“This was our first time using Eni for an overnight stay with our pups. She was fantastic! Her communication along with pictures were great. I will definitely be utilizing Eni in the future as our dogs and home were in excellent hands!”

“I hired Jennifer to stay with my sweet pup over a weekend, hes a little older and he loves being at home. he gets anxious at doggy daycares. She was outstanding, timely, very kind, they played and Snuggled. She took such good care of him. You know when you return from a trip and their energy tells you how their feeling and he was at ease. I highly recommend!”

“Once again Lilly took exceptional care of our Janis. She is very contentious and has great communication. Also leaves the house cleaner than when we left, we already have her booked for 2 more trips.”

About: I have grown up around cats and Dogs all my life. My family has had two family Dogs and 3 cats-who were more so mine, but I still took special care of our Dogs :) If you look at my photos you will see a lot of our family Dog- Max! I love taking him out to the dog park to play with other dogs or taking it easy with him by my side sunbathing. Max and I love little outdoor adventures! And with your pup, we could go on an adventure too! Whether you want your dog to go for a stroll around the neighborhood or an extra-long walk around the park, I’m your girl! I work a full-time job 8 am-5 pm Monday-Friday. I am an early bird and like to wake up extra early to go for a walk or workout before work. This time before work can also be used to take care of your beloved pet. After work, I am flexible as I currently do not live with any pets of my own or have any other major responsibilities. With this in mind, I have the time to perform more than just the necessities of animal care, but to play with and bond with your pet. When caring for pets I make sure to keep the environment safe. For example, if there is a dog who likes to chew on things he should not, I make sure doors remain closed to places he should not be/ I do not have a view of. I also make sure to keep the house exactly the way I entered it, as all items should be in their correct places, and any messes created should be documented and cleaned. When it comes to Dog walking, I make sure to walk at appropriate times. And if you want your dog to go for a walk in a park- I make sure to go to parks I am familiar with.

“Jackie is great! My dog is a 50 lbs , Black Mouth Cur, rescue. She dog sat at my home for a week. She understood just want my dog needed, worked on training while I was away and sent lots of pictures. 10 out of 10, would recommend and plane to book her again for vacation and other things like walks and play.”

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

Michelle W.

“Our dog is scared of many things and we were not sure how she would respond to a new person watching her for a week. Ashley did a wonderful job! She sent us many pictures throughout the week and kept us updated on everything. We highly recommend Ashley!”

Gloria R.

“Sarah was so good with Alina! Took her out for several walks and played with her. So nice to have someone who also was a vet tech as well just in case”

Adam K.

“Matt was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! They loved him so much they were sad to see him leave. Photo updates throughout the whole stay, feedings, several walks, play time and lots of care!”

Kate F.

“Luciana was fantastic with my dog! She is a very responsible young lady who clearly has lots of experience working with animals. Bart loved her immediately- cannot recommend enough!”

Rachel N.

“Juliette was great! She took great care of my 3 dogs, and my house also looked great! She kept in touch with us while we were away and sent us updates every day! I hope to use her again in July.”

Alexandria G.

“Taylor saved us when we needed a last minute sitter for our puppies and she was so sweet and took amazing care of our dogs! We highly recommend her and will be using her from now on! Thank you Taylor!!”

Tony C.

“We are so grateful for Larissa for taking such great care of our three dogs over the 4th of July weekend! She stayed at our home, kept everything tidy, and gave each of our pups so much love and attention. With the fireworks and all the holiday chaos, we were a little worried about leaving them, but Larissa made us feel totally at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, and we could tell our dogs were happy, relaxed, and in great hands. Highly recommend—will absolutely book her again!”

Kaitlyn V.

“Jill was great! Super nice, very professional. Sent me picture updates of the animals twice a day. Zero complaints. I would 100% hire her again.”

Jeremy S.

“John was the epitome of patience, kindness and caring for our senior boy. He did EVERYTHING possible to make our old man feel loved and safe. He slept on the his dog bed with him, played calming music for hours on end, gave him all the meds/blankets/pillows he needed. He changed his diapers, gave him a bath and treated Sampson like he was his own. There really aren’t words to convey how unbelievably loving and kind John was, but I’ll say this: we have a doggy camera in the house to make sure our boy hasn’t fallen and hurt himself (he’s very old and he falls now). Every time I would check the camera, John was sitting right next to our dog: talking to him, petting him and asking him what he needed. This guy is the real deal and absolutely adores animals. I wouldn’t hesitate for 1 second to have him as our sitter again.”

Danielle M.

“Can’t say enough about how much we (and our dogs!) like Laura. This was our first experience with Rover.com and pet sitting at our house and we couldn’t be happier.”

Beth B.

“Gerald seems to excel at whatever does, this we learned after getting to know him. We took a short vacation, leaving our dog Babette in his care. He kept us fully informed with emails and photos. We returned home to find a happy and well cared-for dog. Thank you Gerald!”

About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. My first long-term dog sitting job was for 2 seniors. I have a special place in my heart for older dogs :) I am adept at handling medication and making sure every doggy has their needs taken care of, while also making sure to give them lots and lots of love! I also have a lot of experience with dogs that are nervous/ have anxiety. I have no problem giving extra special care and time so that your dogs can have a stress free experience with someone they can trust! I’m currently only working part-time, so I always have lots of time to play with your pups! My schedule does vary weekly, but I currently don’t work long hours. When caring for pets in your home, I can easily crate a dog if needed. I will always listen to instructions from pet parents, communication is key! You can feel at peace away from home knowing your fur baby’s are receiving proper care and love.

About: I grew up around many different kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, birds, fish, and horses. I have 3 years experience as a veterinary technician, and have some knowledge on caring for older pets or pets that need medication. You can count on me to treat your pet as if they’re part of my own family while you are away at work or on vacation. I’m hoping to make pet care my main focus. I am available 7 days a week. I am very flexible at the moment. Shoot me a message! :) Safety is always number one. I am very cognizant of potential issues and/or threats. I believe that screening each dog’s behavior and history is important in preventing potential issues.
