Meriya watched our Boxer, Scarlet, for a week while we were on vacation and we were so thankful for her! Because she spent a lot of time in our home, she asked ahead of time if she could bring her dog, Max, and we gladly said yes because our dog loves pup friends. They did so well together and it was nice to know our girl had so much time with others while we were away. We’d definitely request Meriya again in the future!!

Would use again . My dog felt right at home with her and I could tell in the pictures he was well taken care of! She goes above and beyond! AMAZING

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dachshunds and am also the designated sitter for three cats who belong to my brothers, so I have a love for both! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and love surrounding myself with them. I’ve had lots of experience sitting for pets, ranging from German shepherds to kittens. I have lots of experience working with puppies and senior dogs. I am currently at home full time for the rest of the summer before I start my first year at law school this fall! I wanted to have a relaxing and fun next couple of months before starting possibly the hardest journey of my life, and I thought no better way to do that then spend time with animals. I’m always out walking, especially during the summer and would love to have a cute furry friend to accompany me! Since I am home full time, I am very flexible and have the ability to provide lots of love and care toward your pets. I’ve just recently finished up my internship, so I am available most weekdays. Mornings and early afternoons work best for me, but I am flexible! I always make sure my pets feel loved and cared for. My parents travel a lot and rely on me to be with the dogs 24/7 which I gladly do. I make sure to take them on walks (long enough that their little legs can handle). I’ve realized that a lot more dogs than expected have separation anxiety, so I always try to be as present as possible for them! The same applies for cats. I understand cats can vary when it comes to personality and temperament, and that has helped me understand the best approaches for them and how to interact in a way that is respectful to them.

Lisa was amazing with our animals! She made sure to follow the normal routine that the animals are accustomed to. Lisa provided updates throughout the week and made sure to ask questions to assure things were done to standard. Lisa went way beyond and I felt at ease knowing she was taking excellent care of our animals.

Brandon was so attentive to our pups’ needs and took great care of our home over an extended stay. He was extremely communicative, and I loved getting all of his updates and seeing how much time our pups were spending outside! He is the ideal petsitter for when you need someone to stay overnight / with your animals! Would 10/10 recommend!!

Alana did a great job. My greyhounds can be intimidating at 90 and 120 lbs. but she handled them beautifully. No problems even with storms. She gave lots of updates. No problems staying at the house. Definitely will call her again!

About: I love all kinds of animals, lizards, birds, even the more unique pets! I have two dogs and two cats and so I know how important your pets are to you when you put your trust in me to provide care for them. I love walking so if your pets needs walks or playtime I am always up for it! I am also able to sit back and hangout with animals that are less active or older, I am very flexible and love meeting all sorts of pets. I look forward to meeting you and those special angels that make everything better. Currently I have a very open schedule, starting in mid-January I will start attending college again but will still have plenty of flexibility! Every day of the week it opens for me and times can be discussed. When I care for your pets, my focus is on keeping them comfortable and happy right where they feel most secure — at home with you. I’ll follow your instructions closely, stick to their usual routines, and give them the same love and attention I give my own animals. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playful energy, or simply quiet companionship, I’ll adapt to their personality and needs. You can count on me to treat your home with respect and your pets with genuine care. My commitment is to keep your pets safe, loved, and well cared for, so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.

Elisa was so very wonderful with the boys. I received many pictures throughout my trip encouraging me to know that they were very well taken care of and loved, just as I would do if I was home. I will definitely be calling her again when I need some good spoiling for the boys.

About: I have worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes over the years. I love every pup, and every pup has unique behavioral and dietary needs, and they should all get the personalized treatment they deserve! As the experienced owner of a giant breed dog (and probably more in the near future), I want you to know that no matter the size and shape of your dog they will receive personalized care and fun time with me! I am retired from professional baseball, and this is a great way to spend my free time! I love dogs, and as a single guy with a ton of free time, this feels like the best use of it! I am happy to do whatever you may need to help your pet out… whether it’s a long walk during the day, an overnight stay, or just checking in and giving some treats, I’m here to help!

Maci was absolutely incredible. This was our first experience using Rover and she made it so enjoyable and simple. So easy to communicate with her all week as well! Very responsive and prompt. She stayed at our home for a week with our dog/tortoise/ and fish and did a wonderful job taking care of all three. Also the house was extremely taken care of.. she even washed the bedding before she left! I am so happy to have found her and excited to be able to travel with ease now. Thank you Maci!!

About: I've had four dogs over the course of my life. All small to medium but I'm not against large dogs. Our pups had some special requirements so I'm accustomed to keeping up with a schedule. I'm currently working full-time. I go in at 6am and get off work at 3pm on weekdays and 12pm on saturdays. I'm able to leave on my lunch breaks for potty needs. I can adjust my days slightly if needed. I can follow instructions well, I'm detail oriented, and offer plenty of cuddles and playtime in the afternoons. Walks around the neighborhood if that's what your pupper needs. I have a dog so I can bring him around for company.

Nyska was a really wonderful sitter! I received lots of updates and photos while away, and I could tell Oliver had a great time with her when we arrived home. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Nyska again, she gave me total peace of mind while 4,000+ miles from home!
