Camryn was great. She was very communicative and we could tell she cared nicely for our two boys. She even noticed one of our boys had some itchy ears and offered to clean them out. Hopefully she is available next time we have to go out of town.

First time house sitting for our Bernedoodle and she was well handled by Joey. He took well care of her as usual, played, walked her and gave her medicine. 👍

Jennifer was awesome! She took excellent care of our two dogs, Kona and Milo, while we were out of town. She was very friendly and sent frequent updates letting us know how the dogs were doing. We highly recommend her!

Alex was great with the dogs and was responsive to our messages. Was very impressed that he came over for a meet and greet and was taking notes and asking questions. Left the home so clean we couldn't even tell someone had been there. Highly recommend

Kaleigh is amazing! This was the first time leaving my pup and Kaleigh made me feel at ease with consistent communication and updates. She took the time to learn my dog’s personality and routine so she could be as comfortable as possible. I’d definitely recommend Kaleigh!

We hired Allyson to house sit and watch our 2 labs for 11 days. This was our first time using Rover so we were a little nervous. But Allyson did a wonderful job watching over our house and our fur babies! She sent us daily pictures and updates throughout our time away and definitely put our minds at ease!

Kate took care of our husky-lab boy for a week while we were on our honeymoon. She did an absolutely fantastic job, sending us pictures and updates all throughout the trip, and being very respectful of his quirks. She left the house in spotless condition, even going above and beyond to ensure the house was perfect when we got home. Will definitely be reaching out for any future trips! 🖤🐶🐾

About: I have lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience fully taking care of both including administering various types of medicine including inhalers, pills, and creams. I work full time during the day and am available at nights. I have some flexibility during the days to leave and check on pets. I work some weekends but would be available nights. I ensure pets are safe and comfortable in their environment, no matter where they are. I make sure the home is safe and/or the pets stay in a safe space. I also follow any and all instructions for health and physical safety.

Bee (Brittney) is an amazing pet sitter! It’s so nice to be able to go out of town without worrying one bit about your dog. She loves Henry and he feels the same about her. Bee sends me cute pictures and updates throughout the day which I very much appreciate. My home was clean and tidy when I walked in the door and she even put clean sheets on my bed! She’s the best!

About: I am a huge animal lover with lots of pet care experience! I grew up with pets and have had a few of my own in my adulthood. I adopted my current dog, Ruth, at approximately 8 years old. She is now about 13 years old! I am familiar with pet medication administration and senior pet care. I look forward to meeting your fur babies! I am a lawyer with my own business, so I do not work a traditional 9 to 5 and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to provide pet care during the week and on the weekends! I am responsible and detail-oriented. Since I have these traits, I will always pay strict attention to your instructions for your pet and be respectful of your home.

Sarah was amazing. She came and met our pup beforehand and our dog loved her instantly. She asked questions which made me feel more comfortable that she would be prepared. She sent me lots of pics and videos of our dog while we were away. Will definitely book her for future trips.

I am currently working two part-time jobs and I am in school, but I only work weekends and 440 7:55 AM on Tuesday and Thursdays and only go to school 9 to 4 a couple times a week so I will have tons of time with your fur babies!

I’m good at following instructions and sending tons of pictures because I grew up helping my mom with her dog business!

As a person who does not trust leaving anyone alone in our house we were very impressed with Virginia she was polite easy to talk to and was very good with our Shih Tzu (Ladybug). After spending some time together we felt very comfortable with her. Virginia had to work her normal job two out of the four days but made sure that she made extra time during her brakes and lunch to come to the house and play with our dog. Each day she sent photos to us and always kept us updated on her status. While we were heading back from out of state, Virginia reached out to my wife to give her information to talk to are vet about. When we arrived home last night the house was clean and our dog was very happy and healthy. Over all If you’re looking for a trustworthy woman that will love your pet as much as you do definitely book her.

Jacob did such an amazing job with our Husky! We felt confident the entire time we were away that he was taken care of and safe. Jacob gave us daily updates and even went above and beyond cleaning the house after his sit was over! We will definitely be contacting again when we need doggy care. Thanks again Jacob, you’re the best!
