Erin was fantastic! We had severe storms while we were away and Erin was conscientious enough to watch the sump pump and take care of the patio furniture so it wouldn't get blown away too. We were grateful for that!! She took several amazing photos of our dog and communicated daily. We will definitely use her services again in the future. She has a very sweet personality too!!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Abigail was dependable and timely, kept in great communication the entire time, and sent lots of sweet photos of our dog. It made being away so much easier. She also left our home incredibly tidy, which we truly appreciated. We will absolutely be booking her again!

Hannah was great! We got tons of photos throughout our trip and she was extremely communicative about what was happening at our house, why and when. We came back to the house just the way we left it. She even took care of all of our geckos as well! This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend!

Jennifer was the best! She watched our cat and senior dog for 9 day while we were out of the country. She sent us daily photos and updates and was so responsive to us. Our cat who is shy bonded with her immediately! And she was great paying special attention to our senior dog who can have medical issues from time to time. I would 100% recommend her! I will definitely rebook the next time we have to leave our girls.

Kate was amazing!! She checked in often and sent photos of my dogs daily! Dolly is usually timid of people but she was really comfortable with Kate! She stayed at my home and was with them majority of the time! They had constant care and attention. When I returned she started laundry for the bedding and towels, and left everything spotless! It doesn’t even look like she was here which is such a blessing to come back to a clean home! I would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter!

About: I've been pet-sitting for neighbors for years and I love the opportunity to spend time with different pets while offering peace of mind to their owners as they travel, with the ability to stay in their own home environments and accommodate their unique needs. I have plenty of experience with both dogs and cats, and I don't have a job outside the home so I am available to provide frequent care and stay with your pets day and night. I'm currently not working outside of the house, so I have plenty of availability to provide frequent care to any pets who may benefit from it. I don't care for pets in my own home, so there's no need to worry about any outside factors or unfamiliar situations for your pets. I will carefully follow your instructions to keep your pets happy and safe and your home in good condition, while making sure to respect your privacy and property at all times.

About: I’m a big animal lover and enjoy being around pets of all kinds. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I know how important pets are to their families, so I’ll do my best to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently working a part time job for a couple hours a day a few times a week I’m a very active person I like to get out of the house and get things done. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routine and any care instructions from their owner.

I really can’t say enough great things about Maddie. She’s the first pet sitter we’ve ever hired and I immediately felt good vibes from her and felt I could trust her with my babies. She sent me pictures and updates and even drew a beautiful pictures of my Birdie Girl 🩷 My house was clean when we came home and nothing was out of place. I recommend her 100% and I hope to have her watch my babies again!
