Savannah is the most loving and sweet dog sitter! We had her overnight caring for our mini doodle-and when we came home-he did not even run to us-he stayed right by her side and was happy, content, and for the first time ever, he was not depressed while we were gone. So glad we found her!!

Lisa was great!!! This was our first dog/house sitting with Rover. We were hesitant having a stranger in our home but Lisa made me feel at ease during our initial meeting. She seemed genuine and extremely kind. She respected our home as it was her own. She took the initiative to gather used items and left our home very clean. She kept the dogs routines, did everything we asked and followed our home request. Our dogs were spoiled that’s for sure!!! So grateful to have met her.

It’s so nice to come home and just know the cats were well cared for. Rebeccah also brought in a package and cleaned out pets dishes too. Wonderful experience and we would recommend her services.

I've known Kimberly for a few years now and I think she is a very responsible pet owner. Not only does she take good care of her pet but she has also taken care of other dogs that I know. She is quite knowledgeable about various breeds and she truly enjoys taking care of them. Almost every time we have spoken, she is out on a walk with someone's dog, whether it's just a short walk to exercise or a walk to the local dog park to play. I would feel more than comfortable leaving my dog with her for any length of time, knowing it would be well taken care of.

Sarah is seriously the best sitter we’ve had!! She took great care of my pups - she was gentle with them, made sure they had lots of play time outside, and was even able to befriend my pup who is sketched out by everyone. Aside from that, I expected to come home with sad plants just to find out she had watered my veggie garden every day! Truly an amazing sitter that I will rebook and refer to others!

Rob did an amazing job housesitting for us, he was great with our fur baby and kept the house immaculate. He even did more things that we did not ask him nor expect him to do. Highly recommend his services, we were very happy knowing our house and pup were left in good hands! Thanks a lot Rob!

Emma was so great! Roxy was very well cared for and she took great care of our house too. We were sent updates and pictures, she got our mail for us, and cleaned up when Roxy brought some mud into the house. I felt very comforted knowing that she was with Roxy while we were gone. I would absolutely book Emma again to watch Roxy!!

Andrew is wonderful with animals and the animals love him. He recently rescued a momma cat and her kittens. He has a dog that he also rescued. He takes care of them. Animals gravitate to him. He is a special person and the animals sense it and want to be around him. We have had pets since he was little and he was always great around them and took good care of them.

About: We always had a dog in my family while my kids grew up we had 2 pitbull mixes, 1 Morkie, and now Maya. Our first dog we raised as a puppy. The others were rescues. I work from home with a flexible schedule. So I can make just about anything fit. I’m an early riser too so anytime after 4am works My home has a fenced back yard so there is a lot of room to roam. I’m used to walking dog on leashes and also used a gentle leads.

Being a first time dog owner and needing someone to watch Taylor was a bit nerve wrecking for me but I was easily calmed when we met ahead of time and saw how much Taylor enjoyed you. Thank you for caring for her like she was your own. I have no doubt we’ll be seeing you again in our future needs. Thank you!

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Just graduated from college a couple months ago. Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.

Eli was great and extremely professional. He stayed with my 67 pound pitbull (Tank) all day and took great care of him and played with him. I definitely recommend booking Eli and will use his services in the future.

Having Kiesha watch my dogs for me allowed me to focus on work rather than worry about my dogs. She updated me on their behavior, she told me how they were doing, and even took one of my dogs to a scheduled vet appointment for me. I was able to rest easy with Kiesha watching them, I will definitely be using her again!

I highly recommend Maddie. She watched my cats Julius and Junior for a week doing frequent drop ins through out the day. She send me pictures and kept open communication through out the week. I appreciated that!. She went above and beyond with their care, from basic needs cleaning little box, feeding twice a day, to wiping their eyes due to flat faces, play time and cuddles on the couch. I felt at ease the entire trip knowing my fur babies got exceptional care. She was professional, showed up as promised daily on time, locked doors and left everything in place as was. I will 100% be reaching back out for future trips to Maddie.
