She was confident when first meeting my pet and was super quick to respond after my original sitter dropped out last minute. She's a great house-sitter. She left my place cleaner than she found it, and helped Butters gain new experiences!

You can tell Elizabeth really loves animals & we felt our doggies (an epileptic senior lab and the other a chihuahua puppy) were in trusted hands. She’s a great communicator & stayed in touch with photos & updates. We came back to a clean home & happy puppies! We will definitely be reaching out to Elizabeth again in the future!

This was our first pet sitting experience with Amy - she house sat our two pups for 8 days and did an amazing job. Detailed breakdown below: - Communication: We've booked multiple sitters through Rover during various family trips and have a good amount of experience being able to compare several pet sitters. When Amy came to the meet & greet she asked so many detailed questions and took copious notes to ensure she had everything covered. She had a very caring demeanor and our pups liked her right away. Prior to the scheduled pet sitting, we had multiple exchanges over messaging and she was always extremely prompt to respond & provided super thorough responses/details. She was great at communicating during our trip and kept us in the loop on everything going on. She also provided fantastic detailed wrap-up notes to let us know about anything she had observed and things for us to be aware of. We definitely appreciated her communication style as some pet sitters have not always been the most reliable when providing updates or responding to our questions. -During the Stay: We had an incident that occurred with one of our dogs during the booking where our pup ingested something toxic, started throwing up continuously along with shaking. Amy was extremely proactive in reaching out to our main vet multiple times, giving us a full breakdown of the situation with constant updates, reaching out to a second vet on our list for a second opinion, and then taking our dog to animal emergency hospital for treatment & overnight stay. During all this time she constantly kept communication going with us and the emergency clinic. It was a very stressful situation for us as we were out of the country & far away from our where we felt helpless while this was happening. However, Amy did everything in her power to make us feel so much more at ease with how diligently she handled the situation while providing constant monitoring, compassionate care, & attention to our dog during the situation as well as for the remainder of her house sitting that week. Besides, taking care of our pups, Amy also offered and took care of a few things for us including watering our plants, brining in packages, and also proactively doing a load of laundry to wash our towels. She also offered to wash the bedding on the guest bed but we let her know that we appreciated it and didn't want her to do additional extra work. Overall, this was one of the best experiences we have had with a pet sitter. We would definitely book Amy for pet sitting in the future and would highly recommend her! Thank you for taking such great care of our pups! We are grateful for all of your hard work, loving care, take-charge approach in handling an emergency situation, great transparent communication, and true attention to detail! We look forward to working with Amy again in the future. :)

Sasha has been great and a lifesaver. My pup is a lot happier having company when I have to work long days. I appreciate her willingness to follow pretty specific directions for my high needs dog, and she communicated with me throughout the night, whenever she had a question, or just to give updates about how things are going. I am looking forward to the next time my dog gets to see her new friend.

Kinzley has the biggest heart for animals (especially cats) than I have ever seen. Growing up she always had at least 2 cats at a time, (along with 2 dogs.) Being around animals brings her so much joy and it shows in the way she loves all the animals she encounters. She is very protective of her own animals and realizes many pets are considered family to their owners Because of this I would highly highly recommend Kinz to take care of and love your pets when you can’t be there to do it yourself.

About: Hi! I've been a dog dad for over 30 years and know how important your fur baby is to you. I have experience with all different breeds, ages and levels of health. My promise is to focus on your dog's happiness and comfort level during their entire stay; further, I will follow all nutrition/medication needs, potty/feeding/play time/walking schedules, and will truly ensure they're loved and cared for just like they were my own. I’d greatly appreciate the honor of welcoming them into my home. You will receive frequent updates as much as you like. I recently lost my dog of 17 years. Now live alone, and have a strict one-dog policy, so yours will receive the individualized 24/7 attention they deserve. I work full-time from home, same employer for 20 years. I am available all seven days/nights for whatever attention your dog needs or wants, and any potty schedule your dog is accustomed to. I require little to 0 notice for booking or cancellations, and able to travel when needed. My house is on a quiet culdesac with no through traffic. The back yard is secure and completely fenced, very enjoyable space for your dog to play in. Dogs are welcomed on all furniture. Home is smoke-free. I can also travel to the client's home for all necessary dog sitting/walking services.

Katie has been pet sitting for me for years! She loves my pets like I do so I don't worry when I take a vacation how my pets are doing. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats. They are all on special foods and the dogs cannot have some foods as it makes them sick. Katie is very attentive to that and they have never gotten sick when she has watched them. She exercises them, takes them to play ball, and just is an overall fantastic pet sitter!

Claire took excellent care of our one year old (newly adopted) puppy and elderly lab. She stayed in great communication and sent us lots of updates and photos. Our dogs can be a little standoffish sometimes but they seemed to love Claire! When we came home they were happy, relaxed and well cared for. We’ll certainly reach out to Claire in the future when we need a sitter!

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 11 for my neighbors during the summer. Later on, during high school, my family adopted a dog as we planned to train her to be a service dog for my sister. I helped care for Lexi and even taught her some tricks like shake in exchange for belly rubs. I could also help with Pet Transportation and Pet Walking. I'm currently enrolled in college but am free every weekend. I am also available Monday and Friday nights. However, I do not currently own a pet, but I have had to care of my sibling's pets since they were younger and often forgot to do it. I have cared for my sister's dog Lexi and my brother's hermit crabs, and will sometimes take care of my aunt's dogs. I am often good with pets after meeting them. I normally list down important information related to the pets. I also often ask for more detail on how I can accommodate the client's pet.
