10. Richy B.
“I have known Charlie for 28 years. He has had pets ever since I have known him. He likes to be around them and makes sure they have what they need. He has always made sure to put them on potty breaks when he was at my house. He makes sure that they are part of everything. For this reason I believe he would be a good petsitter.”


11. Jennifer P.

“I am so thankful for Jennifer! She took excellent care of my senior dog, Molly! Jennifer sent lots of photos and updates along with taking Molly on walks. Molly was so happy and relaxed when I picked her up. I knew Molly was well taken care of and loved! Jennifer and her family are so nice and took care of Molly as their own. This was such a great experience, I booked with Jennifer again as soon as I got home! I appreciate Jennifer so much and highly recommend her!!”


12. Jennifer B.

“Jennifer was amazing with our two 1 year old pups. She is great at reading dog behavior and even helped train them a bit while they stayed. She kept in touch and sent pictures while we were gone too. She was very responsive to all my messages and concerns. She really did care for them like we would have! They also made friends with a few of her dogs. She was amazing and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter or trainer with experience!”


13. Schyler M.

“Schyler was amazing! She sent photos throughout the day and the pups seemed to have a great time! They were pretty tuckered out when they got home. Thank you Schyler!”

“Kalon did such a wonderful job!! Great communication, pictures, and care for my dog Frank. I will definitely be using her for future dog care needs!!!”


15. Elizabeth G.


“Liz was great! She will definitely be our first choice next time we need to board our fur baby. Very friendly, great attitude, and our dog warmed up to her immediately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter or walker. Liz made our first experience using Rover a very positive one.”


16. Maureen Y.
“My mom is a fantastic pet caregiver. She often watches our 2 dogs when my wife and I travel and it is always hard to get them to leave her house when we come home! They love it there. She follows our rules on feeding and gives them lots of time outside.”


17. Michelle G.

“The absolute best!!! Sent me pictures every day and made my baby feel so welcome❤️❤️❤️”


18. Justin & Caitlyn T.

“We are so grateful for Justin and Caitlyn. They treated our dogs like family. We have a 2 year old pup and a puppy and they went out of their way to make them feel comfortable. They kept us updated, sent pictures, and even walked them. I would completely recommend them and I only wish they also babysit children. The care was impeccable.”


19. Jason L.

“Jason was quite literally the best. He was enthusiastic from beginning to end, willing and able to meet our 6month old puppy’s needs without hesitation, and went above and BEYOND expectations. The photos, videos, and text updates made us feel as though we were leaving our babe in better hands than our own! 10 out of 10 recommend. We’ certainly look forward to reserving him in future.”


20. Janis S.

“Janis did a great job with Remi! I was a bit apprehensive about her two larger dogs with my 27 lb. boy, but she kept things in order and even sent me a video of him hanging out with another dog she was watching. It was comforting to know he was in good hands for the day.”
