Liza watched my cat over the holidays and she was fantastic! She was great with the instructions I left and gave Felix lots of love and playtime while I was gone. I could tell she loves cats even from the meet & greet and it can be rare to find a sitter who likes cats as much as dogs. I definitely recommend her to watch your pets!

Shane is terrific. He picks up our 11 week old poodle puppy and takes him to play with his two dogs. The pup seems delighted to see him. Highly recommended.

About: Life long dog owner with experience and reliability. I currently have an 8 year old medium-sized Goldendoodle named Simon. He’s my best bud and is always ready for a walk or car ride for any adventure. I’ve owned several types of dogs throughout my life such as labradors, Lhasa Apsos, basset hounds, and mix breeds. I believe daily exercise and interaction is essential for dogs and it brings me so much joy to interact with a dog. I have experience with all dog sizes and have trained several puppies over the years. I’m very comfortable with older dogs as well and can give them medication if required. I spend my late afternoons and evenings coaching soccer, which means I have a good amount of free time during the late mornings and early afternoons to walk your dog or just give them a visit. I will take the upmost care for your dog during walks and closely monitor their behavior and interactions with others to ensure they enjoy their exercise and time outside.

Julie always goes above and beyond for our furbabies. We’ve worked with her a lot on another app so I hand-picked her for a 4 day trip when I saw her on Rover. She was highly punctual and communicative and followed all instructions. I’ll be booking with her again!

About: At 16, I got my own dog and was in charge of her feeding, walking, and training (at home and at class). For 3 years, I lived with roommates who had 3 dogs (ages 6 months to 2 years) and I was trusted to watch them over weekends when my roommates were gone. Now that I’m living by myself, I have my very own 7 month old pup, so I am well versed in puppy personalities! I’m also doing leash training with my puppy, so I am getting a lot of practice with walking dogs and knowing what behaviors to look for. My parents were veterinarians, so I also have a lot of knowledge on pet behavior and health. I do work full time, but work remotely and can work in visits around my meetings. I also have the weekends free for pet care! I am a great listener, and a pet’s safety is always my top priority. If you have specific rules for your pet, I will adhere to them. I’m big on checking in the the owners, and sending pictures and updates!

I highly recommend Rebekah as she has a clear love for animals and will give your pet the best care!

Alexis did a fantastic job with our very shy and skittish rescue dog. She showed up on time. Took her time getting to know Bean, and took him for a long and relaxing walk. Very professional. Alexis was so good, that we’ve booked her for an overnight stay to care for our beloved new pet. 5 stars. Strongly recommend.

Rachel has been my go to cat sitter but this time she went above and beyond. I left for an extended international trip and upon her arrival she let me know that one of my cats had a very sickly eye that needed quick medical attention. Rachel rushed from work and took Moira to the vet as fast as she could, then continued to give her the medicine for the entirety of her visits. I cannot believe how amazingly kind and reliable she was with my cats. Truly she is the best. What a kind soul and so loving with my babies, Rachel is who you want to watch your kitties. Thank you Rachel, from the bottom of our hearts.
