Sean sent regular photos and updates, which we greatly appreciated. We would definitely recommend him, and will consider him for any future pet sitting needs!”
“This was our first time using Dominic as a pet sitter. She stayed in my home and cared for my dog and 2 cats. My dog had an urgent medical issue come up during the stay and Dominic immediately communicated and took action. Daisy the dog will be well and I will surely use Dominic again in the future. Amazing service and great communication. Highly recommend!”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Alexis! Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear they got plenty of playtime and attention. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, exercised, and well cared for. We got frequent updates, which gave us peace of mind, and it was obvious our pups were having a blast. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves animals and will treat your pets like their own, Alexis is the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Majestyc was wonderful with our Klooney and Brutus. She sent me photos and videos of our dogs under her care. Klooney didn’t want to eat and she was so patient with him and helped him start to eat. We will definitely ask her to care for our dogs next time we are out of town.”
“Angeline is awesome! She took care of our cat and our elderly desert tortoise during our 11 day summer vacation. She made it her priority to ensure our pets and home were well taken care of. Angeline provided daily check ins with us along with cute pictures. She went beyond our expectations especially when faced with the uncertainty of the tropical storm Hillary and the safety of our desert tortoise. She is kind, thoughtful, and responsive. I highly recommend Angeline for pet sitting needs. She will care for your pets as if they were her own.”

“Communicated well and arrived at the correct times to check on my pet but when I arrived home there was dried urine by the front door that I wasn’t aware of and wet urine as well. Also lights were left on when I arrived.”
About: I am the proud owner of three dogs, Blaze (4yo Boxer mix), Dixie (3yo GSP rescue), and Hank (1yo GSP). I love big and small dogs and would love the opportunity to bond with your four legged best friend. I enjoy taking long walks or runs, playing fetch, and snuggling up on the couch as well. I love assisting in training younger dogs, and have helped friends teach their dogs the basics. I am experienced with younger rambunctious dogs, as well as older dogs that may need a little more time and attention, and everything in between! I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your pup and make sure they get all the love and attention that we know they deserve, especially when life gets a little busy.
“Alex took Stormie to his house with him and socialized my baby to his puppy and she did great. He was really great with her and she loved the attention he gave her. I will book with him again.”
“Amber was great. She took really good care of my pups and sent frequent updates and pics. Prior to her leaving she even did a small clean up which was not expected of her to do. I will definitely rebook her to watch my pups again in the future.”
“Hannah was fantastic! She communicated with me the whole time. She kept me updated and sent lots of pictures! She responded quickly to messages, even before the booking. She really cares about peoples pets. I will definitely be using her again!”

Pontiac pet parents share their Rover experiences
Sudensa was great! We have two big German Shepherds and she played with them and walked them every day. She sent me updates and photos, and if she was unsure about anything she reached out to ask questions. I felt super comfortable having her stay with our boys!
Rebekkah did an awesome job! She was so attentive to Charlie and I felt so comfortable with her watching him In our house. She was incredibly generous with her updates for us. We knew all along how Charlie was doing. I could not have asked for a better caregiver! Tremendous!!!!
Abby was WONDERFUL! The care and the love she gave our fur baby was amazing. She gave our dog lots of attention by walking her, playing with her inside and outside. Not was our dog given the best of care, but also our home. We came back to a very happy dog and a well kept house! Thank you so much!!!
Marissa was amazing from the beginning, she was able to help us last minute, she was punctual, my dogs loved her, she did everything we asked for and went beyond to take great care of them, she sent me daily updates and took excellent care of my house. I can’t thank her enough. I will definitely ask her to pet sit my babies again!
I greatly appreciate everything you and your sister with staying with Cali! Thank you for informing me often on how she’s doing and sending me pictures to show me she’s getting cared for! You’re a fantastic sitter and anyone needing a dog sitter would be lucky to have you! Thank you again!
Rachel always makes me feel at ease when she’s with our dogs! She sends frequent updates and I really feel she loves them like her own. To top it off, we had flight issues that made it so we would be gone two extra nights and she was willing to go the extra mile and stay with them despite having her own life and responsibilities. We are just feeling so grateful for Rachel!
