Allison watched our Bowie while we were out of town for an extended time for our wedding! She was such a good sitter and could tell from initial meet and greet that she has tons of experience! She kept us updated the whole time and reached out when our boy was acting a little off and we were able to solve the problem from afar! She also went above and beyond to clean the house for our return which was so nice to come home to! I am an anxious dog mom and I have already booked with Allison for another date after our great experience!

Amy is absolutely amazing - she consistently goes above and beyond; is always punctual, responsible, and communicative. Our dogs and guinea pigs adore her, and it’s clear how much love and care she puts into every stay. It gives me total peace of mind knowing our fur crew is in such great hands; plus she’s incredibly respectful of our home and is a very tidy guest. I highly recommend Amy to anyone looking for reliable, loving care for their pets. Thank you for everything you do!

Paul was amazing! He was quick to respond and sent several photos/updates. With it being 4th of July weekend, we were happy that Paul was willing to spend the night and ease the pups anxiety with the loud noises. Thank you Paul for watching our pups on short notice, especially on a holiday weekend!

Chloe did an exceptional job watching our Dane. He was dealing with an injury and needed extra attention, a cone and medication and Chloe met all of his needs. This was our first time using Rover and being able to travel with peace of mind that our boy was at home made our trip so much more enjoyable. We came home to a very happy boy and a clean house. We will for sure be using Chloe on future trips and recommend her to any of our friends that have pets.

About: I have had anywhere from 1-5 dogs at a time my whole life. I have had many breed and all age ranges from 8 weeks to 15 years old. I have a handful of pet/house sitting experience and looking for more opportunities! I have 2 different PRN jobs where I make my own schedule so I am pretty open anytime of the week/weekends as long as I am informed ahead of time on dates. I work overnights in other peoples home as one of my jobs, so I have experience in respecting other peoples spaces. I am willing to adapt to your home situation/rules whether that’s fence, no fence, on/off leash, etc. I will give your animals lots of love and treat them as my own.

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, chickens, ducks, and horses growing up. Having a wide range of animals growing up has helped me learn what a pet is wanting and needing. I’m currently a college student, my evening can be flexible as well as my weekends! Willing to work with owners to create a balance that works for me and your pets. I would prefer to have your pet in your home! I think that will be best for your pets safety and mine too. I’m willing to do what the owner is wanting for their pets comfortability.

About: I have been taking care of my pets (several dogs, feeding, walking, bathing) since I was in middle school. I especially love taking care of senior pets, but enjoy young pets as well. I can work with pets with all levels of energy and training. I am a full time Childserve employee, so I am available to walk and look after pets after 5 M-F, and I I am open weekends. I enjoy playing catch, going on jogs/walks, and just playing with pets at home. My goal is to make them as comfortable as possible and leave the owner without any worries as to the safety of their babies.
