“Victoria did an excellent job caring for our babies! Very good communication during our absence and nice pictures too. I am new to Rover, and felt nervous leaving my pets and using the platform. Victoria responded quickly to my inquiry and answered various questions concerning procedures. Would highly recommend!”

I was kept up to date with everything going on with our cat, so I was able to be out of town and have complete peace of mind knowing that everything was going well. I’m so happy to have reached out to Irene!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life and I treat them as family. I have also owned a couple of seniors in my lifetime and know how to handle them. I work from home so my schedule is fairly flexible and am home all the time. Weekends are a little busier, but I can still consider weekends. My husband and I own our home with a fenced-in yard for our two dogs. Our dogs are our babies and I treat any other animal as such. We have a nice big sectional couch for them to sleep on as well as pet beds if they need more space. We also live in a neighborhood that does not have a lot of traffic and has sidewalks so we can take the dogs on walks. My home can accommodate any level of energy. My dogs are my babies and I definitely understand putting trust in someone to take care of your babies is no easy task. I promise to take care of your pets like they are my own!

“Sylvia was simply outstanding! She watched our cat for two weeks while we were away and I felt so calm knowing Mellie was in good hands. She sends amazing updates and photos and takes the time to make sure your pet is fully cared for. She even went the extra mile by keeping us informed about how our apartment faired while we were away! We will definitely be rebooking the next time we go out of town!”

About: I've had pets all my life and take a lot of pride in caring for them. I am 21 years old and love being around all animals! Growing up on a farm gave me many extra skills while dealing with animals. I have had many kinds of dogs including: Lab, Pit bull, Bulldog, Great Pyrenees, Anatolian Shepard, Border Collie, and Australian Shepard. Therefore, I have experience with large dogs, medium sized dogs, and dogs with high energy. I also love being around cats. Growing up with so many dogs, I have had to administer medicine many times and have no problem doing so. I am a genuine pet lover and will do everything I can to make sure your loved one is happy in your absence! I am a college student who is free in the early mornings, afternoons, evenings, and nights. I am also free on weekends! I can be super flexible to fit your needs! I am very intentional about tailoring my care to each pet's needs. Whether they are high-energy and need to have a lot of exercise or they are super anxious and just need some cuddles and a companion, I am able to do what they need. I have been around all types of dogs and cats, and I look forward to spending time with your furry family members!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was little and have always been obsessed with them! I will treat your pup like my own and give them all of the love and care they deserve. I raised and trained my 1.5 year old pup and can carry on any training with your pup when they are here. I work a full-time remote job so I will be home all day to tend to your dogs needs. I have a 2 year old dog named Finley that I regularly walk before and after work, care for and make treat puzzles for during the day, and I have a very pet friendly home. I am flexible to carry out your dogs routine to make sure they feel right at home! I have a large fenced yard and my own dog to keep your pup company. I can crate your dog when needed or let them roam the house and make themselves comfortable. I always have all food and any hazards out of reach so the pups can’t get into any trouble!

About: I’ve taken care of countless roommates dogs, before getting my own a couple years ago. Before getting my own I did lots of research on training so she could have a happy, healthy, and safe life. I am committed to a dog’s safety and happiness. I am big on positive reinforcement which is how I’ve trained Buttercup. I’ve worked with multiple dogs on leash training, off leash training (minimal), potty training, and other general commands (sit, stay, come, heel, etc.). I’m currently between jobs and waiting for a start date for my new position so my availability is extremely flexible! I’d love to drop in to visit your doggos or Buttercup and I are happy to host at our house. Pups (6months+) and dogs are allowed everywhere in my house except my personal bed. It is a modest home, with a fenced back yard (dog castle included). My dog, Buttercup, loves other dogs and is eager to play and be friends when they are. She has had interactions with both younger pups as well as much older doggos (up to 9 years old) and all interactions have gone well. While she’s on the medium-large end (70-75lbs) her best doggo friends range from significantly smaller (7-12 lbs) to much larger (100+lbs). She interacts well with different sizes.

We will definitely book Ashley again the next time we are out of town! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter in the Manhattan, KS area. Thank you Ashley!”

Sarah J. was such a huge help when I needed a last minute dog sitter. She immediately stepped up and did a wonderful job with my 3 doggos. She genuinely cares about your animals and gives them plenty of snuggles and attention. She took the time to get to know each of their personalities and their individual needs. Highly recommend her 10/10!

Samantha did a great job looking after both of my dogs and cat while I was away for a couple days! Both dogs seemed to love when she came over and played with them, and my shy kitty Luna even eventually trusted her enough to come up to her for pets herself! Samantha was very quick to respond to any messages/questions I would send, and she reallu seemed to like looking after my pets, I can't recommend her enough!

Ruby did a great job, she took care of my animals really well. The only thing I could say is, she does feel a bit robotic at times when conversing compared to other sitters I’ve had. (she might be a shy person I’m not sure) besides that she asked questions if things arise contacts you if there are concerns that regard you pet. You can tell she puts a lot of effort into taking care of animals so I’m thankful.

Meredith took great care of our two kitties while we were out of the country for 2 weeks! She sent such cute photos and often stayed later than what she was scheduled as well! We had an unexpected situation of a bat being found in our house, which she handled so much better than I would have and took the necessary precautions to keep our kitties safe. She doesn’t have many reviews, but I found out it’s only because she also has her own private pet sitting service that she mainly books through! I’d 100% book with Meredith again in the future!

August was one of the best pet sitters we've had in 8 years! He was thorough, kind, and his updates were excellent. We have two cats and they are a little protective and don't love strangers, but I think August won them over. I had complete confidence in his care and will absolutely book him again in the future! Thank you August!!!
