Erika did an amazing job with our two pups and cat! We took a long 4 day weekend and were completely at ease the entire time! We came back to our pups and cat in great shape(I noticed she took care of their paw pads, thank you so much!) and totally loved on! I highly recommend you book Erika for your pet sitting needs, we definitely will!

This was Sarah’s first stay with Bunny and she did great, kept us informed, kept the house tidy and when we returned, Bunny acted like we had never left, she obviously received her usual amount of spoiling. So glad we can count on Sarah for our longer trip next month!

Amanda is an absolute gem! She took such great care of our girls, Piper and Roux. They got walks, cuddles, time outside to play, and we got photos and videos throughout the time we were away. Amanda made sure to connect with us on prep beforehand, as well as any questions while we were away. When we got home, both pups were excited to see us, but had clearly enjoyed their long weekend with Amanda! Outside of just the pet sitting, Amanda took great care of our house. We came home to find everything in its place and her used towels and linens were even stacked in the laundry room to mistake it easier for us to We would absolutely use Amanda again - she is fabulous!

Michaela was great with our gentle giants. They typically are timid and bark at new people for a while after entering the home, but when she came in, they took so quickly to her and my most fearful and timid dog did not bark at her nonstop. He actually went up to her quicker than any other dog sitter previously. Michaela sent updates throughout the visit and kept me up to date. The dogs really seemed to like her which was such a blessing. Having 3 large dogs can be intimidating, but Michaela was at ease and did a wonderful job. I definitely would recommend her and will use her again in the future.

Angelina is very kind and advised me every time the dogs were given their meds which is my major concern. Left the house very clean and even washed the dog food bowls. I was told her she could leave at 6pm and we would be home at 10pm but she didn’t want to leave the dog along so she left around 9pm so they would not be left alone. I will rebook her

Daisy was a fantastic house and pup sitter. She was super communicative, professional, and was so great with my rambunctious Australian Shepherd. On top all the great care for my pup, she left my house in great shape- clean, tidy. Will definitely hire again.

Donatella is AMAZING! It was my first time using Rover and I chose her because of the great reviews from her clients and thought I'd take a chance on her. Turns out, it was a great decision. I have a senior dog that has severe separation anxiety and cannot be left alone. Donatella was so kind and patient with my baby. She even sent me updates several times throughout the day. I highly recommend her for all services in her expertise.

Our eperience with Jayna couldn't have been better! Jayna did way more than what was expected. Our baby girl (Lani) was spoiled and well taken care of. Jayna took Lani on her daily walks, snuggled her with blankets at night, sent photo updates of our pup twice a day, and left our home honestly, in better conditions than when we left it! Jayna went above an beyond by bringing in our mail, being on a look out for incoming packages, keeping our backyard grass clean, and leaving my kitchen counters spotless. Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thanks so much!

About: I believe dogs can tell when you truly care about them. I will give your dog plenty of love and attention, whether that be walks, time in the yard, time on the couch, or belly rubs. I take lots of pictures to let the owner know that their pup is having a good time in my care. I also am diligent to follow any care instructions provided to me and to create a safe and fun environment for all the pets entrusted to me. I have owned at least one dog for over 20 years, starting with the family pet as a young girl. I have always taken on the main responsibilities of caring for the family dog and now have two of my own, Nacho and Toby. My husband is a nurse and can administer medication as well. I love all breeds and am open to caring for any size pet. My husband and I have used Rover on multiple occasions for our own pets when we went out of town and have always had good experiences. I am privileged to have a yard and a schedule that allows me to take excellent care of other people's dogs as well. I am currently staying home with my kiddos and will have plenty of time to care for your fur baby as well! Our “grandpa golden” golden retriever is our only fur baby right now, and is a patient and sweet companion for any dog! We have a fenced in yard and a sweet golden retriever to keep your fur baby company and would welcome your dog into our home! We can crate your dog upon request, but usually expect your pet to enjoy our home and yard alongside our family. We will treat your baby as one of our own!

About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and making them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I'm active, patient, and love going on walks, playing, or just keeping them company. I'll care for your dog the same way I would my own. Pet care is already part of my everyday life because of my own dog, Taco. He's super active, so walks and park trips are already part of my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy being around dogs, so dog walking and drop in visits fit naturally into my schedule. I'm available weekday afternoons and anytime on weekends. I always want dogs to feel safe and comfortable around me. On walks, I pay attention to their pace, surroundings, and anything that could stress them out. In a client's home, I follow their routine and make sure their dog feels relaxed and cared for. I treat my dog like they're my own ❤️

About: I’ve had rescue dogs all of my life and have been the go to sitter for friends and family for many years. I am patient, dependable, and flexible. I’ve had experience with all different dog breeds and a mix of personalities. My services include daily dog walks, drop-in visits, extended pet-sitting sessions, feeding, fresh water replenishment , medication administration (if needed), and plenty of playtime and affection. Whether your pet enjoys long, energetic walks, short potty breaks, or relaxed indoor companionship, I adjust each visit to match their individual needs and personality. I also offer photo updates, behavior notes, and communication throughout the day, so you always know how your pet is doing. I am available almost all of the time. I am a college student at Arizona State but my class schedule is very flexible. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animals, I’d love to be part of your pet’s routine. I am excited to take care of your dogs! I am a full time college student with flexible hours and open weekends. I am available to pet sit and or dog walk in your own home! Safety is my number one priority. Caring for your pet means they are always secure and not in danger. I also prioritize comfort for your pet. I love playing and engaging with your pet to the degree they feel comfortable.

Jared was amazing! I felt very safe leaving my sick boxer with him. Jack has cancer and I needed someone to keep him calm and give him lots of love. He was very flexible with his time, checked on jacks bandages for us and even sent some cute pics. He gave both my dogs lots of love.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets through personal and family settings, including feeding, walking, basic grooming, playtime, and providing companionship. I am attentive, patient, and mindful of each pet’s unique needs and routines. I understand the importance of safety, consistency, and trust when caring for animals. What sets me apart is my empathy, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to observe behavior, respond calmly to challenges, and ensure pets feel comfortable and cared for. I am highly adaptable, organized, and committed to following instructions closely while maintaining clear communication with pet owners. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would give my own. I feel I can fit pet care into my weekly/daily routine because I’m free most of the time and Ive been looking for something productive too do that I’d actually enjoy I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and respect, whether they are in my home or a client’s home. I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment by following routines, paying close attention to each pet’s needs, and ensuring they feel secure and cared for. I handle pets gently, maintain cleanliness, and prioritize their well-being, happiness, and safety at all times.

100% recommend Alexzandria!! From the time I started messaging her she asked all the right questions about my dogs. She was very flexible and communicated well! I got daily updates without prompt! I was worried about finding someone for 2 dogs, especially one being a puppy but this worked out perfectly!

About: I grew up on a rescue farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and I’ve truly never met one I didn’t adore. I’ll treat your dog like one of my own! I have experience fostering and dog-sitting pups of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’m also comfortable working with dogs who have medical needs or unique personalities, whether they’re high-energy, shy, reactive, or a little anxious in new settings. I am a dog person to my core and have loved them all! I work from home Monday - Friday, so my situation is ideal for boarding and daycare as well as shorter overnights. I enjoy being outdoors as much as I enjoy a night in, so I can be flexible depending on each dog's needs. I live in a walkable neighborhood where I only need to be away from home for short periods of time to go grocery shopping or to hit the gym. I have always had a dog (though I am currently dog-free, unfortunately), so I am naturally attuned to their schedules and needs. I live in a very dog-friendly complex in a very residential neighborhood. I have lots of experience with controlled walks, crate training, and general dog safety, including emergency care and safe/proper introductions with other dog-friendly dogs. I live alone in a very calm, peaceful environment, and am conscientious of respecting a dog's space and know the importance of maintaining a semi-normal schedule while they're in a new/unfamiliar environment.
