Shantalee was great! We reached out at the last minute and she was very understanding. She took great care of our 3 dogs and was very communicative. She kept them happy and comfortable. We will definitely be booking her again!

Kevin was fantastic with Cosmo, we had scheduled him to watch Cosmo at our house for a long weekend and he took care of Cosmo and the house. He sent regular updates of the dog with images during the weekend and had let us know that his food was getting low so that we could order a new bag while we were out. I hope to schedule Kevin again in the future, he did a fantastic job.

Heather took care of my young, high-energy dog while we were on vacation for a week and did an excellent job. We received frequent unsolicited updates, which I really appreciated. She did a great job keeping him busy and entertained. She also left our house very neat and tidy. I would absolutely book with her again in the future.

I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D

Because of our experience, we have already booked her again and will continue to in the future!

Amazing experience for this new dog owner! Petra was extremely quick to reply and kept me up to date on how my puppy was doing my first night out after getting her. My dog was comfortable with her right away and Petra did an amazing job taking care of her.

Our experience with Jessica was absolutely amazing. We were gone for a week, and she took such incredible care of our two dogs. Taking care of two dogs can be a lot, but Jessica handled everything so well and made the whole process stress-free for us She kept us updated regularly with pictures and messages, and it was clear the dogs were getting tons of love, attention, and care every single day. One of our dogs is usually cautious around new people and was completely adamant about not warming up to anyone at first but by mid week, they had become best buddies. Seeing that level of trust and comfort honestly meant so much to us. When we got home, the dogs were so happy, relaxed, and attached to her routine that it actually took them almost 10 minutes to realize we were back! That alone says everything about how comfortable and cared for they felt during the stay. We’re very grateful for the care and attention she gave our pups and would gladly trust her again in the future. Highly recommend

Natasha was great. She came over to the house before I accepted the service to make us comfortable and to meet the pups, she asked all the right questions (vet, emergency contact, etc), and took great care of the pups. Will definitely rebook!

Rima was very attentive with the dogs. She sent pictures and videos frequently so that we could see that the dogs were doing well. She spent a lot of time outdoors with them. She cleaned up after their poops. She washed towels and sheets so we came home to a clean house. We would use Rima again. We travel frequently to visit our children.

Lex was an excellent In-house sitter for our 4 pets while we were away for Christmas Holiday.She lovingly cared for our 2 little 10 yr old dogs and 2 cats that had never been apart from us .She sent updated pics and messages. She made 2 meet and greets prior to our scheduled booking just so the pets could get used to her.She left the house spotless! If it wasn’t for Lex, we could never had gone away for the Holiday. Our dogs are paper trained only and Lex kept up with that meticulously and cleaned the litter box regularly. We would highly recommend Lex to anyone needing a loving and nurturing pet sitter. She is very trust worthy to let stay in your home.Lex will be our go-to pet sitter again for sure!!

About: My name is Kylie and I’ve always had such a strong passion for animals. I’m currently in school to be a licensed veterinary technician. While I pursue this, I also work full time in an animal emergency clinic. I have had 2+ years of animal emergency experience, including large dogs and cats, and even reptiles like snakes! I am comfortable pilling animals and have direct access to emergency care 24/7 in case your fur babies need it❤️. I currently own 2 cats of my own and a ball python. I’ve owned large dogs my whole life including a Cane Corso & Giant Schnauzer! I currently work full time in the animal emergency clinic. My schedule is Tuesday 11a-11p - Friday 7a-7p - Saturday 1p-1a and I do pick up shifts here and there. With this being said, I can come by before and/or after my shifts. I am currently not accepting boarding as my current living situation is not feasible for more animals than I currently own. I can care for pets in your home!
