Syl was great with our senior dog. I didn’t scare her off with a long list of instructions for our 17 year old or when I told her we wouldn’t have cell service. I was nervous about the trip but she was competent & reassuring. We will definitely use her in the future!

Shawna is fantastic! She has watched my dog for me on several occasions when I had to go out of town. She sends photos and is great about making me feel comfortable being away, and my dog LOVES her! I will definitely use Shawna in the future!

Neil would be an excellent caregiver for pets. He loves animals as if they were his own children. I have witnessed him care for his pets like they were his own kids and he would go to the end of the world for his pets and for others also. He is also an excellent trainer of pets. He has a nice park very close to his house that he takes his dog to daily for walks and training sessions. Neil would be very trustworthy and reliable with your pet. You can count on him.

About: I love all dogs more than anything in this world! I met my first soulmate when I got my dog, Patches, who I still have and is currently 5 years old. I can train dogs, any type of training you can think of. And you can ensure this place as a safe haven for your furry friend while here at the Hilton! 😝 I’m currently working at UPS as a seasonal support delivery driver. But it’s only temporary until after the new year. I do work Monday-Saturday right now but i leave my house around 9:30-10 and am always home by 3:00 p.m. But while im gone there will always be another person here to watch after your dog, i.e., my dad, or my mom. I have a big fenced in yard. It is an 8 ft chain link fence so they will get plenty of exercise. I have 2 dogs that can keep your furry friend company! But if you’re dog isn’t really into other dogs, I do have a seperate area that’s just as big and also fenced in with an 8 ft Chain link fence all around! So they could either be with my dogs or seperate from my dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I also have experience working with exotic animals such as kangaroos and camels. Anything a dog may need I’m happy to give. Dogs are like family, I consider mine my children. I currently work at a safari park and own a horse boarding facility. So I will be available to provide for the dogs almost all day. And when I’m not there they’ll have a large fenced backyard to enjoy. I have a well fenced in back yard with shelter from the elements. If the need arises they will be brought in to either my home or the barn for their safety.

Skyler was great with Stacy and easy to coordinate with. He was able to meet with Stacy and I before his first sitting with her, and all went well in his care. I will definitely be reaching out to him again for drop offs and for overnight trips.

Wife and i left for a month long trip through Spain... person we had set up to watch the cat had to cancel at the last minute so we grabbed Kaylea through rover.com - could not be happier. Cat is as happy as a cat possibly can be, we're happy, cat is fed, litter box is clean, she even plays with Miley when she's there. Will definitely hire again!

About: I spend majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs I watch. I grew up showing and competing with my families dogs in all kinds of dogs sports! I current have a few of my own dogs that LOVE to have visitors! Your dog(s) are integrated into my family during their stay. Couch and cuddle time is always included! I also currently volunteer at a dog training facility and am always learning and adding to my knowledge base. I love having different dogs around and welcome any size of dog from under 10lbs to over 150lbs I work fulltime during the week but its only a few minutes from my house. I come home every day at lunch for 45 mins and let the dogs out to run and go potty. So they will never be left in a crate or room for more than 4 hrs max. I have a fenced in back yard for them to potty and run around in. Any dog that is in my house is integrated into the family. If I am home the dogs are out and get just as much couch and cuddle time as my personal dogs. All of my dogs are very well accustomed to having visiting dogs around. I also have a system if you have a dog thats not super dog friendly as I have a separate room that they can stay in and I will rotate my dogs and your dog(s) to accommodate that.

At some times i’m our lives brooklyn has had to house sit for my mom and had to watch after our animals and did a fabulous job taking care of the animals while also maintaining a clean environment and home.

Lydia is absolutely amazing and most caring woman I know. She's fostering a very special needs dog at our shelter and not only did she open her home and heart, she's went above and beyond for him and all of our dogs here. She is always happy to spend her time with them, never rushing around. She just enjoys the dogs and they really enjoy her coming to visit. She's probably the only person I would trust to care for my pets if I were unable to. Just the perfect dedication and love every dog should be so lucky to have.

We have known Destiny she she was a little girl. Destiny has always had a love of animals. She had cared for a lot of our pets. Destiny will make sure they receive exceptional care that they need. She will love them and treat them like her own. All of her pets she currently has she rescued. Opie was a stray, Opal was adopted thru the Humane Society. She took both of them in and showed them love, affection and the care they needed. Most recently she took in one of her friends Dogs. Her friend was unable to keep him due to relocating. Achilles is a full blood German Shepard. She cares for him and has showed him love & takes care of all his needs. She has a heart of gold for animals and any pet and their human will have a positive experience with Destiny.

Abby is an AMAZING dog sitter. She takes care of our two large dogs in our house whether we are out of state for a week, gone for the weekend or in Europe for 3 weeks. We trust her implicitly and the dogs just adore her. We first met Abby a few years ago when she found one of our dogs that was wandering loose. Abby called, kept our dog safe and returned her to us. We are thrilled to have found her because she has been our personal dog sitter ever since. She communicates clearly and gives wonderful updates. She is reliable and punctual. She is incredible with the dogs. She is conscientious and kind. You can tell she enjoys working with dogs and truly cares for our dogs. She is also an incredible house guest. I am positive my house is always in better shape than I left it for her. You can't go wrong with, Abby! She is one of the best.
