Allison was AWESOME!!! She took excellent care of our babies. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned home. She communicated often and asked great questions to make sure she was the right things for our babies. She was also very flexible as our leave and return times were not definite. I would highly recommend her!

We were apprehensive leaving Joey with someone we didn’t know due to some special needs but felt at ease when connecting with Dawn during our meet and greet. Dawn was great and Joey was well cared for. She provided us with updates and we didn’t worry about him one bit. We’ll definitely ask Dawn to care for Joey again!! Thank you Dawn!!

I got photo updates from him without having to ask and he was on time to get to my house before we left out of state. If we needed a sitter again, we’d definitely book with Travis.

We would highly recommend Jess to anyone who needs a pet sitter. She was easy to communicate with. She sent us daily updates and pictures like we requested. She was respectful of our home and kept it nice and tidy. We didn't have any worries leaving town with her watching our house and dog. We met her prior to hiring her which put our minds at ease. She bonded with our dog and I would say my dog misses having her here. We will definitely hire her again the next time we leave town.

About: 1 year of professional dog and cat daycare and boarding experience. 2 years of dog and cat fostering including disabled kittens. Current loving home of 2 cats and a dog. I'm currently living at home after high-school and am unemployed. I used to work at a dog and cat daycare and boarding facility, but decided I wanted to make my own schedule. I'm not very social besides with animals so my schedule is open and flexible. I own 2 cats and a dog so I'm unable to board or pet sit at my own house, but I can travel to your house and look after your furry friend in an environment I'm sure they're more comfortable in anyway.

I’d definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again!

About: Pets are the best things in the world! I’ve grown up with my own pets and nothing makes me happier. I have pet sat 30 pets in my time and I’d love to watch yours too! I’ve even fostered 3 dogs in my own home, all of which have been adopted. Adding a pet is just an extra step to everyday routine and I’d love to share all my love with them too! I work full time, but again pets are family! They are something you cater to everyday and make time for no matter what. Everyone has their own needs and so do pets, so I will be make sure they are well taken care off based off each individual need. I have a fenced yard, no other pets in the house (as of now). Depending on the dogs needs/ owners wants I can accommodate to what is needed!

She has watched my cats multiple times and there is genuinely no one else I would trust them with. Whether it’s giving them wet food, taking them on extra walks, or finding news toys and ways to keep your pets happy and entertained she is willing to do it.

My previous Rover moved out of state, so I found Dawn and am so pleased! She understood my situation with my old ARL adoptee and didn't make me seem like a crazy cat lady :) She stayed over-nights with him and was able to also bring him out of his shell (and hiding) after just one visit. We met a few weeks before for the arrangement and I found her to be very conscientious and easy to communicate with. I'd definitely recommend and will be seeing about another vacation for me!

House Sitting
5 out of 5.0 stars

Adriana was amazing; not only with the animals but with our home as well. She was incredibly respectful when it came to the type of care I wanted and went above and beyond with communicating everything with me. She will definitely be our number 1 Rover gal now!:)
