Grace was punctual. She immediately started working with the dogs and made them feel comfortable as if she had been with them for years. We were pleased with everything that was asked of her. Highly recommended.

Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!

Not enough good things to say about Nicole. This was the 2nd time she sat for us and the second review I'm writing. She is very dedicated, passionate, caring, and respectful to us and our fur babies. She goes above and beyond, she put our needs before her own and she left the house immaculate. Our pups have not been the easiest but she takes very good care of them. Looking forward to our next travel to have her care for our dogs.

About: I have had corgis, very pushy dogs, my entire life. I have had puppies and elder dogs and have taken care of them and walked them through it all. I work more in the afternoon and night as a an employee at Plato’s closet and hopefully a waitress at Industry Public so my availability is more in the mornings! I am always ready to play with the dogs or just cuddle with them! Whether that be playing or laying, I will keep the dogs comfortable no matter what!

About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪

Karen was awesome! She stayed at the house during the recent snow storm and she went above and beyond. We didn't have to worry about a thing. Beckett was sad to see her go. We will definitely be using her again.

This was my first time using Rover and I am glad that I booked with Cassandra! I was nervous to use the app at first but after meeting her and her family I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with her while I went out of town. I could tell right away that she is very knowledge about dogs and my puppy Mia loved her and her family! She sent updates and pictures which was really nice as well. I would definitely book with Cassandra again!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs so I know how to take care of them and keep them on a routine. I’m used to walks, feeding, and playtime, and I’m good with different personalities. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they’re happy and safe! 🐶😊 I’m a student athlete so my schedule can vary, but I have a lot of flexibility during the day and evenings. I’m active and used to being on a routine, so I can fit walks and care in easily. I’m very used to being around dogs and understanding their behavior. I’ll follow any instructions you leave closely, keep your dog on their normal routine, and make sure they feel comfortable and safe. I’m attentive and won’t cut corners when it comes to care.

Needed someone to watch our dog for a couple of hours so we could take our son out to dinner for his birthday. We are from out of town so we had no idea where to start. Enter Rover.com and Erin. She was able to sit him while we went out and a plus she lived only 2 miles from our chosen restaurant. Ziggy took to her right away and enjoyed his stay. she's a wonderful woman and I would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you Erin and Rover.com

About: Ever since I can remember I’ve been around animals! When I was born, there were cats and a dog in the house. I was responsible for my own dog, a brindle boxer, from the age of twelve, and took great care of her, cleaning up after her, and taking her for runs and walks all the time. Before her, my family had a golden retriever that we loved with all our hearts. I even had four turtles from the age of 7 through 19. I’ve got plenty of experience taking care of animals! I currently have a variable schedule where I work two to three days a week, some days 3-4 hours, sometimes the whole day from 8-3pm. It just depends. However, even on the full days I have time during lunch for quick puppy bathroom breaks, and plenty of time after work for walks or runs. I can crate your pup if needed, and I live in an apartment complex with a little dog park if they need some socializing! In regards to walks, I usually do these in the evening once it starts to cool down a bit so the fur babies don’t overheat. I can take them on short runs too so they can get all the exercise they’d need!

Grace was great with our Athena. Made it easy to go on vacation knowing she was taken care of. She sent photos and babied her like I would.
