“Erika was very sweet and took great care of our old boy, Watson. He was well loved while we were away. Erika was also very respectful of our house. We will try to have her over again!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Tania. The dogs loved her, we loved her! She kept us up to date on our kids with texts and lots of pictures. She is very warm and friendly and we will have her back any time we travel. Thank you so much.”
About: Animals have always been my passion and your pet's well-being will always come first. I work in a very timely manner and am proactive to let you know about how your pet is doing! I am in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer and spend 30+ hours volunteering at the animal shelter. I have open availability for the summer and would love to help care for your furry companion! My schedule is Sunday - Saturday, with earliest appointments at 8AM and latest at 8PM. Caring for pets in your home requires trust and respect. I keep to the main community areas of your home - this generally includes the living room, kitchen, and backyard, as well as access to one bathroom. I will assume any other place as off-limits unless otherwise specified. Supplies such as leashes, collars, harnesses, treats, etc. that you provide will be returned back to their original location at the end of my stay. Keys can either be left in a hidden lock box or on my person - I take care to properly label and safely store any keys to ensure they are returned when needed.
“We went outof town for the day and Lara watched our dog while we were away. While our dog is older, doesn't want to go outside much, and is afraid of people he does not know well, Lara was able to take him on several walks during the and kept us updated while we were out by sending us pictures of our dog throughout the day. Lara understands dogs well, and we felt confident having Lara care for our dog during the day. I would definitely recommend Lara to other friends who need dog care.”
“Georgina did a great job with Mikko and Kona! This was her first house sitting visit with them, and she quickly acclimated to their personalities! She was communicative, thorough with the instructions, and made sure they were comfortable and had a good time! Mikko and Kona warned up to her quickly, and she earned their trust fast. Look forward to hosting Georgina again in a few weeks!”
“Mia was amazing with Bear!!! She took such good care of him and he loved her. Was super communicative and I loved how excited she was to watch our pup. We’ll definitely reach out to Mia again :)”
“Alexis is the best! Stella and Riggy absolutely loved her! Riggins is toy-obsessed and loved to play and Alexis spent lots of time doing what Riggy love most - tug-o-war! Alexis sent pictures throughout her stay, which made us so happy!! She took the best care possible of our fur babies and our home! And our doggies seemed very relaxed and happy when we got home! Can’t wait to have Alexis back again!”
“Peter was great with both our dogs, who can sometimes be a bit demanding and quirky! He was excellent at communication, and let us know immediately when one of the dogs was slightly injured. I'd welcome him back into our home anytime!”
“Samantha was great with Bear! She stayed at our place and took him on walks, played with him, and sent us pictures throughout the day. We really appreciated her help and look forward to having her back!”
“Absolutely amazing. The communication was great, my home looks & feels great, & my sweet dog was so happy & comfortable around her. We are looking forward to being able to rebook Lexi again on our next getaway.”
“Vicki was great! I had a last minute change in plans for Thanksgiving and needed pet care. She repliesd to my request within the hour, she came for a meet and greet the next day, and we were booked. While we were out, we received many updates about the dogs as well as pics and videos. We’ll be using her again for sure!”
“Halona is the best! She took care of our two dogs for a week and is amazing to work with. We have one dog who can be fearful of strangers and she warmed up to Halona quickly. We loved the texts we got daily with pics of our dogs adventures. We plan on having Halona watch our fur-babies whenever we leave town. Highly recommended!”
“Asuka was incredible with our dog. She was communicative, responsive, and sent tons of pictures and videos of our dog while we were away. We would definitely use her again to care for our dog while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“Thank You Bailey! Bailey was very professional and made my life easier when I was in somewhat of a pinch. She responded to my request quickly, she communicated with me perfectly, and this made my 1st experience with Rover seamless... Bailey took care of my pets and made me feel comfortable and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry! I will be using this service again, and I will use Bailey again if and when she's available. I have no problem recommending Rover and Baily. Thank You Very Much, Brian B.”
“Opus got all the love he could possibly want and it's that what's most important? He must've enjoyed his visit because he forgave us for leaving him. My furry son tried to pull a fast one (you know how kids are) but Karma & Sierra's well-timed pictures tipped me off. My fault I failed to mention he's not allowed on the couch. They handled it great! We're very thankful we found them despite it being last minute.”
“We had the best experience with Vikram! Our dog Liko requires some special care for health related reasons, and knowing we had an experienced caregiver like Vikram to watch him while we were out of town was a sigh of relief. He kept us updated throughout the day and sent us pictures whenever we asked. I highly recommend Vikram and will definitely be using his services in the future 😁”
“Terryn S. was focused on my dog's needs & communicated appropriately throughout my absence. One of my dogs had separation anxiety and Terryn managed her well without putting undue stress on the dog, or me. I would welcome Terryn with the care of my dogs, house & garden, anytime.”
“I can’t say enough great things about Kat and Quinn. They are such a find for us and we feel fortunate to have such wonderful companions for our doggies while we’re away. Great communicators, punctual…they are true animal lovers who provide great doggie care and such wonderful pictures …omg! These young ladies are the best!”
“We were lucky to find Emily to take care of our dog Benny, cat Simon and our house!! Emily was not only sending many updates with pictures and videos, but also took great care of our house!! Honestly, couldn’t ask for a more amazing pet sitter!! 🥰”
