“Ashley was very easy to communicate with and our dog loved her. She was prompt and on time and sent pictures and detailed visit notes each time. This was a first for us using a dog sitter instead of a kennel and it was so easy and convenient.”
“Very nice sitter. My 3?dogs intimidated her. But my neighbor helped her get them out of cages w/o growling. My Lab mix Us 84 pounds! Lol! I suggest we see each other again so the next time they will listen better. She did a phenomenal job . I will use HER AGAIN! Stephanie L Jackson”
“Lillian was very helpful with my animals. She was on time for each visit and did some extra playing with my animals which I really appreciate she communicated with me very well if she wasn’t sure about anything, but she did an amazing job and my animals loved her. Definitely will be booking with her again.😊😊😊😊😊”
“Melissa was a lifesaver! We were already out of town when our planned pup-sitter had to unexpectedly cancel the morning of! I had never used Rover but had no other options and I’m just so glad I did! I requested an immediate visit and Melissa was right on it! Within the hour I had pics of my doggo living her best life and the text communication was beyond what I could’ve imagined. I was updated when she accepted our request, when she was on her way, multiple times while she was here during her 30 minute visit, and when she was heading out. I was so at peace knowing my girl was being loved on and taken care of even by a complete stranger who I just felt so comfortable with from the very beginning. Will absolutely request Melissa’s services again! So so grateful!”
“Crystal is awesome, always flexible and timely. She does a great job with the Rover card explaining what the animals did or she did with her visit and she takes plenty of pictures. 10/10 highly recommend!”
About: I have cared for different animals over the last 9 years or so. I have cared for dogs, cats, pigs and chickens and love doing so! I currently homeschool Monday through Thursday and also clean a house once a week. With that being said, I normally have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to go feed and water the animals and spend time with them. I can send pictures of the animals to the owners and give them peace knowing their animals are being loved and cared for.
About: I've been working with animals since I was 8 on a horse farm and since then I became a certified dog trainer, equine & canine sports massage therapist.

“Helene showed up on time and took great care of our family which consists of cats and dogs. The drop in visit gave our family the break and attention they needed. I have used Helene a few times and I will continue to use her.”

“Cheryl watched our cat while we left her alone for the first time, and she gave us peace of mind while we were away. I hope she’s available to watch her again during our next trip!”
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: I have had dogs in the past giving me good one on one time with dogs but I've also pet sit for family and friends. From dog and cat to lizards and bunnies I've pet sit for all. I'm currently trying to go back to school and my part time job is just not gonna get me there. I'm just trying to help a family that needs help. I've found clients feel more at easy when I pet sit in their home which I completely understand. This is my first time on this app so I don't know what to expect on here but in the past I've had clients make me a list of what they need done with their pets. Water, food and a walk to use the restroom or for exercise is the common one but I've also been asked to bath them. Which if asked by a client I'm not against bathing the pets.

Ivanhoe cat parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke was SUCH a great sitter for my cats! I have a total of 5 and she took care of them with such love! She asked about toys and treats and where to food and litter box was before coming so that made me feel at ease! She followed all the care and instructions I left. She stayed for a good while and played with my babies and sent me so many pictures! It made my heart so warm and happy knowing I left them in such great care! She even brought treats for them!! Just went above and beyond! I will ABSOLUTELY be booking her again and you should too!! ❤️
