“Andrea stayed at our house and watched the sogs over a ling weekend. She gave us updates on the pets, was on time, met with us before she watched the dogs and asked great queations about their routines. I will for sure use her again if we need a dog or cat sitter.”

“This was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience! Allison took great care of our house and our dog. She was responsive (sent lots of cute photos of our dog), followed the care instructions we left, and left our home in great shape! We are so happy that we found someone trustworthy to watch our dog. We look forward to having Allison stay with our dog in the future. We definitely recommend booking with Allison!”

“We had a pretty last minute trip come up and our usual sitter (my best friend) was unavailable. Victoria helped us out a ton with accepting my request and she went above and beyond caring for my pets. We have two large dogs and three active orange cats who are used to having someone home 24/7 so I hired her for house-sitting service. She took the dogs on multiple walks, brought in packages for me, and kept me extremely updated with pictures. I could not have asked for a better first experience on rover and would highly recommend Victoria to anyone! We sadly had to cut our trip short but the animals will be excited for us to go on another, and I feel happy knowing they will be taken great care of.”

“Yasmin was very studious with my puppies. She was not afraid to communicate with me. She did a great job letting me know the dogs were being taken care of. highly recommend her.”

About: ***For boarding/house-sitting I have an 11lb Havanese in my home who will be with me for any bookings*** I live and work downtown (full-time remote). I can host your pet overnight in my home; stay overnight in your home if needed. Pop-in visits to provide breaks, walks, feeding if you live within a reasonable distance. I can also provide day care services if needed. I do not have a crate but bringing your own crate is optional but not required. House broken/trained is preferred. I prefer to host 1 dog at a time. 2 dogs from the same household would be possible but prefer not to mix dogs from multiple households. ***House-sitting notice - I do have an 11lb Havanese puppy that would accompany me for overnight house-sitting assignments. He's house-trained and does not shed and very friendly with other dogs.*** ***Boarding / House-sitting requests please note that I have a 1yr old 11lb Havanese in my home. Very social, friendly and playful. He gets along w/all people and dogs. He will also be w/me for any house-sitting bookings. House-trained and not destructive.*** I usually reply to requests within 10-20 min. If it's after 11 then the next morning. I work remote full-time Mon to Fri 8-5. Can do pop-in visits, walks and feedings as needed or on a set schedule that works best for your pet's current routine. Condo here and unfortunately do not have a yard but there are lots of green spaces near my condo at 10th and Mulberry. Space is over 1200 sq ft so plenty of room for your pet. ***I do have an 11 lb Havanese puppy that loves attention but is very smart and picks up on queues from other dogs. Shy and timid upon introduction and will play only if the other dog engages. Loves people and attention. My Havanese will be present for boardings and will accompany me for house-sitting bookings***

“First time Rover parent and booked with Victoria because of her reviews and experience with special needs dogs. We were worried because our newest Husky addition was blind and hadn't really settled in when dealing with our existing Husky even though we were going through behavior training. Victoria came over and met with us about the whole situation and was comfortable with the job, so we moved forward. She did a fantastic job watching them - keeping us up to date, asking questions and sending several photos. The kids seemed very comfortable and relaxed around her, which is really the most important part for us - we definitely didn't want them giving her a hard time. She even helped with the cat staying with us, who wasn't on the original booking. Victoria definitely made it easy for us to relax during our trip. We will be booking with her again.”

“We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!”

Amy W.

“Our dog is a little nervous and he seemed to do great with Molly staying with him for the weekend! We got periodic photo updates so we could see how he was doing. We’d definitely have Molly stay with him again!”

Lauren L.

“They did a nice job with Joey and spent a lot of time with him especially since he is nervous with new people. Took Joey on a bunch of walks which was great. House was clean and taken care of which is much appreciated. Would book again.”

Glynis G.

“Emily is the best! She has been a lifesaver for us as a dog sitter! Our dog has severe seperation anxiety and can't be left alone. This made it hard for us to find a sitter, but Emily has been so sweet and understanding of our situation! She even moved around her own work schedule to help us! She is so great with our dog Neva (who can be a bit of a handful) and you can tell she really loves animals. We are so grateful to have found Emily and would recommend her for any of your pet's needs!”

Lindsey L.

“Katherine was amazing! It's been a challenge finding a good sitter with 2 big dogs and 2 cats. She handled it so well! Sent pictures, checked in, and managed my type a anxiety with grace. Thank you so much Katherine! We will definitely be booking her again.”

Marrissa M.

“Travis was exceptionally quick to respond and very attentive to my three dogs. Two of my dogs can be hyper and he never once seemed put off by their behaviors. I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.”

Kyly N.

“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”

Kennedy M.

“Christina was great! Communicated very well and kept us updated on the pets! Returned to a clean house with happy dogs! Will use her again in the future!”

Lexi M.

“We were so happy to have Monica sit our girls! She was super friendly, respectful and kept us updated throughout the sit. Loved receiving her pictures as well! Would book with her again and definitely recommend!!”

Felipe T.

“Jessica was great! We were out of town 4 nights, and then our flight got delayed and she was able to adjust her schedule to stay a 5th night to take care of our dog. She sent photos and updates at least twice a day and I felt better knowing I had someone here at our house to care for our dog (instead of boarding him). Our dog has some anxiety and allergy issues and she took care of all his meds and gave him lots of love and cuddles. She also washed all the bedding, towels and took the trash out (which she didn't need to do but did it anyhow). Highly recommend! Thanks again, Jessica.”

Jennifer E.

“Jane was great with our two cats, who are not best friends so their cat politics can be a challenge sometimes. They were happy and calm when we got home, and they really enjoyed enrichment and having human and puppy company around. She took great care of our home and made sure to ask for clarification on any household things to check on as well. Thank you, Jane. Being gone is so much easier when you know your fur buddies are well taken care of.”
