“This is our first time using rover and Sam made it a positive experience from the time i contacted her and through the meet and great and the entire sit. We had to adjust our start time couple of times but she was very flexible with that, we really appreciate her for understanding. The Sit went very smooth as well, we got all the updates even before we asking with pictures :) Snow was very well taken care of, we could tell that once we reached home since he was not anxious at all. Overall Sam is great and we will be in touch soon for our next vacations :)”

“Sienna did a fantastic job caring for our husky dog. She also did a terrific job watering all our yard plants and she washed the bedding & towels before she left! Highly recommend!”

“I have always had bad anxiety whenever leaving my fur babies, but Ben made me feel SO comfortable about taking care of my kitties! He sent detailed updates every single night about the day along with handfuls of pictures! One of our kitties is also very difficult when it comes to strangers, and he handled her like a genuine cat/animal lover would: with patience and understanding. Another 5 star review for Ben, we will for sure be using him again in the future! Thank you, Ben!”

“Caitlyn was wonderful. When our other Rover sitter canceled last minute, Caitlyn stepped in, came to meet our dog and coordinated the needed sitting within hours. She was communicative (sending updates and pics), timely and good to our pets. She’s a real find- don’t hesitate to hire her!”

“Sabrina is a joy to work with to watch our lil dude Nico. Her communication is fantastic and she always went the extra mile to ensure he was well-cared for. We had complete ease of mind being away and knowing that he received lots of love, cuddles and care.”


About: I have always been lucky enough to have a dog growing up. I have looked after my neighbors pets multiple times as well. I am very comfortable around all types. As for cats I have never personally taken care of any but I do volunteer at the shelter that has both cats and dogs. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs I will dedicate my time to loving them and treat them as if they were my own. I have one family dog named Charles. He is a Lagotto Romagnolo and he truly is my bestfriend. I am interning at an accounting firm and I work Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8 to 5 pm. I am free to pet sit these days too after 5. Since I sit at a desk all day, I have a lot of energy leftover and love going on walks and playing with my dog in the evening. Hopefully in the future yours too!! I currently have a dog and he is a big part of my life. I love exercising and everyone I do cardio he joins me for my walks. He loves playing fetch so I am used to that. I also just love a pets affection and love. I constantly walk my dog, take him to the dog park (even though all he does is sit in the shade), I feed him every night and give him infinite kisses!
“Lisa is super communicative. I felt comfortable with her in my home and to watch my doggy. He's a super shy husky and she had the patience to work with him. Hope to have Lisa again next time :)”

“Aicha has been so great with our dog. He has had some special needs at times and she is always accommodating and responsive with updates. We have had both last minute done drop requests and in-home stays and she has been awesome to work with. Highly recommend.”

“Ashlin wwashable to accommodate us with fairly short notice and house sit with our two dogs for the holiday weekend. She was communicative and made sure the dogs both got some exercise. The house was in great shape when we returned home too.”

“Charlene was great! She was on time, communicated well, left my home spotless and it appears my dogs loved her. I definitely recommend her and would use her services again if the need arises.”

“Shelby is amazing! She took care of our pup while we were vacationing in Costa Rica. I was nervous about leaving him because he’s quite clingy with my husband and me. She checked in daily, sending me pictures and updates. It made me feel at ease knowing he was well taken care of.”


About: I have had pets all of my growing up and have taken care of them. I have walked many dogs on wag from small dogs with little activity to huskies. Also for a year and half now I have house sitter for clients from a week to a weekend to a day. Getting a degree has shown me my resilience, self-determination, and commitment to hard work. Also my ability to provide compassionate care not only to people but also making your pets feel safe. Currently I just graduated college so I have just been spending time reorganizing my things at home so I have plenty of time to fit in playing with your furr babies When going into your home, I will make sure to be respectful of your surroundings and be in and out as fast as possible :)

“Meredith watched our two senior dogs for us over the Christmas holiday. She was very professional and thoughtful. We received daily updates including cute photos. The dogs appeared happy and very well cared for. The house was left clean, including washing sheets and towels and remaking the bed. We will definitely be calling Meredith again!”

Bridget did an amazing job taking care of our two dogs and cat. It rained a lot while we were gone and she always made sure to walk them whenever there were breaks in the storm. She sent lots of pictures and did an excellent job communicating with us. All of our pets were healthy and happy when we returned and our house was cleaner than when we left.

Olivia's care for our house and pets warmed my heart. She's a remarkable and caring person and my dog and two cats were happy and healthy. The dog kept going to the window after Olivia drove away. She went the extra mile without my even asking. She communicated politely, promptly and clearly. I couldn't recommend her any more highly.
