This was our first time having Jacob watch our dogs. I would highly recommend him. Communication is A+. Our older dog can be a bit bossy and he handled her just fine.

Sarah was amazing! I had a very last minute need for my dog and cat and Sarah responded very quickly and we hashed out the details immediately! I had a few time slots I needed her for at first and then things came up where I needed to cancel a couple of them and she was so quick and helpful to communicate back with me. She was great! Thank you again Sarah!

Natalie has been absolutely fantastic with my four dogs. She handles them all with no problem at all. She is responsible and flexible with schedule changes and that has been a big help as my work schedule does fluctuate. The dogs just love her and we feel very fortunate to have her as our daily pet sitter. I would strongly recommend Natalie if you are looking for peace of mind when it comes to having someone trustworthy to care for your pets.

Dorothy was outstanding coming to our house to feed and let out our 2 dogs. She was great with the dogs, responds quickly to questions and sent many photos while we traveled out of state for a wedding. We trusted her and did not worry about our dogs. I would highly recommend her services.

This is the 4th time we have used Carolyn to help care for Clove on long days we have been away from her. When I booked this visit it was kinda last minute to schedule. Carolyn was so accommodating. You can tell how much she loves animals. Carolyn is so amazing making sure Clove is well taken care of on her walks and before she leaves the house, making sure Clove has plenty of water and food.

Doug was great with our cat! He spent a lot of time with him, taking care of all his needs and giving him a lot of attention! We can leave our cat in his care, knowing he will be well taken care of and we won't have to worry about him at all. We highly recommend Doug to take care of your pet, as they will be left in very good hands!

Christine took such wonderful care of my 13 year old Newfie mix Punkie! As a large breed, Punkie has some health issues and Christine knew just how to care for her with short walks, gentle brushing and lots of love! Christine went above and beyond making sure all the tumbleweeds of hair were cleaned up before I got home. Such a joy to come home to clean floors and a happy dog! Thank you, Christine!

About: I have a half acre of fenced in yard for dogs to run and play. I’ve had pets in my family my whole life: always dogs, a few cats over the years, a house rabbit, hamsters, ducks, fish, lizards, turtles - so many lovely creatures! I’ve worked with rescues and shelters and have taken care of elderly dogs at the end of their lifespan administering medications orally, injections, and topically. For my other job I do freelance graphic design from home and make my own schedule, so I’m very flexible with my schedule. When pet sitting at my home your pet will have my company throughout the day. I offer check ins, feeding, walking, playing, cleaning up after all pets and livestock at their home. I board dogs and caged pets overnight or for multiple days at my home where dogs have access to a fenced yard at any time of the day, full time supervision, and cozy accommodations.

Rachael is an excellent pet sitter! She was always very punctual and thorough with her pet care (2 cats and a dog). She was careful to follow my written instructions to keep their schedules as close to normal as possible. Her daily logs about her visits were detailed and fun to read! And lots of cute pictures! She is very sweet and kind and I would not hesitate to ask for her help again!

I could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Mary was absolutely a dream to have come over and take care of my boys. She sent me a bunch of pictures of both of my dogs and made sure that they were loved while we were away. I would highly recommend her to anyone. I feel blessed to have found her.

We were on a long trip 3 weeks in length and were concerned about leaving our cats for so long. CeCe did a great job caring for them and when I came home was pleased to find no accidents or stains and happy cats all brushed and well fed. I would recommend her to anybody who wants the best for their pets while they are away Laura Charron

Marcy has been great, we have used her services several times the last few months and have all good things to say. The biggest help is being able to work with the short notices due to my work schedule. Her flexibility has been awesome. My dogs seem to really enjoy her and Marcy has been wonderful to my pups.....

Kelly did an awesome job with our two kitties Roxy and Mochi while we were on vacation! Our cats are shy and she was understanding and sent us updates everyday and took excellent care of them while we were gone. She’s reliable and responsive. Highly recommend!
