Rachel provided care for our two dogs in our home for 3 days and 2 nights. She went above and beyond to befriend and bond with our shy pups. Rachel was a considerate and responsible houseguest as well. We highly recommend her and will definitely ask for her the next time we need a sitter for our dogs. -Nancy V

Sophia took excellent care of Tiffany while I was out of town for a few days. I keep rebooking her because when I come home, Tiffany is happy and stress free. Sophia follows the instructions I leave for Tiffany’s medicine and routine perfectly and I know I can trust her with Tiffany and my home.

About: Ive dog sit for friends and family at their home. Taking care of them in their own personal environment. Clients home care would to be following their rules/routines for their pet. Rather that be a walk or playing with their toys, feeding schedule..etc. ive sat older dogs, younger dogs and even taken a blind pup out for a day from the shelter! I work a full time job but i am able to leave once or twice during my shift to take care of the animals in your home! I will stop by and let them outside and play with them for a bit during my shift. I would stop by before my shift and immediately after, i always make sure they have enough time to play and go to the bathroom before i leave. I have dogs at home that arent dog friendly so i do have experience with reactive dogs! I cant keep other pets in my own home while you are not home but i am more than happy to hangout at your home and care for them!

I came in from out of town to visit my parents and needed someone to watch my three pups at an Airbnb—and Claire was everything we could have needed and more. She was communicative, kind, and clearly experienced. The dogs took to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!

This is the second time we have used Rover.com and the second time we have used Rachel R. Rachel is an awesome house sitter and our dogs Hershey & Cinnamon absolutely love her. Rachel sends us numerous pictures & funny videos while we are away. Frequently, she goes above and beyond the dog sitting service to take care of our house and our dogs. For example, the 1st time Rachel watched our dogs, she DeScaled my coffee pot and other things that Cathy & I wouldn't have even thought of. On her second time, there was a tornado warning and severe thunderstorm warning. While we hadn't left any instructions for bad weather, she contacted us immediately to let us know and to see how we wanted her to handle the dogs for severe weather. Then, Rachel kept us informed about the progression of the storms. Also, Rachel is very flexible and accommodating to our needs and last minute requests. With Rachel, we never have to worry about our dogs and can just relax and enjoy our time away. I have recommended Rachel to our neighbors and friends.
