Beth was fantastic. Very trustworthy and struck a great balance between letting us know how our dogs were doing and letting us enjoy our trip in peace knowing they were in good hands! We would definitely go with her again.

Rebecca did a wonderful job and I would definitely recommend her as a sitter! She was flexible with my last minute changes and gave updates and pics. This helped my anxiety as my pup wasn’t feeling well when I left, so the reassurance was much appreciated!

Ashlyn took very good care of Nyla and Alyn. They were pooped when we got home. That means lots of play time. Ashlyn was able to change the schedule at last minute notice. Which I greatly appreciated! Our home was clean and she even started the laundry! My only recommendation for her is to take photos of the pets while the owners are gone! 🥰

Rachel did a great job caring for our beloved, Jack. She stayed the night with him while we were away and got him to the park twice every day -- sending a photo every time so we could see his sweet face. She also kept our house in good order, getting packages off the porch, etc. We will use Rachel again!

What a wonderful experience we had with Jennifer. This is the longest we have left home without Elmer. Jennifer provided great updates multiple times a day. She even pointed out some seasonal allergy symptoms he was having and we were hopefully able to remedy. Jennifer took meticulous care of our home. She went above and beyond with tasks at the house, but most importantly, she took great care of Elmer and made him feel so loved while we were away. She is truly a professional and has lots of love to give for special family members.

About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!

About: Hi, I’m Annabelle, a 27 year old attorney by day and pet sitter after hours! I’m new to Rover but have over 7 years of pet sitting experience, caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities (see photos for some of my regulars!) I’ve had pets my entire life and currently have a cat named Chicken. I’m joining rover to expand my clientele and meet some new furry friends! I’m currently working full time but have a flexible schedule. I am generally available before 8am and after 4pm on weekdays. I’m available anytime on weekends. Outside of pet sitting, I work full time as an attorney, meaning I have passed the rigorous professional background checks and character screenings necessary to be admitted to the bar. I pride myself on being communicative, reliable, and detail-oriented. I know how hard it is to leave your pet for long periods of time, so I always make sure to provide plenty of photos and check ins. I’m always more than happy to set up a phone call or meet and greet before our first session. I am SUPER type A about my home, so you can be assured I will treat your home with care and respect. That means ensuring doors are locked and alarms are set if necessary, putting things back where I found them, cleaning up any messes I might leave, and not touching anything that I don’t need to! Feel free to message me with absolutely any questions or concerns!

About: I started working with animals when I was in elementary school (about 10 years old). I would pet sit for my neighbors, which included playing and walking their dogs, feeding dogs and cats, and cleaning up cat litter boxes. I have an Australian shepherd of my own so I understand the importance of finding someone who loves and cares about your pet as much as you do. I am comfortable caring from pets anywhere from puppyhood/kittyhood through seniors. I have cared for multiple pets at the same time (the more the merrier!) and can anticipate their needs so any anxiety can be minimized. Please reach out with any questions, I am happy to answer any of them! I am graduating from graduate school and while I wait for my credentialing, I have a lot of free time. I take my own dog on three walks per day, so I can fit whatever exercise they need into my schedule. I am available weekends and nights starting at the end of June and on an as needed basis until May 14th. I would also be happy to house sit so that you have peace of mind and your pet doesn't have to acclimate to a new environment! I do not intend to bring other animals into my home as I already have dog. I would be more than happy to house sit so that your pet does not have to experience the anxiety of becoming acclimated to a new space. I have house sat/dog sat on multiple occasions throughout the years and I feel confident in my ability to not only take care of a beloved member of your family, but to do so in a place where they feel calm and comfortable.

This was our first time using Morgan for our two medium sized dogs and she did a fantastic job! Our boys were well taken care of. During the meet and greet she asked good questions to get a picture of their likes and dislikes. She took notes of their schedule to make sure she maintained it. She sent lots of pictures of the walks they went on throughout the day. The boys were happy and worn out when we came home. We will definitely use her again for our boys when the need arises.

We had a great experience working with Kaitlyn to watch our 2yr old Lab, Gus, for a day. Gus is a rescue with some behavior quirks and she was very good about helping us further his training exercises while we were gone. In the process of setting up the dog-sit, she was timely with communication and reliable with scheduling. We are looking forward to working with her again later this month on a longer stay!
