Emily was fantastic. We had her stay at our house with our dog while we were away. She was so good to our baby boy. We really feel like she made him a priority. We forgot to tell her so many things about the house (like how to use the tv and thermostat) and she never complained. She was really great with sending pictures and updates of our little guy too. You can tell she really loves dogs. She really made us feel really good about leaving him with someone new (he's not great with new people).

This was our first time using Rover and a pet sitter. Lillie was communicative from the very beginning and throughout the week. She provided excellent care for our 17 year old cat and 6 year old sheltie. We came home to happy animals and a house that looked like no one had been in it. Will definitely use her again.

Our year and 1/2, 170 mastiff absolutely loves Michaela! And I know this because he hasn't stopped looking for her since we got back. She attended to every detail and more. Also she stayed with him at night! It's great knowing our baby has a competent and loving sitter for future needs!

I do not know where to start other than Hillary went above and beyond for my furbabies Piper and Paislee. The night before Hillary was suppose to come stay at the house Paislee became very ill and was at emergency vet from 615pm until 6 am. I explained everything that was going on to Hillary and for not ever watching Piper and Paislee she was very attentive to Paislee as we had to leave 2.5 hours after getting her home to the airport. I cooked everything I needed and left all medications on the counter and let her know the times of next doses. She seemed comfortable with everything and I couldn’t have been lucky enough to find her. She used her best judgment and I couldn’t have been anymore blessed with her caring PIper and Paislee. I was able to get updates about every other day due to our traveling plans. I let her know many times how grateful I was. Then I came home to a beautiful letter and she washed all the blankets from the dogs, towels, and the guest room bedding. She do not have to do that but I am grateful. Hillary went way above and beyond caring for our dogs. Thank you Hillary from the bottom rny heart!!!!!!!!

Cherokee was extremely communicative and easy to work with. One of my special needs dogs was having a bad night and refused to interact. Cherokee kept me aware of the situation and was even able to eventually coax Astrid out with what must have been extreme patience. My other dogs were tired out and we came home to a neat place with no accidents.

We could not be more thankful for Jessica. Our dog, Chloe, is quite a lot to put up with when she meets someone new, and Jessica handled all of her behavior like an absolute champion. Jessica is calm, collected, and you can tell really cares about your dog. She pushed through the difficult moments of getting to know Chloe and helped us so much with introduction ideas and how to help Chloe's stranger-danger behavior. Her and Chloe are now besties! Jessica was very professional, took care of our house wonderfully, kept us updated with texts and photos. We will absolutely be asking her back!

About: I've pet sat on and off for neighbors since I was a kid and grew up with dogs and cats in my own home. My childhood dog was the sweetest pitbull so I don't have any preconceived notions about any breed I love them all! I'm currently in real estate photography so I do shoots on and off during the day so if planned I can do stop ins and walks throughout the day. But for longer pet care I can do overnights on weekends. I'm very gentle with all animals but I also know how to handle difficult situations very well. It's very important for a pet owner to know how to deal with aggression/fights, sickness, running from the house, etc. and I've dealt with all of this and more.

He was great sitter for our dog and cat. The cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly loved all the extra attention, while our dog — who is usually shy around new people — warmed up almost immediately. We received regular updates, photos, and messages that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. They followed all feeding instructions, kept everything tidy, and treated our pets like family.
