“Gabbi did a wonderful job taking care of my cats! She made sure medication was given on time and made sure they always had everything they needed. I would definitely book Gabbi again.”
“Aiden was great with Maxwell. He was on time and took amazing care of the little man. He was able to do a meet and greet prior to his appointment which helped him warm up quite quick to Aiden. We will definitely be reaching out again for his help! Thanks again!”
“Beata was a fantastic sitter and house guest. She kept us updated on feeds, letting Danni out, and when she was stepping out for a bit. Beata left our house like she wasn't even there; we would 100% have her sit for us in the future!”
“Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.”
“Kathleen was great, she took great care of my pup Dizzy. She played with her outside and was able to spend time at my house to keep her comfortable while I was gone. Kathleen sent pictures of my pup and stayed in communication with me throughout my vacation. There was an issue with my fish tank leaking and Kathleen caught it and let me know as soon as she saw it. This allowed me to come home and fix the issue and then continue my vacation. I would not hesitate to recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a sitter or to re-book in the future. This booking was my first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier with the results. Thanks again Kathleen.”
“Jessica was fantastic! My dogs and cat really enjoyed having her here for a week to play with ♥️ Came home to the house just as we left it and she even washed the linens and towel from her stay! 100% recommended!!”
About: I'm currently training for a marathon so I love running in the park frequently. If your dog is super energetic, I would love to run with him/her to tire them out so that they will be calmer at home. Back when I had my dog Archie, I would run with him everyday so that he would sleep well at night. I've also had experience with training puppies such as potty training and simple commands. I'm patient when it comes to training. I'm currently a WFH software engineer so I have plenty of time to make sure your dog gets all the attention he/she needs! I am currently a WFH software engineer so I can take care of your dog basically anytime provided a day or two notice in advance. I have a big backyard which would allow your dog plenty of space to run around. I also do have a couple of younger cousins who love dogs too and they are willing to also help make sure your dog gets all the attention that he/she needs.
“Reid agreed last minute to watch my dog on Thanksgiving, for which I was so grateful! Our dog enjoyed his day with Reid and was completely tuckered out afterwards. Thanks again Reid!”
“All went as planned. In fact Jena went above the scope of the assignment and kept us updated . Very polite, Knowledgeable, and willing to assist in the care of our pet , plus giving us peace of mind”
“Courtney was an amazing help with sitting Maxwell today. She was punctual, early in fact ;), followed all requests and most of all, made sure Maxwell was in good company. Communication was great and I felt confident that my little man would be in great care with her! We will be looking to have Courtney back in the future for sure. Thanks!”
About: From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to this area- to marry my awesome husband. Currently I’m working on a book for future nannies and thus can choose when I write. So the dogs get my full attention and are always number 1 when I’m with them. We live in an 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch! Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. I also write various articles about childcare/nannying so this can be done whenever and not take away from my attention to your furry friend. Our home has no place that’s off limits to your pets. If they want to snuggle on our bed or relax on our couch or even be in our guest room - they are more than welcome wherever they are most comfortable. We even have a massive bean bag most animals love thinking it’s a giant dog bed 😂.
“Rebecca did an excellent job staying at our home with Pippin! She was really prepared with questions to help the weekend good smoothly and to understand his needs. She was very responsive to messages and sent detailed updates and pics. Our pup had a great time!”
“If you are looking for a reliable sitter for your babies who will treat them as if they’re your own, hire Vanessa! She was perfect. She took our babies for walks and pup cups, sent plenty of pics and updates, asked questions if she wasn’t sure about things and just pretty much went the extra mile in every aspect. We will definitely be using her from here on out every time we go out of town and need someone for our 2 dogs. This was our first time having someone from the Rover app house sit and we didn’t know what to think/expect, but Vanessa put our minds at ease as she was very trustworthy- like a family friend that came to stay, just a very sweet soul! We even came home to our pups being bathed and smelling good :)”
About: I’m a dog mom to a crazy German Shepherd and a cute fat Corgi. They are complete opposites but balance each other out perfectly. I adore dogs and my goal is to provide elite, caring, and fun services for your fur baby. I work a rotating shift. My shift varies every other week. Reach out to me and I can let you know if I’m available for the day! I have a fenced backyard and a vehicle. If you feel more comfortable at your home, I’m totally fine with that. I’m very flexible and will accommodate whatever you need
“We were nervous about leaving our senior cat with multiple health issues with anyone, but after reading Ciara’s profile and meeting her with Walter, we left him and our home in her care. She handled everything exactly as we hoped, followed instructions exactly, and kept us informed every day. She stayed until we returned, and the house was perfect. Walter was content, calm and happy.”
About: I've been taking care of various types of animals for over 7 years. I've been the primary caretaker for a Labrador as well. I'm great at walking, feeding, bathing and just being in tune to the pet's needs. I currently work remotely so I am able to watch pets during the day and take them on 1-2 walks during the day and as many as necessary after 5pm. I will make sure to follow the client's instructions exactly and will make sure to provide loads of care, attention and love towards your pet :)
