“Jessica was great, my dog had the best day with her! My dog doesn't realize he's as big as he is, but she didn't mind him in invading her space and treated him like the spoiled four-legged baby that he is! She was so good to him and I greatly appreciate it!”
“Lynn was fantastic! She was extremely friendly, on time, and her communication skills were on point. She made sure to ask all the right questions before hand so Queenie’s needs were met. She sent photos and videos throughout the day. Definitely rebooking anytime we need someone to sit Queenie again!”
“Sandy was a perfect fit for my senior dog who is rather stubborn! I did not worry at all about him getting his medications and she kept me updated with texts. She was quick to respond to my random texts as well!”
“Kris was great. She took care of my 2 dogs and my grand puppy who got added at the last minute. Appreciated all the pictures and updates! Dogs loved their walks and care.”
“Emma did such a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away for most of two days for a wedding. We have a couple special needs dogs, one dog who is blind and another who has pretty severe separation anxiety and they warmed up to Emma so quickly. By the second day they were ready for us to leave to spend time with Emma, and that made us feel good about choosing her. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you for the love and care you showed our pups Emma! It made us feel so comfortable knowing they were in good hands!”
About: I’ve taken care of small to big dogs for almost 10 years now. I have a dealt with a handful of reactive dogs as well as plenty non reactive dogs, I was taught how to read dogs body language about 6 months ago and I’m still working on improving! I have dealt with scuffles as well as dogs that were very persistent. Currently I am at a doggy daycare Fridays and Saturdays taking care of daycare and boarding dogs. Sunday thought Thursday I am at home taking care of my own dog by continuing his training, taking him on walks, playing with him, and watching him play with his sister. In my home I care for my pets by making sure I give them attention, exercise, mental stimulation, fun outside time with bones and toys, as well as making sure my puppy stays rested after a long day. When taking care of clients pets I treat them the exact same way and I make sure I follow the owners instructions to ensure the best care for the best pups!
“Katie was fantastic! She replied within 30 minutes, and this was at 2:00 A.M! I was in a last-minute bind, but sure enough, she was at my door 13 hours later. She took great care of my 5-month old pup. I have only had him a month and he is a little skittish. I was running a little late and only had about 10-minutes to run out my door. A half hour later, Katie was sending me photos of my pup laying on his back with submissive paws while his belly was being rubbed, and not too long after, him happily catching zzzzz's. Katie took my pup for a walk and went well-above any of my expectations. I would highly recommend her, implicitly. Thanks Katie! See ya next time!”
“Levi did a great job with my dogs. When I got home, the house looked well taken care of, the dogs were happy and he had left me a note. Would definitely book again.”
About: I will love and cherish your fur baby as my own. More scratches and pets than they could hope for. And plenty of roaming time for refreshment 🫶🏼 I am happy to help where and how I can as I understand the parental worry of being away all day. I am currently home for the summer as an adjunct instructor. My daughter continues daycare full-time Monday-Friday, with the exception of random hookie days. But I am always available and very flexible! I don’t disrespect my own home, I would never do it to yours. I am a renter and unable to bring furbabies for play dates but would happily spend the day with your fur baby as well as tidying up or washing a couple dishes.
About: I’ve loved dogs as long as i can remember, I’ve been around dogs my whole life, had a Labrador Retriever growing up. My passion really began when neighbors would start asking me to dog sit for them. I always knew I wanted to do something with animals (mainly dogs.) a family friend told me about Rover & I immediately knew I had to become a sitter. I am very trustworthy and reliable & easy to reach! I currently do not have any pets in my home which makes me a great sitter if your dog isn’t a fan of other dogs/animals! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs & care for them. I currently only work 3 days a week for 4 hours so I’m VERY flexible! You can always count on the fact that your dog is SAFE. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I will keep your dog leashed unless you say otherwise!
“Mallory was excellent !! She was very welcomed by my dogs and my self. Checked in with me sent photos and made sure they were well taken care of I would definitely hire her again.”
“Bri was a great sitter for my 2 boys! She communicated great and responded back quickly. I got daily photos/videos and my boys seemed to have a great time! She left the house super clean and even washed and changed out the bed sheets and towels, which is such a wonderful thing to come home to after a day of travel! I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
“JENNIFER IS THE BEST--she house sat and stayed with our pom and kitty for a week and we never had one minute of concern or worry. She is excellent w our babies and everything went perfectly. We will definitely hire her again and wholeheartedly recommend her. Please note this was our first experience using Rover and we are so impressed; Jennifer handled everything with ease and was professional and friendly, we feel lucky to have found her.”
About: I’ve had animals in my life since I was a baby. I have always enjoyed being around animals and playing with them and building trust with them and being able to cuddle with them on tough days. I have had different types of animals in my life. I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamster, bearded dragon. I currently work part time as a nanny on mondays and Friday and I also currently am trying to create my own business of refurbishing furniture when I have the time. So I am available most days. If yard is fenced I let them run and play and watch them at all times. Otherwise I will put a leash on them so they stay close. I will also pay attention to where they are at all times.
“Allison watched both my dogs for a full day and was great! She provided updates throughout the day and was a great companion for them while my husband and I were working! Thank you so much! We will definitely rebook with her!”
About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. I currently have 3 and live on a 6 acre farm where the dogs can run and play all day. I’m currently between jobs but anticipate that my next work will be WFH so I can care for the dogs and other farm animals day in and day out. While the yard is not fenced per se, I do have invisible fencing if your dog is used to that system. I have 3 of my own dogs that know the boundaries and stay within them. I have a 3 bedroom house with 2 of the bedrooms unoccupied so there is plenty of space. I have crates of different sizes of your dog prefers to be crated for any length of time. One of my dogs is crated when not home the other 2 are free to roam the house and very well behaved.
“Araya was so great with our 13 wk old pup, who is a handful to say the least. She did an amazing job and even brought some lovely surprises home from her work at the vet's office. We couldn't have imagined a better sitter for our little one. ?”
About: I'm familiar with several different sizes and breeds of pets. Some dogs, some cats. I'm used to always having a pet around. I enjoy spending time with pets. I'm currently doing what I can for work on my own. I'm hoping pet care can become another thing I do. Let me know what you need accomplished and when. I will do my best to keep your pets on a similar schedule as they are used to. I will also do my best to keep the pets comfortable.
About: I’ve had cats, dogs, Guinea pigs plus litters, rats plus litters, rabbits plus litters, bearded dragons, birds, mice, hamsters and I would love to watch any animals you have small to big, caged or not caged. From the age of 5 I have had dogs and I’ve always walked and taken care of other dogs in my building from taking them on walks to watching them for a week while the owner was away. I currently have 8 pets I care for daily and plus a toddler so I’m pretty experienced and honestly 8 just isn’t enough for me I have a dog and a cat to keep either species entertained and happy, I can offer as many walks a day as needed plus even trick training if needed.
About: What sets me apart from others is my willingness to go the extra mile. Need something done in a specific manner? I will be sure to listen and make sure it is done properly. I have a golden retriever that needs things done a specific way so I know how important it is to listen to those steps. I have administered pills for both my own dog and others that I have watched so I am very comfortable with that process. I am currently working part-time so I have been finding a lot of extra time on my hands that I’d like to get busy with! That being said I have a very flexible schedule. So getting your pup out at the proper times would not be an issue! I care for your animal as you would. Like I said before, I know the importance of things done specific ways so I’m courteous of your pups and your own needs. I love to love on them, but understand if they are not for it, so I know my boundaries!:)

Her kindness and attention to detail ensure that every pet in her care feels loved, safe, and well-exercised. Teresa is not only dependable but also goes above and beyond to make sure pets are happy and comfortable. Whether it’s taking them on long walks, playing their favorite games, or simply giving them extra cuddles, she treats every dog as if they were her own.
