We’re so thankful to have Morgan check in on our doggies yet again! She does an amazing job of caring for them and taking the cutest pictures to send to us while we’re away! Looking forward to our next vacation because we know our doggies are in great hands!

Lisa was great to work with! This was my first time using a Rover sitter, so it was nice to start with someone who has so much experience. Lisa was communicative and provided excellent updates while we were out of town. We appreciate her time and care of our kitty!

We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.

Thank you for taking care of our babies!! You did a great job and a fantastic job keeping us up to date hiw Daisy and Kimo was doing!!! They were happy to see us back home. Daisy quickly came to the garage door when she heard us!! And yes you forgot the lunch bag. If you want you can still stop by and pick it up. The alligator Daisy had in the middle of the floor, we don’t recognize it. Where did it come from?

Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!

About: I have well over 24 years caring for dogs. I believe a house isn't a home without a dog. We (me and my family) lost our dog, Teddy, about 11/2 years ago. It has been very hard living without him. I still look for him at the door whenever I come home. We are still heartbroken from his passing. Someday we hope to find the courage to love again. Until then we want to love on all the doggies that come to stay and play with us. When your dog is here he/she is part of our family. Please be willing to come by with your pup for a meet & greet before any reservations are made. Our main concern is that you are completely comfortable leaving your fur-baby with us. Here is a coupon for $20 off. Your Promo Code: TIFFAK87923 Your promo code is only for new Rover members you recruit through your profile link. Rules and restrictions apply—read our Terms of Service to learn more. I work for H&R Block during tax season, January thru April. I am home all day the rest of the year to care for your doggie. I care for your dog as if he/she were my own. We will go on walks to Greenbelt Park, Grays Lake, and all throughout our neighborhood. We can play fetch in our yard. Also, belly rubs are a must :)

Stacy took really good care of my cat, Lily while I was away! I always hate leaving my cat when I'm away, but it was good to know that someone was taking such good care of her! I got updates everyday and Stacy would stay even longer than I asked her to play with Lily and make sure Lily was happy =)

Cory is just the best. I have used him for years and I can always take a trip without worrying about my pets. He completely goes over and beyond an even stopped in to give a bonus visit when I was on vacation. A few years ago he was watching my animals when I was on a trip and there was a tornado warning. He even took my little Lily home with him to be safe. He’s the best!

Eric was amazing. My cats fell in love with him right away. He provided detailed updates with tons of cute pictures so I knew they were in good hands. He was incredibly accommodating to my requests on times, feeding schedules etc. My cats are messy and when I came home there was absolutely nothing out of place, so I know Eric went above and beyond to make sure our arrival back home was stress free. I will definitely be booking him again.

We love having Brad take care of our dogs when we are away in the summer. He does everything he is supposed to and more! He checks in regularly, sends pictures, we added a dog this year and he came over to meet them beforehand and find out what would be new. He even changed our smoke alarm battery because our dog was terrified of it beeping! The dogs love him too.

Monica did a great job taking care of my 3 kitties while I was away for a week. This was only my second time using a pet sitter and I am always nervous to leave my babies. Monica sent updates and pictures every day so I was reassured they were alright. I’ve already requested another booking with her.

We were truly lucky to have Dawn as our cat sitter for nine days while we were traveling outside of the US. From the very beginning, it was clear that she genuinely cared for Boogie and Ollie and treated them as if they were her own. She followed all of our detailed instructions carefully and kept us updated, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I know it can be challenging to care for pets in someone else's home, especially when there are many little routines and preferences to remember, but Dawn did a fantastic job. Our cats were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home. We sincerely appreciate her help, professionalism, and the kindness she showed to our cats. We would gladly trust her with Boogie and Ollie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
