“Juli is wonderful, and my old cat Moses appears to agree! He was happy and relaxed and clearly well cared for when I got home from my trip, and Juli's photos and detailed updates throughout were great. I will definitely hire Juli again!”
“Great visit!”
“We are so happy to have found Emily! She took amazing care of Bear, and we couldn’t be more grateful. It’s such a relief knowing he’s in great hands while we are at work. We’re so excited for her to be a part of Bear’s life and to watch him grow!”
“Alex was very easy work with. He let us know each time he came to our home & had a nice update on how the pup's were doing. We also appreciated the photo's he sent us. He made it very comfortable for us to go away for a few days. We would definitely have Alex come watch our pup's again.”
“Thank you Erica for the wonderful care of our cats. We look forward to having you again. It’s so nice to have someone reliable, dependable and caring! Our cats loved you!”
“Norma is not only a super sweet girl but she’s extra great with our 4 legged baby! He has been stuck inside the house the last couple of weeks with kennel cough and couldn’t go to daycare. We need Norma for an afternoon to go run some errands and be with our boy. He was well taken care of and more. Thank you, Norma!! We hope to have you over again.”
“Brooke was very communicative and my dogs were happy and well-taken care of word.”
“Laura did a terrific job! She did stop-in visits for our cat Mo, and we could tell he was well taken care of during our trip! She was very easy to communicate with and kept us up to date on his condition each time she stopped by! Definitely worth the money and will book again in the future!”
“Sage is my go-to sitter for my bunny eevee, and I can always count on her to come through even on last minute requests!! She’s extremely kind and flexible, which is exactly what I need from a sitter. Cannot recommend enough!”
“I can't speak highly enough of Tobi! She was communicative, flexible, kind and patient. She went above and beyond my expectations! My cat is not an easy guy to care for, but Tobi took his grumpiness in stride. She even cleaned up his stress-messes! She checked on my big guy daily, followed all instructions, and her check-in cards with pictures really put me at ease. This was my first time using the Rover app and Tobi set the bar very high. I would recommend her to anyone looking for check-in care of their furry friend!”
“Emily is wonderful and took amazing care of our grouchy cat. She is responsive and responsible, which is very much appreciated when trying to find someone to pet sit during the holidays. We will certainly request Emily's pet-sitting abilities in the future.”
“Kallie always does an amazing job with my cat when he needs a check in. She's responsive and always goes above and beyond with extra help, if necessary.”
“Danielle took care of our cat for a few days. She always send updates, pictures and videos of her check ins and our cat loved her. Thank you!”
About: Need a fun, safe space for your dog? Look no further. I would love to walk your pup, play ball, or give them a few school lessons. I am a certified professional dog trainer so I am familiar with dogs needs, their communication, and understand them from a behavioral perspective. I am currently working part-time as a dog trainer. My schedule is very flexible. If I do have to leave for work, your pup would only be alone for a couple hours. I have a fully fenced yard. Plenty of room for playing fetch. I do prefer dogs that are crate trained, although it’s not a requirement.
“Mary took such great care of our Cats. She was very communicative, bright, and positive. Everything was done correctly and with love and care.”
“Kyle was awesome to work with. Very quick on communication and did great with the dogs. We will definitely use him again!”
“Baylee was very responsible and caring”
About: Hi there! :) I’m passionate about taking care of animals and always make sure they feel comfortable when they’re with me. I've helped raise a labradoodle and terrier for over five years. I’ve been around dogs and puppies most of my life so I’m completely comfortable with them, large or small. I’ve also taken care of dogs with bigger personalities and also much more tame ones. I’m extremely patient around any dog and always go out of my way to make them feel comfortable. I work full-time and am mostly remote. My schedule is also very flexible. I finish work on the weekdays at 4pm, and my WFH schedule allows me to watch your furry pal during/after my shift. I know that it can be tough to leave your pup overnight or under someone else’s care so I always communicate with my clients updates or photos of their pups. My biggest priority is also to make sure your pup is comfortable with me. They’re welcome to relax on my couch or bed if they’re staying at my home. I’m available anytime before or during a booking for any questions you may have!
“Alyssa is incredible! I got so many pictures and updates of our puppy. I knew she was well taken care of during the outings. I can’t recommend enough and will definitely use Alyssa in the future :)”
“Riga was AMAZING! She came to watch our golden retriever for us last minute when our normal sitter fell through. She sent a picture update, took our dog on a walk, and she even did the dishes. You could tell she gave our pup a lot of attention because usually when we get home shes very excited and a little crazy, but when we got home she greeted us and seemed very content and almost like she didnt even notice we were gone! 5 stars for Riga, we will for sure use you again if we get the chance!”
