Jessica watched our three dogs several times. She was great with communicating throughout the process. One of our dogs is very nervous around new people and Jessica was super patient with her…by the time we came home from our trip they were best friends! I highly recommend Jessica for anyone looking for a super kind and patient pet sitter!

Lisa did a great job. She looked after my cat and two dogs. She stayed at my home while we were gone. First vacation we have been on in a few years. I don't think my dogs missed us. Trustworthy and did as she promised. Would use her again

Stephanie was a delight to have as a petsitter. She was so friendly and communicative, and asked questions about the things I didn’t explain well. :) We look forward to having her watch the fur babies again!

Lisa has watched my 7yr old dog Leo many times. She takes him on walks and provides him with a safe indoor environment with toys and enrichment activities. Leo loves spending time with Lisa, and I feel confident and stress-free when I leave him in her care.

Shannon was amazing with our boys - she sent pictures, took them on walks and asked questions on their favorite toys, quirks, etc. She was quick to respond and not once while we were out of town did I worry about them. We will absolutely be using Shannon again!

Sammy has been a life saver for our family as we've needed to find an occasional dog sitter for our two pups Cody and Tucker after moving to WDM only a few months ago and not knowing anyone in the area. Tucker has been having epileptic seizures, needs medications 3x per day, and can't be left alone with his separation anxiety. We found Sammy thru Rover and are incredibly grateful! She has a great setup at her house for the dogs. They have come home super happy and tired! She went above and beyond one evening and brought them back to our house as we were coming back into town. Cody was standing by her getting petted and seemed like he didn't want to leave her. She sends us frequent updates and pictures of Cody and Tucker during the day, which is nice to see how things are going for them. She does an AMAZING job and we are so thankful we found her!!!

This was only the second time I left Lenny alone for any period of time, and I felt completely comfortable with Sarah caring for him. She brought in packages, took out the trash and left the house tidy.

Highly recommend!! Andrea has stayed are our house two times for long weekends and watched our 14 year old Pitbull who can't go to dog parks or really be around other dogs. She gave him his medication which is about 8 pills and tried different things to get him to eat. She stayed in constant contact with me and left our house spotless. We already scheduled her for another weekend in August.

Madi was fantastic! Wrigley is a high energy dog and he got daily trips to the dog park and even a trip to the pet store. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos. The house was spotless when we got home and Wrigley seemed very happy! This was our first time with a sitter and we were pretty nervous since our dog has separation anxiety, however with Madi here I don’t think he even realized we were gone. We’re already adding Madi to the calendar for next time, and would recommend them again and again!!!

Megan stayed at my house with my cat while I was out of town and she was absolutely amazing! I have a senior cat that required eye drops and Megan gave them to her when I wasn’t able to. She also sent videos and pictures of my cat while I was gone and my house was immaculate when I got back. Megan is so nice, responsible, and trusting. I will absolutely try and rebook her, and highly recommend her for your fur babies!!
