First time using Rover and will definitely be booking with Angel again! He provided detailed Rover Cards with many photos at each visit. Communication was great and I knew my two cats were in great hands.

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!

Paul was clutch in every sense of the word. 🫶 We were in a bit of a scramble after our original sitter fell through last-minute, and Paul came through like a legend. We had a wedding to attend and needed someone to check in on our fur kids (Nala, Zeus, Tank, and Milo) — and he totally nailed it. From the jump, he was super chill, responsive, and just on it. Asked all the right questions, followed instructions to a T, and kept us updated with messages that made us feel way less guilty for stepping away from our lovable little velvet hippos for the day. 😅 Our kids are generally friendly, but let’s be real — a pack of bullies charging at you with full gremlin energy can be a lot. Paul didn’t even flinch. Handled it like an absolute pro, and had them vibing with him almost instantly. We could tell they were in great hands — cared for, played with, and probably a little spoiled (as they should be). Honestly, Paul is the kind of sitter that makes you feel like you hit the Rover jackpot.✨Reliable, good vibes, and clearly great with animals. 1000% would book again. Thank you, Paul, for stepping up and showing our kids mad love. You’re officially part of our bully gang now. 🐾💯

Alexa and Connor were good communicators and were willing to come out to do a meet and greet before confirming booking. Overall I had a good experience and would rebook with them again! Like they said you get two for one in their pricing. My cats warmed up to them and were taken well care of while I was on travel.

About: I've spent my entire life with large dogs, and I have extensive experience understanding their behaviors and body language. While I love small dogs too, my expertise lies primarily with larger breeds. I've worked in both shelters and clinics for several years and have had the privilege of assisting a few mama dogs in delivering healthy litters. Experienced with puppies, seniors, medication administration, and dogs requiring extra patience and individualized care. Your dog will have a great time while you're away! (Preferably dogs that are friendly with cats.) I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care throughout the day to ensure your beloved pets are cared for safely and comfortably while you’re away. I can let your dog out for potty breaks in the yard and on walks as needed. I also have a kennel/crate available if they prefer a quiet space to relax. My home is spacious, providing plenty of room to play indoors and a full yard to play in. For pets that are comfortable around cats, they’ll have the opportunity to interact with my friendly resident cats.

We booked at the very last minute due to a late cancellation of our previous sitter, and Brianna was extremely accommodating, and came out for a meet and greet. Our girls immediately took to her, and they were all very well and happy when we got home. I really appreciated the updates about their care as it was going on, and I will ABSOLUTELY hire Brianna again!

Haley did such a good job with our 3 dogs! We have large breed dogs and are living in a unique situation with a home and yard that need major renovations so it’s more difficult to make sure our pets needs are met but we really felt like they were well taken care of while we were gone! She had great communication, followed instructions well, and even left xmas cookies for the dogs and treats for us humans as well! We’ll definitely be looking to hire her again in the future.

Alyssa was fantastic! My dogs are slow to welcome new people into their lives, but they had huge smiles on their faces when we received photos of their check ins. Made my vacation super relaxing knowing my babies were so well taken care of while I was away. Will definitely be trying to steal Alyssa's availability next time I go out of town.

Kayden is so sweet and kind - she sent great pics and was communicative about arrival and length of visit.
