“Morgan is wonderful. I felt more calm knowing my kitties were being looked over while I was out of town. Great communication and I always appreciated the daily check ins on my kitties. Will definitely have Morgan watch my kitties in the future!”
“Very thankful to David for visiting my cats on short notice when I had to be out of town unexpectedly. Great communication and detail to our needs. Nice to my boys! Highly recommend David!”
About: My family has 3 dogs and I adore them. I absolutely love animals and I believe every pet deserves love and attention. I am a broke college student saving for my future! I hope to use my love for animals to help me financially:) I am a college student so I have a pretty wild schedule. Im free most mornings and afternoons depending on my schedule for my other job. I try to be as flexible as I can! I have 3 dogs at home! I help take them outside 3 times a day considering I do not have a fence currently. I love taking them on walks. My two younger dogs are super energetic so I love playing with them to get their energy out! I love meeting new animals:)
“This booking was just for a two day drop in for my cats and I couldn’t be happier. Crystal was very communicative and flexible with her schedule. On top of all that, very kind, and I know my cats loved her. It was very good work, I’d trust her to watch my cats longer if needed. Would definitely recommend Crystal and hope I can book her again!”
“Kari was amazing and was flexible even during schedule changes. My cat was so happy to see her every day of her visit. If I need to ask for a sitter I would definitely ask her and will recommend her!”
“Danette took great care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days over 4th of July weekend! He was well fed and well loved, and I could tell he was very content despite my being away. I would definitely recommend her, and will look to her again if I need care for him in the future.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 5+ years with over 15 separate families I care for as needed. Im all about giving you peace of mind when you need to leave your pets no matter what! Any animals big or small, I can care for them all! I am a full time dog walker and pet sitter so my schedule is 100% free and open to taking care of your pet’s needs! I have 2 cats at my house that I care for daily and I have grown up owning many pets. I prefer to stay at your home with your pets to make their time away from you as comfortable as possible. I know pets can have anxiety especially when they are left with strangers for the first time so I’m careful to stay close to routine and not overstep in your pets home. I care about your pets care and treat every pet as our own.
“Celeste was an amazing cat sitter! Went above and beyond expectations and was in regular contact with me while I was away. When I returned home, my cats were obviously very well taken care of and my apartment looked just as I had left it! Cannot recommend Celeste enough. Incredibly appreciative of her willingness to watch my pets and keep me updated while on vacation.”
“This is the first time I used a dog sitter and Rover. Sheila was reliable and trustworthy. I went on vacation and needed my dog to be checked three times a day to be walked and fed. She took good care of my dog. She was kind and made sure her well being was taken care of. Her communication is good and she would give me updates as well. I highly recommend her.”
About: Hello! We lost our beloved 11-year-old chocolate lab in January. He had arthritis and an enlarged heart, which required medication three times a day. He was such a big part of our lives and is dearly missed. Recently, we welcomed the sweet pup you see in my profile picture. He’s working through some anxiety, and we’re teaming up with a trainer to help him feel more confident and secure. That’s a little bit about my story. I’d love to learn about your paw family and help in any way I can! I look forward to meeting all the pets and you of course! I will always have treats in hand if your pet would like some. I look forward to meeting you and learning how you would like me to care for your paw fam! We can definitely discuss all pets needs. Of course I’m picture happy - so expect some pictures throughout my visit.
“He did amazing with our pups. We have 4 of them and was worried about having someone watch them as this was our first rover experience. We were so happy with the results. We have cameras in our home so we could see everything and he was so good with our dogs. One of them even got sick and he cleaned it up with out hesitation. Thank you!”
