“Crystal took great care of Ford. He loved going out to her place - so many pups to play with. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his time. Will use again :)”
“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we selected Bethany as our dog sitter for 5 days. Our dog Kona was very well taken care of, and Bethany sent us pictures of Kona along with daily texts on how she was doing. Thank you Bethany, we'll be back to have you watch Kona.”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful with Doja! She treated her like she was her own and really made her feel like part of the family. Doja is still young and VERY energetic, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving her, but Mariah was amazing with her. She had nothing but good things to say about Doja and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. It was obvious that Doja was happy, loved, and spoiled while she was there. I will definitely be booking with Mariah every time we need someone to watch Doja. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Super friendly, beautiful home on top of it all has frenchies. So very knowledgeable about this type of breed. Next vacation I will be using her. Was updated everyday about my Berkie and didn’t have to worry about my fur baby, thank you so much”
“I don’t think you could find a better sitter than Doyle! Macy was well-cared for, and had a great time there! She got to socialize with other dogs her size, went for walks in the parks, and received lots of attention! We recommend him highly!”
“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”
“Our dogs were very well taken care of, even with all their “quirks” (barking at everyone and being scared of the stairs). They would love to come back someday if you’ll have them.”
“Robert did an excellent job. We felt like our dog was well taken care of and loved. He sent a lengthy update and pictures each day. Plus he took our pup on longer walks than we even do! Robert was easy to work with and we’d book him again for sure.”
“Emily and Jim took great care of our dog on short notice. It is so nice to find a family that will take wonderful care of your pet. Highly recommend and will use again. Thank you!”
“Nina was amazing and very responsive for a last-minute need with a chaotic schedule. Not only did she agree to caring for my pet last minute for an extended period of time but I also ended up needing to extend a day due to flight issues. She kept me informed, sent me lots of photos, and most importantly, enjoyed Buddy as much as we do which makes me happy also. Highly recommend, and would use her again for sure !”
“Brittany was amazing! She took wonderful care of Violet, and updated us and sent pictures the entire time! Violet fit in very well with her human and animal pack, and didn’t seem to know we were gone until we were back picking her up ? we already have our next booking confirmed we had such a good experience!”
“Dara is really sweet person. She took care of Simba very well, Simba loved her dogs and he had a great play time when he was boarding at Dara’s. She was very active in sending daily updates about Simba. I would definitely use her services again.”

“I cannot say enough good things truly. My little Leo was not only taken care of but loved on the entire time I was gone. He’s a very big scaredy cat but Lorren was able to snuggle him by the second visit- crazy!!! I’m so thankful that I had no worry around my boy while I was out of town. I think he was slightly bummed to see me come through the door instead of Lorren! She will definitely be in our books for the future ☺️”
About: On my 13th birthday I got a puppy and I have been an avid dog lover since. I house-trained him, stayed up with him when he was crying, and taught him lots of tricks! Since then, I have always had some sort of animal in my house, whether it be a dog, cat, or hedgehog! Due to my known love for ALL critters, I have been a dependable pet sitter for many folks throughout the years. Whether it be friends, extended family, or even friends of a friend - I have been trusted to love and care for many animals. *IMPORTANT NOTE* Right now I am only booking house-sitting gigs where I can bring my senior chihuahua with me. When you send me a message, let me know what works for you so that we may set up a meet & greet! I primarily dogsit and have a supplemental part-time job.

I like to send daily updates with photos to not only quell your worries, but so that you can see your creature is doing well. I WILL be prioritizing jobs where I can bring my dog with me. I understand in some circumstances, it will not be a good fit for her to come with me, which is understandable.
About: I’ve cared for cats for many years and understand that every cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level.

I currently have cats of my own, so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for them while you’re away.
“Bekah and Mitchell both did great with our 1 y.o. cat who took to them super quickly! They took TONS of pictures each visit and wrote an entire paragraph report - his demeanor, how much he ate, litter box, play time, and anything we might want to know while on vacation. We appreciate how thorough they were and would definitely book them again!”
“Sierra was amazing. She kept me continuously informed about my animals, treated them like family, and got to know their quirks and unique personalities over the course of her several visits. I’d book her again without hesitation”

Seeing how happy he was when I got home only affirms that. Absolutely would recommend Morgan to anyone!”

“Usually we don't get to see our sitters in action; we're away, and that's why they're there. This time however I was recovering from surgery and needed Sierra to take care of walks etc. that I couldn't do. As always she was reliable, punctual, and flexible. Watching her relate to Jasper and Boo was a revelation though, she has a natural gift for bonding with them and a genuine love for them and what she does. Jasper's eleven, but he was acting more like two when she was playing with him, really put a spring in that old guy's step! Meant a lot to me to see the pets' spirits being lifted as well as mine, helped with my recovery as I wasn't feeling especially great. And always ready to take care of any other little thing that needed doing. I'm very grateful, and can recommend her wholeheartedly. Thank you Sierra!”

I do have a baby that comes with me. She is normally in a baby carrier strapped to me. I also do volunteer at my other kids school periodically throughout the school year. For cat clients: I will fit a visit into my day where it fits unless medication is to be given at a certain time. If morning and night visits are required then I will come as soon as I’m available. You still will get a morning and night visit. I ensure all doors are free and clear and secured before entering or leaving your home. I make sure nobody can get stuck anywhere within your home or get into anything they shouldn’t be getting into. I always refresh water during my visits.

“Crystal took great care of Ford. He loved going out to her place - so many pups to play with. She sent lots of pictures and updates throughout his time. Will use again :)”
“Ashlee was great! Our sweet Raven warmed right up to her and her family, and was treated like one of their own fur babies. Ashlee was wonderful when our trip got extended by almost a full day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos. Would love to let Raven stay again in the future!”
“Mariah was absolutely wonderful with Doja! She treated her like she was her own and really made her feel like part of the family. Doja is still young and VERY energetic, so I was honestly a little nervous about leaving her, but Mariah was amazing with her. She had nothing but good things to say about Doja and made me feel so comfortable knowing she was being well taken care of. It was obvious that Doja was happy, loved, and spoiled while she was there. I will definitely be booking with Mariah every time we need someone to watch Doja. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of her! 🐾❤️”
“Milo had the very best time this week! He was cared for so well and has been missing Maya very much since he came back home. We can't recommend Jessica and Robert enough and look forward to using their services again the next time we go out of town!”
“Our dogs were very well taken care of, even with all their “quirks” (barking at everyone and being scared of the stairs). They would love to come back someday if you’ll have them.”
“Robert did an excellent job. We felt like our dog was well taken care of and loved. He sent a lengthy update and pictures each day. Plus he took our pup on longer walks than we even do! Robert was easy to work with and we’d book him again for sure.”

Violet fit in very well with her human and animal pack, and didn’t seem to know we were gone until we were back picking her up ? we already have our next booking confirmed we had such a good experience!”
“Dara is really sweet person. She took care of Simba very well, Simba loved her dogs and he had a great play time when he was boarding at Dara’s. She was very active in sending daily updates about Simba. I would definitely use her services again.”

“Carol was awesome - super easy to work with, went above and beyond, and our dog always looked so happy and well cared for in the picture she shared. She was a total joy, and we immediately added her to the top of our rebook list!”
“Maria was AMAZING. She was super flexible and accommodating for our corgi and golden retriever. She sent photos and updates every day, and just loved them as her own. We felt so relieved and happy to leave them in her care. 100/10 recommend!”
“Frida took such good care of our Lucy! She updated us frequently with pictures! It was so great to know she was getting spoiled and cuddled while she stayed there. Would definitely recommend Frida for exceptional care and love for your pet while you are away!”
“Chelsea is a very kind person. She took great care of my puppy. She provided pictures daily. She did her best to make him comfortable. Charlie came back happy and very calm and content.I recommend her without hesitation.”
“What a wonderful first time experience! Stephanie and her family were wonderful with our 2 pups! It was so nice to have them in a home where they were cared for like we would care for them. It was great receiving pictures and/or videos of our pups while gone. We missed them so much and this always made it better! Thank you so much for everything! We’ll be coming back!”
“Jill and family were wonderful hosts for my dog over Christmas. I highly recommend them for your consideration. Communication was prompt and cheerful. My first experience on Rover was a 10/10.”
“Roger is a keeper, a gem! I told Roger Fudge has separation anxiety and can’t be left alone. Roger is very considerate and not just drop your dog and leave. When I dropped Fudge, he asked that I bring him to his backyard to keep him at ease and comfortable. Fudge sniffed around and marked his spot :). Then he showed us his home where Fudge will be staying for a week and introduced us to Cam gorgeous whippet. Roger kept us informed, walks him every day and never missed to send us pictures of Fudge’s day. When I had a conflict at work and had to asked last minute for Fudge could stay one more night, Roger was very accommodating. Roger gave Fudge a great home and attention, which puts as at ease that we know Fudge is in good hands in a good home. Thanks Roger for caring for Fudge.”
