Of course Madalyn did a wonderful job again taking care of our fur babies for the week! She kept us updated with text messages and photos every day. I can’t say enough about her. We already have her booked for two more vacations next year and will probably be adding a third and fourth. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.

Kevin provided wonderful care for our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. He asked thoughtful questions about our dog before sitting him and followed our instructions while here. Our dog has some behavioral quirks so it’s very important to us that his sitter pays attention to detail. Kevin was also timely, reliable, and courteous. By the end of the weekend, it looked like Kevin and Babka were pals. Thanks, Kevin—we hope to book with you again in the future!

We were so grateful to have found Anna for this stay!! She was very helpful and stayed in touch with updates and photos. We were extra worried about leaving Lexi for this trip, as it was our first time away after our other dog passed. Anna was so understanding and took great care of our baby (and house!) while we were gone!! Thank you so much Anna!!!

Jenna & Aidan must have done an excellent job taking care of my cat as she didn't yell at me for hours upon my return home!! She was as happy as could be. J&A were very responsive, and timely. I appreciated their willingness to meet up a head of time to see the lay of the land. I would use them again in a heart beat.

Kenda is a wonderful at this job. She really went the extra mile to become friends with my dog, not just the person that shows up to complete the task. This was especially important because I have an anxious and reactive rescue dog that takes some coaxing in order to trust people. Highly recommended and definitely my go-to dog walker going forward.

Samantha is awesome. She stayed with my cat Azi for a whole week, and sent very regular updates and photos. She communicated quickly when needed - I could trust that I could reach her if I needed to, and that she would reach out to me if anything came up. Most importantly, I could tell that Azi was calm and happy with her, which gave me so much peace of mind! He was chill (not too desperate for affection) when I got home, and the house was clean and tidy. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D

Merissa kept us updated and send many pics, we felt very comfortable and confident with her taking care of Dane and he was so excitedto have her here With him. Because of our experience, we have already booked her again and will continue to in the future!

Our senior dog is special needs and has pretty extreme separation anxiety. Natasha stayed with her overnight. We received a detailed update on our girl, including an hour by hour account of how she didn’t sleep bc of her anxiety and how Natasha got up with her several times through the night to walk her and comfort her. I can’t say enough about Natasha’s kindness and patience toward our special needs girl.

Rima was very attentive with the dogs. She sent pictures and videos frequently so that we could see that the dogs were doing well. She spent a lot of time outdoors with them. She cleaned up after their poops. She washed towels and sheets so we came home to a clean house. We would use Rima again. We travel frequently to visit our children.

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I started small with hamster and fish, eventually teaching myself to care for larger species through rigorous online teachings and experience. I work part time so that I can spend as much time working with and caring for animals as possible. Ideally taking care of at least 3 pets a day would be best case for me. I do not have the ability to care for pets in my home but I do have the knowledge and experience to crate fur babies when needed without causing them distress. I am familiar with getting animals of all domestic sizes into a state of calm for walks or sleep time or even cuddles after a long day of missing their folks.

Lauren took excellent care of our two young cats while we were away! Our cats were happy and settled when we returned home, which isn’t easy to accomplish with kitties under a year. Lauren is a wonderful communicator and provided lots of updates with photos - we knew they were in good hands. She also left our home very clean. We highly recommend Lauren and will absolutely welcome her back!

Loren was wonderful! I would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! I went away for a week and had never left my dog with anyone other than family before. I was a little anxious about it. Loren knew this and was very kind and compassionate. She took amazing care of my fur baby and I can't thank  her enough! Loren went above and beyond what I was looking for and I will absolutely use her services again.

We felt so comfortable leaving our pup in Cheyenne’s care! Cheyenne went out of her way to make sure our girl was not only safe and cared for, but also had so much fun playing while we were away. We received such great photos and updates while we were gone, and knew our girl was in the best hands. We had so much confidence knowing Cheyenne’s extensive history and experience with animals, which was even more reassuring (our pup has seizures from time to time and takes a daily medication). Cheyenne was also so respectful of our home, and always communicated promptly and professionally. Thank you again, Cheyenne!!

Madalyn was absolutely phenomenal when it came to watching our two dogs and cat. She routinely sent updates about how the boys were doing. From the pictures alone you could tell how comfortable they were with her. She also verified times to ensure they received timely care until we returned home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to rebook her when we travel again.

Michelle was awesome. Not my first pup but I never needed a ‘sitter’ before. I tried boarding and was not happy. Never heard a thing or got any updates on how he was doing. Also their drop off and pick up times were horrible. Besides I really just wanted him to stay at home. Michelle and I messages a bit and she came to meet us and visit. That made me feel so comfortable. We spoke again before my trip and discussed a few things. Being nervous I had a 2 page instruction/information sheet. She made me feel so comfortable and not awkward about it. lol. While I was away she texted, kept me updated with how Coco was doing and sent a few cute pics! Such a great experience and I will definitely want to have Michelle come hang with Coco next time I am in need.
