“This was our first time having a dog sitter stay in our house and watch our babies and Michelle exceeded our expectations! She provided us with updates and photos throughout the day and truly eased our minds while we were away for our wedding weekend. We will definitely be using Michelle again anytime we are out of town. We knew the dogs felt comfortable with her bc they don’t usually sleep with my mom when she house sits, but they slept with Michelle after one night of her being there. If that doesn’t say something about how they felt idk what does!”

About: I am in love with animals of all kinds and believe the best way to take care of them is in their own environment, where they can be as stress-free as possible. I currently work part time at Cooper’s Hawk winery and restaurant and have the availability to make my schedule flexible based on the needs that you have. I will work to keep your regular routine in your home while you are away and treat your home with respect and the way you want it treated. I think during times of stress for an animal such as time as while you are away it is most important to keep as much normal to them as you can so I will be there to uphold your normal routines and give them as much love and comfort as I can while you are gone
“Karla was excellent in watching our Rubble. He has a history of seizures so he needs someone to stay with him overnight in case of an episode. She was very accommodating and provided quick feedback to our questions while we were away. We loved having her and look forward to working with her again.”

“Anna is terrific! We have not used Rover before and were a little hesitant with someone staying in our home when we plan on going on vacation. Several weeks before our trip, Anna Mei came to our house and spent about 2 hours with us and our dogs. That was a great way for us to get to know each other and see how comfortable our dogs were with her and she with our dogs. At her suggestion, we spent one night in a hotel as a trial run while she stayed with our dogs. Everything went really well, and she kept us updated on what was going on. She definitely earned our trust, and we are relieved that we found a reliable sitter for when we are on our vacation. We will definitely request her again. Thanks Anna!”

“Macy took such amazing care of our fur babies! She really went above and beyond to make sure our pups were well cared for and still had fun while we were out of town. Our dogs can be high energy but she kept them happy with walks and plenty of games of fetch. One of our dogs can be nervous around other people but he warmed up to her very quickly. We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing our pups were in good hands! Thanks for everything, Macy!”

“Keyana is amazing with our dogs. She has become our number 1 dog sitter. She is extremely gentle and loving with our two elderly dogs. We get daily communication and pictures during our time away! Makes traveling less stressful knowing our two dogs are being cared for by such a huge pet lover!!!”
“Ehlaura was amazing. Not only did she take my booking last minute, but she took GREAT care of my senior dogs. There were multiple curve balls over the few days she stayed with them and she was very communicative about everything. My dogs certainly gave her a run for her money, but she handled everything so well and made me incredibly glad that I’d found her so last minute. I would have been much more worried about my dogs without her great care and communication.”

“Trenton was an absolute lifesaver! We’ve had some disappointing experiences with sitters on this app recently ranging from not following instructions to doing quick 30-minute drop-ins when we specifically requested house sitting. Trent completely restored our faith in Rover. He followed all of our instructions to the letter, took excellent care of our dog Thor, and even kept our home clean and organized, something we haven’t experienced with past sitters. We truly appreciate his reliability and professionalism. We will most definitely continue using his services.”
