“Nejra did an excellent job taking care of our cats. She was willing to come to our home to meet our cats so we could show her how we feed our diabetic one. Her drop in visits were 12 hours apart as we requested, including administering insulin each visit. She provided detail and photos twice a day and even a video of her petting. I highly recommend Nejra and we will be hiring her again!”
“We highly recommend Austin! He is very flexible and accommodating with our schedule. He performed multiple visits a day while we were out of town watching our black lab Orion. Orion doesn’t meet new people often but he gets along great with Austin now and he has so much fun playing with him! We appreciate all of the great photos while we’re gone as we will definitely schedule Austin again in the future! Thank you!”
“As expected Monica was great taking care of Ney during my vacations providing daily updates and many pictures. It makes me feel relaxed and confident on Ney’s wellbeing. Will book again for any upcoming time away without doubt.”
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”
“Troy was awesome with Asher!! Left very detailed feedback, and got him some much needed exercise during the day while I'm gone. Asher was very tired after, which is the goal! I have no complaints and would recommend to anyone looking to supplement some socialization and exercise for their pets.”
“Another great booking. Arielle is always fantastic and her passion really shows. She is always on time, follows all my demanding requests, and often goes out of her way to make sure everything is ready for my return.”
“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”
“My cat is usually shy and hates strangers, but Lisa took the time to get to know him during drop-in visits. By the end of the week, he was sitting in her lap getting plenty of cuddles! Lisa's Rover Cards were also well-detailed and had lots of pictures. Will be booking again!”
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! Our dog Nova is scared of all strangers. Krystal was so patient and kind to Nova and was able to gain her trust. I highly recommend Krystal to anyone needing someone to care for their dog!!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Harvey! Ali was wonderful to work with! She was on time and sent a picture of our fur baby during drop in.”
“So happy with Hallie’s drop-in visits! She does such an amazing job at taking care of my dogs, always keeping me posted and sending photos! My dogs fully enjoy their time with her, too! Highly recommend Hallie for any of your dog’s needs! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Meagen is very responsive and an excellent communicator. She made an excellent first impression for this first time Rover user. We will definitely use her services again. You should too!”
“Sara is an amazing dog sitter and was a complete joy to work with. She was flexible in scheduling and prompt to all appointments. Our dog loved her. Sara is very trustworthy and would recommended to anyone who is scheduling for the first time.”
About: I’ve been caring for pets for family and friends for much of my life but am new to Rover. I have owned my own dog for 5 years now and have learned a ton about having a dog that requires boundaries and maintenance for triggers of his reactivity. I’ve learned patience and am happy to do that for your furry friends as well! I work from home on Mondays and Fridays which gives me the flexibility to leave for drop-in visits throughout the day and after work! Tuesday-Thursdays can also be arranged if your home is near my office - contact me for details! While I’m unable to care for others’ pets in my own home since my pup prefers human friends, I will care for your pet in any way you need in your own home. I prefer homes where I can let your pet out into a fenced yard but am happy to take pets out on a leash if they are leash trained and/or you prepare me for their behavior.
“Stacey is the best! My dogs loved her from the second they met her. She's very prompt and I don't have to worry about my girls being well taken care of while I can't be home with them! Thank you Stacey!!”
“Ezequiel did drop in visits for my two dogs while I was away for a few days. He has great communication. He was very punctual. He was willing to accommodate my dog who is quite skittish, using my special leash and gate set ups to ensure she did not escape. My Corgi enjoyed him right away. Ezequiel did a great job feeding my dogs who have sensitives, allergies, and not the easiest feeding routine. He offered to wipe the dogs off when they came inside as it was raining nearly the entire time. Would recommend!”
“Nadine came to let my two boys out on Thanksgiving day, I appreciated the fact that she was happy to do it and also said she would come a little earlier as she didn't want them to be too long with out being able to go outside. She was very reliable and made good with my one dog Lewie who is not friendly to strangers. Thank you Nadine and I do hope we can use your services again! Lewie & Tito say thank you for the treats and taking them out for their potty break! Take care, Gail”
