Emberly was spectacular. She helped us out with very short notice, taking care of three dogs that can get pretty rowdy. She handled our sick puppy with the care, love, and affection Dottie needed, even though Emberly didn’t know until the night before how much specialized care Dottie would need. My wife and I greatly appreciate Emberly’s help, and we would definitely use her again.

Charity was fantastic! She came over twice before our trip to make sure that our 2-year-old crazy pup was okay with her. She was very patient and knowledgeable and took the best care of all our animals (2 needy dogs, 2 cats, and a gecko. We'll definitely try to have her come again!

Emily was excellent. She had last minute availability to help us in the impossible idea of finding a house sitter for 5 animals willing to stay at the house. Emily was flexible in what she could offer and was ready for whatever we needed. Truly a professional. She watched over my three dogs, my two cats, and stayed in my home for 9 days. My babies were cared for, my home was watched over, and we had total peace of mind. Added bonus was our home was handed off to us in the exact state, if not better than we left it in. Washed sheets and all. She even worked with my two dogs who do not get along the best inside, and trained with them to get them to be more at peace together inside. Whatever we asked her to do for pets and house, she followed to a t, and her partner is also lovely. I can’t recommend her enough. We found her on rover…. The only thing that gave me peace of mind was her reviews on rover to make the jump and book with her…. Emily is going to be rebooked with us for any needs we have in the future. We are so thankful!

Bansi took wonderful care of our two pups while my wife and I went away for a few days. We’ve only ever had close friends or family watch our pups for us, so we were a bit nervous trying to find someone through Rover who would spoil and care for them as much as we do, all on pretty short notice. Those nerves quickly went away from the minute we did the initial meet and greet with Bansi in person. From that point all the way until the moment she left our home, she was very professional and communicative with updates (and photos) throughout the weekend, making the process that much easier. We will definitely be booking with Bansi again the next time we need someone to take care of our pups, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone you can trust to spoil your fur-babies while you’re away - you will not be disappointed! Thank you again, Bansi!

About: Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been around animals my entire life. I grew up with dogs and spent years helping take care of them—feeding, walking, playing, and, of course, giving lots of love. In high school and after, I worked as a dog sitter for families in my neighborhood, building experience with a variety of breeds and personalities. These days, I’m a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I’m very familiar with both dog and cat care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I always adapt to their needs and treat them like my own. I know how important it is to feel confident in the person caring for your pets. You can count on me to be dependable, communicative, and gentle with your furry family members. I’m excited to meet your pets and give them the same love and attention they get from you! I have availability all throughout the week including weekends! I’m usually available from early in the morning starting around 6:30 AM to the evening as late as 8-9 PM. I can take on walks, feed, water, etc on whatever schedule is best for you and your fur baby. I always want to make sure the cat/ and or dog feels as comfortable as possible when you are away.

Charity went above and beyond to ensure my newly rescued pup felt loved. I was nervous about leaving her with someone but Charity ended up being so great that when I returned my dog was torn between staying home with me or leaving with Charity! My dog got to experience new adventures and received so much attention. What a blessing to have found the perfect dog sitter!
