Sarah was an excellent dog and house sitter. We left for 10 days and felt completely comfortable and at ease with Sarah being with our two dogs. She provided regular updates, gave them snuggles, played with them and was great watering our plants while we were away to keep the house nice. Our dogs love her so it was a match made in heaven!

Bianca was the best dog sitter for our two pups over Christmas. She sent regular updates, left our apartment spotless, and you could just tell she really cares about our dogs. I’m so happy we found her and will definitely be using her again!!!

Alyssa was incredible! She was timely to the meet-and-greet. She was very attentive and flexible. She did a great job of giving Niko his medications and adjusted her work schedule to be able to let Niko out in the middle of the day. I made a special request for Alyssa to stay late in case my flight was delayed. I'm glad I did because I got delayed, and Alyssa was there to let Niko out one last time before she left. Overall, an incredible sitter that truly prioritizes your pets. I'll be reaching out again. Thank you!

Yesenia is fantastic! She cared for our kitties like they're her own. One, in particular, was going through some health challenges, and Yesenia took extra care to tend to her medication and special diet. She also played with them and kept us updated throughout, including lots of pictures.

Audrey did an amazing job with our dog, Poe. He can be a bit standoffish at first when meeting new people. She was patient with him and he eventually warmed up to her and became his sweet self again! She also sent lots of photos throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated!

About: I believe that a happy dog in the home is essential and a precursor to a happy life overall, and I want to bring the same attentiveness and care that I share with my own pup to any pets I have the privilege of taking care of through my services on Rover. When we meet the basic needs of our companions throughout the day, we have more freedom to bond with them, and them with us, and that’s where I come in! I want to help you meet your home pet care needs and goals so you can feel confident that when you come home after a busy day, you are coming home to a dog or a cat that is happy and well taken care of. I want to ensure that your pet’s routines stay intact, that they get plenty of exercise when needed, that they stay safe, and it is a joy to me to provide that service! I’m home full time so your dog gets company, play, and potty breaks woven throughout my day. I keep a calm, structured environment and adjust to each dog’s needs. I can provide training reinforcement, and plenty of affection! I follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine intact, send regular photo updates, and treat your home the way I’d want someone to treat mine. If I’m boarding your pup, my priority is that they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. On walks, I match the pace to your dog and I stay attentive to any reactivity triggers and adjust our route or distance as needed.

William was so great with the dogs! We asked him to house sit and to be with the dogs for a few days. He came by a couple of days before we left to get familiar with them, so they'd be comfortable. He sent updates in the morning and night and said that he played with the dogs a lot. I could see that the pups really enjoyed/benefitted from having him around. He's a pretty cool dude and we'll definitely be asking him to dog sit in the future! 10/10 would recommend.

We asked Paige to watch our pets, Zoe the cat, Goose the Golden Retriever (3yrs old) and Willow the Goldendoodle (2 yr old). Paige survived and the animals were cared for. Willow does like socks so consequently Paige lost a sock. Paige had to walk each dog separately as Goose is really strong and is very playful during walks making it more challenging while walking the other dog. Zoe the 12 yr old cat, is typically not fond of strangers and will almost never be seen. Well day one Zoe was out and greeted Paige. I told Paige she must be a cat whisperer. Anyways, Paige was keeping us updated and had everything under control as well making sure the animals were fed and lived which is all we really care about. Recommend and we will be happy to have Paige watch our pets in the future.

About: I believe that it is important to adapt to each dog's individual personality and preferences when caring for them. I have had experience all my life with my own, and family, pets of all shapes and sizes and can tell you for sure, one size does not fit all lol. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats so I'm confident in my ability to handle anything they throw at me. I'd love to get to know your pet as well :) I work from home so I am highly flexible and can fit your pet in my day at any time for your requested activities, or lack thereof haha I have pets at home, so if your pet prefers not making friends at this time, I can drop by or stay with your pet at their home!

Elijah was fantastic! I have a rescue pitbull who can sometimes get spooked by strangers coming into the house. I asked Elijah to meet us a day early so I could introduce them properly and he was happy to do so. While he was dog sitting he sent a ton of cute photos of the pups and updated me periodically so I knew everything was going smoothly. He’s the first dog sitter I’ve trusted outside of family members and everything went great! 10/10 highly recommend!

Kaitlin was a wonderful companion and caregiver to our suite and shy dog Sadie. She came over and stayed with our dog while we were out of town and I could not be more pleased. She won our dog over with her sweetness and caring, and our dog has a hard time trusting anyone! She showed Sadie the love that she needed and was phenomenal! I would hire her again and again!!!!!

I was going for a brief trip out of town and Elijah was responsive and ready to help. After he came for a meet and greet with my dog, I felt confident leaving her with him. Throughout the trip, Elijah provided updates and pics. House was the same as when I left. Would definitely book again.

William will always be welcome in my home to take care of my dogs. He stayed overnight with my 2 dogs while I was in Europe for 3 weeks. Communication was consistent and daily (despite the large time difference). When I returned everything looked in order and the dogs seemed perfectly normal/well taken care of to me. The neighbors also confirmed William did everything he was asked to do. I sincerely appreciate his efforts so I was able to have a nice vacation.

Our family was in a huge pinch after our puppy needed surgery 5 days before we were scheduled for a long-planned family trip. Ilana was willing to step in and provide care in a very challenging situation. We felt comfortable leaving after meeting her...and she was exceptionally kind and patient and diligent about sending us updates throughout her stay. Even with restless nights and extra cleaning, we always knew the dogs were safe and being cared for as much as possible. Would recommend her without reservation, and hope to use her again in the future under happier and healthier circumstances.

Sarah was awesome! She watched our dog and cat for 10 nights and you could tell they were more than comfortable with her. She made them feel very loved and she was exceptionally helpful with our dog who has bad anxiety with fireworks. She was extremely communicative and sent great pictures and updates. She even helped water all of our plants and the house was just as clean as we left it. We will definitely use Sarah again!
