Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.

Bishop is the perfect person to care for your four legged baby. Our boy had so much fun with him and kept looking around the house afterward hoping to find him around. That’s the best feeling when you have to leave your baby for a while.

Beth not only met my number one priority of attentive care for Oliver, but also went above and beyond other sitters I’ve gotten from Rover.com before. I felt so much peace of mind and am so grateful that I have a dog sitter that I can use for my next trip!

About: I love dogs so much. I've always been willing to dog sit for friends, family, and neighbors. I have dog sat for many different kinds of dogs (including small, medium, and large dogs) since high school and I love every single dog I meet! I also have a pug puppy named Marshmallow! I currently work a full-time job (8am-4pm) so I'm generally free in the evenings and on the weekends to walk and play with your pet! I love dogs and I understand the importance of potty breaks, walks, and play time. I care about your dog’s safety during walks, play time, and potty breaks! I also understand the importance of giving medications to dogs when they need it. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so it naturally fits into my routine. As a pet owner myself, I'm already planning my days around walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure my own pets are happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule and love being active, so adding walks, drop-in visits, or spending time with pets throughout the day is something I look forward to. My goal is always to provide dependable care while helping pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved until their family gets home. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and any special instructions before each visit. Whether we're going for a walk, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I'll always keep your pet's safety in mind and make sure they're supervised and cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and the home with the same respect I would want someone to show mine. I'll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and make sure your pet receives plenty of love, attention, exercise, and enrichment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet and feel confident that they were cared for as if they were part of my own family.

About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats for 25 years. I have owned dogs from goldens to Boston’s and helped take care of dogs of all sizes in between. We currently have two one year old cats, who turned me from tolerable to cats to adoring them in a short period of time. I work from home, except when traveling, which are typically 24-hr trips, during the week. I am happy to do drop-ins or stays depending on availability Your pets will be taken care of as if you were home. I will do everything I can to maintain the same routine from breakfast/lunch/dinner times, to walks and playtime.

Stephanie was a wonderful sitter - she was quick to reply to us, even for a last-minute request, and provided us with frequent text/photo updates just how we like it. We came home to a clean apartment and a happy pup. We’d love to have her take care of our dog again!

Miriam did a great job housesitting for our cat while we were away for a few weeks. She watered flowers and put the trash out as well as the car she gave to my kitty. She also contacted me when issues came up regarding the house, which I greatly appreciate appreciated.

Zach was such a blessing to us. He was so understanding and flexible with our needs and our old doggies and kitties love him. He was attentive and thorough with all our millions of instructions for taking care of our geriatric Great Danes with many health issues. He also took care of some things last minute for us that I had forgotten to do. It was such a relief to find someone we could trust to stay with our boys. Thank you Zach ❤️

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for them. I have trained my own dogs and previously worked as a pet sitter while I was in college. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll provide them with the same love, attention, and care I would give my own! I am currently enrolled in online classes, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of your pets. whatever their needs are. I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like my own.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’m dependable and organized, and I take commitments seriously. I’ll make sure your pet’s care is a priority and that they receive the time and attention they deserve. I know pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent, so I’ll take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

First time Rover user and I couldn’t be happier. Paige and Cindy tag teamed watching my dog while I worked out of town for a few nights. I received updates & photos regularly (which I loved) and they truly treated my girl like she was their own. I will 100% be requesting their services again. They stayed at my home and left it tidy and even left dog tv on for my girl until I arrived home. 100 stars. Thank you ladies!!

We are very happy with care that Stephen provided for our dog Pompey. Stephen is a very nice, polite and responsible young man. He asked all the right questions about our dog and our requirements. We would hire him again if we are in the area. He kept us updated about his stay, which we really appreciated.

We felt very comfortable leaving Abby in charge of our house and fur children. She sent us pictures and checked in every couple of days and was very quick to respond. She even helped us out by coming back the last day to let the pups out because our flight didn't get back until late. We would love to book her again for our next vacation.
