dog my unconditional love and undivided attention. I currently work part time on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. I'm free Mondays, Fridays and Saturdays! I have lots of free time available for your fur baby. I love being outside, especially in the company of some furry friends. I understand that your dog may either be a nature pet or a couch potato, and I'm able to adapt to your pets needs depending on their personality. I'm clean, quiet, and active when need be.
“Ricky "petsat" our elderly dog and 2 cats in our home for 4 nights and they were well taken care of. Our dog requires multiple medications and Ricky was comfortable with administering. He didn't balk at cleaning up little cat puke! He is quick with communicating and sent us photo updates. I felt comfortable that our fur babies were being well cared for. Thank you Ricky.”
“Morgan was amazing!!! She house-sat for us and watched our two dogs and a cat. One of our dogs had had surgery a few weeks prior and was on strict bed rest with several extra meds so I was a little nervous to be leaving her but Morgan did an awesome job and I could tell all the animals were so well taken care of.”
About: We have always had pets growing up and being with animals is my favorite thing! I have two cats of my own, Russell and Ginger, and they are my world. I can’t have a dog in my apartment so I would just love to help you take care of yours! I also have experience with guinea pigs and fish. I work full-time as a nurse and work Monday through Friday 8am-4:30pm. The days I work I am not able to leave to take care of pets but can provide care before and after my shifts. I am free most weekends as well. If I am available, I am more than happy to care for your babies! My big cat is my baby. He is pretty spooked by other animals so I would prefer to not bring other pets into my house. I will be able to walk pets and do house sitting or day time care at a client’s house.
“Short notice trip. Regular sitter was on vacation. Found Emily on Rover. Phone interview followed by meeting at the house to introduce dogs. Emily was PHENOMENAL. Constant updates and photos. She's a keeper!”
