Mandy was so great! We loved the pic updates. It was our first time using rover and the updates gave us reassurance that our fur babies were in good hands and being taken care of. We were so grateful tht she was able to extend our booking and allow us to enjoy a couple more days on a much needed vacation ! Would def recommend and rebook in the future. Thanks again Mandy !

First time. I have no complaints. She cleaned up what was unexpected. It was also very short notice but was great at responding back. I really appreciate it!

Jenn was responsive, helpful, caring, and attentive when looking after Shay. She’ll definitely be my go-to from here on out whenever I need someone to trust with Shay.

I cannot recommend Patrick D. enough! From the moment we first connected, he was professional, kind, and clearly passionate about animals. He took care of my dogs as if they were his own — sending regular updates, photos, and even little notes about how the day went, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Kevin and William absolutely adored HIM (which says a lot, because they're usually a bit shy with new people). When I came home, everything was spotless, my pets were happy, and their routine had been perfectly followed. Patrick went above and beyond in every way. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring, look no further. I will absolutely be booking with him again!

Amber did a great job taking care of my cats! She followed every instruction. One of my cats has digestive issues so feeding was more involved than just opening a can of food. Amber went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend her to everyone!

Christian did a great job coming by to feed our two cats and clean out their litter box for a week. She was always quick to respond to messages, and came by beforehand to meet us and go over everything. This was our first time using Rover and it couldn't have gone better thanks to Christian. I hope to be able to choose Christian again.

Erika is calm, trustworthy, and knowledgeable. She has been coming to my house to do midday drop ins for my two sighthounds. They are usually reserved around new people, but Erika won them over right away. Highly recommend!

About: I have cared for many animals over the past 18 years while managing a pet resort. I have also walked dogs during my lunch hour. I recently retired after 18 years in veterinary medicine and managing pet resort. I have always loved animals and have 6 dogs of my own. I have a 6 foot fenced yard and have 6 dogs of my own. My dogs are dog friendly and go to daycare often and play.

I loved Kiah! Very professional. She sent me a detailed update of how my cat was doing during each of her visits with many pictures to go along with it while I was on my out-of-state vacation. I asked her to bring in mail while I was gone and she gladly did that for me as well! My Nola seemed so happy when she was around and I would definitely rebook with her when I’m not in town again.

So glad I found Katie to watch my girl for a last minute sitter. After an initial meet and greet, I felt confident that my dog would be in good hands. I received lots of feedback and cute pictures/video of my dog during Katie’s visit, which I loved. I would definitely book again; thanks Katie!

Miss Mandy is by far amazing. She goes above and beyond in everything she does for the dogs. She truly does treat them like they are her own pups. My three babies absolutely love her, especially my big boy! I work long hours and because of her I finally have a peace of mind. Thank you for all you do.💙

I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would highly recommend her. She paid close attention to every detail and made sure all of my dogs’ routines and needs were followed perfectly. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make them feel comfortable. My dogs absolutely loved her and were excited to see her each day. Knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands gave me complete peace of mind while I was away.
