Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!

Jenna and Aiden were absolutely a dream! My dogs were well cared for. We came home to happy healthy dogs and a house in better shape than when we left. They absolutely went above and beyond. They gave us updates on the dogs with pictures. We will be using them again!

Having Linda stay at my home to take care of my dog Moose was a great experience! She sent frequent updates including pictures to let me know how he was doing and seems to have developed a great relationship with him! I'm going to hire her to walk him as well on a regular basis :-)

Gracelyn took great care of our pets! She even watered plants for us and stayed an extra night when our flights home were cancelled. The house was just as we left it when we got home. I definitely recommend her!

Samantha is awesome. She stayed with my cat Azi for a whole week, and sent very regular updates and photos. She communicated quickly when needed - I could trust that I could reach her if I needed to, and that she would reach out to me if anything came up. Most importantly, I could tell that Azi was calm and happy with her, which gave me so much peace of mind! He was chill (not too desperate for affection) when I got home, and the house was clean and tidy. I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

WOW! Angela was the perfect petsitter for our little babies! She was so sweet, professional, and communicative and it made us feel so comfortable leaving them for two weeks as well as having her stay at our house! Our house was clean when we returned like she wasn’t even there! Both our pups were so happy not just to see us but overall happy and weren’t upset we were gone which shows us how great Angela was with them! Thank you Angela and we WILL book again!

Alexis was great. She stayed with Lady and took great care of her. Her schedule allowed her to take her out 5 times per day. She also fed our turtle each day and sent daily pictures of both pets. When we returned home, everything was in order. The house was as we left it and our pets were content.

Madalyn was absolutely phenomenal when it came to watching our two dogs and cat. She routinely sent updates about how the boys were doing. From the pictures alone you could tell how comfortable they were with her. She also verified times to ensure they received timely care until we returned home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and would love to rebook her when we travel again.

About: I've been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember, and I have experience with dogs and cats of all kinds. I have a deep respect for all animals, including those that are shy or have special needs, and I'm committed to giving every animal the care they deserve. I'm available on most weekends and holidays. I occasionally have weekdays open as my work schedule allows. I will have Fridays available for part of the summer. When introducing myself I allow the animal to approach me first, I take things slow if they're shy or nervous. I'm familiar with dog and cat body language so I can recognize signs of stress. When walking dogs I'm always aware of my surroundings and will adjust the route if I need to.

Sara was by far one of the best pet sitter we have had! She was communicative, and very trustworthy- both making it extremely easy to work with her. We will be reaching out for future visits! Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dogs- this allowed us to both relax on our trip!!

About: Dogs are a gift to the earth we will never be able to fully appreciate or understand, the protection and kindness and beauty of their soul is something I truly admire. My roommate in college and longtime best friend has a “Canine Training and Management” degree and I have learned extensive tricks and tools from her to help with any disciplinary issues you may have. Dogs just need to be understood and most of the time we just aren’t listening! I have two cats, who are my world. When I’m not working I’m spending most of my time playing with them, cleaning up after them, and making them happy! I would treat your animals as if they were my own, with the level of protection and care that I would protect my own babies with.

Merissa and Nick are stand outs! They took such great care of Comet; he can’t wait for them to come back and doggie-sit again! They are super responsive, great about sending updates/photos, and go above and beyond to make your dog comfortable and loved while you’re away! Comet had an injury at the time and, not only did they give him his medicine but also some doggie massages as a bonus! Highly recommend :)

I have two cats that are very picky about who they will be around and I selected Eydid because their profile shows how passionate they are with cats. It was my first time using Rover or any sitter and I was definitely anxious about it. Eydid is amazing - he took the time to get to know my cats, sit with them, and play with them. They love Eydid and that says a lot! Eydid was very respectful of my home and provided me with great updates and pics & videos of the cats having fun. 10/10 would select again. In fact I already have booked Eydid for another session when I am traveling out of the country :D

Patrick came for a meet and greet and understood the needs of my reactive dog. He did great with her and she warmed right up to him. He took care of her specialty food needs as well as medication. He was also very responsive and kept us updated. We will definitely reach out to him for future sits.

Michelle provided house sitting for our 3 dogs and cat. She did a wonderful job following detailed medication and feeding instructions, and provided daily pics and updates on them. The animals were clearly all healthy and happy upon return. I would book her again without hesitation.
