Queenie took great care of our house and dog Axel! She is professional, kind, loves animals and is a good communicator. Special thanks to Queenie for flexibility in adjusting our reservation dates as our plans evolved. I would highly recommend Queenie for any pet sitting needs.

Cory was very responsive and attentive to our dog and cat while we were away. He asked lots of good questions, had some good suggestions for our very energetic dogs and we felt confident that the animals were in good hands.

Lidia was wonderful with Roux! She was patient, reliable, and kept me updated. Roux was calm and happy when I got home. I really appreciate her help and would definitely book again.

Oso enjoyed having Fallon over and she was consistently checking in with me to see how Oso was doing and was super accommodating on such short notice! I highly recommend her for house sitting and walks! Oso loved her and I’ll be using her services in the future!

About: They say that dog’s are a man’s best friend, and I completely agree. Nothing can compare to the love of a dog, and dog’s deserve the world. I do my best to make your dog feel great. Whether it’s a belly rub or a walk amongst the leaves. I have a very large yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around to their heart’s content. I am home full time so my availability is very flexible. Making people smile, and laugh has always been my favorite and over the years that has grown to include furry friends as well. I would love nothing more than to see your dog wag their tail with joy. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Pet care fits very well into my routine. I have no other job and am home full time, apart from one daily walk for my only client. The only thing I ask is that advance notice is given (if possible), and a meet and greet with my own dog is scheduled beforehand (if booking an overnight stay at my house) I have a very large yard (about 3-4 acres) with plenty of space for your dog to run and play. We do not have a fence however I would be happy to walk your pets around in backyard and let them play. Pet care fits very well into my weekly routine. This is my only job currently and I am not going back to school until next semester so I have all the time in the world to love on your furry friends. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s homes by making sure they are comfortable and happy. I will feed them take them on lots of walks play with toys with them if they want. I also like to ask my clients if their pets are scared of anything, i.e. thunderstorms, fireworks etc., so I can make sure to comfort them with lots of extra snuggles.

Mindy was great! Very communicative and loving toward our girl. Kai recently lost her brother so we are a bit more sensitive about her getting attention and having a routine while we are away. Mindy allowed us to travel with peace of mind knowing Kai was in good hands. Will definitely re-book. :)

About: Attentive care for dogs and cats from birth to geriatric stages. I have over 25 years of experience raising dogs, cats, horses, and fish. I no longer have any pets of my own. This enables me to focus solely on your loved one(s). For those looking for house or plant care while away... I have over 25 years of experience caring for a home. I have owned and rented. I can collect mail, water plants, mow the grass, keep the house clean, and take care of anything else you need in order to have peace of mind while you are away. I work Monday- Friday during the day. I am available in the evenings Monday-Friday. I am off on Saturday and Sunday. I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. Pets will be cared for in the manner that the owner requests. I will be as hands on or hands off as you would like.

Michelle was great with our dog, Duke. This is the second time she watched him, and he was SO excited to see her! Unfortunately, our address wasn't updated in Rover and so she had to go across town out of her way first before coming to the correct address. Despite our inconveniencing her, she was still willing to stay a little late if we needed her to. We really appreciated her patience with both US and with Duke :)

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 12 years old. I've got lots of experience-especially now that I have my own fur baby! I'm used to walking, feeding, playing, and spending time with the animals I'm watching while their owners are away. I provide a calm and fun environment that benefits the animals. This is a very important part of my care since some animals have a hard time being left alone. I love to take my own dog to the dog park and have her get her energy out before we have down time. I would love to take other dogs out to the dog park if their owners agree to it! I have one class each day Monday-Thursday this semester. I schedule my life around my own dog, so helping others care for their animals is a task that I can easily fit into my schedule. I make sure to let my own dog (and others) out lots of times throughout the day. Adequate exercise is the key to making sure a dog stays healthy but also relaxed while home alone. I take my dog to the dog park and would love to take a dog I'm watching there as well if the owner agrees. I am crate training my dog at the moment so I am working on creating a very calm environment. My dog was a shelter dog so she has anxiety and lots of small things to work on. However, that doesn't bother me because all animals deserve love and I'm willing to be patient and work with the animal.

Marissa was a great sitter for our Kai dog. She sent pictures daily and Kai ate great with her. The house was clean when we returned and Kai was well taken care of. We’d be happy to have her sit for us again :)

Katie was so lovely! She was so patient with our pup, Moira, making sure she was comfortable w her and so kind w Mo! While we were gone for the week she took excellent care in keeping me informed w how Mo was.doign, sending pics, and making sure to reply quickly to any texts I sent checking in. She did a lovely job of keeping our house picked up and even offered to clean her bedding. All of this is to say that I will definitely be hiring Katie again and am so thankful I found someone I can trust and that Mo truly enjoys, to stay w her if my family and I go out of town for a short or extended stay. Thanks, Katie, for being so wonderful! I know Mo looks forward to seeing you again (and so do we!) in the future! ❤️

Grace was great. We lost our main Rover that moved and now meeting Grace we have found that she is very reliable. We were 6 hrs a way and celebrating Xmas at home in Iowa and she kept us updated on the dogs! Any issues she asked and we were relaxed knowing how good she was being. Will for sure use Grace again and she even took them out more often but for shorter visits since cold weather was so chilly!

Absolutely wonderful! This was our first time using Rover and she made our experience well worth it. Lorrie is very personable, helpful, a great communicator, asked all of the right questions & followed instructions to a T and most importantly, I could tell our pets enjoyed her company. Not only were our pets well taken care of but so was our house while we were away. Overall, she is a lovely person that you can tell enjoys doing this for the animals 🐾💜

Jenna stayed at our home for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took excellent care of our pug Cookie and our two chinchillas. She is very conscientious and communicative with any questions. I felt such relief having her take care of things for us while we were away. Thank you Jenna!!!

THE VERY BEST. Our difficult dog loved her. We were gone over two weeks and were afraid how our dog would do and he was fine. Meredith sent us pictures and videos and reports daily and we felt so comfortable having her in our home and with our dog.
