“Hilary was amazing during her daily drop-ins with our dogs. She communicated so well, gave us great peace of mind, and made it easy to trust that our dogs were in great hands. Our dogs absolutely loved her and her kids, and it was clear they were getting lots of love and attention while we were away. It was such a relief knowing Hilary would be there during the day, so we never had to worry. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter.”
“Ashley is so wonderful. I have utilized her for drop in visits several times now for my 2 fur babies. She is flexible, responsive, and communicative- I highly recommend her!!”
“Paige was wonderful. Sent pix w every visit. Could see she was interacting with our fur baby. When we returned he was not anxious. Highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Sarah did a great job - the boys look and smell wonderful! I’m Impressed by all of her knowledge and expertise. She brought her own tools and products and used shedding gloves to get tons of loose fur off! Very satisfied customer”
“Sean was absolutely amazing with our fur baby! He was punctual, he updated us on how Titan was feeling, and he sent us pictures of him every time he walked him. Sean was our first dog walker so we didn’t know what to expect, but he exceeded our expectations! I would book him in a heartbeat!”
About: I have always been expected to care of my own pets from a very young age and now mine live with me at college:) I love it so much I even created my own dog poop cleaning up business in sixth grade! Anything I could ever do to help someone with their pet is so rewarding, and I understand needing to travel and see the world or visit family as I have moved around a ton when I was younger. I’m super excited to join the app! Having my animals in college has helped me ensure I build a healthy schedule not only for myself, but also them! The way I love a routine, so do they. I try to get up around the same time each day and feed dinner around the same time also. My dogs don’t eat lunch, but I have cared for animals that have and it’s all about craving that extra important time for them to ensure they feel comfortable, especially with family gone. I love the outdoors and walks during the summer so doing that is the least I could do for my babies. I’m a very flexible and communicative person which hopefully sets up the best care:) I want to be as respectful as possible, and since working at a clients home I would want to make sure I know what works best for your animal. If is a lot of outside time, space, treats, being in the crate while gone or not. anything! I can totally work around that because I want you to have peace of mind for your home and pet:)
“Christine was very nice & caring with my boy simba! She updated me regularly & even sent pictures & videos. Simba had a great time in her care & I will definitely be booking again for future trips!”
About: I have been taking care of cats and dogs my whole life, but I love animals of every kind. As a biology student who can't have any pets of my own at school, I'll treat your pets like my family! I am taking organic chemistry over the summer, so my schedule will be very flexible. I am an early riser, so morning walks are not an issue for me. I am happy to make multiple visits to your pet each day! For dogs, I walk and feed them regularly and make sure they get as much exercise and socialization as they need. For cats, I feed them regularly, clean litter boxes, and give them space unless they want to be my friend. I will not touch any personal belongings unless I have permission to do so, and I will ensure the security of your home by locking doors and keeping all client information confidential. I am very reliable and I will care for your pet like they are my own!
“Katherine took great care of my cats while we were away. She always sent pictures and updates in a timely manner, which was very nice to have. Would highly recommend!”
“Monica is the best, she’s the Rover momma that other Rover mommas pick for their fur babies! My fat cat adores her and does so much better when I travel if Monica comes by. He has made it very obvious that he is Monica’s biggest fan!”
“This was my first time using Rover. Ehlaura made sure Cooper had a great experience. She accommodated all of my requests and asked clarifying questions. I will be sure to use her for future needs.”
“Helena is amazing! She took such good care of our pups and even went above and beyond my expectations. I love the updates and pictures I get from her. She is very thorough and is great with giving medication as well. I don't think I'll work with anyone else, I've already booked her again for October!”
