“Livana is a sweetheart. It was a pleasure to meet her and our dog Nessie seemed happy and enjoyed her time with Liv. I definitely recommend her and will be using her services again soon.”
“Karen is amazing! She took such good care of my two cats and was kind enough to even water my plants when they looked thirsty. She writes such detailed messages, takes a lot of pictures, and got to know my cats very well while she was here. I highly recommend her as a sitter.”
“This was our second booking with Taylor. She was always on time and communicative, keeping us updated with photos. We never had to worry while we were away, knowing our dog was in good hands. It’s clear she genuinely love animals and treats them like her own. Our dog was so happy to see her, and we could tell he had a great time.”
“Peyton is an absolutely amazingly kind and competent sitter. Top of the line. I all have to book early in future to ensure her care for our Hobie cat in the future.”
About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!
About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.
“Bridgette was absolutely amazing & accommodating for my crazy schedule/situation. She did a great job with my pet in terms of walking, feeding, and giving consistent updates - I will definitely book her again!!”
“Christina was awesome! Our high strung dog took to her very well and was very happy when we got home. She was very attentive. She brushed her and walked her, spent time with her and kept her from being lonely. Thanks again!!”
“Anna did such an amazing job with our puppy Ellie. She arrived on time and treated our home and Ellie like they were her own. She sent many pictures of Ellie and it looked like Ellie had an fun time playing and snuggling with her. We will always go to Anna first if we ever need a dog sitter again. Thank you, Anna!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Cydni S. Cydni did a phenomenal job with our 3 dogs! She was always sending pictures at every drop-in with a description of how they were doing. Our dogs needed medication daily and she had no problem with giving it, she even paid attention to our picky eater and made sure she attended to his needs. Cydni went above and beyond by getting a package left on the porch out of the rain and tiding up the house for us. We can tell that they received lots of love and care! I would use Cydni again and recommend her to someone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”
About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I can not remember a time in my life that I didn't have a furry friend (or 2) I just really enjoy having them around. Learning their personalities is a challenge sometimes but its a challenge I enjoy. I have experience in most breeds as well. I understand that some dogs need more/less then others. I will follow your friends needs, and your instructions. I am currently a stay at home mom so I can work my schedule around your furry friend and your needs. I am only gone a short time to take my daughter to and from school during the school year. I live in home with a pretty decent sized backyard. I also have 2 huskies of my own who love to have new friends over. If for some reason they do not get along (because just like humans, that can happen) your furry friend will come first and my dogs will go ahead and spend time in their crates. I can also crate your friend if that is what you would like. I have no problem leaving my sliding door open for the dogs to go in and out on their own. I enjoy sitting outside and playing with my dogs, as well as yours. There is also a dog park not too far from me that I would take your friend to if that is something that you would like for me to do. I understand that sometimes dogs need a break from each other as well. They are definitely furry humans when it comes to their needs/wants/feelings. If your friend has a special diet, feeding time, or even a potty schedule I will follow that as well.
“Hollis was very quick to respond and good natured. I feel safe knowing she’s punctual and experienced with my pups! My pups LOVE HER. Even on the first meeting they just loved spending time with her. She takes fun photos and really gets to know the dog!”
“Elizabeth has communicated promptly to messages! When we come home and find our 4 westies happy and non-stressed we know they got a good loving drop in visit. Thank you Elizabeth! We will see you again! Xoxo”
