“Erin is absolutely amazing! She takes wonderful care of our babies🙂 She is very flexible, One of our kids ended up on medication right before we were scheduled to leave Erin was willing and able to give oral medication and eye drops. She also went above and beyond taking her in for rechecks at the vets. Erin made us feel comfortable with continuing with our vacation instead of canceling last minute. I highly recommend Erin!”

“Sherman King is an excellent dog sitter. We have a reactive German Shepard who does not like anyone, making it very challenging to leave him.

We have used him several times and are always very happy.”

19. Abby S.
“Abby was great! We've known her as a vet tech for all of our pets for a few years, so she was an easy choice when we came across her profile on Rover. She watched our dog and six cats for a weekend and they were all happy and healthy when we returned, and Abby was easy to work with during the stay.”
20. Emma B.
“Emma came to our home to watch our big dog. She came in the morning to let him into our fenced yard for the day and then came back in the evening to let him in. She took him on a walk and fed him. We prefer having her come to our home rather than have him at a kennel so he gets to be in his usual environment. I would recommend Emma if you need a someone to watch your pet.”
