House Sitting in Palo Verde

Savannah was fantastic! We needed someone last minute to in-house dog sit our 2 Australian Shepherds while we took a family trip to Disneyland for 5 days. We had boarded our dogs in a kennel before, and we hated every bit of it knowing they weren’t in the comfort of their own home. Our dogs are the type to do better at home. When we came across Savannah’s profile we didn’t hesitate to message her. She’s got 10+ years experience caring for animals and you can see she is an animal lover. She is calm, sweet and took a genuine loving approach to our pups. We did a meet and greet and felt instant ease and comfort with her around, and so did our dogs. While away, Savannah messaged us throughout the day with plenty of photos and updates on how our pups were doing. All the details a caring pet owner would want to hear such as: potty times, mealtimes, walking/activities/play, snuggles, etc. She’s professional, polite, flexible, and clean- she left our house the way we left it for her. She’s absolutely lovely and cannot wait to book her for future dog care! We are incredibly thankful to have found Savannah!!

Drii was so sweet and communicative with our pups!! We have one dog who is more skittish and shy when meeting new people, and she warmed right up to her quickly. Would definitely book again!!

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.

Very communicative and great pictures!

I’m so glad I found Camryn! She took excellent care of my senior rescue dog over Thanksgiving. She clearly really knows and loves dogs, and it seemed like my girl had a great time with her. It was so nice knowing she was in good hands! I’ll definitely be booking with Camryn again in the future. Thank you Camryn!!

Michelle was absolutely wonderful! From the start, she was kind enough to suggest a meet-and-greet so she could get to know our animals and their (very) specific routines. During her stay, she followed all of our pets’ crazy schedules perfectly and kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to everything spotless — she even washed the sheets she used without us asking, which was so sweet and above and beyond anything we expected. Our babies were clearly well cared for and happy, and we could tell she made them feel comfortable the whole time. We’d be honored to have Michelle stay with our pets again in the future. Truly an amazing sitter!

Alexis did a wonderful job for us while we were out of town. Two weeks prior to us leaving she contacted us and came for a get aquainted visit with our two pups. Eddie and Arrow warmed up to her quickly, which is unusual, so it put us very much at ease from the start. During the visit Alexis asked about any special instructions, etc. that she would need to know about. Alexis then contacted us the day before we were to leave to confirm the time we wanted her to be at our house. The day we were leaving Alexis arrived on time, actually a little early, and the pups once again felt comfortable with her. Alexis went over all instructions with us once again to make certain all issues were covered. During our time away Alexis sent us pictures and videos daily of the pups playing and to let us know all was well. We found her to be conscientious, thorough, and caring. We could tell our babies were in great hands. When we returned we found the house well taken care of, immaculate actually, and most importantly the pups healthy and happy. I would highly recommend her to anyone. As a matter of fack we are going back to Washington for our son's graduation from WWU and we will be requesting her again to be our caretaker for the dogs. Thank you very very much Alexis. We appreciate all you did for us. Rick an Amy HAnnold

Kailyn dad a fantastic job of caring for our 2 dogs, one being post-op, while we were out of town.

I was away for 2 nights, and Kathleen sat with Lucy staying overnight. I never had any worries about Lucy and Kathleen never had to contact me. She got along great with Lucy and chatted it up with my parrot, Maggie Mae. She was great!!!

Katie not only took amazing care of our dog but treated our home as her own. She went above and beyond to provide updates, daily photos, communicated clearly and overall instilled a level of trust that was greatly appreciated while we were several thousand miles away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We look forward to working with Katie in the future.
