“Micaela was a lifesaver for us! Our previous dog sitter canceled last minute and Micaela swooped in and saved our vacation. She was extremely communicative, she shared photos of our dogs with us, she took very good care of our house and even better care of our dogs! We will definitely book her again the next time we travel and need to leave the dogs at home. I highly recommend Micaela to other dog owners in need of a caring and respectful petsitter”
9. Rodina H.
“We had a tall order for Rodina with housesitting with 4 dogs from 3 households in one of our homes for a week. We were extremely pleased with the care Rodina showed for our pups as well as for the house and yard. A couple of the dogs had had accidents in our house previously but Rodina’s attention prevented any recurrences. Everything - and every dog - was in great shape when we returned. We highly recommend Rodina to anyone and will definitely make use of her services again if and when the need arises.”

15. Ivanis L.
About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.
16. Rachel W.
“I am very happy with the service that Rachel provided and I cannot recommend her enough. She was able to help us out in a pinch when we needed someone to watch our dogs for 10 days with very little notice. Just before our trip, our older great dane needed knee surgery and we were nervous about leaving him with a sitter. Rachel put our worries at ease and was an excellent listener to our concerns and very patient with all of the care that he needed. She was diligent about his physical therapy and medications, and sent us frequent emails with pictures/videos while we were out of the country so we didn't worry once about the capable hands he was in. We are very happy to have found Rachel and will be using her again for our next vacations.”
17. Shannon D.
“We felt like our pup was in great hands with Shannon! She was very hands on and attentive to him throughout the whole weekend. She was very communicative and would ask questions to make sure she was giving our pup the best care. We highly recommend her!”
18. Hannah K.
“Hannah was wonderful, on time, and so sweet! Our pup was in great hands while we were away & all was well when we returned. So happy we found her on Rover ?”
19. Corinne B.
“Corinne is an experienced dog owner and pet care giver. She absolutely loves dogs, and this is evident in the way she's able to quickly understand their personalities and quickly bond with them. Aside from her ability to relate and care for my dogs, she's extremely reliable and responsible. She is very thorough and makes sure she has all important information so that your dog is well cared for so you can have complete peace of mind.”
20. Samantha S.
“Samantha was very professional and responsive. She was quick to suggest a get-acquainted visit, so I was able to meet her and feel good about booking with her a couple of weeks before our trip. The day before the booking, she messaged me to confirm the time she would come the next day. As soon as she got in the house to take care of our dog, she texted a photo of him and assured us that he was doing well. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of our pup. When we returned, the house was in great shape and our dog was calm and happy. We'll call her again!”
