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.

Kaela was very responsible and took very good care of Piper and Maverick. She was gracious enough to stay an extra night when our flight was canceled. If we need a pet sitter again, Kaela will be the first on our list.

Lacey truly feels more like family than a puppy sitter. ❤️ Knowing Olive is with someone who genuinely loves and cares for her gives us such peace of mind. We are so grateful for the love, attention, and care she gives our little girl every single time. Olive absolutely adores her, and so do we! We feel incredibly lucky to have Lacey in our lives and are already looking forward to our next visit. 🐾💕

Kailyn did a great job of taking care of Mr. Pickles while we were away on a mini vacay. She made sure he was fed, his litter was clean and made sure he felt cared for. She also took great care of our home by pulling up our garbage cans and washing linens without us even having to ask. We definitely reach out to her the next time we plan a get away!

Andrea was great watching our Jersey at our place. Our dog had a lot of fun while we were gone for a few days! Will use her services again and highly recommend!
