House Sitting in Buckeye

This will be a long(er) review to provide context. Like many who use Rover, my dog is as important as the rest of my family. Having worked for a large pet chain that boards animals -- and understanding how traumatic it can be -- I have never boarded any of my dogs. Finding high quality care who can come into my house and take care of Maddie at the level I want is exceptionally difficult. Maddie is about 5 pounds and therefore is fragile. One misstep could be fatal. I don't let Maddie jump up or down and carry her up steps. Consequently, I agonize over her care. I chose Faith to dog sit (stay at my house) for 16 days after interviewing her, reading reviews, and watching her interact with Maddie ahead of time. The care she provided Maddie was excellent. I received an email daily and a picture daily. I had a friend and my mid-80 year old father who stopped by the house on occasion and the reports back were terrific. An important "tell" is how Maddie acted when I came home. She seemed "normal". She wasn't skittish or anxious -- just her normal, excited to see me behavior. There is one other thing that is noteworthy. Faith is exceptionally professional and responsible. She arrived when she said she would. She did what she said she would. In the past, I've had to pester dog sitters to let me know what is happening. Not with Faith. I asked her to communicate daily -- and she communicated twice. I did not worry at all on my vacation because Faith was constantly updating me before I had a chance to worry if everything was ok. As you can see, I highly recommend Faith and will be hiring her again.

Taylor was fantastic with us for a weekend getaway. She’s very communicative, sent pictures and kept us updated. She got along well with our baby kitty, who is a hard sell for warming up to almost anyone. Our older dog was loved and adored, likely getting all the attention he could hope for. The house was in great shape upon our return - she even kept an eye on our plants in the AZ heat. Definitely recommend her and hope our schedules align in the future.

Sydney came to my rescue at the last minute! My cat Friday took to her *instantly* and was at ease. Sydney sent me lots of photos and video and Friday's food/water was full and her litter well-scooped when I got home. Thank you Sydney!!

Olivia was amazing she spent lots of time with Allie and kept us updated and my house was cleaner than when we left.

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! Kailyn was incredibly professional, clean, and respectful of our home. Her communication was top notch and we loved receiving the frequent photo and video updates throughout our trip, which really put our minds at ease. It was clear our dog was in great hands and having a wonderful time. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her for an overnight stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter

Tori was so wonderful to our fur family! We loved the photo updates and were so happy to see our pups taken care of with no change in their schedule or routine. We really appreciated all the care!

Natalie is so caring and my two pups LOVE her! I appreciate her for communicating with me so well.
