“Rima is great! Very attentive, very communicative. Made my anxious pets feel comfortable and loved. Left the house spotless and went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first experience with Rover. Brian came over to meet our dog and make sure it was a good fit before we decided to use him. Brian sent pics and left our house in perfect condition. I highly recommend Brian!”
“If I could give Heidi more than 5 stars I would! I was kept up to date every single day and Heidi ensured the pups were both taken care of as if I never even left! She went above and beyond while I was gone for the 10 days. The dogs made a huge mess of my couch but Heidi immediately called me and then went ahead and cleaned up the mess. The dogs were very well taken care of and she sent at least one picture a day sometimes more. I would recommend getting Heidi to take care of any pet! She was an excellent communicator and both the dogs loved her! Will for sure go to her first for any pet sitting needs!”
“Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!”
“Shantalee did such an amazing job for us, I would define recommend her to family and friends. She was very respectful, responsible and caring to our pup. Thanks Shantalee!”
“Amanda stayed with our dog for the day. She was prompt and professional. She is friendly and polite. She sent pictures to keep us updated. Our dog likes her and so do we. We highly recommend her.”
“Kathryn was flexible, responsive, and sent pictures which I appreciated while watching my two senior dogs for a late night house sitting. Would recommend!”
“Allie was wonderful! We had her do house sitting while away for a week. She was tidy in the house and so responsive to any communications. Dependable and trust worthy. She took great care of the pups and spent a lot of time with them. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking!”
About: I don’t have specific set of skills other than the fact that I am a dog mom. My dogs are my world and my main priority. I have a lot of love to give and I think animals deserve it the most. I’m currently unemployed as I recently left my job as it just wasn’t the right fit any longer. I will make myself available to be with your pet as much as needed and wanted by the client. I’m 44 years old with an older son who is 28. So for people my age who normally have small children I have my 2 dogs and my 2 cats. They are my children My animals are always considered in any and all plans that I may have. They are my top priority and your animal would be no different. I am a nurturer by nature. When I was in need of dog sitter Rover provided me with someone who took care of and loved my dogs just as much as I did. It motivated me to want to be that person for other people. I will love and spoil your animal as if they were my own. Allowing you to leave them knowing they are being well taken care of. I have a fully fenced in yard and I would make any special arrangements as far as feeding, crating etc that would be needed for your animal.
About: I grew up always having a dog. I know how special they can be and the attention they deserve. I'm always happy to help pups get the best care possible. I have many free days to devote to pets. I am available on short notice and always happy to help out to make things easier on your animals. I have experience with dogs that roam the house as well as crate training. I also know how to handle an invisible fence versus a solid one as well as leads.
“Jess was awesome! First time having her dog sit for my 2 dogs and definitely not the last. She stayed with my dogs for 8 nights, checked in with me everyday with photos and to let me know how they were doing. One of my dogs is 13 and can sometimes get anxiety when we leave him with a dog sitter - but not this time. Jess was so good with them, gave me such peace of mind to know they were in good hands!”
About: I have had the opportunity to care for young puppies and elderly dogs over the last three years. Both ends of the spectrum require different levels of care, but more importantly, it requires love and patience. I am able to go for as many walks as needed, administer pain and behavioral medications, or just snuggle on the couch. I would be able to stop by for pet care in the morning before 9AM, during my lunch break around 1PM, and then after 5PM. All animals are on different schedules, but my flexibility hopefully will mesh with yours! I would first like to meet your animal before officially becoming their sitter. I want them to become acclimated with me and see if we would respond well to each other, especially with me entering into their home. For dogs, I can administer medications, go on walks, observe back yard play (if applicable) and provide them with all the food and treats they’re allowed. For cats, I can scoop and deeply clean litter, brush and maintain their fur if needed, and again, provide all the food and treats! Both also deserve some indoor play time as well, so more then happy to participate in play time
About: I have had my own dog for twelve years. People tell me I have a knack with dogs! Experienced, caring, reliable, punctual, trustworthy and professional! I'm retired, so I have a very flexible schedule. I will always do my best to accommodate the needs of my clients. Value your business! I don't do Pet Sitting at my home. While Pet Sitting at your home, my services include feeding, potty breaks, playtime, TLC, possibly a walk.
