She kept on top of my dogs’ changing needs and kept me in the loop so the week away didn’t feel quite as worrying! And we returned to the house even more tidy than we left it, which was a lovely surprise!

Hannah cared for my dogs for 2 weeks in a row. One of the dogs got injured by attacking a squirrel and she tended to his wounds. He healed well and the wounds were almost unnoticeable when I arrived home. Thank you!!

Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.

I had a great experience with Erin & Matthew as my pet sitters. They took excellent care of both my home and Banco while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, it made it easy to see that Banco was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Everything was handled responsibly and with attention to detail, and I came back to a home that was just as I left it. I’d absolutely trust Erin & Matthew again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!

About: I have been raised to care for pets. My entire life my family has had Labs, and I have grown to love them so very much. I also have experience with Cats, Ferrets, and now I have my own Bunny! I am on summer break from Roanoke College so I am free anytime to care for furry friends! Whatever their needs are, I am there! In my house, each of my pets have their own litter boxes, water/food bowls, and my bunny has her own room. I devote hours each day to provide enrichment to each of my pets. I would do the same with my clients pets!

About: I have several years of experience with both dogs and cats. The largest dog I've handled was 120 lbs. I'm down to cuddle or go on a walk, whatever your pet needs. I am a college student so I am flexible daily and can come by your house when needed. I am free on weekends and most weeknights. I would love if you can give me specifics on your pet's routine and any behavior I should know about. I have some experience with oral medication if your pet ever needs it.

Machalah has been a consistent overnight sitter for my pup for several months! He loves spending time with her and I love the peace of mind knowing he is well cared for. She is communicative, sends photos, and has been comfortable talking through his health needs - including giving medications! We look forward to continuing to have Machalah as a pet sitter!

Zoe was great! She was very responsive when messaging. My dog takes a little for her to warm up to someone but Zoe was able to get her to warm up quickly and even got her to cuddle. I would recommend and will use her again in the future.

Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.

Samantha was great! She stayed at our house for a week with our 2 dogs and sent photos and updates daily, the dogs were happy to have her there and not be cooped up in a kennel while we were away. Samantha was very flexible when we had to get home a day later than expected. She took great care of our dogs, other small pets and our home. Will definitely rebook when needed in the future!

De'Asia stayed with our 66 lb sweet but dog-reactive handful for several days. We told her she was welcome to walk him but didnt have to. She took him all over thre neighborhood successfully while keeping me well informed of how he was the whole time. That alone would have been above and beyond. My house was cleaner than I left it, possibly cleaner than I've seen it in months. She treated both my house and my dog like her own. I told my husband to make room because I was going to beg her to move in. Heck. We might go out of town just to give the dog another chance to stay with her. I've had a lot of rover sitters over the years and De'Asia is the best we've ever had. I strongly suggest booking her, as long as its not while Im also out of town.

Haley was easy to communicate with and reassured this nervous fur mama throughout my trip. She asked great questions and kept me informed about small snags so I could be reassured my pets were in great hands. One of my pups needs daily meds and she was undaunted by the task. Loved receiving photos and updates. Thanks, Haley!

Kristi was great! She was friendly and our dogs liked her right off the bat. They had a blast with her, going on walks and playing ball. I loved all the pictures she sent too! It’s so comforting to see your fur babies being well taken care of while you’re away, and Kristi did just that!

Cecilia has been sitting with my dogs twice now. She is very attentive to my fur kids. The fur kids are well taken care of and she lets me know how they are doing while we are away. Cecilia keeps my house clean and I am not worried about my furry ones or my house when they are in her care. She is loving and caring. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. I enjoy reading her quotes from my fur babies.

Donna is a very reliable pet sitter. I have used her three times now and been very happy with her services. Our house is always cleaner when we get home than when we left. Also Linde likes Donna so she seems calm when we return from being away.

I booked Sarah last min, I think it was day of or evening before. She made it a priority to come and meet me and the pets before I headed out of town that evening. Checked in with me with pics and cute updates the whole time! My dog and kitties were in a great mood when I got home so I know she took good care of them, she even saved my fish and snail who I forgot to tell her about ! My dog got to do all kinds of fun stuff including car rides and pup cups from Starbucks ! Already set up dates for the next time she can watch my dog while I have surgery. I am so thankful to have found her !
