Excellent caregiver and provided timely updates. We have two needy dogs of different sizes and she was great with both of them. Would work with again.

This was my second time using Rover. It had been almost a year prior. I completely lucked out the first time selecting Erin & Matt, my choice was based on their reviews, and meeting them. I knew this time, they would be my go to and first choice! I have 2 pups and a cat and I was able to leave them in Erin & Matts care with complete peace of mind...that is priceless! I received daily photos, and videos with updates that once again confirmed I made the right choice! This young couple are so professional, and responsible.... they even washed and changed the sheets 🙂 I am so thankful for the positive experience I've had w Rover, and even more thankful for Erin & Matt 🩷

Justine is outstanding! I never worry about our animals when we go out of town and leave her in charge. She handles our reactive dog with ease and understanding and we just really appreciate the care she takes of them!

De'Asia stayed with our 66 lb sweet but dog-reactive handful for several days. We told her she was welcome to walk him but didnt have to. She took him all over thre neighborhood successfully while keeping me well informed of how he was the whole time. That alone would have been above and beyond. My house was cleaner than I left it, possibly cleaner than I've seen it in months. She treated both my house and my dog like her own. I told my husband to make room because I was going to beg her to move in. Heck. We might go out of town just to give the dog another chance to stay with her. I've had a lot of rover sitters over the years and De'Asia is the best we've ever had. I strongly suggest booking her, as long as its not while Im also out of town.

Haley was easy to communicate with and reassured this nervous fur mama throughout my trip. She asked great questions and kept me informed about small snags so I could be reassured my pets were in great hands. One of my pups needs daily meds and she was undaunted by the task. Loved receiving photos and updates. Thanks, Haley!

Donna was absolutely great & outstanding. The first time sherry (dog) met her, she jumped up and kept wanting to hug Donna. Luna (cat) has a new cat cave bed and wasn't using it until Donna watched her. Now she uses it all the time. Donna is a pet whisperer. She is by far the "BEST". Not only did we find the perfect pet sitter, we also gained a "Great Friend"

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’m the kind of person who immediately gravitates toward the family pet at gatherings. I have hands-on experience caring for pets with a variety of needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, giving basic medications, snuggles, and cleaning up accidents so that you and your pet feel taken care of while you're away! I work a 40-hour, Monday through Friday (8-5) job that allows hour-long breaks to pop in during the day and take care of your pet. After-work, weekends, and bank holidays, I'm generally free to spend hours playing, snuggling, or just keeping your pet company. I'm happy to meet up beforehand to see if your pet and I are a good match. I'm happy to follow any instructions or preferences on their care to keep their routines and make everyone feel as safe as possible. I love sending notes and photo updates so you can feel connected!

Gussie took care of our dogs on such short notice, which was a relief after our other sitter cancelled due to a family emergency. Gussie communicated and sent photos daily, which I appreciated. One of our dogs is 17 and she met his senior needs. Our other dog usually takes a while to warm up to people, but it did not take her long to warm up to Gussie.

Experienced in dog walking, schedules, animal feedings and house sitting. A lil background about me ~ I am a retired elementary teacher switching careers into Counseling/Therapy, starting school this Fall 2026. My partner and I have a sweet labradoodle named Bliss and and a plump elderly cat named Elvira. We have rescued and cared for dogs and 4 plus cats together. I have a huge heart for elderly cats/dogs and those that are shy of personality. Let me know if your animal takes time to warm up! I am patient, compassionate and a natural caretaker at heart. Alternatively, I love the playful and outgoing ones too! I have experience in administering medications also, especially with Elderly or finicky cats as I have cared for many of my own. My schedule is open and flexible at this time. My lifestyle has allowed for me to maintain a pretty open schedule and take work as needed. I also work part time nannying positions, but this should not interfere with scheduling. I will be traveling to your location to care for your animals. Services include: cat sitting, dog sitting, drop ins, dog walking, house sitting and administering medications if needed. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

Cecilia has been sitting with my dogs twice now. She is very attentive to my fur kids. The fur kids are well taken care of and she lets me know how they are doing while we are away. Cecilia keeps my house clean and I am not worried about my furry ones or my house when they are in her care. She is loving and caring. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to take care of their pets. I enjoy reading her quotes from my fur babies.

I had a great experience with Erin & Matthew as my pet sitters. They took excellent care of both my home and Banco while I was away, which gave me real peace of mind. I especially appreciated the daily photo and video updates, it made it easy to see that Banco was happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Everything was handled responsibly and with attention to detail, and I came back to a home that was just as I left it. I’d absolutely trust Erin & Matthew again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and thoughtful pet sitters!
