“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.”
About: I am a dog owner of two in which I take care of. My dogs are ages 10 and 3 and they are English springer spaniels. My 3 year old is epileptic and I administer medication to him daily. I have experience in dog care from previous position at a doggy daycare. I am a full time college student taking all remote classes so I am able to be with pets at all times. I typically only leave the house for 1-2 hours for errands. I want to make sure dogs are safe, happy, and healthy having everything they need on a daily basis. Taking them outside to play and run around keeping them occupied while making sure their safety and health needs are met.
“Eric stayed in my home while I was out for 8 days and my place was cleaner when I got home than when I left! He provided daily updates and pictures and was very fast to respond and take on a couple other small tasks I asked him to do (bring in mail, packages,etc)- my neighbors even commented on how nice he was. My pup is very happy and he did a great job training her up on heeling while walking, too! 1000000% recommend Eric and will employ him again for sure.”
“Tre has a calm demeanor & is very professional. He came over prior to house sitting to meet our dog, who took to him immediately. He followed our schedule, took him for long walks and when we came home our dog was well adjusted and comforted. Thank you, Tre for a job well done!”
“Sidney was amazing and so attentive to max and cookie. She was oving with them and kept us updated. Our babies fell in love with her instantly. She's officially a part of the family definitely our go to.”
“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 :)”

“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.”
