This was the first time I’ve used this kind of service, and was really nervous, but I couldn’t have chosen a better provider than MO. She was exceptional, from sending me daily pictures and videos, to text letting me know my two babies were doing great. Definitely 5 stars across the board ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jessica and her family were wonderful with our dog Jack! He seemed right at home at their house for the long weekend. Her kids paid lots of attention to Jack which he can never get enough of. We got plenty of updates over the weekend so we knew exactly how he was doing. We will definitely be using Jessica again in the future!

Chris was able to take Oliver at short notice for a trip I went on. We had a prior meet and greet so I felt comfortable with what to expect. Chris updated me on Oliver and sent pictures. Oliver looked like he had a great time with Chris and Dolly (his pup). He went straight to sleep when I brought him home!

Nate and the family were great. They made the process simple. We enjoyed receiving a couple pictures and a video over the 3-4 day stay. Once home, our pup passed out from all the excitement he had at Nate’s. Job well done.

About: Animal lover who understands that pets are family. Ive always had animals in my home and have experience caring for my own and friends/family fur babies when they are away. I will provide a safe and loving environment where your pet will be comfortable and cared for like they are part of the family. I've cared for animals in every stage of life. I have extensive experience with cats including bottle-feeding orphaned kittens, caring for senior cats, and supporting pets with age related needs. I also have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I understand that each pet requires individualized care, patience, and attention. Open to hosting dogs in home and drop-ins for your kitties while you are away! I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide frequent supervision and attention throughout the day. Work is flexible allowing for lots of time love and activities. I have a large, fully fenced backyard for supervised outdoor play with my dog. When not outdoors our house guest will primarily stay with me in my home office as my co-worker and side kick. With lots of breaks for tummy rubs and head scritches of course!

So grateful to have found Crissy! My dog is a pretty anxious little guy and often takes awhile to warm up to new people, but he warmed up to Crissy almost immediately. He was already cuddled up on the couch with her just a few minutes after I dropped him off. Thank you Crissy for taking such good care of my boy!

We Loved working with Kerrie N. at Rover!! Working with a 1st time dog Sitter for an extended stay (8 days) takes a little bit faith & trust in the caregiver Plus + the other reviews on the Rover website. After talking to Kerrie and meeting her, we knew that she would be Good! She was So sweet & caring for our beloved Baxter (Britney-Poodle ) but also able to handle our young & very Active doggie, keeping him involved with her own dog, plus a few other dogs, with Great playtime activities, walking, feeding instructions, etc. This is due to her Years of experience Dog sitting, Plus being a dog owner, + Gpreat set up in her home & a fenced in backyard. Kerry was both flexible with our schedule and sent pictures frequently as requested. Our Doggie was happy & healthy when we picked him up, which is always importan!. Overall a great experience! 👍🏼👍🏼 We would highly recommend Kerrie for your own dog sitting needs, and plan to use her again. Thanks Kerrie! 🙏 😊

We had a great experience with Ariel and Alex! They were accommodating, responsible, and easy to work with. They asked thoughtful questions about our pup’s routine and personality. Their dog, Ellie, welcomed Liesl right away, and they were enjoying each other’s company. They have a large, shaded, fenced, and well-maintained backyard. Ariel and Alex are genuine, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the dogs they watch. We’d happily have Liesl stay with them again.

Dallas may have enjoyed her vacation even more than we enjoyed ours 😂 Angie and her family took amazing care of Dallas while we were away. They gave her so much love, attention, and plenty of pets, and it was clear she felt right at home. Their large backyard was perfect for playtime, and their joyful, caring family made us feel completely at ease. We came home to a happy dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily trust Angie with Dallas again!

Kylee took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle while we were away for 10 days in Italy. She kept in great contact, sending daily photos and videos. She spoiled our dog by taking him on 2 walks per day, more than he gets at home! She cared for him like he was her own. I’d highly recommend her!
