10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.

We are repeat customers of Haley and it’s a huge relief knowing she’s taking care of our boys. She’s always reliable and goes above and beyond to make sure they are ok. We look forward to our next trip knowing we won’t need to worry about the boys when they’re in Haley’s hands!

Micayla is great! She stepped in when my regular sitter was unable to cover a couple of long days and the pups were well taken care of and I was totally able to trust all was well. Will absolutely book Micayla again and recommend choosing her for your furbabies.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of many sizes, most have been large. I can care for both puppies and seniors, though I still need work with training. I also have experience with cats and kittens. I spent some time taking care of dogs with separation anxiety, and I can tell you that I will do what I can to help your pups (or cats) feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also have plenty of experience walking dogs of any size and energy level both professionally and personally. I am currently searching for a job, however until I have a full or part time job I can be with your furry friends all day! I even after the fact, I should always have plenty of time to care for and play with your pups and/or cats. I do everything I can to make sure that your animals will be comfortable and feel safe with me while I’m caring for them. If they’re skittish I will be slow and gentle with them, and if they are more social I will still give them space and time to get used to me, while still playing with them and taking them on walks so they can release their energy!

He’s also so friendly and an absolute joy to work with. I recommend him to anyone in need of a pet sitter!

I’ve gotten a puppy since having them as a sitter for my other dog and they were super accommodating and flexible with a new routine and new dog! Would 100% recommend them both to care for your pets.

Ethan was great. He took care of everything we needed. Our cats are typically shy of new people but they both came out for him and were back to normal very quickly when we got home (sometimes can take days). He was wonderful about sending pictures which was reassuring since one of our cats had been sick recently. We won't hesitate to book Ethan the next time we are out of town

I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!

Susie has checked in on my kitties and provided them excellent care a few times now-my super anxious one even comes out of hiding when she is dropping in. She is always the first person I ask and it puts my mind at ease to know she is going to be with them! I highly recommend her. She goes the extra mile and even stopped by to remove a possibly dangerous item the cats could have gotten into if they got bored enough, outside of the window I booked her because I was worried the cats could get into something they shouldn't have. All around, she provides 5 star service and really loves cats. :)

We’ve been working with Juli for several years now. Although we only ask her to come by intermittently, she is always our first choice. We trust her completely with our fur family. She’s an excellent communicator and completely dependable. One of the things we like the best is her comprehensive and detailed report cards and she takes lots of pictures. Juli is an absolute pro and we really appreciate her!

This was our first experience leaving our beloved calico, Macy, with a non-family member during a trip. We're so happy it was with Kayleigh. Our normally reserved cat greeted her at our first meeting with ankle rubs, as if she were a family member! Kayleigh kept in touch every day sending several pictures, and she even took care of the ants who invaded Macy's food bowl! We'd be very happy to have her help again on our next trip.

Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!
