Nancy is fabulous! Our little Buster took to her like she was family! She took such good care of him while we were gone for a long weekend. So thankful for her and felt grateful to have someone as loving and caring as her to stay with our little 3 month old Shih Tzu.

Gabriel is an amazing sitter. I had a last minute booking and he was very responsive helped make it go smoothly. Newton is always excited to see him and I know it is because of the care and attention he gets in Gabriel's care.

Izabelle went above and beyond for us. We needed a dogsitter for our wedding day, and she brought our dog to our venue and watched him the rest of the night. Harvey absolutely loves her and it was comforting to know he was well taken care of. I can’t recommend Izabelle enough!

About: I have owned dogs my entire life I am well educated in their body language and needs. I also frequently volunteer at my local animals shelter so I have experience with shy, senior, young etc. I am currently in school for biochemistry with no other job. This means as soon as I get done with class the rest of the day is devoted to your pet! I am willing to follow what ever instructions you have for your pet! All animals have widely different personalities and needs. As long as you provide explicit instructions, I can follow them exactly!

Teagan housesat for our very active 15 month old lab/coonhound mix. Bella can keep you on your toes but Teagan did a great job with her. She communicated with us daily and sent pics. We felt much better being gone knowing Bella was in good hands!

Anthony and Mackenzie were great! We loved getting all the photos and videos of our pups enjoying their sleepover with their new friends and the pups really seemed to enjoy their weekend. They are so relaxed and exhausted that we know they had a great time. Would definitely use these guys again!

Treva is one of the best dog/house sitters we’ve had and we have used multiple Rover sitters in the past. We have an elderly dog with mobility issues that I was concerned about and she kept me posted and sent multiple pictures frequently which I requested. She spent the most time with our dogs than any other sitters we’ve had. She also went above and beyond with our house. The only downside is one of my dogs won’t even look at me she’s so mad I’m not Treva 🤣! Highly, highly recommend. We will definitely be using her again! Thank you from Kim, Bart, Ebony, Yoda and especially Bree ❤️!

Yasmin went above and beyond and took my kitten Sir Snuggles to the vet when he was not feeling well (with my approval) when I was on travel abroad. She even got the vet on the phone at the appointment to talk to me. She was fantastic - and Snuggs is all better now thanks to her help.

Erin stayed with our dog Bingo while we were on a recent trip. She did a wonderful job! Erin sent periodic updates via text message to keep us up to date on how things were going. Bingo loved her and was very well taken care of. The house was clean when we arrived home and she even watered our house plants! Thank you Erin!!

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I know how to handle extra-large breeds as well as small breeds. I even know how to handle senior dogs and puppies. I currently have a dog and a cat I am responsible for caring for. I take care of my cat full-time and the dog I take care of when I go home. I am responsible for feeding them and cleaning up after them. My dog I will take on walks and play with her. I would make sure they have water and an adequate amount of food. I also ensure their litter box is cleaned if it is a cat. If it were a dog I would take them out for a walk or into to back yard for them to go to the bathroom.

Erin was so sweet, caring and energetic. She was amazing with my cat and dog while we were out of town. She came over for a meet and greet a few days before and my dog was obsessed with her. We were so pleased with her care and she went above and beyond for them, she sent us updates and photos throughout the day. I definitely recommend Erin if you are looking for someone to be reliable and care for your pets when you’re away!

Brian was a fantastic sitter with Tito! He double checked on things if he wasn’t sure. Pictures of Tito’s days with Brian were great and assured us Tito was in good hands. Great notes were left after his stay. We will definitely have Brian stay with Tito again! Thank you Brian for taking such great care of Tito!

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing Chloe was! It was our first time leaving our babies with a sitter. We knew the moment she arrived for our M&G, that she was going to be the right fit! She was great with the the pets! The house looked amazing when we got home. Fairly certain our “youngest child” thought we got her her own personal human. Lol. I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Chloé!! We just she doesn’t get too busy when word gets out. But seriously, you can’t go wrong with Chloé!!
