About: I have had Pers my whole life, and I am a very well - versed person when it comes to dogs. I constantly watch people’s dogs / walk them when needed. Especially during summertimes. I am good with taking care of older dogs and walking at their pace. I am currently home from school for the summertime, I am taking classes in the meantime but I love to spend time with nature. Dogsitting fits into my schedule because I like to get up early and take care of my priorities and I count animals as one of them I value pets the same way, if not more, to other people. I see pets as another me, and I wouldn’t want anything to happen to them because i set such a high value for them. I think pets are one of the best things in our lives, and I wouldn’t want anything to harm that.

Great experience with Allegra. She took excellent care of my pups and kept the house spotless. The dogs were in such a good mood when I returned, which tells me everything I need to know. Will definitely book again!

Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.

Becca was wonderful and took care of everything. She knew exactly how to put my nervous little chihuahua at ease. By the end of the week she was his best friend. She sent me pictures and updates which I really appreciated. I highly recommend her.

About: Growing up, I had a couple dogs. Along with family and friends always having dogs around, I have always taken care of dogs. I love to walk them, bathe them, and play! I would take care of your fur baby like my own! I have a flexible schedule and work independently so I have plenty of flexibility for you and your baby!❤️ What works for your schedule will most likely work for mine. I look forward to spend time with and take care of your baby and I will enjoy every second! You can trust me with your pet like it’s my own! I am an honest human being with a heart full of love and compassion. I would love to take your fur baby to the park to play and have fun, as well as a jog/walk of course, and I wouldn’t mind giving your baby a bath if need be! Perhaps a trip to the pet store to spoil?! Don’t worry cats will love me too! I know just the spot they love scratched and will offer plenty of playtime.

We would re-book Jillina without hesitation. She is a high integrity, super responsible pet sitter who will make it a priority to comfort and care for your pets. She truly bonded with our felines (2 mature Siberian cats). Her attention to our details, which we clearly outlined, were kept without compromise. We graced her with a lot of latitude in our home which she treated with great respect and did not in any way take advantage of. Our cats will miss her! Jillian personifies the ideal pet sitter.

Maya did an outstanding job for us. She accepted a last minute request, which included a 6-day stay at our home while we were out of town on vacation. She connected very well with our 72 pound medium Bernedoodle, giving him lots of attention and care. Everything went smoothly and she remained focused and supportive to the end, even when our return flight was delayed by 3 hours. Thanks again Maya.

My 15 month old husky/German shepherd mix got along well with Aury. Aury took her for a couple of walks and kept her company while I was gone...my dog has severe separation anxiety but Aury handled her well. Would use her service again.

Hope house sat and watched my dog while I was out of town for 6 nights. She was punctual, quick to respond, and sent daily updates (and also she was very friendly). Hope left my house as clean as when she arrived, and my dog was very happy with all of the attention and exercise she received. I would recommend Hope for house sitting in the future and will be happy to have her watch Kaya again!

Ever since bringing home our high-energy working dog, we have really limited traveling, as kennels and day cares do not work for us. McKenzie is truly amazing! This is the first vacation where we were completely relaxed and felt at ease about leaving both of our dogs. McKenzie did send daily updates, was responsive, sent pictures/videos and handled medications. She was able to handle both my high energy 100 lb dog and my senior dog’s needs, as well. I am so very grateful for this experience and for being able to completely enjoy a trip for the first time in 3 years.

About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and have often been one of their primary caretakers. I have cared for dogs from puppy ages all the way to age 19! I have a flexible schedule and am available on both weekdays and weekends. As a college student home for the summer, I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day! I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable. I’m very patient, attentive, and reliable, and I will always follow your pet’s routine and any special instructions carefully.

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs almost my whole life! My personal pet care background is incredibly diverse. I currently manage a lively three-cat household with my sweet cuddle bug Lillie, and my sister’s rambunctious and silly littermate brothers, Scout and Sawyer. I am also the proud owner of a childhood calico named Luna, and a Shepherd/golden mix, Osa. Because Osa is a high-energy, reactive dog, I learned a lot from her and personally worked on training her. Additionally, I have experience with senior pets. I lovingly cared for my late childhood dog, Sisi, which included managing her daily medications. I have also administered short-term medications to cats. I specialize exclusively in house sitting at your home, drop-in visits, and neighborhood dog walks. I look forward to giving your pets the absolute best care! :) My schedule is very flexible this summer, which makes it easy to stick to whatever daily routine your pets are used to. Whether they need a mid-day drop-in visit, a walk, or someone to stay overnight to keep them company, I can easily accommodate their regular timing. Since I will be caring for your pets in your home, my main priority is keeping their environment safe and consistent. I am highly attentive to details like securing doors and gates, keeping dogs properly leashed during walks, and following your specific household instructions. I always send regular photo updates and check-ins so you have full peace of mind while you are away.

Amanda is the most responsible and caring dog sitter I’ve ever met. Our family had a trip planned, and initially we left our dog at PetSmart. Unfortunately, due to anxiety, our dog injured her paw there. PetSmart was concerned that her stress might lead to further self-harm, so they asked us to pick her up. Since we couldn’t cancel our trip last minute, we reached out to Amanda for help. She went above and beyond in every way. Amanda came to our home multiple times a day to keep our dog company. Because of the paw injury, extra care was needed, and Amanda handled it all perfectly—she cleaned and applied medication to the wound every day, took our dog on gentle, easy walks, and even gave her a thoughtful bath on the last night. When we returned, we were touched to find a carefully prepared gift along with new toys and supplies for our dog. Amanda truly treats every dog like a member of her own family. I can’t recommend her highly enough—she is absolutely wonderful, and we are so grateful to have found her.

This was our first time using Rover and we could not have been more lucky to find Hailey! Hailey is very responsive, provided clear communication, and many awesome updates, including pictures and videos, while we were out of town. Our dog is 13 with many health issues so we are very hesitant to leave him with anyone other than family, but as soon as we met Hailey there was an immediate sense of comfort and relief knowing he was going to be in great hands in the comfort of his own home. We cannot say enough positive things about our experience and we will definitely be using Hailey's services in the future!

Brandon was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a natural connection with dogs—Luna and Rosie were completely at ease with him in a way we rarely see with others. It honestly felt like having a true dog whisperer in our home. He was punctual, professional, and carried himself with a calm confidence that made the entire experience effortless. Knowing how our dogs typically react to new people, this level of comfort and trust meant everything to us. We would absolutely book Brandon again without hesitation, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, intuitive, and genuinely gifted with animals.

This is my third time having Krystal take care of my senior kitty who has some medical issues and needs extra loving care. As always, Krystal gave my kitty exceptional care, going above and beyond! My kitty loves Krystal! And she cleaned my house, it was cleaner than I left it! Krystal, I can’t say thank you enough, especially stepping in last minute!!
