Beth did great with our pups while we were away. I could tell they were comfortable with her right away. She was prompt with the check ins and played with them when she stopped by. She sent pictures and updates often! Would highly recommend :)

We have had Alyssa drop in on our five kitties for many trips over the past four years. She is so thorough and reliable and we can enjoy our vacations knowing that our fur babies are in good hands! Alyssa always keeps us updated with info and pictures which is so reassuring.

About: Hi, I am a stay at home mom of two teenage children and we all love dogs. I also love walks. I try to walk about 10,000 steps a day. Your pet will get plenty of exercise and attention from me. I have taken several lessons and online courses on dog training. I also am very patient. I know your pet is a family member to you and I will treat him as such. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Looking forward to meeting your pet! I am retired so I have plenty time on my hands to do pet care. It has become a hobby for me. I really enjoy it. I cook breakfast and dinner for my dogs at home, they enjoy long walks and also free roam in my big backyard. In my clients home I am respectful of their space while taking good care of them.

If I could leave 10+ stars out of 5; I would! Jordan was amazing and so reassuring! She noticed my dog’s eye was a little red and offered to bring meds for my dog… so thoughtful! To add to her awesomeness, she also was flexible with her schedule and was able to accommodate me when I requested to add another drop in day of. My dogs loved her… it was obvious during our meet and greet and on photos. Will certainly book again and recommend to others.

Very attentive to our dogs routines, and looked for ways to go above and beyond, like washing their dog bowls without even being asked. Our dogs loved him. 10/10 would hire him again.

About: I have been taking car of all kinds of dogs for years. I've watched dogs from Labrador puppies to senior German Shepards. I've owned dogs my whole life and I've always had a special bond with them. Dogs usually gravitate towards me because I am a very fun and light hearted person. My friends often refer to me as a Disney princess because of how I am with animals. I belive all animals need love and respect and I always do my best to make them feel safe and loved. I am a nanny for a mother of three during the day but I am usually only needed two or three days a week so my weekends are completely free. Even days when I watch my kids I am off by 3pm and can spend evenings with the pets. I have several dogs of my own so my house is fully equipped with w fenced in yard and my house is pet safe. In regards to a clients home I would of course check what the client has in place but as a pet owner I am also aware pets can be sneaky and love to get into mischief. I am always checking on clients pets making sure they are safe and not getting into things they shouldn't. I am also certified in pet cpr and massage therapy incase a pet does get into distress or if they need some other help with pain. Over all my priority is always the health and safety of my client beloved pets.

Teresa went above and beyond caring for our cat while we were gone. Our cat was staying hidden at first but by the end of it was excited to see her when she visited. We'll definitely reach out next time we need someone reliable!

Mary was very responsive and friendly. As a first time Rover user, she went above and beyond by answering my questions about the app and general process - which I really appreciated. She took great care of Shadow and kept me informed while I was away. Would recommend and plan to book her services again in the future.

I have in the past had Katelyn care for my cat and dog for weekend trips. I recently had a week-long work training session out of the area. Without hesitation, I booked her to watch over my crew. If you want a pet sitter who you know will take care of your pets, I highly recommend her! She is dependable, and I received regular updates; she was also on time with her visits. But also I knew she treated my crew with the same love and attention as if they were her pets. I knew that when I was away, my crew was in good hands - the best. Highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter.

Rodney has been amazing!! I had to go out of town unexpectedly for an extended period of time and after our first meeting, I knew I’d found someone who would take care of my babies while I was away and I wouldn’t have to worry. He was so communicative and easy to work with and my 3 fluffy kitties were well looked after! As a huge bonus he also helped keep my place clean while I was gone so I didn’t come home to a thick layer of cat hair everywhere (long haired cats are fine aren’t they?). Thank you so much Rodney, you’re the best!!!
