Madison was amazing. She stayed for a few hours with my dog and sent updates throughout her stay. I felt so comfortable with her watching Remy and would suggest her to anyone!

Katie was an awesome sitter to our 3 dogs. She was responsive, attentive and took well to them at our meet and greet. I appreciated all of the updates, pics and exchanges while we were away. I would definitely book with her again!

Chris was a great dog sitter! He was accommodating to a last minute change, a meet and greet before hand, and respectful of my home! He was punctual and caring for my little Fry Guy. I did not have any worries about my pup while Chris was watching him. I would recommend his services to anyone in need of a sitter!

Thank you, Mindy for keeping Embie company ALL weekend. Your being available for staying overnights with her and spending the days with her were very reassuring for her…and us! Embie sure did bond with you instantly. I know she will be happy to see you again, the next time we need to be away. Thanks again! Don and Cindy Ehre

Trista had excellent communication, was reliable, and on time. She went above and beyond taking care of our babies. She also did an excellent job giving our dog his medication. My husband and I were beyond happy with her care and service and will definitely be booking her again in the future.

Kendal was great! She came and met the dogs prior to the day of and was so kind and gentle with them. Very easy to get in contact with and sent us plenty of pictures of our little guys enjoying their time! With everything going on during our wedding day, knowing our little guys were home safe and taken care of made the day so much less stressful. Thank you Kendal!

Kyleigh stayed with Ellie for 3 nights over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was outstanding -- amazing communication before her stay, she visited us twice before we left, she's extremely responsive and replies to texts almost immediately. She took excellent care of Ellie who is 6 weeks post-op after surgery on a torn knee. She has many restrictions and takes meds 2x/day and Kyleigh handled all of that with confidence and ease. Kyleigh left the house in pristine condition and even left us some of the brownies she baked while there! We are already planning to rebook with her!

Sophia is amazing, she took care of our dogs for five days and I’ve never felt so calm of leaving them with someone before. She followed instructions, asked questions, gave so much love to the dogs, sent pictures for updates and overall was very sweet. Will definitely be booking her for our next trip!

About: I’ve been caring for my own cats and chinchillas since I was 11. I used to walk dogs when I was younger simply for the fun of it and have handled a variety of pets, from rabbits, guinea pigs, chihuahuas to english mastiffs. I’m a baby LVT and freshly graduated Bachelors student from Delhi’s veterinary technology program. I have experience with medicating pets whether it be a pill, ointment, etc, especially by myself. I have performed intramuscular and SQ injections, and with IV as well. I love meeting new pets + their owners, and getting more and more experience with varying ages and breeds. I also took BOCES during high school, and have experience with grooming, nail trimming and ear cleaning. I simply have fun with it because I love animals, and keep organized notes to ensure I remember everything specific for pets as I thrive best on details and structure. That being said I have not used Rover much and only temporarily ever open my account if I have a break. So please bear with me! :) Now that I’ve graduated, I’m taking a short break from working to enjoy my summer off. This frees up my time entirely aside from any dates marked in my calendar that I’m unavailable. I may have plans here or there but I can work around them to still drop in and do visits however many times best for your pets! It gets me out of the house :) I have so much experience with my own very mischievous pets. Animal safety and comfort is a big priority to me and I will always take an owners notes to heart about a pet, I will write things down. Whether it be feeding routines, exercise, precautions on habits (like chewing cords, my cats are very guilty of this). I would expect a clients home to be pet proofed to the best extent they can offer, but I have great hearing for small sounds and if I pick up on any suspicious I will immediately check it out incase a pet is doing something they aren’t supposed to. I’ve seen and heard a few horror stories about foreign bodies, and emergency trips so I try to be very thorough with pet safety.

About: I've always loved animals but didn't have the space to care for one of my own, until recently, so my interactions have mostly been through other's animals. In high school I was an animal science major and volunteered at doggy daycares. Then in college I studied basic canine care and training where I got experience in training different dogs. Now I have my own puppies, 2 2 year olds and a 1 year old, so more experience everyday! Currently in between employments and looking for something to keep me occupied that would benefit others as well. So available anytime that would be convenient for you! I have decent space for my pups and have my own precautions. I will prioritize the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby as if they're my own, so I assure you that I will follow any and all instructions given to me by you.

About: I have been taking care of animals since childhood and would often pet sit for family members, some of which were entire farms for a week at a time. Neighbors and family members have relied on me for daily care of their dogs and cats with care tasks including feeding, walking and sometimes bathing. I am currently in nursing school and I have a very flexible schedule during the week (except Mondays, Tuesdays) and on weekends. I currently have an almost 5 years old Australian cattle dog (very friendly w/ other dogs) and also live on a hobby farm. You will see my reviews are from Canada, where I lived for 6 years, but moved back home in the last couple of years and wanted to start my account up again :) I have a large property for walks and playtime without having to drive to a trail. I am also able to crate your dog if that is needed. I am available for frequent potty breaks (every 0-2 hours).
