Eliana was absolutely amazing. My partner and I have a disabled fur baby with a number of special needs, and Eliana was incredibly diligent, asked all the right questions, followed our instructions closely, and took such great care of Miss Bean and our home. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and couldn’t have been more appreciative. I will absolutely be reaching back out for future travel plans. She was a dream to have stay with our fur baby!

Elizabeth is always so great with my dog! I really appreciate the consistent pictures and updates while I’m gone, it really puts my mind at ease. This is my second time having her house sit and both times have been amazing!

Faith showed up for every drop in and took my babies for walks. She kept an extra close eye on Neville because he’d just had a tooth extracted and was on a soft diet with pain meds. Faith patiently soaked his kibble and proportioned his wet food to go with it and I’m so grateful for that. She was great with my fur children.

Allison was great! She was very accommodating and communicative before the stay, and continued to be awesome throughout the stay. She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend, which I really appreciated. We came home to a super happy pup and a very clean home! I will definitely be using Allison again and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Allison!!

I was very nervous as a first time Rover user and so happy I found Emily! She asked detailed questions about my dogs care and habits during our initial meet and greet which put me at ease, sent photo updates during her stay where he seemed very happy / comfortable with her and came home to a clean place. Would definitely book again!

Before beginning my career, I’m taking some down time and taking care of animals. This gives me the ability to prioritize your pets needs! My environment is animal friendly. I have a fenced in back yard and live near a park. I have a cat named Ida who is welcoming to new animals inside our home. I allow animals on my bed and furniture.

Took amazing care of our dogs while we were away for 10 days! She kept us up to date regularly and took some of the best pictures. She also got them comfortable with short outdoor walks which we plan to keep up now that we’re back. Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs !

About: I love animals! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently work from home Tuesdays and Fridays so I’m available anytime those days for walking and play dates. I am available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday after 3:00 and any time on the weekends. I have a Boston Terrier of my own name Jax – love him so much !! I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I couldn't imagine my life without Jax. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life. Seeing his little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I will walk and care for you pet as if they are my own. I am trustworthy, reliable and always punctual so if you need someone to a walk your dog while you are at work, working late, venturing on a night on the town or just need someone to check in on them and play I am your girl. I will send pictures and videos to let you know they are in good hands.

About: I am trained as a Certified Veterinary Technician that has given me the skills and knowledge to provide safe, attentive care. I’m better equipped to recognize potential health concerns, handle unexpected situations, and know when a pet may need veterinary attention. I truly love caring for animals and meeting new pets, taking the time to learn their unique personalities and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and dedicated to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic four days a week. Your pet must be okay with being alone during normal work hours, but otherwise I can provide plenty of companionship, care, and attention. I do not offer boarding in my home, but I am happy to provide house sitting in your home. I will treat your home with the same respect and care I would my own, leaving everything just as I found it.

Ruby did a fantastic job taking care of our pets and our home!! We came home to three very happy nuggets. I think she brushed them while we were away, since our (very large) dog’s coat is super shiny - and she even took out the trash before leaving! We had to extend our trip by 2 days for a family emergency, and she was incredibly flexible and was able to provide care for the additional 2 days. Ruby definitely went above & beyond, and we’d love to have her sit for our dog & 2 cats again any time!

Jayden always does such a phenomenal job with my senior cat. My kitty is rather incontinent and very old, so naturally it is difficult to leave her with many people, but Jayden always treats her so well. They always ask specifically what my cat needs, keep me well updated, and my house cleaner than I left it. I never feel like I'm bothering them when I text and ask for updates. They really understand how hard it can be to leave your pet and that makes it so much easier to relax on vacation. Jayden is the only pet sitter we will use!!

Jorie was great with my anxious dog Bear! She was patient, calm, and gently assertive where needed and he felt very comfortable with her. He can be reactive with strangers and she handled him well. Bear fell into his normal routine quickly, and relaxed at home during the house sit.

Allison was absolutely wonderful with our French bulldog and two cats. As protective pet parents, this was our first time leaving all three of them in someone else’s care, so naturally we were a little apprehensive. Allison immediately put us at ease by offering two consultation visits before our trip so she could thoroughly understand our pets’ individual needs, routines, personalities, and home environment. That level of preparation and genuine care meant a lot to us. Throughout our vacation, Allison was incredibly attentive and responsive. She arrived early and kept us updated with multiple messages and plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she wasn’t simply checking in on our pets, but genuinely caring for them and making sure they were happy and comfortable. She even went above and beyond by offering thoughtful advice for our continued care of the pets, which we really appreciated. You can tell Allison truly loves animals and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. She also left the house tidy and in great shape. It was such a small gesture, but after coming home from a long trip, walking into a clean and tidy home made a bigger difference than she probably realized. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets and felt completely comfortable knowing they were in Allison’s hands. She helped make our vacation so much more enjoyable because we never had to worry about how things were going at home. We would absolutely recommend Allison and will definitely be using her services again. Thank you, Allison, for taking such wonderful care of our babies and allowing us to have such a relaxing vacation. We truly couldn’t have done it without you!

Derek was great with my two German Shepherds! I have two older, German shepherds who are rescues-one has had separation anxiety in the past and the other needs daily medications. Derek was available on short notice and came over to meet them before staying at our place for three days. He sent regular updates and photos while we were away, and was very good at communicating. I could tell my dogs were at ease with him which gave me so much peace of mind! Would definitely recommend Derek!

Stephanie came over for a Meet & Greet and immediately clicked with our puppy. We loved that Stephanie listened carefully to our instructions (first time leaving new puppy!) and exhibited that in her detailed periodic reports throughout the sitting period. We felt comfortable leaving our puppy with Stephanie, and will happily book her again on Rover for future sittings!

We have 2 cats, one who has always done well with sitters and I knew would be fine, and one who had never been away from us and always hides when guests come over. Maired did great with both of them! She stayed in our house while we were out of town and by the end of her stay both cats were playing, cuddling, eating just like they would if we were there. Our whole goal with getting a sitter was to disturb their routine as little as possible and she did exactly that! We received daily updates and photos while we were away and came back to a clean, well kept home. Highly recommend!

My dogs and I had a really great experience with Hunter. He was able to make availability for me a week out from a four day trip and took great care of my dogs and apartment! Great communication, great demeanor and patience with my anxious and reactive dog, was very willing to do whatever was part of their daily routine, and inspired a lot of confidence in me to trust a stranger in my apartment and with my two buddies for the first time in a meet and greet prior to the trip. I’ll absolutely book again with Hunter the next time my buddies need to hang out with someone for a few days. Thanks Hunter!
