House Sitting in Winona

Cali was wonderful. She was prompt, professional and our dog loved her from the start. We really appreciated her pictures she sent. For a first Rover experience it was reassuring and all around a good experience. I did tip Cali already.

Miss Jillissa is very attentive and actively works to understand my fur babies' personalities. She regularly kept in touch. Sebastian and Irene were calm and didn't even really care when I got home. She also kept good care of the house. I would gladly have her watch them again!

I am so thankful we got Rebekah to be our house sitter. For the one flat, daily fee, she not only did all of Mikka's daily walks, but she also did our parakeet Chatta's food and water at night and then let her back out of her cage every morning. Not only that, but she found a parakeet playlist and would sometimes leave her phone with Chatta so that Chatta could listen to something while Rebekah walked or spent time with Mikka! That must be why our notoriously hard-to-please bird actually flew to Rebekah's shoulder on day 2. Chatta never likes someone that quickly! But this is a dog-sitting app, so enough about my bird....let me just say that Rebekah was amazing with our dog. I could just tell by the way Rebekah worded her updates that she completely understood our dog and her personality. Mikka's breed is all about hunting, and Rebekah was very patient in allowing her extra time to sniff out trees and woodpiles for critters. One day there was some bad weather, and Rebekah not only made sure to time a walk in between the rain, but stayed extra to comfort Mikka through the thunder. Finally, on my last night overseas when Rebekah mentioned that we must be heading home, I realized I had my dates wrong and was short a day on my reservation. Thank goodness she was able to do one more night/day on the least possible notice ever. My husband and I both agreed that we would not have been able to fully enjoy our trip if we didn't have Rebekah and know that our pets were in the best possible hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a house sitter.

We hired Isabelle for a second time to watch our dog; she was once again excellent. Prompt communication, updates to let us know all was well. Would gladly hire her again.

Skylar absolutely saved the day for me when another Rover sitter had to cancel a few hours into the first day of a three day house/dog sit. I was already hours away from home and she worked with me remotely to effect a smooth handoff. It was a huge relief after a stressful afternoon! She took great care of my two pups and kept the house tidy. She sent me photos and was good about responding when I would check in periodically. Already planning to hire her for my next trip!

Ajia was such a great match for our pets! My dogs can be a lot of energy sometimes but she knew exactly how to interact with them. Both the dogs and the cats loved her right away. Asking someone to watch four animals for multiple days is a lot, but she did great and was very communicative throughout the whole stay. She kept everyone well loved, fed and played with. I will absolutely have Ajia watch the pets for future stays or drop ins if we go away for a day. There was a small situation with the door locks and she even made sure that was handled quickly and kept me informed so there was no stress. She’s so patient and I felt very comfortable leaving my house and pets in her care!

Good communication throughout . Happy and healthy dog when I returned.

Laken's care of Barley was outstanding, as well as her communication prior, post and during her time with him in our home. She provided daily updates via messages and photos, showing that he was well exercised and well loved on! Her kind conscientiousness was obvious. It was blessing knowing that he was in such good care while we were away. She also did a few extra house-related tasks, which we so appreciated and she left our home very tidy and clean. We will most definitely ask her to care for Barley again in the future!

Ashley has been the BEST a dog sitter we have had. She sent us the most adorable photos of the pups that I just had to save because they were too cute! The dogs were smiling in the photos too which rarely happens when they are being watched by someone else. She left our home clean and did all the linens which was so great. Our one dog had some IBS and she made a a vet appointment and managed the situation so well. Honestly I can’t speak highly enough about Ashley she was kind and considerate and just took the best care of our dogs and that is saying a lot because I’m a super tough critic! Thank you Ashley!
