Julian was the best! Super communicative and send doggie updates daily. He followed the instructions I left behind to a T. He was also on time and punctual. I would absolutely recommend him and will be booking with him again!

This was our 1st time using Rover so my anxiety was high having 2 large dogs needing medication twice a day. Our sitter Cathy was great. We had her over beforehand to meet the dogs and everything went great. 2 of our dogs are Dobermans so they can be protective but all was good. Thank you for all you did and giving us the opportunity to get away and enjoy ourselves.

Caitlyn went above and beyond with our pets. We were able to rest assured that they were in good hands. She was also willing to help us last minute and we couldn't have asked for more.

Kadence was terrific with our babies. We were out of the country but she sent updates, photos and a video. She stayed at our house and took great care of our pups. She’s been very reliable and my dogs love her. We will definitely use her for our next trip!

Laura is a very sweet young lady! She cared for my pets as if they were her own. She kept in contact with me, sent pictures, and called with questions as needed. She followed all instructions perfectly! My pets were well cared for while we were away. We will definitely hire Laura again in the future!

Jennifer did a FABULOUS job with our dog! He is a challenge at times but he absolutely adores her! She was 100% professional and reliable. I give her a 10 out of 10! We have used her for dog/house sitting before and will definitely use her again. She has a real love for animals and is a seasoned professional who follows instructions to the letter!

Aspyn was absolutely amazing while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and check-ins, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dogs and treated them like her own. She was incredibly responsible, reliable, and attentive to all of their needs. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for when we returned home, and we could tell they had received plenty of love and attention while we were gone. Aspyn was also very friendly, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and would wholeheartedly recommend Aspyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. We will definitely be using her again in the future!

Megan was amazing with my pets and my home! She easily followed instructions for my three and their different eating habits, their potty and play schedule, and she even got them new toys! I’m so happy I found someone in the area reasonably priced, great with my pets, who treats them as well as I do. I will always call Megan first when I need a sitter!

About: I'm a 30 year old that currently has three sweet dogs and a cat of her own! I love all animals and I have experience with many different dogs and cats- big, small, playful or couch potato. I'm attentive, energetic and willing to give your pet all the play time they need! Your pet will be treated like royalty, and given all the love and treats they can dream of. I'm flexible, responsible and have plenty of experience caring for both cats and dogs! All of my previous and current fur babies are rescues, and unfortunately, some had horrible past owners. This gave me experience working with pets with anxiety and fear. I'm great with training, and will give your pet positive reinforcement in the form of lots of love, belly rubs, and scritches! Your pup will be in safe, loving hands when I'm around. I'm willing to give baths as well as administer oral medication if needed, and send many updates and pictures during your service! I have a lot experience with senior pets, having had 3 senior pets of my own previous, and currently have an 11 year old senior who gets routine oral medication via pill and oral syringe, so I have practice with admistering both. Having seen many of my pets through their senior lives, I am quick to spot any signs of medical emergency or off symptoms. Your pets will be getting my 12+ years of experience with my own animals. I have a flexible schedule currently, and I'd be happy to do a meet a greet! I hope to hear from you and be trusted with your fur babies! My schedule is pretty open and flexible so I'll have plenty of time to pamper your fur baby! I'm available during weekdays primarily, and can be available most weekends given prior notice. I have a large fenced yard for your baby to run around and play in, and very friendly pets to keep your fur baby company, if they want! I can easily crate your pup if it is needed as well.

We can't say enough good things about Kristen! She stayed at our house and took such good care of Misha, our high energy, 100lb German Shepard mix, for 2 weeks. We never had to worry with all of the great updates she sent us and knew Misha was in great hands with her. She is a true dog lover through and through, has great communication, and went above and beyond to make sure Misha got his enrichment, lots of playtime, and love from her. We can already tell that he misses having her around :) We also really appreciate Kristen making sure to take care of our plants, and basic household things while we were gone, and left the house clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend booking Kristen to care for your fur baby. They'll be in great hands and she will care for them like one of her own. We will definitely be booking with her again soon! Thanks for everything, Kristen!

About: Ever since I was little I was known as the animal lover. I have dealt with all types of animals growing up. I even started training my dogs when I was 8. I have a calm personality so dogs really relax around me. I have great patience and I'm kind. I have experience with senior dogs as well. I have taken care of all my dogs that aged. My oldest dog was a great Dane lived to be 14years old. I had her since she was a puppy. Very familiar with all ages and all breeds as I worked at pets mart as a groomer. I am currently working flexible jobs, I homeschooling my daughter. So I am pretty flexible with my schedule to accommodate your pets care. I will be able to pop in or stay with them. I have a friendly pup who loves company. Your pet would enjoy walks together and have full access to everything. In your home I would respect whatever areas are off limits and respect your wishes with daily walks or runs.

Andy is beyond awesome!!! As soon as he met Mayer, our 8 year old English bulldog, we knew he was going to be fine. He jumped into his arms and that was that! Mayer had never been left with anyone since he was a baby. Where we go, he goes! This time was different. We drove from Georgia to attend our daughter's graduation. Andy became Mayer's new best friend. Mayer doesn't do hot weather. Andy came prepared for all of it. They watched movies, walked in his stroller, played, and ate together.Andy had pizza and Mayer had his burger and cookie. He was very happy and Andy treated him like a king! Andy sent pictures and updates. I think Mayer was sad that he couldn't bring his new friend home with him! Mayer gets what Mayer wants! Leaving with 2 bits of information: 1. If you are lucky enough to get Andy to sit for you, there will be no worries! 2. Andy does not charge enough for what he gives to our treasured babies! (He stayed from 12:00-10:20 with him.) Too bad there are only 5 stars! He needs 10! Maybe Andy will share some pictures.

Jeremy and Shannon did great with my 13-year-old sweet Sadie! This was our first Rover experience and we loved all the updates they sent. Jeremy and Shannon were also able to provide Sadie with her medicine, walks, and attention which was a big relief for us while we were away!

About: I am someone that gets excited when I see a dog or cat and it brings me joy because it’s unconditional love. I would provide the utmost professional experience. Pets are family too!! I am off of work right now and have much time on my hands. I have a vacation booked from 26 to 30th of April. I must have a schedule and a walk through of everything before services are rendered. I love walking and babysitting dogs and willing to do cats as well.
