cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.

Rebeca took such good care of Didi that I've already booked her for my next out-of-town trip. I especially appreciated all the photos and videos she sent. Didi obviously liked her. Rebeca went over and above what I expected, so I trust her with my feline sidekick.

She was prompt and super kind! Quick response time. One of the days she came to visit our pet, the rover app was down, so she went out of her way to check in & send pictures through text. Awesome experience!

Amazing dog walker! Came in on short notice and saved me while I was out of town. If you’re in need of an amazing dog walker, that can handle any type of dog, this is the one you’re looking for! Will definitely be using her services from now on!

Tiffany is a fantastic caretaker. We have had her take care of our cat multiple times now and she is always reliable and communicative. Our cat can be a bit slow to come out of her shell and Tiffany sends us helpful updates when we're away. Thank you!!!

Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals and have two of my cats who do not currently live with me. one I’ve cared for over six years. I’m easy to work with, dependable, and especially patient with senior pets. I gained a lot of experience helping care for my grandma’s senior dog, as well as two crazy pugs (so i can handle anything). Whether it’s dogs or cats, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently working Friday, Saturday, and Sunday! Saturday i am busy all day, but Friday and Sunday available after 5. I am free to help with whatever you need throughout the week. When caring for pets in their home, I treat them like family. I carefully follow any care instructions, feeding, walks, medication, and spend quality time giving them attention and comfort to help them feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

About: I have thoroughly enjoyed taking care of different dogs from a variety of breeds and ages for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family know that they can rely on me to care for their fur babies! I have also worked on a farm with a variety of different animals including puppies along with working for a dog walking company. I am a spiritual life coach in the process of expanding my business. I work from home and am my own boss which gives me a lot of flexibility in creating my schedule. I do have time slots when i'm working with clients but besides that I am able to be quite flexible based on your needs. I love to connect with the pets ahead of time to get to know their personality along with meeting the parents and seeing if i'm a good fit. I care for pets in my client’s home and learn what the pets’ essential needs are and what I should do when they demonstrate certain behaviors.

I set up the appointment with Erin as an opportunity to meet and have an initial interaction. She immediately was focused on building a connection with my Bentley and by playing and interacting was already picking up on nuances of Bentley and showed a genuine interest and affection. I wouldn't hesitate to have Erin spend extended time with Bentley knowing he would be well taken care of. Think he's missing her already!

We always ask for Kim when it comes to watching our dogs while we are gone. She was our first and is our only sitter for our dogs and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the job. You need Kim to watch your dogs, you won’t regret it! Punctuality, reliability, attention to detail, and kindness are just a few of wonderful qualities you can expect when working with her. Thank you again Kim!

Caroline was the best cat sitter for our elderly cat!! She was so responsive, kind, and sent constant updates throughout the day. I could tell from the photos that our cat, who is normally pretty shy, was super thrilled to see her. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I booked Gina VERY last minute for two weeks to feed and visit my 3 cats plus my daughter's cat. We did two meets before and after the first, I completely felt great vibes. I have one cat, Oliver that never comes out for anyone other than us. I got a picture of him on I think her second visit! She was wonderful about sending pics and updates. She let them out on my lanai to get some fresh air on her visits. Really can't say enough good things about her. Will definitely be booking her for future visits and house stays next time!
