Katy is so wonderful that I have to leave a second review. We’ve been going through a big transition and Katy continues to meet each of my boys where they are at. Her hyper awareness, consideration, and kindness allow me to travel and not stress about any of the boys.

Robert housesat with our 2 dogs and was fantastic with the pups and as a houseguest. He worked so well with our pups and their personalities. Robert's communication is very helpful and reassuring. I was "at peace" during our entire trip away because he sent regular updates and stayed in touch during our travel days. Robert is very professional, communicative, and so good with animals. You can tell he really does this for the joy he gets taking care of your pets. You will not be sorry if you book Robert!

Ray did a great job with both our dogs, but especially with our older thunder-phobic dog during a week in which many storms were predicted and a few happened. Her willingness to communicate, and her good questions made her a great choice for our dogs. And our dogs were clearly happy, comfortable and well-cared for in our absence. We would definitely book her again.

Nate took my last minute request and I couldn’t have been happier. He was on time ( early even ) and took my Darcey to the park while I was away and took pictures and updated me. I really appreciated his time and will be using him in the future. Highly recommend if you need someone who handles behavior issues well. My Darcey isn’t the nicest when first meeting a stranger but this didn’t seem to bother Nate. Thank you again so much !!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brenda was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was great from start to finish, and she sent us pictures of our pups while we were away, which we really appreciated since we missed them so much. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were happy and in good hands. Honestly, they weren’t even overly excited to see us when we got home — which tells me they were very well cared for and totally comfortable with Brenda! Our dogs are pretty rambunctious and full of energy, so I know she had her hands full, and we’re so grateful for the patience and care she showed them. We would 100% book with Brenda again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter!

About: I’ve been surrounded by and taken care of animals since I was a toddler. I grew up with all sorts of animals in the home from Guinea pigs and bunnies to dogs and birds! I’ve pet sat on occasion including dogs and cats as well as chickens and horses! I’m currently self employed and am taking on work through Rover to support my business as I’ve experienced a transition with work over the past few months. This makes me very flexible during the week and weekends. I want to provide an experience that makes you feel comfortable and your pet cared for when you aren’t able to be there. Creating an environment that reflects the care that you give your pets is my priority as a pet owner myself.

We had an amazing experience with Jesse! She took wonderful care of both our dog and our cat while we were away for two weeks. She was incredibly attentive, super kind with our pets, and clearly loved spending time with them. She even surprised our dog with some plush toys before she left, which meant so much to us. When we came back, both of our pets were completely relaxed and happy, which says everything about the level of care they received. On top of pet care, she was a huge help with things around the house when they came up and shared really helpful advice for managing our dog’s allergies. We truly felt supported the entire time we were away. We couldn’t be happier with her care and will absolutely be booking her again for our next trip. Highly recommend.

About: I have a very high level of knowledge and skills of how to take care of cats of any age and ability and enjoy spending time with all kinds of cats. I have much less experience with and knowledge of dogs but I'm very familiar with the basics of feeding and walking. Friends have described me as a cat whisperer and I like to think of myself as such. Not that I might not have challenges, but I know how to meet and vibe and care for them. I have completely open availability for the next month or so as I am unemployed living with friends and trying to establish myself here. I typically like doing care between the late morning and early evening, but anything can be talked about and arranged. I enjoy spending the day alongside animals, being attentive to their needs by taking them out for long walks, providing healthy snacks and cuddles through the day, and offering a calm energy to relax energetic or otherwise anxious pets. I am confident in caring for pets across a range of personalities, and am happy both giving pets lots of attention and energy and coexisting with more introverted pets.

Wow! Annika was an amazing and attentive pet sitter to our two very active dogs! She had no issues with giving our older dog his seizure medication and was keen on following our recommended guidelines for walking and training that we’ve been working on. Our dogs were well taken care of. We got many picture updates of our pups which also made us feel good! We will definitely be booking Annika next time we are out of town!

Alaina is a fantastic dog sitter! Our two pups are always so excited to see her and enthusiastically greet her at the door every time she arrives. She spends quality time playing with them in the yard and clearly cares about their happiness and well-being. Alaina is also an excellent communicator, keeping us informed about timing and any needed adjustments while providing thoughtful options when plans need to change. We appreciate her reliability, flexibility, and the genuine care she shows our dogs. Highly recommend!

Sophie is the Best! She was able to come on short notice to dog-sit while we were out for a long evening. She was very responsive to our texts with directions and timing. Our spirited 15 month old doodle immediately connected with her. Although we didn't expect her to, Sophie took him out for a walk to work off some of his energy. Afterward, she sent us a photo of him relaxed and content. Five stars for Sophie!

We've never had anyone watch our cats except for family. I was extremely nervous, but after reading Abigail's profile, and watching her interact with our cats at the initial meeting, I knew I had found the right person! Abigail took lots of notes and asked tons of questions to make sure she had all the information to not only cat sit, but stay in our house for 12 days. Both cats immediately took to her like they were long lost besties. We were out of the country, but I received multiple photo's and video's every day so we never felt like we were so far away. The people we were traveling with were impressed with the number of pictures, updates and video's we received. Somehow she even got the picky eater cats to eat more than they do during a normal day. If I ever need someone to care for our pets in the future, Abigail will be the first person I look for!

We were delighted with all of our experiences with Manu and how she cared for our dog, Bella for four days. Manu doesn’t just love dogs! She is knowledgeable about dog health, behavior and training as well as being very perceptive about a dog’s needs. Even before Manu started, she made sure that she had all the information she needed. Then when she had a question she spoke with our contact person. Then while we were away, she sent us s wonderful stream of photos of her playing with, walking and exploring with Bella. Bella was clearly very happy about being with Manu when we picked Bella up. We all feel confident that we left Bella in good hands and hope to work with her again.
