Luie was fantastic. It was our first time using anyone from Rover but we are so happy we got Luie. Our dog is a sweetheart but is also incredibly stubborn especially when her schedule is thrown off and her pack is missing. He did great with her while we were gone. He sent lots of pictures and videos showing how happy she was. He also was very patient and calm despite a blizzard blowing through the day before we were coming back. He made sure he would be able to extend his time with our pup just in case. Luckily we were still able to come back as scheduled. Despite the snow he made sure to shovel out space and still took our dog out for walks. We are so grateful for Luie being dependable and allowing us to step away for our vacation. We look forward to using him again in the future.

About: Pets have been such a major part of my life. I grew up with dogs and cats all my life and love spending time with all animals. I enjoy taking the dogs for walk and enjoying the fresh air. Loving and caring for animals is a part of my life and something i enjoy doing. I care for animals as if they were my own and will do what is needed to make sure you pets are taken great care of. I want to make sure i meet all of your expectations and make sure you and your pets are happy. I strive to build bonds with the animals and understand the pets as best as i can. I can’t wait to meet your pets and spend time with them. I currently am a full time assistant manager in Rehoboth beach, but i can always make time to walk or play with any pet I’m watching. I live in an apartment building, so i don’t have any fenced in areas but there is plenty of room too pls and walk. There are also dog friendly parks in the area

Kaci was very responsive to my concerns, especially about my old dog, Red. Red is 14 years old with painful arthritis and I know I'm going to lose her sometime soon. So my anxiety levels were high upon leaving her. Kaci sent me photos of my three dogs every day to reassure me that they were doing well. I really appreciated her care of my fur babies. It's been a tough year and my dogs are my major source of joy and love. Kaci took very good care of them.

Majiyah was amazing while I was away. I was a little hesitant at first about having a house sitter stay in my home, but she made me feel completely comfortable. She took great care of my dog and my home, and she really went above and beyond. When she thought he may have had a food allergy, she took the time to cook his food and make sure he was okay. She also took him to get a bath, picked up extra dog treats for him, and even cleaned my home before I got back. I noticed that my dog quickly became comfortable with her during her stay, which is always a positive sign. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, cared for, and in good hands. I would definitely recommend Majiyah to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring sitter!

About: My wife and I love being with our dogs, we have 3 adopted dogs and 1 dog we received as a newborn puppy, and love meeting other owners and their pets. We take our dogs for walks at our lovely park across the street or to the dog park to let them run free with the other dogs. We also have a 5 acre yard for any animal to do what they please. We take our dogs on hikes on the red rock trails, have lots of toys for them to play with, spoil them with the right amount of dog treats. We have a specialized dog food brand we use and cook our dogs fresh meat for them to eat, they don't seem to mind.

We are so pleased with the experience we had with Chelsea. She was great about keeping us informed about how our pups were doing. She texted us and sent us pictures every day while we were out of town. We would definitely recommend Chelsea for anyone looking for someone to care for their pups.
