Michelle is amazing with my 2 mastiffs. My dogs dont always have the best manners and sometimes jump when she arrives but are sweet dogs and she is so so patient and loving with them. She doesnt just stop in and let them pee, she spends time with them and makes them feel loved when I cant be there.

Amanda was reliable and flexible. We came back early and she switched her time for Charleys final visit. She spent time inside and out, as Charley enjoys sitting outside in her stroller, birdwatching, and she was understanding with the occasional hisses of Charley feeling unsure.. Definitely will call her again!

About: I can assure you I will adapt to your pets' needs, even if extravagant to keep them happy, to assure they always feel secure and at home. I have dog shelter experience, dog sitting experience and experience with my own puppies as I have successfully raised and trained three. I am mostly always at home. If your dog is special needs, needs medication, or is a senior, I am always willing to learn how to take care of them. Otherwise, if you have any requests or so, ask away. I will not shy away or slack on the little things, especially if your pet really needs something. I am always right here if you happen to have any questions about my services. I have my own senior pup who I take care of. Daily walks and treats are a necessity! Pet care is incredibly dog-specific and what works for one might not work for the other. I think being flexible and listening to your dogs needs is a constant need. I care for dogs by following instruction not only from owner but pup, being open to their needs and regulating their emotions throughout our visit.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful and took the best care of our very needy cats! They loved their time with her and we got loads of pictures of them playing and soaking in the snuggles while we were gone! Knowing the cats were in such good hands allowed us to fully enjoy our trip!

Heather visited with Ruby before and were friends from the beginning. She was on time at the agreed hours and took care of Ruby with no issues. I found her to be friendly, reliable and pampering towards Ruby. I would not hesitate to have her take care of Ruby anytime. Thanks Heather, till next time!

Alison was so awesome! My dogs absolutely loved her and when I came home from my trip I could tell they really enjoyed their time with her while I was away. Alison was especially considerate with my senior dachshund who I was quite nervous to leave, but her separation anxiety was minimal thanks to all the love she got from Alison! Alison was great with juggling the needs of her along with my high energy 4 year old Irish setter. We will definitely be repeat clients!

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs since I was a little girl, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I currently have a Golden Retriever and a Mini Australian Shepherd who are truly part of my family, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. Whether it’s walks, daycare, overnight stays, or just extra love and attention while you’re away, I’ll treat your dog like my own. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I am currently on the job hunt after spending a year abroad, so I am home with the pups all day and have extremely open availability for walks, daycare, or boarding(: I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups of my own! Plenty of space for them to run and play. I have a tiny kiddy pool for them to play outside as well on hot Florida days

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was a child, from dogs, to cats, to guinea pigs, to horses. As the owner of an amazing Collie, I understand the anxiety many pet parents have when it comes to leaving their pets in someone else's care. That's why I personalize each visit to meet your pets exact needs and wants, so you can focus on whatever needs your attention while your pet receive the love and attention they deserve! I am a freelance media producer who works from home, with complete control over my scheduling. I love being active and outside, so a walk with your pet or a home-visit is perfect! I have a car and a flexible schedule that allows me to go anywhere and everywhere. For home-visits, let me know the dos and don'ts of your property, and I will respect it as I do my own. Please provide a list of instructions for whatever you need and want done for your pet!

About: I know how important (and relieving) it is to find a sitter on Rover you can truly trust. With two pets of my own at home, I understand how much dogs become part of the family and how important it is to know they are in caring, responsible hands. I have also cared for older foster dogs during hurricanes, which taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing comfort during stressful situations. As a law student away from home, I do not currently have the time to care for a dog full time, so I see Rover as an opportunity to share some of the love and care I have for animals with your pets. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to making your dogs feel safe, cared for, and loved while you are away. Currently, I have a very flexible schedule. I can walk dogs multiple times a day and also pet sit for a few hours or check in as many times as needed! In your home, I would care for your dog by not only learning where all of their important items are, but also understanding their individual preferences, whether that’s where they like to rest, their favorite toy, or behaviors they may show when they are missing you. I know how important consistency and comfort are for pets while their owners are away. You can also count on me to respect your home, follow your routines closely, and remain communicative throughout my time with your pet so you always feel informed and reassured.

Each of our dogs has a different personality and set of needs, and it was obvious that they were all given individual attention and care. We came home to three happy, relaxed dogs—which says everything. Julie kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away.

Rachel is fantastic! We knew we were in good hands starting with the meet and greet. Really took time to get to know us and our pup Tony. Very responsive and flexible regarding our plans, and patient and helpful! Then for the day of the walk she provided updates about our dog and I know they had a great time together! Our dog was in excellent spirits when we returned. We were nervous since we hadn’t had a walker come in years, but all fears were put aside with Rachel. Can’t recommend enough. She brings passion and care to her work!
