Justin stayed with our two pups, housesitting for us for almost a week. He was simply amazing with the pups, communication and managing the house. He is reliable and trustworthy and will be our first call the next time we need a pet/house sitter.

Karina stayed at our house for two weeks, watching our dogs and cats while we were away on vacation. During our entire time away she was very communicative and shared plenty of photos! She made sure we knew our animals were well taken care of the entire time sharing details of walks and feedings. When we came back all the animals were happy and the house was spotless and in an even better condition than when we had left it. If you are looking for somebody to take care of your animals, Karina is an excellent choice.

Abby is an excellent dog sitter. My dog was given a ton of love and my house was in good order when we returned from our vacation. We received daily pics and I'm pretty sure my dog would have been fine if we never returned! Abby obviously loves animals and is a responsible and reasonably priced sitter. Highly recommend!

My 15 month old husky/German shepherd mix got along well with Aury. Aury took her for a couple of walks and kept her company while I was gone...my dog has severe separation anxiety but Aury handled her well. Would use her service again.

Yulia was exceptional! I simply don’t post reviews, but in this case I feel compelled to because of the fantastic experience we had with Yulia taking care of our dogs and our home. She was responsive, smart, confident, kind, and experienced. We received great updates, including photos and videos, everyday. She even added a soundtrack to her videos…too cute! Upon returning home, the house was spotless, and most importantly the dogs were relaxed and happy. In fact, I was a little disappointed that they didn’t seem to have missed me as much as I had hoped, ha. The house was spotless and she had left a very nice letter thanking us for the opportunity (along with a plate of fresh baked brownies). She is the ideal balance of professional and personal. We will absolutely work with Yulia again in the near future and we highly recommend her!!

Michael was fantastic! We have 2 large dogs, one has pretty bad anxiety, he handled him so well! He communicated, sent pictures, and really cared about taking care of our dogs! I would recommend him to anyone. He did some training with our dogs as well which helps with getting energy out, I just really appreciate how caring he was with our dogs!

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and compassionate pet sitter who truly loves animals of all kinds. I’ve cared for cats, kittens, dogs, puppies, fish, and bearded dragons, and I’m comfortable working with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally trained my own dog, as well as helped train my best friend’s dog and my mom’s dog, focusing on basic obedience, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. I also have experience caring for a senior dog who was prone to seizures, so I understand the importance of patience, close monitoring, and following detailed care instructions. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, feeding, medication, training reinforcement, or just some extra love and attention, I’m happy to help. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry (and scaly!) family members and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I am available for bookings between 11:00 AM and 4:00 AM daily. I am unavailable on Wednesdays. Mondays 11 am -1am Tuesdays 11 am - 1am Thursdays 11am - 1am Fridays 11 am -1am Saturdays 11 am - 1am Sundays 11am - 1am I provide care in your home, secure yard, or neighborhood as that’s where your pet is most familiar / comfortable. I ask you to please let me know if they have any special needs, if there are other local pets or people they do or do not get along with, etc. Pet sitting drop-in visits are recommended 2-4 times per day depending on your pet. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for your fur baby and home, but for mutual reassurance I’m independently insured as a pet care professional.

Jennifer stayed in my home and took care of my Shar-pei Chuffy. This is the first time I've used a service to take care of my dog. She was totally reliable and kept me updated with texts and photos. She won over my standoffish boy and he fell completely in love with her. I would recommend her to anyone.

I’m so grateful with Stephen and Donna, can’t thank them enough in taking care of our furbabies, esp with Donna who’s very patient and really take her time to be with my very anxious cane corso. It was a big help for us leaving them in an awesome dog sitter. They’re highly recommended if you need help with your furbabies. They’re above and beyond.

About: Greetings Rover Community - Please review my services and guidelines before booking: • Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits – These services are individualized and available without the restrictions listed below. • Daycare and Boarding – Due to apartment rules at The 250 Residences, these services are only available for tenants of the building and their registered dogs. Visiting dogs are not permitted in the building, so unfortunately I cannot make exceptions. • House Sitting – Available only for dogs that complete a successful meet-and-greet with my Australian Shepherd and are comfortable with her staying overnight as well. This guideline applies to nighttime only. During the daytime I can bring her back to our apartment. Thanks for visiting my profile and trusting me with your pup. I’m Aneta, and I provide attentive, high-quality care where your dog has my full focus every time we’re together. I’m highly in tune with each dog’s needs, use positive reinforcement, and make sure they feel safe, engaged, and genuinely happy, whether they’re high-energy or low-key, young or senior, social or shy. You can expect frequent photo and video updates (the frame-worthy kind). I’ve grown up around dogs of many breeds, including Dobermans, Dachshund, and Golden Retriever, and in 2020 became a proud Australian Shepherd mom. My girl, Holly, is energetic, affectionate, and frisbee-obsessed. We spend our time learning new words, exploring nature trails, and playing at our apartment dog park. I’ve been trusted by friends and neighbors for dog care, and I’d love to meet your pup and give them an experience you can feel great about while you’re away. I have a hybrid work schedule with Monday and Friday being remote, Tuesday through Thursday in office (Please note: I leave my apartment at 6:45AM and come back at 4:15PM on in-office days, effectively being away for 9.5 consecutive hours). Please be mindful of this when booking me between Tuesday and Thursday. You can rest assured I know how to take care of your pup’s basic needs: food, water, activity/walks, taking care of business, and lots of love. I will look to you to share with me anything else that I should be mindful of for when I’m visiting your home. I’m a reasonable person and will consider and work to accommodate every reasonable request. If I’m visiting you in your home, I kindly request a 2-hour time window for each visit, if possible.

We were very pleased with Yuliia in her care for our dog. She met with us before and took time to answer all of our questions. During her time with our pet, she shared multiple pictures and videos. She gave him daily medicine, walks and brushed him regularly. She would share comments about our dog that was exactly his personality. We could tell she was truly engaging with him on the stay. When we got home, she baked us a special treat and left a lovely note. I would absolutely recommend using her for house sitting.

We booked Michael at the last minute for 5 days. He came over for a meet and greet and Billie seemed to like him right away. Michael sent daily updates with pictures. Billie seemed to be great! Michael also agreed to feed our frog (he eats live crickets). We were very happy with our first Rover experience!
