“Axell did a great job looking after our 2 cats. They communicated well, sent us photos and videos and did everything we asked and more. For instance, there was a wind storm while we were gone and axell cleared branches off of our walkway. One of our cats has asthma and requires medicine twice a day so we are so happy that we had such a reliable cat sitter!”
“Rose was so great with our cats, who definitely didn’t make it an easy visit. Regular visits, pictures and updates helped us keep peace of mind while we were away from them. They were well loved and taken care of!”
“We couldn't be more thankful to have found Lauren and Ernest! Our 3 kitties can be a handful but they love both Lauren and Ernest and look forward to their visits while we are away. They're both very communicative, send great updates, and go above and beyond. This is our 3rd time working with them and they'll be out go to pet sitters every time we need one. Highly recommend!”
“I was anxious to find a dog sitter, and I wanted to make sure I found someone with a decent amount of experience. Sophia was more than happy to do a meet-and-greet with both of my dogs. She met them both where they were at, and they both had a successful first experience getting care from someone other than me or a close friend.”
“Kathy was so great dropping in with our 2 pups! We booked with Grover only 1 week before leaving over the Christmas holiday and she met with us right away so we had no worries leaving. We had a change in plans and didn't need her the last day and apologize for the mess up. Definitely will use her services again🐾”
About: Working as a vet assistant, groomer, trainer and sport and show handler I have built a unique set of skills that can provide your dog with an experience like no other! I am a stay at home mom with two kids in school. My day consists of staying at home so your pup will never be alone. I have a 6 foot fully fenced yard, plus a separate dog run area where I have cameras inside and out. Safety is my number one priority. Your dog will have eyes on them 24/7. Since safety is something I take very seriously these are some of the things I do to ensure your dog feels comfortable at all times. All dogs are fed separately, this includes chews and treats. Dogs are on leash if not in the fully fenced backyard. All dogs have their own drinking water to prevent any spread of illness. Food and water bowls are washed daily. The yard is chemical free, I do not use weed killer or insect sprays on the property. Pictures and updates daily to insure peace of mind while you’re away. Is your dog shy, submissive or reactive with other dogs. No problem, I have lots of areas in the house and yard where they don’t have to be apart of the group of other dogs. I have one cat who is an indoor outdoor kitty. She has grown up with multiple dogs in the house. She has been around many dogs who don’t like cats, you’ll normally see her up in the trees or on the roof. I do have two kids in the house who have grown up with dogs. Along with safety respect is also something I value. My children respect the dog’s space. If your dog doesn’t like children or is nervous around them that is no problem. I strive to make sure my children are coexisting and having little interaction with our dogs who are not child friendly. All interactions with your dog are supervised, there will not be any interactions out of sight with the children. We take dogs with all kinds of personality. While your dog is here their comfort and happiness is my priority. It’s very easy to keep your dog and the kids separated.
“Provides exceptional service to our pups. She sends us great pictures, descriptive updates, and offers to do more than what was initially requested. Our dogs love Heather. She treats them like they are her own, and we could not be more grateful!”
“It was awesome knowing that our pets were being cared for. We didn’t worry a bit. Andrhu immediately made us feel comfortable leaving. He went above and beyond. I strongly recommend Andru to everyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter.”
“Really nice to work with and knowledgeable with what needs to been done e when situations arise from the unexpected. I will definitely call on Mariana to help my family out again. Thanks!”
“Issana was great with my girls! She came in time and stayed until the girls did their business and got some exercise. I was happy to hear she worked with my overly energetic dog and practiced sits. I will definitely use her again!”
“Ivy was fantastic! I appreciated her patience, understanding, and consideration with Aspen. She was kind, thoughtful and careful while Aspen became comfortable with her. Scheduling and coordinating with Ivy was a breeze. She put in time and effort to make the schedule and manage everything through Rover. I'll be using Ivy in the future, without a doubt.”
“McKenna went out of her way to help out with our pups. They are anxious dogs and require a lot of extra TLC. She was great with them. She was super sweet and responsible. I would use her again for sure!!”
“Mandi followed all the directions I left for her and sent many pictures of her short 30 minute visit with my pups! It was a hot day, but she still made sure they got a low key outdoor break during her time with them.”
“Becky is wonderful! She took care of our dog and two cats on short notice and everything went well. She was very thorough during our meet and greet before we left and had very fast communication while we were away for a weekend. Our 10 year Shih Tzu is very anxious but he did great with Becky. We will definitely book with her again in the future!”
Lakeland South cat parents share their Rover experiences
Xiaotong is an amazing sitter. When meeting and booking, she was responsive and caring, and asked great questions. During the time she watched my cats, she was consistent, compassionate, and meticulous in her care, giving them plenty of love and playtime. I hate leaving my cats, but would trust them to Xiaotong every time.
Anna made drop-in visits to our cats while we were away for two weeks, and what a relief it was knowing they were well taken care of! Anna was great at communicating, responsive, and shared updates and photos regularly. She’s smart, friendly, responsible, and trustworthy.. everything we needed to feel okay about being away from our fur babies for that long. Thanks so much Anna!!
