Isabelle was great! She sent amazing pictures & my pets were so happy when I got home. As a fellow Rover sitter, I struggle to find sitters who go the extra mile the way I do - but I have a friend in her :)

Aimee did a great job taking good care of our puppy! She is very kind and passionate. She played very well with our puppy, brought him to potty, prepared food and water for him. Our puppy had a lot of fun.

Mark was MORE THAN WONDERFUL!!! I’m usually a worry wart when leaving my cats or dog, but Mark really put my mind at ease. I knew my sweet babies were in good hands. He followed on instructions to a tee, asked questions for clarification, and sent us many, many pictures of our pets. I missed my 3 cats so much, but Mark made leaving them a little easier by taking such thorough care of them. We will not hesitate to book with Mark again in the future.

Brandon was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a natural connection with dogs—Luna and Rosie were completely at ease with him in a way we rarely see with others. It honestly felt like having a true dog whisperer in our home. He was punctual, professional, and carried himself with a calm confidence that made the entire experience effortless. Knowing how our dogs typically react to new people, this level of comfort and trust meant everything to us. We would absolutely book Brandon again without hesitation, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, intuitive, and genuinely gifted with animals.

About: Most of my experience was from growing up with my cockapoo Casey. He made me realize how much I enjoyed the company of dogs, and it made me more than happy to help family and friends with looking after their own pets when they would be away. I always want to make sure they're kept loved and appreciated and would do my best to make it feel like their routine is the same as it always is. Since I currently have a part-time job from home, I have the flexibility to take care of pets during the day for any food or potty breaks, as well as availability during the afternoon and evening to give dogs the love and attention they need. I live in a home without a fence, however we live in a neighborhood that makes for easy walking. There is also space indoors for dogs to run around and play with toys, which my previous cockapoo would do all the time.

Ever since bringing home our high-energy working dog, we have really limited traveling, as kennels and day cares do not work for us. McKenzie is truly amazing! This is the first vacation where we were completely relaxed and felt at ease about leaving both of our dogs. McKenzie did send daily updates, was responsive, sent pictures/videos and handled medications. She was able to handle both my high energy 100 lb dog and my senior dog’s needs, as well. I am so very grateful for this experience and for being able to completely enjoy a trip for the first time in 3 years.

About: My family has raised dogs since I was young. With the last two dogs (and especially our newest), I've been responsible for at-home training (house-training, walking, commands) and taking care of their needs. In general, I have 3.5 hour night classes Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, and a 2 hour class Friday morning. Otherwise, my schedule is pretty open. I would love to chat about any further needs of your dog. Dogs can be pretty different from each other, so how I interact with your dog will depend on their needs and yours. As a general rule, I'm pretty affectionate with dogs but can be more distant if you or your dog prefer that.

Our original sitter canceled the day before our trip, and we were so relieved that Brittany was available last minute. She arranged a meet and greet the same day we reached out and started the booking the very next day. She took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for three days and sent regular updates. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!

Ke'vin was very flexible with scheduling when we had to find someone quickly to leave town for a family emergency. With little notice, he came to our house for a first meeting and then started the next day for a overnight sitting service for five days. Our senior dog is always afraid of new people but Ke'vin sent videos of her and it's clear she warmed up quickly to him and really liked him. He gave her meds with no issue. I'm glad we found Ke'vin on Rover!

We couldn’t have had a better experience with Yulija! She offered a meet and greet before the stay, followed our instructions carefully, and left our house in perfect condition. She went above and beyond sending photos and videos frequently throughout our booking too. Yulija was especially great with our dog who is extremely anxious and slow to warm up to people. We’ll be booking again for all future trips. Can’t recommend enough!

About: Hey there! As a dog mom, I have a long history of taking care of my own fluffy beasts and pets, starting from a young age. It was my aspiration to become a veterinarian. I began taking care of my families dogs when they became busy. I have experience dealing with sick animals, specifically those prone to seizures, administering medications, injections, and comforting them. I also have experience training lovely, energetic puppies. If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I currently work part-time as a photographer, so my schedule can change depending on that. I'm always open to mornings and lunch times, but please check my current schedule for a more detailed description. I always adhere to the safety measures implemented by the owner(s) of the household and will follow any directions given to walk your pup.

This is my third time having Krystal take care of my senior kitty who has some medical issues and needs extra loving care. As always, Krystal gave my kitty exceptional care, going above and beyond! My kitty loves Krystal! And she cleaned my house, it was cleaner than I left it! Krystal, I can’t say thank you enough, especially stepping in last minute!!

I don’t even want to post this review as I don’t want Hailey to be all booked up when I need her, but she’s awesome. My dogs loved her. She’s so good with them, gets all the details of what they need right and really cares about them. If you book with her, you will not be disappointed. You’ll also get lots of videos and photos so you can see how happy they are!!

Paige is awesome! She came and house sat for my puppy while I was busy with school orientation. I originally booked her for 3 days and ended up rebooking her for 2 more because she was so great. She was super flexible, made me feel totally at ease, and handled my puppy’s bitey behavior like a pro. Highly recommend!
