We had to travel for our daughter's wedding. Lot's of planning and packing. I booked with Jade about a month out. He came and met the dogs. Absolutely delighted to come home freshly vacuumed floor and some very happy Doggies ..He kept us informed. It was so nice to not to stress about the dogs, knowing they were being well taken care of so we could enjoy this big event!

Sarah was AMAZING! Incredibly accommodating. Fantastic, even though last minute. And took care of all FOUR of our fur-babies when we were out of town! Will definitely be using her in the future. Our favorite Rover sitter yet!

Nancy was a joy to work with from the moment I contacted her. She is very responsive when you contact her. We had a meetup with her so we could show have her meet our two dogs and she asked many questions about what the dogs needs were and liked, dislikes etc. while we were on our vacation, she updated us daily with pictures and and what the dogs were doing that day etc. It was very comforting to see photos of my dog, snuggling with her and enjoying their walks. When we returned home, our house was immaculate! Nothing out of place and everything clean as a whistle. I can’t say enough positive things about Nancy. Try her you’ll love her!

About: Hello! I've been an avid dog lover since I can remember. I have taken care of family and friends pups when they are away. My passion and the companions of a dog has made me want to own a dog of my own. I have my own pup of two years now and know how important it is to leave them with someone who will take great care of them, be safe and of course loved. I work remote Mon-Fri so trust me when I say I have plenty of time to play and walk your pup. They will be in great hands and company! During the weekends, I love taking my pup to an open yet dog secluded park to run, play, and train. I do have long leashes for safety, but if you are not comfortable with it- no worries at all, just please let me know. I'm also available most weekends for boarding per request. I have a pup of my own for your pups company as well! In my home I have a crate and can help with training if requested. The pups are free to roam around the apartment/furniture, and I take out to walk every two hours or so. Your pups will be in good hands, but I do request if your pup has a scheduled routine or specific needs/behaviors to please let me know so I can adjust to their needs and behaviors.

About: I have experience with taking care of my pets for years. I also have been trusted to cat sit and dog sit for my friends. I love animals and being able to help out! I work at a summer camp so I have great availability especially in evenings if a family won’t be home late to take a dog on a walk or feed them. I also have weekends available if families go on vacation and need a pet sitter! My cats are very comfortable at home and they are spoiled! I will make sure that your pet is appreciated and given lots of attention. I will make sure that their needs are cared for and that they can gain my trust as a pet sitter.

Courtney is a blessing! She took care of my Spencer while I was away in Boston for the day. She took him out for walks, fed him, spent time with him, and he enjoyed her presence with no anxiety. I highly recommend her and will be contacting her again in the future.

Absolutely amazing experience! She was incredibly attentive and took fantastic care of Winnie while I was away for the weekend. Out of all the photos she sent me, Winnie had the biggest smile on her face in every one — and as a dog mom, that says everything. I could tell Winnie was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoying herself. On top of that, when my flight was delayed five times, she went above and beyond by going back to feed Winnie dinner and let her out, which I appreciated more than I can say. Knowing Winnie was being cared for so thoughtfully took so much stress off my shoulders. I’m beyond happy with the care she provided, would absolutely recommend her to anyone, and I will definitely be using her again!

About: I try to take parts of Cesar Milan's strategy with dogs specifically. Trying to not reward bad behavior. Making sure a pet can respect my boundaries. I work flexible hours as an independent contractor so I make my own schedule. I am building my pet care business so I am signing up for a drone pilots license for pet recovery. I am also working on upgrading my vehicle to a minivan. I am offering pet sitting in your home until that can change to my home. I am needing different things done to my home before I can bring pets to my house.

Chris took very good care of our dog, Millie! He was very communicative at the end of every day letting us know how our dogs day was, along with pictures. I also appreciated while staying at our house it looked the same way when we left it. (No mess). We will definitely use Chris again for future dog/house sitting!

Michael was a wonderful pet sitter for our 4 dogs. He developed a great rapport with them and was super attentive to their needs. He took good notes for us and managed their schedules and took great care of our home as well! Michael stayed later than originally expected as we ran late getting back and was proactive in getting in touch with us and ensuring everyone was well taken care of!

Tamia did an amazing job with our Boxer girl and Boxer/Black Lab/Short-Haired Pointer Boy. Our two babies are very rambunctious and we live on a private property that requires a lot to manage the dogs and the space. She did an amazing job, allowing us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our babies. She sent us videos and photos of our babies, loving on her, and I felt at peace that they were being well cared for. They really love her too, and I could see them getting excited bringing her toys and things and I felt safe, keeping her in our home. Thank you so much Tamia! We’ll be using you again.

Sarah did such a wonderful job taking care of my cat Fiona over Christmas! She is the most flexible and communicative sitter we’ve ever had. Holiday travel can be such a nightmare; I ended up having to change my flight time at the very last minute, and Sarah was quick to respond and get here a little earlier than we initially agreed. The peace of mind that comes from that reliability is worth gold! She also pays super close attention to any instructions you provide. I only showed her where the cleaning spray was briefly before I left, and when Fiona had tummy problems, she was able to take care of her mess perfectly and report back to me only after it was already cleaned up. She was also great with updates and photos all day long, which I always appreciate! Lastly, she cleans up before she goes and leaves your home cleaner than she found it. We could not have asked for better care during this busy season. Can’t wait to have her back!

Kelsey house sat and cared for our dog and two cats while we were on vacation. We could not be happier with her. All the pets, even the grumpy old cat loved her. Especially our dog. She took him out for walks with another dog of the same breed which he loved and took him to the dog park to play. The house was clean when we got back and she even put the sheets in the washing machine and ran it. We got regular photos and updates from her on the pets which is wonderful. An excellent person who we will use again.
