“We had a definite need for a reliable sitter who could take our 3 cats into her home, medicate two of them including with injections for insulin and other meds for an extended period of time (nearly two weeks), and Chigorzirim provided that to us. Because of the sensitivity of our cats, we also appreciated that she only accepts one client at a time as she describes. She followed through the schedule that I prepared for when to medicate 2 of our 3 cats as needed, and we appreciated her time on keeping us informed and sent along pictures. We are planning some future travel later this year and would look to her to help us with our cats.”
“Best experience! Katie and Carmen are very accommodating and easy to work with, plus they’re fun. It’s clear that they really enjoy animals and my quirky little dog sure loves them. After a lengthy stay, he still wasn’t ready to go back home! I am happy to have found a great sitter and will be choosing them every time!”


“Susan and her sweet family always take such great care of Charlie! They treat him as if he were their own and I think he'd rather live there. Ha!”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Cameron gave our 2 dogs while we were out of town. He was especially great at problem solving and working with us when they seemed homesick. We came home to happy, well cared for pups. Highly recommend!”


“Crissy was super great and provided a comfortable home and stay for my pup! really appreciated her checking in (as it was my first rover experience) and her flexibility!”

About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a child and have years of experience with various breeds. I work from home most days and happy to get active with the doggos. I have a loving a cuddly home and treat all my fur guests as family. As someone with a senior dog, I am very patient and know how to accommate the additional needs some pets may have. With my flexible work from home schedule, I am able to be home during the week, to take your dog out for walks, potty breaks, cuddle, and to play. I am also available on weekends. With the exclusion of running errands, while your dog is with me, they will never be left alone for more than a few hours extended amount of time. I have a fenced in back yard for your dog to run free in. I also have a senior chihuahua who is very chill and unbothered, so as long as your dog likes other dogs, they will get along just fine. I do let dogs sit on the couch and get on the bed, however, I will respect that boundary if you do not allow that for your pets. I know all families have different schedules for potty and feeding times, and my schedule is flexible so I can keep your dog on track even while you are gone.
“Abigail was amazing! We needed a last minute dog sitter. She was super quick to respond and was glad to help. We were gone for a couple days. She was very communicative, sending us updates and photos throughout. Abigail clearly has a love for animals and knowledge about caring for dogs. We’re so grateful for her accommodating our last minute request and would highly recommend her to other potential clients.”


“Laura was the absolute best! Took in my anxious big baby pittie and loved him from the first second. My boy seemed so comfortable and Laura provided pictures, videos and updates during my 24 hours away from Blue. I couldn't be happier or have asked for a better person to care for my boy 💙🩵”

“Ashley D was amazing for Bentley. A no kennel option was the only way for us and Bentley slept peacefully in a home with other playmates and a great dog sitter. This was the first time I had used Rover and despite user error on my part, Ashley was so kind and patient with me learning the platform!”

“Alaniz is very sweet and takes great care of my dog! It’s a peace of mind to find great loving care while we are away. My dog gets extremely excited every time he sees Alaniz 💕Awesome care!”

“Outlaw and Lola were well taken care of and had a great staycation. They made me feel at ease and treated the pups like family. Thanks for that. It’s important to me and the only way I can enjoy my time off. We will be back.”
“Rachel is excellent. Communication was quick, consistent, and very detailed. I loved her sweet updates and knowing my lil guy was in good hands. We had a canceled flight that resulted in an unexpected delay in our planned pick up. Rachel was extremely kind and able to accommodate us in our time of need. She is absolutely great!”

“Rachel & Rhiannon were so easy to work with and provided great care for Keely while we were gone. The updates and pictures helped ease our minds so we could relax and enjoy our trip. We could tell Keely was relaxed and comfortable when we picked her up. We’ll us them again when we’re in the area!”

“This was our third time leaving our dog with Lona and Alan. She's now spent nearly 20 days in their care over the course of the three trips and I know each day she was taken care of wonderfully. I Would recommend them in a heartbeat!”

Anna was absolutely outstanding! She took such great care of my precious chihuahua, my SweetPea. Anna sent me pictures of SweetPea while I was on vacation for a week. She is a wonderful dog sitter, and I will definitely use her care taking skills again. I recommend her highly!
We are so thankful to have found Amanda C. to watch Sassy, the little doggy we love. Amanda gave Sassy lots of love, care, fun and and room to run. Amanda's cat and Sassy are now best friends! She sent pictures and videos that made us laugh. It was easy to relax and know that Sassy was receiving the highest quality of attention and care. If it had been up to Sassy, she would have stayed longer with her new-found friends! Thanks, Amanda! We'll see you again!
