It. was my first booking with Xena and had an amazing experience! She’s so friendly, knowledgeable, professional and my baby was comfortable around her. The minute they met he was all over her to play and was really worried that with his high energy it may be too much to handle. Xena was so patient and kind with him which gave me the peace of mind and will be booking again in the future.

I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️

About: I have dogs of my own that I take on daily walks. I have two husky’s (11 and 6 yrs) and a pitbull I had for 13.5 yrs (she crossed the rainbow bridge). I enjoy going out for walks because I know it’s a dogs favorite time of the day. I’ve taken my friends and family’s dogs on walks while they’ve been out of town. I’m looking to walk dogs in the evening when I go for my afternoon walks around the neighborhood. There are times where I may have availability during the day as well. I’m flexible and will do my best to fit you into my schedule. I love dogs and I treat all dog as if they are my own. I’ll make sure to make them feel comfortable with me and give them the attention they need.

Malek did a great job letting Gimli adjust to a new human at his own pace. He asked for guidance when needed, to help Gimli build trust in him. Gimli greeted him happily when he returned to pick up his things, so I know Gimli feels comfortable. As the owner of a sensitive, intelligent and active dog this was just what I was looking for. Thank you, Malek!

Lily was a fantastic sitter for Ella. Ells seemed to take to Lily pretty quickly, and Lily was not shy to provide constant updates on how Ella was doing, including pictures when she walked her, which was often. I would absolutely ask Lily to watch Ella again in the future.

About: Hi, I’m Steph! I’m a full time nurse with a passion for animals and I’d love to help care for your fur babies! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, we recently lost our 15 year old kitty but our home is still full of chaos and love with 3 dogs and 3 birds 🥰 I’m currently transitioning from working in the hospital full time to working from home so I’ll have a lot more flexibility in my schedule to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’ll care for your pets like they are my own! Any needs or directions I will follow perfectly to make sure your pet is as comfortable with me as possible.

Jason is the best dog sitter we have ever had. He loves our babies as if they were his own, he is exceptionally communicative, sends fantastic photos, and customizes how he interacts with the dogs based on needs. He’s also patient and reads my 6 pages of care notes ?. Could not recommend him more!!!!

Bridget was on time, communicated clearly, conscientiously followed our instructions, and even did things we didn't ask for (like bringing in the trash can and packages). She also checked in with us to make sure our flights were not delayed before she left for the final time. We'd use her again in a heartbeat.

Alissa does a phenomenal job taking care of my senior, special needs dog. It is a challenge and she handles it with grace and professionalism, and clearly loves animals dearly. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy, responsible, caring sitter, even for complex cases like mine. I am so grateful for her help! She also takes immaculate care of the house and is responsive to texts.

Rachel is, indeed, very energetic & outgoing. I was delighted to see how friendly my dog felt towards her after our trip was over. He (& I) will definitely request her again for another trip. My cats are not as easily won over but she managed to help them feel better thru their huge separation anxiety & they were doing well when we returned home. Rachel was terrific about communicating with me thru out & sending photos.

Xena was great! We just moved into town and she made it so easy and stress free to know our fur kiddo was well taken care of when going out of town. She was forgiving of the chaos of our house due to the unpacking and was able to support Levi as a senior. Will be booking again when we need a dog sitter!

Kalani was an absolutely wonderful dog sitter for my senior dog, Hailey! She stayed at our home and took such great care of her. The frequent photos and updates made it so clear that Hailey was loved and well looked after the entire time I was away. Hailey got to enjoy plenty of time outside and lots of snuggles, which I loved to see in pictures. Kalani was also incredibly respectful of my home. I returned to find everything spotless. On top of that, she was a fantastic communicator, super friendly and just a genuinely lovely person to work with. I would highly recommend Kalani for any dog sitting needs.

Diana is absolutely amazing with dogs. We have a 3 month old puppy & one of us has always been with her. This was the first time we had to leave her alone & I was very anxious (even decided to stay home with our puppy). But from the moment our pup saw Diana she was all over her, snuggling up to her & licking her face. Diana sent us pix of our pup & her - & our puppy was fast asleep on Diana's lap. I totally recommend Diana - she's incredible with dogs.

Nothing but positive things to say about Casper! This was our first time trying a pet sitter (we usually board our dogs), and we could not have been happier. We received photos and a recap of the day, every day and the house was spotless when we returned. Knowing that our boys and our home was being looked after definitely made our vacation more relaxing. Thanks Casper!!
