Tara was great. She helped us out on a very short notice and was great with the dogs. She played with them and everything. I would definitely recommend her.

Even though my cat Edison was more interested in Kayla as the bringer of food and stuffing his face; The couple times he decided to not scarf down his food he enjoyed her company and the pets. Kayla also made sure to clean up his messes and had clean water.

Needed a last min drop in while doing our Christmas with my family. Anna was quick to answer and showed up at my house within 30 mins of my initial contact. Would definitely use her help again.

Sarah is awesome! Very professional and you can tell she loves dogs as soon as you meet her, and her interaction with your pup. She goes above and beyond (even brought it my Amazon deliveries!), I trust her 100%, and will certainly request her anytime Asher needs a sitter :)

I just can’t say enough how great Crystal was at taking care of our senior German Shepherd. Ilsa LOVED her even on first meeting. Crystal was so wonderful about sending pictures, and giving us detailed reports of each visit. She was diligent about giving her medications on time, and she spent a lot of time giving her love. We felt so comfortable being away knowing Crystal was taking such good care of our baby. When we came home, Ilsa was calm and not nearly as starved for attention as she usually is when we’ve been away. We will definitely use her again and highly recommended!

Dan & Joy have been watching my Lab Daphne for over three years now. We couldn't be happier with their service and attention they give to Daphne. Dan & Joy are always quick to communicate with me when inquiring about a stay, as well when we are gone we receive constant updates on how Daphne is doing. We highly recommend Dan & Joy.

Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!

I had complete peace of mind when Leticia cared for our cats. She is pleasant, friendly, and obviously loves animals. It helps that she is a veterinarian assistant/technician when caring for your pets. The drop-in visits were great for our 3 cats. One had to be boarded because he was ill and I know she could have cared for our sick cat, Oreo, but I felt it best he was boarded. Leticia even checked in on Oreo while she worked that day. Leticia fed our cats to my instructions and the area with the litter boxes was immaculately cleaned. She even played with two of our cats and gave us relief by finding our 18-year-old hiding upstairs under the sofa by taking pictures of him. I have a difficult time relaxing while away on trips or vacations, but I didn't have that stress hanging over me knowing that Leticia was caring for our pets with updates at every visit. She was even able to stop in for a re-booking on the day we were to return, but our flight was canceled and delayed. She was able to stop in, feed the cats, and take out the litter before going to her work. That was such a relief because I had no idea when our flight was going to leave and when we would return to feed our cats. It was such a positive experience. I've had friends that I have paid for to feed our cats and they never showed up. But I had no such worries with Leticia, as I state again. I highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs. She is a professional, loves animals, and is trained in how to care for your pets as her job as a veterinarian assistant as well as going to Perdue to further her education in becoming a veterinarian. Definitely book Leticia to care for your pet!

We are very dedicated to ensuring our cats are well cared for, and Jasmine did a great job with drop-in visits! Frequent communication, great pictures, and open to asking for clarification when needed. Even our cat who's anxious with strangers seemed to settle into a comfortable routine. +++

Any time Sam’s dog has needed help, she always prioritizes her and makes sure she gets the help she needs. In high school and in college, Sam has been a consistent caretaker of her dog, helps keep her happy and loved, and I know she would be a great addition to the Rover team.

Arriana did great with our boy tank. She took him outside and played with him with his favorite toy. She was very responsive and professional. This was the first time I used Rover and she made it a pleasant experience. I would definitely hire her again. He’s a big energetic dog and she was able to handle him perfectly. Thank you!

About: I want to take care of your pet like I’d want some to take care of mine when I need it the most. I was blessed to have a German Shepard for 10 years and a Golden Retriever for 7 years. I trained them both and took care of them until their last breath. I will take care of your dogs like I use to mine. I'd love to care for your cat and enjoy a cat's company again. Smokey was my first cat and I cherished him dearly. Since he has passed away, I have this want to take care and play with a cat again. I will really like it if you reach out to me if you need someone trustworthy to take care of your fur baby. Let's chat and see if we are right fit. I will respond to you quickly. I am home all day so I can give your fur baby the attention and care he or she will need. I walk daily for my well being so your dog will definitely go for walks if you okay it beforehand. Playtime is a must in my house and I have lots of toys for them to play. Either you have a puppy or a senior dog, you can count on me to take care of them when you need it the most. I have a small backyard that is not fenced, however I don't leave dogs unattended so you don't have to worry about their safety when it comes to the backyard. I will be taking your dog for a walk if you okay it beforehand. Furthermore, I have a crate if that's the way you have trained your dog to sleep at night. Let's chat and see if we are a good match.
