“Haylea is a fantastic sitter. She sends so many pictures and communicates so much information. I am happy to recommend her to anyone needing someone to take care of their best friend.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Heather went above and beyond our expectations! We looked forward to her updates nightly and absolutely loved the pictures. We were able to enjoy our vacation more fully knowing our little fur baby was in wonderful hands. We would you request Heather again in a heartbeat!”
“We had a meet and greet prior to the drop-in visit and our dog was very comfortable with Heather. Heather also communicated with us prior to and after the visit. We were very pleased with Heather’s service and will definitely use her again.”
“We were grateful to have Deanne care for our senior dog while we were on vacation. I have also used her for drop-in visits, and will be requesting her services again.”
“Maria is amazing, she is very responsive and she always sends Live Photos and videos of our cats. We’ve had her watch them several times now and have always come home to happy and healthy cats.”
“Declan clearly dedicates his time making sure our dog is mentally and physically engaged during his visits, which is not an easy feat with an energized 6mo lab! We are very grateful to have an enthusiastic and experienced handler like Declan around.”
“I appreciated Sydneys prompt response to my initial inquiry and questions/messages. She was flexible on short notice to come to meet us and do a drop in the next day. Followed all instructions (in my way too long note), checked in, sent pictures and all was well with my pup on return. Sydney is nice, mature and trustworthy. She is just starting out on Rover so for just figuring all that out — she was great. Sometimes I look for a lot of reviews but glad I gave Sydney a try for sure. Don’t hesitate — I recommend Sydney and I’ll book with her again!”
About: I’ve had dogs in my household my whole life. I am friendly, reliable, and able to take care of dogs in need of some exercise or some belly rubs. I used to train horses so taking care of dogs is nothin! I am a college student home for the summer and am available most days except Saturdays. I am also pretty flexible so whatever you and your pet need I can help with. Just looking to walk dogs and house sit at your home so I don’t have much equipment, but whatever materials you provide I can work with and take great care of your pet!
“Lilli and Zachary were wonderfully responsible care takers for our dog and home. Lilli is a prompt, kind, and excellent communicator. Our meet and greet went well, and I could immediately sense we could trust this nice young couple. They provided wonderful care for our 10 year old dog who had never been left alone before (we always had other dogs and in-home overnight care). Initially our dog was a bit shy, according to Lilli, but she ultimately warmed to them and they became fast friends. Lilli’s reports were detailed complete with pictures. I would highly recommend Lilli and Zachary!”
“Christine has been a favorite Rover representative for us. We are a repeat customer of hers and will continue to call upon her care whenever able. Her sincere concern and care of our shar pei, Tricksy, has been of great relief to us. Christine’s communication is consistent and informative. We feel confident in leaving our unique 10-year puppy with her every time and can recommend her (with enthusiasm) to others.”
About: If your dog loves to run around and play then this is the place for you! Let your dog come hangout and enjoy 2 acres of fenced in yard. 2nd generation pet sitter from Wonder Lake Nicolette has grown up helping her mother do this for over 25 years. We have been watching dogs for 5 years. We have trained many dogs throughout our lives including basic house obedience to running field trials with hunting dogs. We would like to offer our home and large yard to your animal while you’re on vacation or hard at work. We like to say if you are going on vacation send your dog on vacation! We also like to say a tired dog is a well behaved dog and with all the running and playing we can make that happen! We are very easy going, loving animal parents. We will treat your pups like they are our own! Free roam of the house, no crates used unless otherwise specified. We have backgrounds in Paramedicine and a dog salon. Making meds, baths, nail trimming, ear cleanings all easy to knockout when your animal stops by. Nicolette is home all times making pick up and drop off services available. You can expect the animals to not be left alone for any extended period of time if any at all. Open floor plan with many dog beds/ napping areas. We have 2 labs and a Bernese mtn dog who are very nice and playful. We do have 2 kennels and a spare bedroom if your dog needs quite time or needs to be separated if we were to leave the house.
“Gretchen is the best! She helped us out on very short notice over a holiday week with no hassle. Our dogs were loved on and well taken care of while we were gone. Gretchen is very trustworthy and kind,”
“I was really nervous leaving my 9 month month old kitty and 18 year old cat at home for 5 days while i was gone, but Rachel was such a wonderful sitter, and provided me with wonderful photos and thoughtful, detailed updates while i was gone that really put my mind at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Rachel really went above and beyond to make sure my cats were well taken care of, played with and happy. She even brought a few toys and treats for them to play with! And my 18 year old cat needed a topical medicine in her ear each day, which Rachel applied to her no problem… meaning my cat really trusts her. I almost think my cats were a little disappointed to see me instead of Rachel opening the door when i got home yesterday haha! Thanks so much Rachel - we will absolutely be in touch the next time we need a sitter!! I highly recommend her :)”
“Emily was amazing! Our dog is typically skittish of everyone but she loved Emily right away (and so did we!). Our dog is also a little quirky but Emily didn’t mind at all. I would (and will) ask Emily to care for our dog in the future. I can’t say enough good things about how terrific Emily is!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Raised a wonderful chocolate lab puppy and two kitties. Birds like me too. You’re bets will be in excellent care :) I work from home, take my dog Athena for lots of walks and get to play with her in the park every day. My two cats are always wanting attention and get plenty of it. I have a flexible work schedule which is great for taking care of pets. My dog and two cats get to spend a lot of time with me and get plenty of care. I will take care of yours just like I take care of mine.
