“Hannah did a great job with our pets, and was very communicative. We also enjoyed seeing all the photos of our pets. She made sure they had everything they needed.”
“Leann was a great house sitter and I would highly recommend her. She was very responsive and gave me updates throughout the stay. She left my home in the same condition as I left it and I could tell my animals felt comfortable with her from the photos she sent me. I’m very happy overall and would book with her again.”
“Jude is amazing! Our little girl got sick while we were away and Jude worked closely with me over the phone to be sure she was doing okay. She was creative with care and feeding, and decreased our anxiety about being away from our baby. She sent lots of pics and plenty of assurance. We love her and feel great about our next booking!”

About: I grew up on a farm, where we had many types of dogs and cats. I always enjoyed playing make believe and veterinarian with the farm animals. They soon became like my own. I have done some dog sitting, most recently with a family members golden doodle. I especially enjoy walking the dog. I currently work full time, though part of the time I work from home. My schedule leaves me with a break during the day, where I could check on the dogs, as well as, time in the evenings! I also have the flexibility to stay in another’s home, to provide more personal care, as long as distance is not a factor. I enjoy walking dogs, and would be happy to do that as needed, for your pet. I also would work hard to be sure your pet feels safe and comfortable, providing them food and water, as scheduled and a safe place to play, or just rest. Again, willing to do this in home or as needed for a drop in!
“Mary was wonderful work with. Responsive, clear and trustworthy. Our dogs were in great hands. She sent regular updates and think our dogs had more fun then we did. Highly recommended.”
“Briana was available on short notice when I had to be away for a funeral. I appreciated her willingness to be flexible. She took all my instructions in stride. She was very communicative and sent several photos. And most importantly, I came home to a happy, healthy dog! Briana is definitely on my go-to list in the future.”

“Melissa did a great job. We came home to a happy and calm little dog who is usually nervous when we go away. The house was left clean and in order. Melissa was pleasant and reliable. We plan to use her again. Having someone in the house while we were away worked so well for us. We could tell that she was a natural with dogs and cares about them.”
About: I’ve have been watching friends dogs (2 or 3 at a time) for the last 4 years. I also helped care and walk my sisters dogs when we lived together for 4 years. I am always flexible with the schedule the dog is use to, but I am use to walking dogs in the morning and in the evening. I have a crate if needed. I have a small fenced in yard. No pets currently live in the home. I will care for your pets as you do.
“Kiah was great with Bailey. She was on time, very professional and he took too her immediately. She atayes at the home with him while we went out of town. She checked on and sent updates and pictures. She calles before she left and made sure that Bailey was taken care off. We will dsfinitely rebook Kiah”
“Barbara is a natural! I have a hesitant, scared of a lot of things dog and he warmed up to her in no time. She was wonderful with both my doggies. I’m a worrier, but felt good leaving my dogs in her hands. She is responsible and communicative and takes good care to follow whatever regimen/schedule you ask her to. We came home to very calm and happy dogs. So happy to have found her!”
“After a last minute cancellation from another sitter, we were so lucky to come across Jordan's profile. She was able to do a meet and great asap and accommodated our 2 fur babies for a 10 day stay. They immediately felt comfortable following her around her home which also had a fully fenced in backyard. We appreciate her prompt messages and video updates to reassure us the pups are doing well. Our sweet boy Cowboy loved her daughter and both pups got tons of play time in their backyard. Loved how they both got a much needed supervised play time and socialization with their pup and other well behaved doggies too. It is good to know they are well cared for and with someone reliable while their family is away. We would use her again soon. Thank you :)”

Penryn pet parents share their Rover experiences
Leann was great taking care of our dog and cat. She visited twice beforehand to help get our dog acquainted with her. She sent daily updates which were greatly appreciated. Most importantly, I could tell our dog was well taken care of. While she obviously missed us, she didn’t have that extra edge of loneliness from lack of engagement.
