“As a first time rover user, I was nervous but Kyle quickly changed that! He was patient and knowledgeable on interacting with my Dachsund and chiweenie.

14. Angela L.
About: Hello! I live in an extremely clean and comfortable apartment. I am available full-time to take care of your dog. I am seriously an animals-lover - they honestly make me so happy and I am so excited to have the opportunity to take care of your dog. I have taken care of 3 pets by myself including a dog and two cats for 14+ years. I always take time out of my day to give them a lot of love and attention. They are part of my family, and I treat them with great care, and I will definitely love your dog in the same way. Because I am available full-time working from home, I am able to provide dog boarding and doggy daycare. I live with my boyfriend who also works from home, therefore, he and I are going to give a lot of attention to your dog :) Throughout the stay, I will make sure to feed your dog, play with your dog, take your dog for potty breaks, and give all my love and attention :)
15. James D.
“James is a great sitter! Super organized and communicative. He did a long weekend of drop-bys for our senior cat, and it was great peace of mind. Certainly recommend.”
16. Keyona M.
“Always takes such great patient and loving care of our dog when we are away!”
17. Phoebe Z.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Phoebe as a pet caregiver on Rover.com. Her love for animals is truly remarkable. I’ve seen firsthand how she spoils her dog, Mochi, ensuring she's always cared for at the highest level. Phoebe is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and dedicated. She’s always eager to care for any pet and will go above and beyond to meet their needs. Phoebe is a perfect match for this job and would be a great addition to the team.”
18. Susan K.
“Susan was great! She was always on time and sent great pictures of our cat. When we arrived back home I could tell our cat had been well taken care of!”
19. Emily M.
“I can't recommend Emily highly enough as a dog sitter! I’ve known her personally as a friend for years, and it was clear from the outset that she has a genuine love for dogs. She treats my dog like he’s a part of her own family, offering him tons of affection and attention. Not only is Emily incredibly caring, but she’s also extremely responsible across every aspect of her life. I’ve always felt at ease leaving my dog in her care, knowing that she will follow any instructions to the letter. She communicates regularly and goes above and beyond to keep me updated. Highly recommend :)”
20. Vicky S.
“Vicky was INCREDIBLE - took care of my cat like he was her own, sent a ton of pictures and videos and wrote such sweet detailed reports each time she visited. Such a caring and trustworthy caretaker!!”
