“Kimberly is as sweet as an angel. I needed a last minute dog sitter for overnight boarding and she responded immediately. Her availability was perfect for drop off and pickup and her dog was very sweet. She sent me pictures and videos of my baby and I could tell she was treated as her own child. Communication was perfect! I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone else who is looking for a dog sitter and you won’t be disappointed!”

“Katie is truly the best. Every time Munch goes to her house, he lights up with pure joy. He adores playing with her little one and running around with his doggy buddies—he settles in so quickly, it’s like he’s been part of their family forever. Katie gives me such peace of mind. She sends regular updates, little snapshots of Munch living his best life, and I can tell he feels completely at home. Honestly, her place has become Munch’s second home. I’m incredibly grateful that she watched Munch for 10 whole days over Thanksgiving. While I was enjoying the holiday, Munch was basically on his own dream vacation—pampered, happy, and surrounded by love. Katie, thank you for treating my boy like your own. You’re a gem. 💛”
“Cassie is one of the best dog sitters I've had to take care of my dogs. She truly cares and ensured my dogs were comfortable and adjusted on the first encounter. She readily communicated any needs and concerns so regarding my dogs to ensure I had peace of mind and felt at ease being overseas and far away from my dogs. I sincerely appreciate who She is and her passion for dogs. Will recommend her without any reservation.”

She sent pictures and updates throughout the weekend and put my father at ease that the dog was well cared for. We will definitely be using her again!”
“I highly recommend Summer. She was very attentive and kept me up-to-date on what’s going on with my dog Bowen. She also was very patient with me and my husband‘s travel plans as we kept having to change the dates/times. We definitely plan on using her in the future!!”
“Shelby did an excellent job with our pup! She sent plenty of photos to keep up-to-date and was very understanding when we were not able to pick our pup up at the scheduled time. Highly recommend her for future dog sits!”

Everything was smooth, my home was in great shape, and she even brought a package in for me which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Tracy is a fantastic dog sitter! I recently hired Tracy to look after my two dogs, Dixie and Kaya, while I was away, and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. From the very first communication, Tracy was professional, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for them. He arrived on time for every feeding, and play session and sent daily updates with photos and messages so I never had to worry. If you're looking for a reliable, caring sitter, I highly recommend Tracy. My dogs were in great hands, and I'll definitely be booking him again the next time I travel. Thanks, Tracy!”

About: From the age of 5 I learned the importance of taking good care of animals growing up on my parents full scale Cow/Calf farm. I’ve had many dogs and cats throughout my life, cared for family members animals, and friends when they have went out of town. Raising animals and loving on them is in my blood and it’s a fun thing to do for me. My grown up job I worked with most of the names in agriculture that you probably buy their products in the grocery store! I love dogs, cats, birds, you name it and would love to care for your sweet baby! In my neighborhood we have a large backyard with steps that lead down to it and nice fresh grass! We also have a park nearby that I’d love to walk your pup to! I work 7am-5pm Monday - Thursday in office but other than that I am free to watch your fur baby and can keep them during that time as I have a neighbor that can let them out for me. I think it’s important to treat anyone else’s things like I would my own. So I find it important to take good care of the clients home!

I’m very dependable whenever you need me to dog sit I will be there no matter what. I had 3 pit bulls one boy and 2 girls yes they were a handful but I loved them so much each one of them kept my day going from the time we went to sleep till the time we woke up with a kiss on my check it’s time to wake up and start our adventure for the day. Dogs are my best friend they have so much energy. I love dogs.

About: I love all animals and miss having one around, I recently had to put down my pup and am not quite ready to add another to our family. I've decided to join Rover to care for your pets so that I can enjoy the fun of having an animal around without the commitment! I know how hard it is to leave them behind while on a work trip or vacation (I used Rover a few times for my own pup). I've had dogs and an large assortment of other types of pets throughout my life. So I’m very comfortable taking care of a variety of pups and cats. I’m happy to give meds or toss around their favorite toy, just let me know what they need and I'll give them all the love :) They'll enjoy nice walks around the West End neighborhood, and can come along with me throughout the day with your approval. You don't have to worry while they're in my care, I will always have their best interest in mind! I work from home most dates, or my partner is home and if I leave for more than 2 hours your pup can join me for a car ride! I'd prefer to host a pup that is crate trained but it isn't needed. I am happy to walk them multiple times a day. We have big backyard but it is unfenced so they will be leashed while outside.
