House Sitting in Athens

Kristin took real nice care of our dog, who has a few quirks. Kept me posted daily or more often, with texts and pics. Very happy with the care.

We were new to Rover and came across Matt and Jessica. We have three dogs- Nia a 7 year old springer and two hound dogs- Daisy age 3 and Sadie age 1. We were gone for 6 days. To say that I get nervous leaving my dogs/babies is an understatement. Nia has medical issues and Jess did a great job handling and giving Nia her meds. Nia was so relaxed with Jess- she played ball with her. This is unheard of. When we’ve left Nia in the past she sulks, doesn’t eat/eats far less and certainly doesn’t relax enough to play ball. To me, this speaks to Jessica’s mild manner and calm she brings to the animals she watches. Jess stayed in our home- was 1000% trustworthy and kept the house neat and tidy. Jess sent daily pictures and communicated effectively and timely. I would strongly recommend Jess and Matt!!!

Elli did great with both our dogs for the week we were gone.

I realize at this point that I am beginning to sound like a fangirl for Kaylah, but I don't care. This time was a last-minute, less than 24 hours from the booking and she was ON IT. Got back to me right away, confirmed the booking, and kept in contact all day. Don't let her stern profile picture fool you, I'd dare anyone to find a sitter so in tune with your pets and so content to spend time with them.

Angela was fantastic! Tux is a challenge to deal with but she handled his antics with a calm professionalism that often escapes me. She helped Kola with his anxiety and gave me piece of mind.

Rhian took such good care of my dog that I think my dog was almost disappointed to see me return. She really loves all animals and all animals seem to love her. She is extremely conscientious. I will definitely use her anytime I need a dog sitter.

Cate did a great job caring for Benny. She sent us lots of pictures and kept us updated since when we left he was quite sad. Cate was able to cheer him up and we came home to a very happy boy!

We had Sari house sit our 6 month old German Sheppard and we would highly recommend her to anyone. She updated us throughout the weekend with great photos, took her on hikes in the area, and even had an Easter egg hunt with her since it was Easter weekend. The house was swept and exactly how we left it when we arrived home. It was the first time we left her with someone and we couldn’t be happier.

We were very happy with Teri staying with Stella for the first time. She gave her the space she needed to get used to her and we appreciated her patience with a new relationship. Teri arrived on time and stayed through when we agreed upon, so that was comforting. She sent a few photos and assured us Stella was all good. For our first Rover experience we were pleased. Thank you Teri, and Stella thanks you too!

The best cat/house sitter. Bobbi Jo took great care of my two cats, made sure they were fed and litter was clean and that they mostly stayed out of too much trouble, and also took care of my home during a snowstorm. Bobbi Jo was very responsive as well and communicated consistently.
