Sabrina was fantastic. She was thankfully available for a last minute house sitting with Franklin. He's a rescue so it can be tricky getting him used to folks. She had no problem getting him out for walks and hanging out with him. Truly appreciative!

Shanisa was absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate a last-minute sitting request. We certainly didn’t make her job easy with big asks, but she was able to make us very happy pet parents! I highly recommend her.

Shannon is the absolute GREATEST! She’s professional, communicative and took amazing care of our animals. She’s not our first Rover but I'm hoping she’ll be our last! I am so relieved we found her and will always be our go to for when we need our pets looked after. 11/10. Thank you Shannon!

Dylan did a great job with our dog. It was a last minute booking, and Dylan really saved the day. He was accommodating, great with communication, and did a great job introducing himself to our pup (our dog is actually 12 years old and has a lot of separation anxiety). Dylan also sent us a number of photos while he was watching our dod to let us know he was doing great. We highly recommend Dylan.

First time using Rover and we were very satisfied. Our puppies were loved and happy when we got home. The house was neat and clean and we couldn’t recommend this couple more! Will use again for sure!

Rachel came to stay with our pups for a week while we were away on vacation, and did an amazing job! We got lots of pictures and videos, and updates on how they were doing. I felt so comfortable knowing she was there with them, and was able to enjoy my vacation to the fullest. We will definitely book with her again in the future, and absolutely recommend her for all your pet-sitting needs!! Thank you, Rachel!

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs and cats, and now having two rescue dogs of my own, I just can't imagine life without them. I haven't used Rover before, but I've spent years watching friends' dogs and cats whenever they needed someone they could trust. I've raised puppies, cared for kittens, and even handled medications when needed, so I'm no stranger to what animals need to feel safe and loved. I come to your home so your babies can stay in their own space, in their own routine. Every animal is different and I take the time to get to know them. Big or small, they all get the same gentle, attentive care. I just genuinely love animals, and that's something you'll see the moment I meet your pet. I'm always happy to set up a meet-up before booking so we can connect, your pet can get comfortable with me, and we can make sure it feels like the right fit for everyone I recently graduated from Arcadia University with my Master's in Physician Assistant Studies. While I study for my boards and prepare to move back home to Washington, I have time on my hands and want to spend it doing something I truly enjoy. Right now my days are completely open, which means your dog gets my full attention. No rushing off, no squeezing them in between a busy schedule. I'm there as long as they need me. As the mom of two very needy rescue dogs, I completely understand wanting your babies to have someone around as much as possible, and right now, I'm in a position to give exactly that! Since I will be in your home, my first priority is to respect whatever routine and rules you have in place for your pet. I am happy to provide as much or as little entertainment, snuggles, or space as your fur baby needs. When it comes to walks, I'm no stranger to dogs that pull on the leash or get reactive around other dogs. I've handled strong, reactive animals before and I feel confident and calm managing them.

Kevin was an absolutely Wonderful Dog/cat/house Sitter. He has the kindest and sweetest disposition and was very attentive. He went above and beyond to make sure the dogs felt comfortable around him. And he took on Two young Saint Bernard's which in itself can seem like a daunting task. He did it with ease and enthusiasm and we felt so comfortable leaving him to care for our fur babies for an extended weekend trip. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He was the first Dog sitter we had that I felt 110% comfortable and knew everyone (and our home) was in great hands. We are so thankful to him and hope he continues to care for our Bernards because he has such an ease and way with animals. Thank you!!

Our fur babies loved her! Julia stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs and cat. We did a meet and greet in our home about a month prior to our trip and immediately knew that she would be perfect. We also felt that we could trust her and liked that she was thorough and asked many questions. We will definitely be asking her to pet sit for us again and would highly recommend her to anyone in our area.

Brad did a fantastic job caring for our senior Greyhound in our home during an international trip. He was communicative, responsive, and asked questions when needed to ensure he was providing the best care for our girl. I’m very grateful that Brad’s professionalism allowed us to have a worry-free vacation! And a bonus- the house looks even better than when we left it.

Campbell was great while taking care of our dog, Holly while we were away for 4 days at the beach. Holly was her normal happy self when we got back. She’s quite excitable and loves personal attention, so staying home with a sitter is best for her. Holly immediately loved Campbell as soon as they met. Campbell was great with communication, she arrived and left right on time, and she took Holly on walks around the neighborhood. We asked her to check the basement while we were gone in case of any water seepage from the heavy rain. It turned out our water heater had broken and had flooded our entire basement the night before. She contacted us right away, and we were able to come back for a few hours to take care of it as best we could. We went back to the beach and she continued her stay with Holly while a water damage remediation team came to do their work. Campbell was extremely understanding and flexible with the water disaster. We were so happy to have Campbell here for Holly and for our house! We would absolutely recommend Campbell to anyone else needing in-home care for their pet :-)

Meg was a great house-sitter and she took excellent care of my aging kitty. I really appreciate the care Meg took to make sure that he was brushed, fed, and watered. She even read him cat books! When I got home, it was if I had never left. He was very happy!

We were so lucky to find Mikayla at the last minute for an overnight stay at our home. She’s very responsive and agreed to meeting with us and our anxious/high maintenance dog before booking. Upon meeting her, we felt very comfortable -she has a very kind and warm demeanor and took our laundry list of instructions in stride. While we were gone she was very communicative and sent pics of our pup. She was also very flexible as we unexpectedly had to cut our trip short by 2 days. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips-we are so happy to have found her!

Taylor was a fabulous sitter for our dog Frank! She was super flexible and willing to come meet him beforehand so that he could get familiar. He warmed right up to her immediately! She stayed overnight two nights with Frank and sent us updates and pictures throughout the weekend! We look forward to having her watch Frank again in the future!

Heidi was wonderful with JoJo last Friday, as she always has been. She is caring, attentive to his needs, detail oriented and keeps us posted on how he is doing. JoJo responds enthusiastically to her attention and care. We enjoyed an evening away from home with no concerns knowing JoJo was well cared for.
