Rebecca did a fantastic job taking care of our dog, Kala. She provided great notes on her drop ins, which allowed me to just read them to catch up and enjoy my trip without feeling like I had to check in. She followed all the rules and recommendations provided and was a super proactive communicator. We will definitely be using her again in the future if possible!

Couldn’t be happier with Shelby. She was gentle with my cats and is a genuinely caring pet sitter. Even though my big guy refused to engage (our girl cat liked her) photos assured me my fur babies were well taken care of. She communicated well and accommodated a last minute holiday request. 10/10 would use her again!🐾🐾🐾🐾

About: flexible schedule and genuine love for dogs. I’m dedicated to making sure each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy. For walks, they are set to 30 minutes, but the length can vary depending on the weather and your dog’s individual needs and energy level. If you are looking to have home cooked human grade food for your dog, I can provide it at an affordable price! Real food instead of kibbles can improve dog’s health, life span, and soften coat. I am home 24/7! Free to walk your dog whenever the dog needs a walk or is bored. I am flexible with pickup time / drop off as I do know that life happens, and I’m here and happy to help! I like to do a meet and greet first for any ongoing or continuous services to ensure your dog feels comfortable, we’re a good fit, and I fully understand their routine and needs.

Madeline was reliable, efficient, caring, and respectful. She cleaned dishes my cats used without me asking, clean us the unexpected messes the cats made, and provided updates with pictures throughout the process. This was my first time using rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better first experience

Jenna provided such great care to our dog. She always arrived at the times we requested, gave detailed notes and took pictures, and spent time with our dog to keep him company while we were on vacation. She even picked up an extra visit when we needed to change our plans. We will definitely book Jenna the next time we need her!

About: I am a proud pet parent to two fur babies, a pug and tabby cat. Our pets are important members of our family. Your pet will get the love and care they deserve while you are away. I know the importance of trusting a good pet sitter. I work part-time. I have flexibility in my day as well as evenings and weekends. I have a lot of availability in the summer as well. I can care for pets in my home. They would be a good playmate for my dog. We have a fenced in yard. My dog loves walks. I would follow your specific instructions when coming into your home.

We were in a bit of a bind and Katelyn stepped in last minute to watch our dog — and she was fantastic. Our pup is pretty anxious and nervous in new situations, but she was so calm and patient with him. She kept us updated and made sure he was comfortable while we were away. We’re really grateful she was able to help on such short notice. Highly recommend!

Brianna was wonderful. We had just moved into a new house, so the cats were a little more skittish than usual. Brianna was very flexible and accommodating with them, even feeding the one who didn’t want to leave the bedroom right there in the bedroom so she would eat. She really went above and beyond for us and the cats this week to make sure everyone (including we humans) was comfortable.

About: I offer several advantages over traditional dog sitters. I don't require breaks, I can provide immediate and continuous attention to your pet, and I can assist with various tasks beyond just sitting Additionally, I can cater to unique and specific needs effectively I’m currently working part time so I’ll have more than enough time to watch and walk your animals. Whether it’s scheduling walking times, arranging grooming appointments or finding local pet friendly events 1. Feeding: Ensure that i have clear instructions on the type of food, portion sizes, and feeding times for the pet. 2. Exercise: Take the pets for regular walks or play sessions to ensure they get enough physical activity. 3. Cleaning and hygiene: Keep the pet's living area clean, including litter boxes, bedding, and any other areas the pets frequent. 4. Monitoring: Watch out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and inform the owner promptly anything unusual. 5. Play and social interaction: Spend time with the pets, providing affection and play to keep them mentally stimulated and happy.

Natalie was on time, thorough with her notes, and took the cutest pictures every visit. She helped us out in a pinch and even my most skittish cat was comfortable enough to love her right away. I cannot recommend her enough.

Jeffrey was kind and responsible with my dog Oso. I also appreciate his patience and understanding when there was an issue with getting into my home for the visit (I accidentally had forgotten to replace the batteries in my garage door opener so had to direct him where to find a spare key). Thank you!!

Kristin has been an absolute blessing for our family and our dog. From day one, she has been reliable, professional, caring, and genuinely invested in our dog's happiness and well-being. It's clear that Kristin truly loves animals. She takes the time to understand our dog's personality, needs, and routines. We always receive updates, and it's reassuring to know our pup is in such capable and caring hands. Kristin is consistently punctual, communicative, and dependable, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. Whether it's a regular walk or helping out when our schedule changes unexpectedly, she is always accommodating and goes above and beyond. The difference in our dog's happiness and confidence since working with Kristin has been remarkable. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional dog sitter. Five stars aren't enough!

Maria was amazing with Tobu. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel really comfortable while I was away. She sent great updates, photos, and videos during each visit, and it was clear Tobu warmed up to her quickly. He’s usually shy with new people, so seeing him playing, purring, and comfortable with her made me really happy. She also followed the feeding instructions and handled everything smoothly. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter.
