“Sara was amazing! She was so sweet and friendly with our dogs and cat! She was kind, on time & left our house better than she found it. We are so grateful to have had Sara care for our babies!”
“Victoria was amazing! I can’t say enough about her! One of my dogs is really scary and he doesn’t deal with anyone, she was able to make him feel comfortable! No accidents in the house, Victoria made sure they went out on a timely schedule. Also the house was left in immaculate shape! She cleaned up behind herself and the house was just as I left it, I would definitely book her again and will be booking in the future! She made sure to send pictures and updates! I felt safe leaving my house to her! Thank you Victoria! You were amazing.”
“Jenny is hands down the best! I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our dogs to go out of town. As soon as we met Jenny, all of my worries were gone! We knew when our least affectionate dog gave Jenny kisses that they’d be in good hands. She was flexible with our schedule and change of plans last minute. We used her house sitting service, which was not only affordable but super convenient! She kept our house tidy and clean so when we came back home it was like we never left. I cannot recommend Jenny enough. We’re looking forward to using her services again in the future!”
“Marci and I are in a constant battle of who my dog loves more and I'm fairly certain I'm losing. Athena loves when Marci comes to stay. She has very little change to her routine and I can see from the photos that she is happily curled up on Marci's lap on the couch. My neighbor even likes to tell me how happy Athena is when Marci is there. They play a lot, they sit in the sun, and she is showing her the best time!”
About: Hello! My name is Karissa and I'm 25. I've taken care of, fostered, and owned many cats and dogs throughout all life stages. As a child, I always had animals in the house to take care of, and I've been dog/cat sitting since I was 16. I am familiar with kittens and puppies, but also with elderly dogs/cats as well as dogs/cats with various medical conditions that may need different kinds of medicine administration or lifestyle adjustments. I am currently available full time for your pet, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your animals! I am available for house sitting and stopping by your home. I understand that keeping our pets safe and happy is of the highest priority, and how I will take care of your pets will reflect that. It is always important to make sure your pups are going on walks fit for their lifestyle/needs and that every cat is getting the stimulation they need while you are away.
“Matthew did an exceptional job with our three trouble makers! He went above and beyond taking care of our girls and our home. I would trust him to watch my girls again and I’m sure they would look forward to him taking care of them next time we are away!”
“Isabelle was great with our dogs, Natalie and Ollie, while we were out of town. The dogs loved her! She sent us pics on arrival and kept in touch each day we were away. Isabelle is personable, caring, knowledgeable, and prompt; she took good care of the house too. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
“Kensleigh was perfect for us! She loved my animals as I do, and they were so content when I came home. She is sweet, polite, responsible, and hard working. I’ll absolutely invite her into my home again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs, bunnies, cats and birds since I was 6 years old. I love my fur babies, let me care for yours! I’m currently working full time from home, so I would have time to drop in for visits or walks during the morning and evening. I’m available weekends as well! I have years of experience taking care of and walking dogs of my own. Pets are my passion and I would love to help assist you with yours!
“Haylee was great with our fur babies! Always kept us informed and shared pictures a few times a day. Nala is very high energy and Haylee was great and took her out as needed to get that energy out. Winston required a slower pace and meds and she was great caring for him as well. We’ll certainly book with Haylee again!”
“Megan was a wonderful sitter in our home for our Toy Poodle Bella. She kept us updated with pictures and videos. Bella was well taken care of and took to Megan right away. Megan was very courteous and friendly and followed our instructions for our spoiled baby. We had to get an early start to our day trip and Megan was willing to come at 4:00 AM. We will definitely use her again.”
About: I've taken care of and helped foster pets ever since I was young. My family and friends have relied on me for walks, feeding and baths for their pets. I'm currently working part-time, so I've got a wide availability for your pet's needs. I'm available for sittings throughout the week, and walks almost daily. I have cared for young pups and kittens as well as older pets. I've also experienced small and large breeds as well as high energy and independent pets.
“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”
About: Never feel guilty again for leaving your pup home, while you’re at work bringing home the bacon! Rest easy on your vacation, long day (or night!) at work, or whatever the case may be: I’m always here for you. I absolutely love dogs and animals. I've had dogs all my life; I am very comfortable with all the different breeds of dogs. Throughout my childhood, I usually had anywhere between 2 to 3 dogs at any given time; at this point in my life I have two pets of my own. My oldest dog is a 5 pound Yorkshire Terriers named Denim age 10+. My second dog is a 10 pound Maltese Poodle named Windsor age 3+. I have a lot of help and support from my boyfriend Michael when it comes to taking care of our pups, so expect a dynamic duo when it comes to your pets. I am currently enrolled in college and I am actively working on finishing my second Associates’ degree in Interior Design, graduation date Spring 2020. From there I plan on finishing my Bachelors in Fine Arts in Interior Architecture expected graduation date 2022. I am a very active person I go on long walks, hikes, jogs, and runs so your dog will be perfect company for me. We can go on leashed walks throughout Lake Thom-A-Lex Park or throughout my residential neighborhood. When staying at my house your dog will get plenty of tender, love, and care. They will have oodles of attention and fun. My goal is to tire them out so when it’s time to go home to you their ready for bed. I work from home so I will provide 24-hour supervision to your dog. I appreciate active communication and will provide regular updates and feedback on your pet. I welcome the same. I am a very responsible person, who is very reliable and understanding, I will accommodate the specific needs of both you and your dog. Working with Rover I have had the opportunity to care for an even greater variety of fur babies. I understand that dogs are part of your family and I would love to care for them as if they were part of my own. I have experience with dogs losing their sight and hearing.
“Anna was awesome !! She took care of our 4 dogs and our home for 8 days while we were on a trip. She sent multiple updates and pictures of our babies the whole time, and always replied quickly. We also came home to our blankets already washed, which made our night a lot easier after a full day of traveling. Thank you for taking on our crazy household !”
