“Second time booking with William for a much longer out of state trip and he was great!!!! Super punctual and responsive! I felt comfortable leaving my anxious dog with him! Will definitely be booking with him again.”
“Macy provided great care for our two beloved cats. She was on time and followed instructions. She gave us updates and made us feel happy that our cats were safe in her care.”
“Elizabeth did a fantastic job with my mini zoo. It brought such peace of mind having a dependable person to care for them when I couldn’t be home. In addition to 2 Labradors, I have a temperamental mini pig that she handled very well. I highly recommend Elizabeth for any of your pet care needs ❤️”
About: I have been part of a dog family since I was 9 years old. Several friends and neighbors have used me as a repeat sitter - I even took care of little doggies in diapers :) now I have several years of pet care experience through Rover. I also have my own dog, a teenage Aussie named Witten, who I’ve cared for the last couple years but who is currently being fostered with a friend who’s home is more suitable for him during my transition to the cities. When I care for your dog, I am communicative and will make sure you receive regular updates (unless you want me to leave you alone!) I’m not afraid to ask a question to make sure I’m always doing the best for your pet. I will go above and beyond, cleaning up trash, vomit, accidents, as needed. I want to work with you to give you the most peace of mind possible that your pet is in good hands. I’m recently moved to the cities and in the job search now, so I’ve got lots of flexibility to care for your pup on their schedule, and/or to stay with them for a meaningful amount of time during the day. My priority is making sure your pet remains feeling safe and cared for while you’re gone. I stay in tune with your dog’s needs so if they need to be calmed, or played with, or cuddled, I’m there for them. My approach is to help them feel loved while also making sure they know I am in charge so they can be safe with me.
“Xinia is an excellent dog sitter! She meets my anxious dog at her level and goes above and beyond to ensure her comfort and trust. Xinia is very reliable and I just know my dog enjoys seeing her! I will definitely book her again 😊”
“Molly was so so sweet and patient with my two cats. I had her stop in for 5 days while I was on vacation and I could tell from the photos, they really enjoyed her presence and felt cared for. Molly stayed for longer than was needed and also brought my kitties a cat toy they love🥹. I don’t have enough good things to say about her care for my babies. This was my first time ever using Rover and Molly made my experience 110% exceed my expectations. I will be re-booking with her in the future. Thank you so much Molly! ❤️”
About: My first German Shepard, Sheeba, trotted into my life when I was 4, and my intense, burning passion for dogs ignited. I’ve had them throughout my life and have yet to meet a dog I didn’t adore. Basically, I’m the guy at house parties in the office alone smooshing your pup’s face and giving them belly rubs. I’m comfortable with all sorts of breeds and temperaments. I work remote in a deadline based job that offers me some excellent flexibility. I’m able to be on site with your dog throughout the day, ensuring they get plenty of attention and outside time. When I’m caring for your dog, I’m caring for your family member. I know firsthand the amount of trust it takes to allow someone to be responsible for your loved one(s) and respect your property, and I don’t take that lightly.
“Penny has been great. Norbu seems to really like her, she was very punctual and appeared to enjoy what she is doing. I would definitely use Penny again.”
“Sharron is SO great with our dog Rhubarb! She visits Barb right on time, spends quality time with her, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos that put our minds at ease and show she really cares about Barb! We’re so grateful to have Sharron in Barb’s life and we appreciate her so much!”
About: Have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! Started professionally caring for cats and dogs about a year ago. Absolutely love doing it!! I currently work a full-time day job but have a lot of evening and weekend flexibility. Available during the week starting after 5pm and weekends I am available all day. I follow all the rules the client sets for how they want their pet taken care of when in their own home. I always ask questions if unsure.
“Kayleah is great! She helped us out last minute and was so efficient with communication during our time away. Our cat is also very particular about strangers and she did a great job taking care of him. We will continue to book her if we ever need someone to take care of our little fur babies while we’re gone.”
“Kelsey did an amazing job!! Was very responsive to my little dudes’ needs and let me know if anything seemed off. Was also very responsive to communication and flexible with logistics around handing off house keys, etc. and is generally just really cool, nice and professional! Would highly recommend 🥳”
“Sarah was great! I was a first-time Rover customer as my senior grampa cat needed to have daily medicine during our summer vacation, and Sarah was able to drop in and get him what he needed. She was very communicative and easygoing, but most importantly, she made sure my fur friends were alive and well!”
“I highly recommend Paige. Upon our return our home smelt normal and Sasha’s litter was clean. Paige was able to administer meds to her which was no easy feat. We will keep booking her if she is available.”
“Brenna was so great! She was super knowledgeable about cat care in general and asked all the right questions that I hadn't thought of answering. She came over beforehand to get lay of the land and meet the household members. On her visits she gave super detailed recaps and sent lots of pictures, and it was a highlight getting her updates every day, and knowing my loves were in good hands. Will definitely want to work with Brenna again!”
