“Nikki did such an amazing job caring for our two pups during a 4 day house sitting. As littermates, they needed someone with extra patience and experience handling their occasional reactivity. She really took the time to get to know them and understand their individual behaviors. Nikki made us feel so comfortable with regular updates, and adorable pictures. She even managed to leave the house cleaner than when she arrived! Next booking is just weeks away, twice as long, and we have no doubts that she'll be fantastic with them again!”


“Andrea was great and helped care for Rosie while we were out of town. Would definitely use her services again, we really appreciate everything she did!!”


“Jeni was great! Super thorough on the front end of making sure everything was set before she arrived. She was detailed in asking me questions to prepare her to stay with my dogs that I hadn't even thought of. Jeni was very professional and dealt with issues as they arose. 10/10 recommend.”


“Ethana sat my 11 week old puppy. She followed all directions and requests as directed. She also was able to house sit for an allotted time which I greatly appreciated. I felt comfortable knowing my puppy was left in good hands as she had updated me with a picture and when she ate and went to the bathroom.”

“Chrissonna is truly the best, my dogs love her and they are picky ladies! They are so well cared for and comfortable with her that when I got home after a full week away they acted like I had just come home from work. Happy, healthy, and wanting to talk me into snack distribution! I feel absolutely terrible that sometime while I was gone my air conditioning went out, but no one seems worse for wear.”


“Six stars, if I could!! She was amazing. I had complete peace of mind while I was away. Great communication, made sure my pup got lots of love, attention, and activities, and took great care of my home, too! My pup is missing her already. Looking forward to having her watch him (and my other 2) in the future!!”


“This was my first Rover booking and it couldn’t have gone better thanks to Brad. He was professional and took the odd feeding and activity requests in stride. I enjoyed getting pictures of our dog, who surprisingly ate all of his food while we were away. (A first for us, since our dog is happiest when we are home.) I couldn’t even tell someone had stayed in the house when we returned. I also appreciate that he adjusted the schedule when we learned we needed to leave earlier than originally planned. Communication was prompt and clear. He made a point to meet and connect with our dog before we traveled. While he has other jobs, it’s clear Brad is professional in his approach to dog sitting and not just someone available when they are home from school etc (not that there is anyone wrong with that)”


“Our boys loved Scarlet and love having her company! We were so happy to have Scarlet care for them the first time leaving them with anyone but family! Thank you again!”

“Bailey has house sat/dog sat my pup several times and she always eases my anxiety. Having a dog sitter that you can rely on and trust makes all the difference any time you're taking a vacation. This last time was, once again, a reassuring feeling. She sent lots of photos and updates, and takes great care of my little guy when I'm gone. Thanks Bailey!”


“Molly was incredible in taking care of my pup and house. She was consistent in giving me updates with great photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter and I plan on using her services again in the near future.”


“Lishi cared for my pets like they were her own, and sent plenty of updates and pictures which made being away from them much easier. She even left the house cleaner than she found it, which was a fantastic surprise. We will be using her again!”


“Rachel was awesome! She watched my dog for a few days while I was away on a little trip and I felt very comfortable with her. She was a great communicator and very responsive. She sent updates whenever I checked in. Rachel also went above and beyond when my dogs medication wasn’t going to be delivered until after I left and she was able to make sure to get it and give it to my dog! Would definitely use her again and recommend her to others!”


About: Hi! my name is Denique and I have a strong love for all types of animals. I am a 24yr old graduate from A&T University with a major in Animal Science. I have been caring for pets ever since I was a toddler. Caring for a pet in my household has always been my responsibility and I’ve done so very well, although I currently do not own a pet at the moment it just makes me more passionate to care for others. Making sure your pet is happy, safe, and having a good time is one of my main priorities. I am so excited to care for your pets and give them the best time. I promise I will be extremely loving to your animals. <3 I hope you decide to pick me as your pet sitter, you will not be dissatisfied. Feel free to contact me anytime. I currently have a job at a vet hospital where I tend to work long shifts throughout the week. In order to make sure your pet gets the most quality time they deserve I schedule my time where I am available to fulfill the needs of your pet. Your animals safety is one of my main priorities because I want to make sure they are always comfortable. When outside I prefer to leash your pet or hold them for their protection until we are in a safe area.

About: I have had a variety of different types of four-legged babies throughout my life from the beginning and can't imagine a world without them! I'm thrilled to be a part of the Rover community, and always appreciate the opportunity to care for yours! As a devoted lifelong pet owner myself, I understand the unique needs and joys that come with caring for animals of all ages, sizes and personalities! Whether your child needs lots of attention or is indifferent, takes medication like a treat or requires a trick, gets along well with others or not…as long as you share what they need to live their best life while you’re away I will make it happen! I'm currently not working and am doing Rover full time. While I may step out for an hour or two, I am home the majority of the day. I have a pug pup too and sometimes she comes with me on drop ins if you have a socialized pup who’s down for a play date! I live in an apartment and don't have a fenced in yard, but my community has plenty of green spaces and dog park for potty breaks and light walking. I have several repeat clients, some who I have never met in person. I understand it can be unsettling to leave your fur-child in the care of a complete stranger! When doing drop in/walking visits, I will respect your home, your privacy, and your pet(s).
