House Sitting in Whately

My husband and I had to travel; my older cat had just been diagnosed with diabetes; and my regular pet/house-sitter was unavailable. So instead of panicking (though I was close), I turned to Rover.com and found wonderful Bree! I wanted someone who was comfortable giving daily insulin injections to a suspicious "patient." Bree not only handled this task expertly, but she also pointed out an irregularity in the insulin dosage ... an error or either my vet's part or my own (probably the latter). It was a great catch! Bree bonded quickly with both kitties (even the highly suspicious one); she sent me regular updates and photos without my asking; and I returned to an immaculate house. I will happily ask Bree to stay here again.

Abigail was an amazing dog sitter! We got so many photos and detailed updates that were fun to see. She was attentive to our dogs’ needs and adapted to meet them where they were at, we were able to rest assured they were happy and calm while we were away!

Ash was great. He had an instant rapport with our two dogs - who, by the way, are very different from one another. One is a 90 lb. Labrador/bloodhound mix, 8 years old; the other is a Yorkie/Maltese mix, 16 lbs., 1.5 years old. They get along famously. The little guy is epileptic and had a seizure while we were away, and Ash was prepared and handled it perfectly. He kept us informed and sent photographs to keep us calm, as it was the first time we had left the dogs so we could get away. Ash also took care of the house and even offered to water the plants. This was our first time using Rover, but certainly not our last.

If there were 10 stars to leave that wouldn’t be enough! Carol watched or 2 bassets and cat and did an amazing job. From the moment we met her we were very comfortable having her watch our home and pets. She sent regular updates and messages during her stay. She did have to return to the house after our trip for a short visit and our animals were overjoyed to see her. Seeing this and Carols interaction with our pets and the affection they showed to her was priceless. Our pets can’t wait for us to go away again so Carol can come back to watch them again.

Lauren is fantastic! She's sweet and was great with our puppy, who loved Lauren right away. Lauren clearly has a lot of experience, and I didn't have to worry about a thing while we were away. I would love to have Lauren take care of our pup again!

Jaclyn took wonderful care of our dog and our rabbit!! She is warm, attentive, responsible, and a great communicator. Bear and Bunny are looking forward to next time!!

I am so happy that I found Thomas on Rover. I was quite anxious because our rescue dog had never been with a dog sitter before, but he was so patient, communicative, professional, and loving to our dog! I really appreciated his updates and pictures. 10/10 recommend!

Janet did a GREAT job caring for our girl, tons of walks amd company even with a 2ft snow blizzard during her stay. Kept the house amd took care of everything that came up too! Totally recommended!!

Dorjee did a wonderful job taking care of Saphira while house sitting for us. We came home to a very happy kitty! We really appreciate it! Thank you Dorjee!

Thanks so much! The pups were Happy!

Lori was WONDERFUL with our dog, Bear! She was a great communicator, too. She sent lots of photos, which we loved receiving while away. This was our first time; we will definitely request her again.

She did a great job with my large dog who can be difficult at times. She had great communication with me while I was away including updates and pictures. When I got home the house was very clean and everything was just as we left it. My dog was very happy and relaxed when we arrived home. We will definitely be re booking when we are out of town

Nieves is the best! She takes great care of our pup and our home. She sends lots of lovely updates and shows how much care my dog is getting. She is an exceptional pet sitter. And she also takes great care of our home. 10/10 will book again and again!

Natalie was excellent as usual!

Julie was such a calm presence for my pups. She took the time to get my nervous boy Bubba to trust her and by the end of her visit he obviously adored her. He was very spoiled and I am OK with that! Nala wanted to make sure Julie returned; as I found a stolen sock hidden away in her bed! Nala doesn't steal clothes unless she is very comfortable with someone. Julie even took the extra time to care for my little hedgehog, for which I'm very thankful as it was one less thing to worry about while I was away. I almost can't wait to go on a trip again, just so the pups can visit with Julie soon.
