Madeleine was a wonderful sitter for my little pup! Rusty really liked her right from their first meeting. She stayed at my house which was perfect because Rusty is used to someone being home all the time. When I returned, the house was exactly the way I left it. I would highly recommend Madeleine for per/house sitting!

I highly recommend Destiny. She house sat for our dog Katie, who is a little shy. Destiny did a wonderful job making Katie feel comfortable and they quickly became good friends. Destiny is very contentious about her job and kept us up to date on how things were going. And she left our house spick and span. We will absolutely have Destiny watch Katie again.

Megan did an outstanding job looking after our pets (and home). She provided lots of pictures and updates which was really appreciated. Megan also went above and beyond with cleaning up our house from her stay. It’s always a relief to come home after a trip to a clean house and well cared for pets.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have been helping to care for them (walking, feeding, etc.) since I was around 10 years old. I’ve pet sit for many family friends throughout the years - dogs and cats alike. Recently I even housesat for 4 dogs and 2 cats all at the same time! My family dogs both recently passed away and I’ve been looking for something to fill the whole in my heart. Would love to take care of your pets! I am a freelance writer, musician, and retail associate, so I’m able to make my own schedule a lot of the time. I’m free during the day Monday-Thursday to walk your pooch or for drop-in visits, and I’m available after work on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays (I typically get off around 3-5 pm). I can walk, feed, or house sit for your dogs or cats. Also just love spending time with them in general! Whatever you need, I’m here to help.

About: I am a pre-vet college student looking to spend some time taking care of people's furry friends this summer. I have basic animal first aid training, I am pretty well versed in senior care in cats (having had a few of my own), and I LOVE working with/training puppies and young dogs. I'm happy to work with any age, size, energy level, and temperament of animal -- just tell me their favorite treat and we'll get along great :) I'm available for pet sitting, house sitting, and dog walking! My rates are negotiable, especially since I'm new to Rover. Message me if you have questions! I'm home for the summer, so excluding a few one-time conflicts, I'm free and clear! I would be happy to set up a repeating walk schedule. I'm happy to work around any comfort level your pet has with new people. I'd prefer to do a meet and greet before taking them out for the first time, just to make sure that your furry friend is comfortable with me (or has at least met me) before we spend some time together.

Ashton was a great sitter for our dog and cat while we traveled out of town for a few days. My dog can be a bit anxious so it’s always a bit nerve wrecking leaving her with someone else but Ashton was up for the challenge and my anxious girl warmed right up to her. She even made an extra trip over during the day when my dog was having a little bit of a panic moment. Will definitely use her again!

You step through the door with a whispering grace, A gentle smile, a warm embrace. Soft paws dance at the sound of your feet, A love so quiet, yet pure and sweet. By moonlight or sun, through purrs and sighs, You soothe their hearts with tender ties. A careful touch, a voice so low, A world of trust begins to grow. And though you leave when duty ends, In feline hearts, you’re more than a friend. For love lingers where kindness stays, A cat sitter’s warmth in golden rays

Highly recommend Maddie! She was fantastic with my elderly dog, Oliver, who has separation anxiety. During our initial visit, she was wonderful with him and asked detailed questions to understand his needs. ​Throughout my entire work trip, Maddie was highly communicative and sent regular photo updates, giving me total peace of mind. I returned to a clean house and a very comfortable, happy dog. It is rare to find someone who provides this level of specialized care, patience, and affection. I will absolutely use Maddie again!

“Everything went really smoothly with Meagan” said Clover when being interviewed after the weekend. “Belly rubs, treats and cuddles were top notch. Though the guy that normally rubs my belly wasn’t hear, I barely even noticed since Meagan was clearly a pro. She took care of me and my little heart condition awesomely”, she continued. From that guy that is normally around, thanks for making that part of my quick weekend away stress free.

Elise was wonderful. There were a few bumps in the road the first day (on my side) she handled calmly and effortless. I came home to a very happy dog (she is a rescue and not happy being left alone so when she was not anxious when I got back that is a plus) and my house was spotless.

Tiffany was an amazing caretaker for our two cats and two dogs while we were away for a week. She was communicative, sent lots of photos, and truly got to know our pets. She followed their routine and made them feel safe and happy. She comforted the nervous pups through fireworks AND thunder in one night (the horror!!!) and left the house super tidy. We definitely hope to have her back!
