Erin was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with to set up the booking, asked plenty of questions to make sure Diablo and I were taken care of, and sent me picture and video updates of them enjoying each other's company. If possible, I will book her again in the future!

Damian was great! He was very attentive and respectful of all of our pets’ needs. One of our dogs got sick while we were away and he took wonderful care of her and informed us of everything we needed to know. I felt bad he had to deal with a sick dog but he was very understanding, caring, and patient with her the entire time. I would definitely recommend Damian and we’d for sure have him return to our house as well!

My husband and I were super hesitant to have a stranger come stay in our home to take care of our dogs. Alexa’s profile really stood out when we hesitantly reviewed profiles on Rover, not only because she has such great reviews, but so many people rebook her. We can see why! Before booking she came out to meet all of us to ensure that we felt comfortable. She showed up exactly when she said she would, was communicative and sent pictures while we were away, and left our home just as we had left it. We will absolutely hire her again in the future. We know she made our boys much more comfortable than they would have been boarding.

About: I have cared for a variety of animals since I was 8; I have owned and cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, and sheep. Additionally, I have cared for cats, dogs, and reptiles of others since age 10, including administering medication. I pride myself on being kind, attentive, and respectful towards all animals. I specialize in animals who need gentle and/or quiet attention. I currently work 8am-5pm M-F with some evening events at a local University. I am able to provide care and feeding before and after work. On the weekends I am generally available all day. In my own home I have a cat who needs a quiet and gentle approach. I am happy to adjust my approach to whatever needs your home and pet(s) need.

We came home to happy pups and a spotless house - such a great feeling. Highly recommend and would 100% book with her again!!

Hannah was able to help on short notice when I had to unexpectedly extend a trip due to illness. She asked lots of questions to make sure she was on top of everything, especially since we weren't able to do a usual meet and greet in advance. She kept me informed about the pets during her entire stay. Her willingness to be flexible and communicative made an awful situation less stressful.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 11. I recently had to let my two girls go, so I’m looking forward to loving on your babies. I have experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. Both of my girls needed medication towards the end, so I’m familiar with administering pills on a schedule and anything else that goes with owning a senior dog. My oldest had dementia, so if your pup has that, I can handle the quirks that come with that. I’ve also watched my friends bigger dogs, and they love just as much cuddles as the little ones do. Taking your fur baby out for walks, cuddling with them, and playing with their favorite toys would bring so much joy. You’ll have peace of mind (and updates) if you let me take care of them like you would. I am a teacher, so during the weekends and summer I have all the time to spoil your precious baby. Being a teacher also means I can spend extended time with your pet during the summer. I’m very good at following schedules and routines to help make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will love on them, play with them, and do anything else you need so both of you feel relaxed while you’re at work or on a trip.

Emma was FANTASTIC with our two little guys (dogs), one is a Maltese and the other is a mini Golden Doodle. Usually, they do not eat at least the first day and usually not for two or three days if we leave them with someone, which has always been people our dogs know and love. Not so with Emma; she was able to get them to eat their first meal and every meal thereafter. You could tell by the pictures, etc. that they were happy and enjoying her in our home, where she stayed with them for a week . . . in our home overnight that is. When we returned, of course, our pups were very happy to see us (almost overwhelmingly so) but it was a true telltale sign when they ran to the bedroom door where Emma stayed, and they started to whimper when they realized she wasn't there. We will definitely be using Emma again in the future. I recommend her without hesitation or reservation to watch your pets/family.

Brieana is the best! We are very thankful to have her taking care of our Zeke. This time he got sick and she contacted us right away. She followed our instructions to help him get better quickly. Brieana also offered to take him to the vet, luckily he didn’t have to go. We feel at ease leaving Zeke with Brieana knowing that he will be spoiled, loved and well cared for.

We loved having Abi care for our pups for several days. She was frequently in communication with us, sent lots of pictures, and was honest about our dogs temperament and needs (especially since we have an older dog that more recently had surgery). Our dogs clearly looked happy and well cared for when we came home. Thank you!

Naja took great care of our 2 dogs and our home while we were on vacation. She sent frequent updates and was comfortable asking questions and informing us of the dogs' behaviour in aour absence. The biggest comment my wife and I have upon our return is that the house was clean and tidy, and the dogs were calm and happy. They had a bond with Naja that was clearly evident even in our presence upon our return. I think that is the true sign of the caring petsitter that Naja is. We would absolutely recommend her and will hope to use her services again.
