We had Jaymee sit for Maxie about 24 hours including an overnight. Jaymee is a kind, lovely young lady- she is very loving and empathetic towards Maxie- I’m sure all animals. Given all her great qualities and how happy Maxie was we will definitely use her again!

Michelle was the best house and dog sitter we could have ever asked for. She was incredibly attentive and thorough in every aspect including before her stay with our dogs, during and after! She visited us ahead of time to get to know the boys and make sure we had all the details covered. She kept in contact us while we were away and sent photos and kept very extensive notes that were very helpful to read when we returned from our vacation. She is incredibly knowledgeable about training and different personalities in dogs and I would recommend her to anyone!!!!!! I could tell our boys loved having her and were looking for her for a day or two after she was gone. She’s a great lady and I would recommend her with 10 stars!!!!! She even kept up with the shedding and the house was immaculate! A great lady!!!

We left our pups in Kaitlin’s care at our house for an entire week and we couldn’t have been happier!! Kaitlin loved our pups and they were super comfortable with her as well! I was actually jealous because she got way more snuggles than I typically do! We will definitely ask her to come back and I highly recommend her!

This was my first time leaving my fur babies with someone other than my mom and I couldn’t be happier with how well they were cared for! I know Marla loved them like they were her own, even our extremely moody & needy kitty. I was sent multiple updates & pictures, which was awesome. I will definitely be using Marla again in the future :)

About: Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I’ve helped look after dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from high-energy pups to shy seniors who need a gentler touch. Friends, neighbors, and family regularly rely on me because I’m attentive, patient, and truly enjoy spending time with their pets. I make sure every dog feels comfortable, safe, and loved, whether we’re playing, going for walks, or just relaxing together. Your pet will get reliable care and plenty of affection while they’re with me. I have 1 year dog kennel experience that inspired me to become a vet assistant to hopefully start my own commercial business in the future! Thank you for considering me and contributing to my experience it is greatly appreciated and your animals will be treated like my own! I’m in school studying to become a veterinary assistant, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. My class schedule is flexible, giving me lots of availability on weekends and most weekdays. Since animal care is already a big part of my life, I’m able to provide consistent attention, playtime, and reliability for your pets. I do online. Your dog’s safety and comfort always come first whether I’m caring for them in your home o. I follow your feeding, potty, and exercise routine so they feel secure and settled. If you don’t really have a route with pups and are a go with the flow person like I am I can provide, 8-10 potty’s breaks and lots of attention. For safety during walks in my neighborhood, there are no sidewalks so we walk against traffic so we can see oncoming cars with dogs on the right side of me farthest away from the road in grass. In the winter, I follow a cold-weather walking policy for safety: if it’s too cold for me in an t shirt it’s too cold for them! Usually requests winter weather gear like boots and coat but one can be provided(washed after every use with pet safe detergent). (Black puffer and no slip socks.) Night time walking- don’t worry about the days getting darker I’ve got it covered with my reflective gear, flashlight, collar light clips, and more. Thank you for understanding and helping keep your pet safe!

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for animals of all kinds—from scales to tails—I’m an avid animal lover who truly connects with pets on a deeper level (sometimes more than with people!). I treat every fur baby as my own and make their comfort, safety, and happiness my top priority. Whether your pet is shy, energetic, scaly, fluffy, or anything in between, I’m here to give them personalized, reliable, and compassionate care. I’m happy to provide updates as often as you’d like, so you’ll always feel confident and connected while you’re away. I am a mom of four (human children) as well as three fur babies- a cat, dog, and bearded dragon. I work from home full-time Monday through Friday, and can be very flexible with whatever busy schedule you may have! I will be upfront and honest- I decided to create a rover account partly due to animals being something I am passionate about and have the experience to make you as fellow fur parents feel comfortable. I also am doing this so I can work a "part time" job to (slowly but surely) be able to afford to get a house with a yard- both for my human and animal children. I would love to have your pet's come to me, but due to me living in an apartment with just a small fenced patio, I will be coming to your homes and can make what works for your busy schedule work for me! Whatever questions or concerns you may have, I will do my best to ease any anxiety and make you feel safe and comfortable leaving your pet(s) in my care!

Mari took wonderful care of our girls. She came a couple of times in advance to let our older girl get to know her because of how scared Sadie is of strangers. She had a very gentle way with her and gave Sadie time to warm up to her. We will definitely have Mari house sit for us again!

About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits and even reptiles since I was a little kid growing up in Madison, Wisconsin--we had cats, dogs, rodents and reptiles, often all at once. As an adult, I've kept and cared for cats of all kinds, including ones needing medical care / injections. I truly am a cat person but love all animals. I'm currently a consultant-based worker, so my free time is kinda plentiful. I like playing with and caring for animals, and as a home owner myself, I am very capable of watching and caring for a home while someone is away. I use gentleness and love and the owner's instructions to care for animals in their homes. Currently I don't offer pet boarding, but am great at drop ins for feeding / treats and potty breaks / litter box clean 'n refresh.

Lili was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and always kept me posted with pictures and videos of my 2 cats. We were gone for 10 days and she stayed at our house, I felt very safe with knowing she was there. The cats both got their medications and I will use her services when we travel. Highly recommend her to take care of fur babies. She is very sweet, thank you Lili.

This was my very first experience using a pet-sitting service. I chose Estefanny because of her very high ratings and she did not disappoint. My ancient kitty Larry doesn't do well staying by himself anymore. Estefanny not only assured that he had regular meals, water, and meds, but she also stayed with him at night so he wasn't lonely. Larry clearly loved her. She sent an update and photos every day, many of which showed him on her lap or in the spare bed, so he was obviously comfortable sleeping with her. To be honest, I expected her to be great with Larry. What I didn't expect was, after 5 nights sleeping at my house, I couldn't even tell she had been there. The place was exactly as I had left it - I swear she packed out her own garbage! Estefanny clearly cares for pets and is pleasant, reliable, and responsive. The highest recommendation I can give her is that I'm headed out of town again next month and I've already booked Estefanny to take care of Larry. The whole experience was just terrific!

Erin did a wonderful job taking care of Teddy. She spent time snuggling with him and took him for walks. When Erin had to leave Teddy whined and barked... he does that when we leave which shows me he really likes Erin!! I would recommend her to anyone and plan to have her be with Teddy again when we are out of town.
