“Excellent expirience all around. This was our first time using Rover after our original sitter fell through. Chris was fantastic at communicating and sent so many updates and photos we felt like our dogs were with us on our trip. Chris not only let our dogs out and fed them but really cared for them and made sure they were happy and comfortable while we were gone. We will absolutely use Chris again!”
“Tena did great with our babies! I was so nervous to leave them behind this trip. She gave them great care and attention and even managed to get one of my more aloof cats to sniff her! She is awesome!”
“Shanisa was a wonderful sitter! My home was left cleaned and organized and my pups were happy as can be. She was prompt to respond and even though i was away for only a weekend, she made sure to send pictures and videos to me. Would highly recommend!”
“Jen and Matt are the best! It was our first week away with an in-home sitter. They went above and beyond in every way. They took in the mail and trash cans, brought Ellie special treats, and even fed the fish! We are so grateful for their kindness. Thanks for being accountable. I didn’t worry once the entire trip!”
“Michaela was great. We knew our pup would be well taken care of after our meet and greet. She sent us photos and gave us updates on his eating, drinking and exercise. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Michaela again.”
“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”
About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.
“Taylor is a huge help and Maxwell loves spending time with her! She is attentive and makes sure Maxwell is entertained and has someone to snuggle with during the day. 10/10 for sure!”
“We were nervous about leaving our senior cat with multiple health issues with anyone, but after reading Ciara’s profile and meeting her with Walter, we left him and our home in her care. She handled everything exactly as we hoped, followed instructions exactly, and kept us informed every day. She stayed until we returned, and the house was perfect. Walter was content, calm and happy.”
“Zhane was lovely! My dog is overly anxious and has some particular needs, and Zhane made sure she was well taken care of. My girl immediately settled in with her, which is usually not the case. Zhane made sure to send updates and photos and communicated well throughout. We would definitely book with her again!”
About: Aside from having my own pets at home, I also work part time at a kennel/boarding dog service business. This makes me used to working with any low energy senior to a higher energy puppy. I only work part time so I have tons of extra time to take care of dogs & cats everyday besides just the ones I own! I plan to make sure every pet is taken care of in the best least stressful way possible. Since my main job currently already requires me to be on time, giving medicine as needed, and handling feedings I am quite used to matching the dogs day to day routine.
About: I have experience taking care of and training pets of all ages. I can administer medication, feed, train, and play with your pets with ease. I am so excited to spend time with your pets!! I am currently applying to full-time jobs that utilize my newfound degrees, so I have a lot of free time to take care of and meet new furry friends! I am highly responsible and am CPR certified. I am a very organized and conscientious person, and I aim to ensure that your pet’s safety and happiness are of paramount importance☺️
“Terry was terrific! Very warm, kind and amazing with our Ollie. Terry is also, very professional and efficient, she took very good care of my home as well. Truly she went above & beyond.”
“I can not recommend Ryan enough! She came over to meet Luna 2 days before we left and immediately felt extremely comfortable with her. Throughout her stay she sent lots of pictures and videos and Luna was so at ease with her. Our pup is extremely attached to us so having someone she fell in love with was so amazing! We love Ryan and we have found a dog sitter for life! We even came home to a clean house, and a sweet little note with friendship bracelets that Ryan made for us!☺️ HIRE HER…you will NOT be disappointed!”
About: My fur baby genuinely makes every day of my life better. Pets are the purest form of love and trust, and it is so special that we get to share that! I love animals of all shapes and sizes, including ones that have more than 4 legs 🕷️ reptiles 🦎 or rodents 🐀 I have been pet/house sitting since my teenage years, for neighbors, family members, and by recommendation. I love the outdoors and being active, if your pet does too we are sure to have ourselves an adventure! Young or senior, your pet will have their needs tended to and their senses engaged (or respect their space if they prefer to have less socialization). I currently do freelance work and I can make and set my own schedule. I have a lot of flexibility to tend to your fur babies! I am a very empathetic human, so making sure your animal is happy and healthy fills me with joy! I respect and understand that every fur baby is different and has their own needs and personality. I look forward to listening & learning what your pet loves and needs!
About: With a lifelong passion for animals, I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, learning the ins and outs of their care from a young age. Since I was about five, I’ve been actively involved in walking, feeding, and training our pets alongside my dad. Although I currently can't have pets in my apartment, I’m eager to share my love and experience by walking your dog with the same care and affection as if they were my own. I look forward to providing a safe, enjoyable, and loving experience for your furry friends! As a full-time professional, I understand the demands of a busy schedule. That's why I'm available for dog walking anytime after 4:30 PM on weeknights. Whether you need someone to drop by and check in on your pets for a quick visit or feeding, or a nice walk to end the day, I’m here to help. I offer late afternoon and early evening walks to ensure your furry friend gets the exercise and attention they need. Let's keep your dog happy and active while you manage your day! Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I ensure proper handling and use of a sturdy leash and harness to keep them secure during walks. I’m attentive to their behavior, checking for signs of discomfort or anxiety, and adapting the pace and route to suit their needs. I also remain vigilant about my surroundings, watching out for other animals, traffic, and potential hazards. With my experience and care, you can trust that your dog will enjoy a safe and enjoyable walk every time.
