I recently had to return to the office full-time after working from home for the past three years, and I was quite anxious about leaving my dog alone for eight hours. A friend recommended Rover, and I decided to give it a try, though I was initially hesitant about having someone come to my place and take care of my dog. That's when I found Lisa, who lives nearby. We arranged a meet-up last week, and to my surprise, I realized I have known her husband and her dog, Bodie, for the past three years from our neighborhood walks. This connection instantly put me at ease, and I was thrilled to have found someone I could trust. Lisa has been incredible this week, taking care of my dog during the middle of the day. She sends me pictures and updates on how he's doing, which reassures me while I'm at work. Her dedication, communication, and reliability have been outstanding. I highly recommend Lisa to anyone in need of a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter. She's been a lifesaver during this transition, and I couldn't be happier with the care she's provided.

Baining is the only right answer. I was new to the app and was in need of a dog sitter. I was hesitant to even try Rover but Baining made the whole process easy. She was kind enough to arrange for a meet and greet before the days I needed help. She was very easy to talk to and highly communicative. She's awesome and I'll absolutely be reaching out in the future. Thanks Baining!

This is my second time having Corey look after my 2 cats and i can’t recommend her enough ! She is incredibly thoughtful and will often bring her own toys to ensure the kittens get their play time and attention. She goes above and beyond in sending me detailed photos of their time together and always makes sure they have fresh food, water, and a clean litter box. Will be booking her again for my next weekend away !

About: I'm the person my friends ask to babysit their pets - young dogs, senior dogs, cats, etc. I've administered medicine, etc. My family home has had 3 German shepherds, and I raised a golden mix and two cats separately. I work from home online, so my schedule is very flexible. If I'm house-sitting and you have internet, everything is great. I take dogs for 2 walks a day at least and potty breaks several times daily. Cats - some like to be left alone, and some want company or to know someone's home...so I'm willing to do either, depending on the personality. I always try to keep my eyes on the pets - indoors and outdoors at all times. They're like children so I try to be cautious what they might be chewing on, where they're walking, etc.

I couldn't be happier with the care my puppy received from Elvira! She was absolutely wonderful and followed my care instructions to the letter. My puppy loved her, and it was clear that she has a natural affinity with animals. Knowing that my puppy was in such good hands hands allowed my to feel at ease while I was away. I highly recommend Elvira to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking care of my furry friend!

About: My family always had pets (cats, dogs, birds, fish) throughout my childhood. Now, I have two dogs who mean the world to me. I grew up pet sitting for neighbors when I was 9 years old going over to their house to feed their cats, to walking dogs and doing multiple home visits a day, to staying overnight. I’ve always liked pets and gotten along well with animals. I’m pretty calm and they (usually) react well to that. I work from home as a consultant and have a flexible work schedule. I’m available during the day, mornings, evenings and weekends, as long as I have enough notice. I want to be sure your pet is comfortable at all times. When I arrive to meet your pet, please show me what environment you and your pet prefer for while you’re away.

The only sitter I'll trust with my dogs! She goes above and beyond with making sure I have peace of mind while I'm on vacation, and that my dogs are well taken care of. She also handles large dogs very well which was a major factor for me when choosing her as my sitter. Will definitely be booking with her for my next upcoming trips!

I give my full recommendation for Jacklyn to care for pets on Rover.com. Jacklyn has demonstrated in a multitude of ways of caring for others and pets. Not only does she show compassion in many ways, she has shown to be responsible for herself and others. Taking initiative and a variety of responsibilities in her organization, she has shown to be determined in her responsibilities. Jacklyn also has had many loving animals in her life, all which she has provided the most loving care towards. Jacklyn has also volunteered at animal shelters in her free time, where she has devoted her love to those animals in need.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and all animals since I was about 8! I grew up on a horse farm in Michigan and always had the responsibility of caring for my horse and my dog! As I got older it became a passion of mine. I am currently in school. Prior to me living in California I worked for canine academy as a K9 off leash dog trainer. I also had a small group of dogs I would walk, watch and care for as well. I have found some extra free time in my life currently and I would love to help watch and care for your furry friend while you’re away at work or on a trip! I have found myself a bit bored sitting at home now a days when I have time away from school and I would love to keep myself busy doing something that genuinely makes me happy! I offer whatever it may be that would make you animal feel most safe. Outdoor time if that’s what is needed, a nice walk to calm down and get rid of energy, backyard time, other dog play time if acceptable. Lots of love and cuddles! Every dog is different.. all depends on the dog itself
