Travis was an excellent housesitter. He communicated well. I came home to a happy dog and a clean house. I would definitely ask him to sit again.

Travis is amazing with dogs! He took great care of our adorable, but sometimes reactive (and very strong) mini-pit, and even helped her behave better on the leash! He is thoughtful, caring, responsible and detail oriented. We look forward to working with Travis again and could not recommend him more highly!

Travis is really great with my dog & she loves seeing him. Astrïd is a sweety, but she has trouble interacting with or being around other dogs. Travis knows exactly how to keep it all going smoothly during walks & Astrïd trusted him pretty quickly. This has alleviated the stress of leaving the dog & freed up our time tremendously. We can’t thank Travis enough…

We have booked Travis several times this year and he is always a rockstar. Super dependable about arriving on time (and we have had some very early morning bookings and a dog that takes meds), walking our 2 old pups, lots of communication with many pictures and updates. He clearly is spending a good amount of time with our dogs playing and cuddling. He goes above and beyond tidying up when he leaves. We feel confident when leaving our dogs with Travis.

Look no further, Travis is a wonderful pet sitter. He seems to understand animals and wins their trust and affection. He is responsible, reliable, professional, and goes the extra distance to keep the gang at home happy and the house in great shape. Looking forward to using him again.

Having Travis stay at your home to care for your pets is like having a long time friend stay who loves them as much as you do! Travis stayed at my house to care for my 2 dogs (one adult, one 4 mo old puppy) and my cat for 8 days. He exceeded my expectations as a house/pet sitter in every way. He checked in several times leading up to the trip and answered all of my questions so I felt very comfortable having him take care of my animals. He stayed in close communication each day that I was gone with picture and video updates, and I could tell my dogs were VERY happy spending time with him. He took my big dog on adventures all over the neighborhood and even bought her new toys for her birthday! He supervised my puppy closely and played with him daily. The house was in great shape and clean when I returned home, and my animals were happy. He was overall so kind and professional. I wish I could give 10 stars!!!

What I need to know: It's important to discuss what to expect from your pet. Each pet has different energy levels, tolerances to heat and cold and social behaviors. Let me know if your pet likes something specific or dislikes anything in particular. I love going on walks with dogs. Let me know if the goal is exercise or sniffing and exploring or both. I love playing with cats and spending time with them. I’m a great kitty friend and am sensitive to their kitty feelings. I am in tune with cat body language and social behavior. I enjoy play time as well as cuddle time. I will keep them indoors unless you give instructions otherwise. I clean cat litter daily and as needed each day.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
