1. Ash B.

“Ash did a great job with our pets while we were gone. She sent updates and pictures from each drop in. She showed up on time each day and all the animals seemed to love her!”


2. Jenevieve Y.

“Jenevieve totally saved our vacation! I had originally hired another Rover sitter to drop in on our dog while we were on vacation. The other sitter didn't show up for 2 visits. Luckily I was able to book super last minute with Jenevieve and she is awesome! She was always there on time to take care of my dog. He is 15 and takes heart meds, so it's important that he gets them twice a day. She seemed to really care for my dog and sent pictures every visit. I was totally impressed with her attention to his care. If you are looking for a great sitter, look no further!”


3. Austin O.

“Austin was very attentive to my 2 cats. He took plenty of photos and communicated with me very well. I will definitely have Austin check on my kitties again. He anleviated any and all worries that I had while traveling without my cats.”


4. Jessica D.

“Jessica did a great job with our dogs! They love to give kisses and play ball and she accommodated that well. Will definitely be using Jessica again!”


5. Caitlyn S.

“Caitlyn was a life saver! I had to be out of town for work, and my daughter also had to work during the day, Caitlyn was not feeling well and she still came and let my pups out. Without her, they would have been in dire straits. She was absolutely amazing and selfless. Recommend 100%”


6. Kent K.

“Kent is dependable and is good with my dog. I definitely recommend him.”


7. Karla K.

“Karla was very attentive to our golden pup in her time of need. She was quick to respond when initially asking for her help last minute and made communication easy throughout the drop in visits. We appreciate her flexibility and timeliness. Thanks Karla!”


8. Alexis G.


“Alexis was quick to respond upon me reaching out to book for her and helped me walk through the Rover process. When the drop in time (let them out in backyard) came, she sent many pictures and let me know how they were doing. She even made time for two drop ins on a holiday, so we could go out of town and be with family and friends. I would definitely book with Alexis again!”


9. Allison G.

“Allison is the best! We’ve had her help us out twice now and she does a great job and our dogs love her - couldn’t ask for better help with our big babies! Highly recommend.”


10. Brenda E.

About: I have been around puppy dogs all of my life. From Saint Bernards to chihuahuas to basset hounds to mini dachshunds and everything in between. I am also the proud grannie of a Dutch shepherd. Having lost my 13-year-old companion a few years ago my heart is finally ready to help others take care of their loved ones. I am currently working full-time downtime and am available for early morning and evening potty breaks and walks. Depending on the location I can pop in over lunch. I am also available to stay overnight with your little one. I believe furry ones are more comfortable in their own homes. I strive to provide as much normalcy as possible to their routine. They will miss you, facetime is always an option for them to hear your voice.


11. Angie M.

“Angie did a great job taking care of my two kitties they were both relaxed, healthy, and happy when I returned. I highly recommend her... she spent a good amount of time each visit not only feeding and cleaning up but also holding and petting them. I am booking her again for my next trip this coming February.”


12. Paige M.

“Was so great squeezing us in last minute, went right over and let the dogs out. They had a blast with her, and she even messaged to get a towel to wipe their paws since it was wet out! Thank you!!!”


13. Julie R.

“Best ever!!!”


14. Ellissa P.
“Ellissa would be a great pick to take care for your pups. She already deals with two overly rambunctious dogs of her own. She would put your doggos needs over her own.”


15. Shannon M.

“Shannon was awesome. When we first met her, she asked a lot of questions and really paid attention to Noslo. Since she was scheduled a few weeks in advance, as we got closer to the time scheduled, she reached out and was very easy to communicate with about our needs and Noslo's needs. Since we were going to be gone for long periods of time during the day, we set up times that she would come each day to give Noslo a break. She followed the plan and was able to play ball with Noslo and give him some attention to keep his mind off of us being gone for most of the day. She always kept us updated (even when we weren't responding to her messages) on what was going on and what Noslo was doing and feeling. She was very attentive to his needs and she really cared about how he felt. Although Noslo did miss us, we know that with Shannon stopping by and taking care of our baby during the day, he was able to expend some energy and I'm sure it eased some of his anxiety. We will be definitely requesting Shannon's services again!”

“Donna has a strong love for animals, especially dogs. She's had a couple of her own dogs and treated them well. She's tusting as well.”
