cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.

Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!

About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I bring a personalized approach to every furry friend I care for. I specialize in working with all ages—from playful puppies needing training and structure to senior pets requiring extra patience and attention. With a keen understanding of animal behavior and years of experience, I ensure your pet feels loved, safe, and stress-free. Whether it’s administering medications, reinforcing positive training habits, or providing plenty of playtime and cuddles, I treat your pet as if they were my own! I currently work as a registered nurse so I am available 4 days a week all day long! I am an active person who enjoys walks and spending time outside in my free time. In my home or yours, I create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I stick to their regular routines, including feeding schedules, exercise, and potty breaks, to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. In my home, I provide plenty of space for play, cozy areas for rest, and constant supervision. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I go above and beyond to maintain a clean and familiar setting while respecting your space. From daily walks to cuddle sessions and updates with photos and messages, your pet will feel loved and cared for every step of the way!

Carolina was able to help us out after many said no to my Cane Corso, to be fair it was very last minute. She was so kind since it’s my first time using Rover, offered to help! I was relieved to meet her in person before we left town as well. I was very happy with her punctuality during our vacation, and I appreciated all the extra she did to help us even had to clean up some nervous pee on the first visit. We will absolutely use Carolina again in the future. Thank you so much!

We always ask for Kim when it comes to watching our dogs while we are gone. She was our first and is our only sitter for our dogs and couldn’t imagine anyone else doing the job. You need Kim to watch your dogs, you won’t regret it! Punctuality, reliability, attention to detail, and kindness are just a few of wonderful qualities you can expect when working with her. Thank you again Kim!
