1. Glendon Y.
“Glendon gave us continuous updates with pic and videos of our happy pups. They were relaxed and well taken care of. Glendon cares for animals and makes us feel reassured when we are away. Will definitely book with him again.”
2. Jazlynne W.
“Jazlynne took great care of our cat. She was great at communicating and sent lots of photos and updates. I would definitely recommend Jazlynne.”
3. Maggie S.
“Maggie was great with our cats. Super responsive and a great problem solver. House was well taken care of and the cats weren’t anxious upon our return.”
4. Alyson B.
“Alyson and her husband took our two dogs into their home when our scheduled dog sitter canceled at the last minute. This allowed our family to continue with our planned kayak tour while we were vacationing in Bar Harbor. Although this could have been a very stressful situation, Alyson made the situation stress free. From the minute we met Alyson, her husband, and their dog Maggie, we felt comfortable. They were so sweet to us and our dogs. Alyson was a great communicator and sent pictures so that we could see that our dogs were safe and happy. Our pups were excited to make new friends, and we were grateful that we did not have to cancel our kayak adventure. It was a win, win. I would not hesitate to have Alyson watch my dogs again. I can't recommend her enough.”
5. Nicole F.
“Nicole was great. Bella was happy to see us when we got back, but not stressed at all. It was a huge relief to us to have someone we trusted watching her while I took my husband to the hospital for an outpatient procedure. Turned out well all the way around and I would use her again.”
6. Bohni K.
“We are very appreciative of the care and love Bohni gave to our sensitive little guy. She was very respectful of our home as well. We were very happy to have found her. Highly recommend Bohni.”
7. Tiana T.
“Tiana was absolutely fabulous! Professional. Personable. Intuitive. Our young pugs had the absolute best time with Tania. She bonded with them instantly and them with her. Due to their bond, Mademoiselle and Captian (sister and brother), were very responsive and attentive to Tania. She took them on numerous daily outings such as: Little Long Pond; Pretty Marsh; Blue Horizon; and a hiking trail within walking distance from our home. Returning from our ten day trip, we were greeted by our two very happy little furbabies. Our home was immaculate (cleaner than when we left), bed linens, etc. were laundered and folded. Our plants looked better then ever and all our mail was organized neatly on our dining room table. To boot, early on in our trip, I needed help from Tania to put together an order placed on my Etsy shop. Having no experience in doing so, however, in no time Tania processed and shipped the order. Tania is truly exceptional.”
8. David R.
“David is a reliable sitter that takes great care in his clients. My dog always comes back tired from walks and he is able to administer medicine to both the cats and dog.”
9. Jasmine S.
“Jasmine was so sweet and caring with Kiwi. Kiwi has some special needs, she has separation anxiety and is in the beginning stages of degenerative myelopathy. Jasmine took great care of Kiwi and even got her through a thunderstorm. We are so glad that Jasmine became Kiwi's friend. Jasmine is patient and her demeanor is so cool and collected. We are very thankful for Jasmine keeping Kiwi safe and loved.”
10. Kirsten H.
“Kirsten did an amazing job watching our dogs! They loved her and she provided diligent, attentive care to them. Our dogs aren’t easy, from daily meds to allergies, they can be a lot to take care of and Kirsten managed it all perfectly. She kept us very well informed while we were gone, sending lots of photos and updates. She also was very neat and clean while she stayed over. I would recommend Kirsten highly to anyone seeking a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter! We are so grateful to her and can’t wait to use her services again!”
11. Jim G.
“Jim was a phenomenal sitter for our 2 dogs & 1 cat and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again. It was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our pets for an extended period of time, but Jim's diligence in getting to know our pets and their routine quickly put us at ease. He stayed at our home with our two golden retrievers and our tabby cat for two weeks while we went to Europe. This is the first time I have been on a vacation with no worries about our pets. Jim kept the routine they knew & liked and in fact, I think they probably had more fun with Jim than they do with us most days :-) He brought them for long walks and hikes and adventures. They were calm and relaxed when we returned and it was as if we never left. Our house and yard was well cared for also. Thank you Jim!”

13. Chassity H.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was young. As well as many farm animals. I just separated from the military and kind of wanting to do something that makes me happy for a while. Which is getting to love on all the fur babies. I can give medicine as I have been treating my pup now for a few years. I can also take them for walks if wanted. Pretty free schedule wise just please schedule a week in advance. As far as the weekly routine if I’m booked I will be with your pups as long as you’d want me there to entertain them. Would love to discuss house rules before hand, such as are they allowed on the furniture, what are feeding times, do they get crated at night? I would also like to do a meet and greet before as well, that way they have met me and im not just a new person to them while their people are gone.
