We recently hired Mary to take care of our beloved Ralph and Louis. We couldn't be happier with the service! She is very calm, punctual and best of all we received regular updates, which gave us a piece of mind that Ralph and Louis are taken care of. We would definitely book again with Mary!

Joanna was amazing. My pups loved her and she went above and beyond to care for them. I felt rest assured they were in good hands while I was out of town. I highly recommend her and I will be having her come again in the future.

Emma was amazing with our somewhat needy toy poodle! Our puppy was depressed that we left and would not eat or sleep well the first couple days, but Emma went way out of her way to encourage her until she was more comfortable…and within a few days, our puppy did much better! Communication from Emma was frequent and clear and she did a great job problem-solving with us at a distance! Would use her again in a heartbeat!

Emily was incredible. She didn’t just watch my dog, she cared for him like he was her own and treated my home with the same thoughtfulness and respect. From the moment they met, my dog was instantly comfortable with her. She played with him, took him on walks and runs, and gave him all the snuggles and attention he could possibly want. She sent tons of photo updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. But what really made her stand out is how considerate she was with my home. Everything was spotless when I returned, and she even stayed until I got back so he didn’t have to be alone. I walked into a sweet welcome note and fresh flowers, such a thoughtful touch and a truly warm homecoming. I cannot recommend Emily highly enough. She is attentive, trustworthy, incredibly kind, and clearly loves what she does. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!.

About: I have experience with many types of animals, including my own. I have volunteered at standard animal shelters and even horse rescues. I have been sitting for a few months now with some wonderful families. Check out my references for more details! Fun Fact: I have also owned cats, dogs, and even a guinea pig. Since I am an online nursing student, I have a completely flexible schedule. You tell me when you need me! I am available weekdays, weekends, and weeknights. I am great with medication management as well as making sure your pet has adequate play time outside their traditional routines. I am also good at following directions on how you want your pet's day to look.

About: Hi there! My name is Nicky (he/they) and I’ve been taking care of pets for my neighbors, friends, and family members for upwards of a decade and am commonly regarded as the go-to sitter in my community. I strive to treat every pet (and owner) with the utmost respect and kindness, and I’ll follow your instructions to a T! (The T stands for toe beans 🤓) Currently unemployed due to layoffs in my industry, so I’ll be able to give your fur bestie as much attention as possible! I can do overnights, multiple nights in a row, or just a drop-in/walk; whatever you need - I got you! :) I have a fenced yard in front of my apartment complex so your fur bestie can run free and tire themselves out before beddybye! I can crate your pup if you provide one or they can get some shut-eye on the couch or wherever they’re comfy!

Jo is just a great person. Period. She always goes above and beyond in caring for and entertaining our dogs, whether it’s bringing over her best enrichment toys or finding our dog’s favorite Real Housewives franchise to watch together. For this house sitting, Jo watched our newer puppy for the first time. He can be vocally reactive on walks and has some unique methods for managing his behavior. For Jo, it was no sweat. And during this house stay, my husband and I happened to be in Puerto Vallarta during the recent cartel rampage. Not only did Jo make sure that our doggos would be cared for regardless of when we made it back to the States, but she also made a genuine effort to check in on our general well-being. Like I said, she’s just a great person.

About: Hello, my name is Hannah. I am a part time art instructor and online Art Therapy student. I prioritize attentiveness and timeliness in my teaching as well as dog walking and sitting. I love all animals, have dog walked locally on and off since I was in middle school, and have had a dog of my own for 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. I am an active person and look forward to taking your pet on frequent walks, or even runs! I’m currently working part-time and attending online school, so I have a lot of availability for overnight dog sitting, as well as many walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Besides a few mid-day classes and teaching the occasional night class, my schedule allows me to be very flexible. I treat all pets the way I would want my own dog, Sailor, to be treated. Your pets safety and happiness are my top priorities! I aim to create a stress free experience for you, and a fun experience for your pet.

Renee was wonderful with our 4 pets! She house sat for us for a few days and followed all of our instructions. Everything went so smoothly. She was very considerate and was not afraid to ask questions during her stay, which I prefer. She went above and beyond taking our dogs on super long walks (which she def didn’t have to, esp in the winter weather!). I am thankful to have had Renee taking care of our animals and will def rebook in the future!

About: As the proud owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, caring for animals is already a big part of my daily life. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I'm reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, extra playtime, or a calm and caring companion while you're away, I'll provide the same level of care and attention that I give my own pets every day. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and cared for. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As a pet owner to 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I am used to providing regular walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention every day. During the school year, I am available before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends. During school breaks, holidays, and summer, I have much more flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I am organized, reliable, and committed to making sure pets receive consistent care and companionship while their owners are away. The safety, comfort, and well-being of every pet are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide consistent, individualized care. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I follow all instructions carefully regarding feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and household rules. As a pet owner of 2 Goldendoodles and 2 cats, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your furry family members. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while ensuring pets are always supervised and secure. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel confident and connected while they're away. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free environment where pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.

I am sorry I waited a week before leaving this review; it took me a week to settle back into my life and to observe my dog, Clyde, after I had left him in the care of another sitter and Nicholas for four days each. My primary goal in booking through Rover was to ensure the care of Clyde. I am very pleased with Clyde's condition and energy in the week I have been home. As his care was split between two sitters, I would have to say that both gave him the attention and care that he needed. My other goal was the care of my house which, I believe, was also excellent. Highest marks to Marny and to my other sitter.
