“Bree was very responsive and communicative with the walk for my puppy Willow. She made time out of her day to do a meet and greet and all went well on the day of the services!”
3. Elizabeth M.
“I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough! She is incredibly kind, and compassionate, and has a natural affinity for animals that immediately puts both pets and their owners at ease. From the very first time she cared for my pets, it was clear she truly loves what she does. Elizabeth is reliable, and attentive, and goes above and beyond to ensure every need is met—whether that’s feeding, walking, playtime, or just giving plenty of love and attention. I feel completely at ease when I have to be away knowing my pets are in her care - and they ADORE her! If you’re looking for someone who treats your furry family members like her own, Elizabeth is the person to call. I absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch pet care!”
4. Qi H.
“Qi and her daughters were great! They took care of Rexie, a siberian husky, as if he was their own. Rexie came back happy and tired from their walk which what I needed. Qi was also a great and fast communicator. I had to move our walk time to 1 hour later due to a forgotten doc’s apt and Qi was flexible and kind enough to push the walk and meet my schedule on a short notice. I enjoyed my interaction with her and recommend her to anybody with a high energy dog!”

6. Sam C.
“This is the second time I've entrusted Sam with my dog Goose. Sam is uber reliable and I appreciate how quick and easy it is to communicate with her and the love she gives to my dog, beyond walking him--sits with him, makes sure he is calm, etc. Leaving the dog alone is stressful for me and the dog but Sam takes some of the stress out of it (for both of us!)”
7. Cindy C.
“Cindy came to our home and took excellent care of our min-pin while we were visiting family in Boston, MA. last year. She took my little boy out for daily walks (with leash) and sent me pictures & videos so I was kept up with the daily activities. BTW, we had difficulty finding a trustworthy person to care for our baby boy. I was delighted that Cindy was available (for 9 days) to help us out during our vacation. I will not hesitate to ask Cindy to help again.”
8. Jonathan A.
“Jonathan is a good hard worker who takes good care of my pet. I have an orange cat which can get a bit crazy with him but he knows how to handle him by feeding him, changing his litter/cleaning it and playing with him. He loves cats more but will still treat your pet like it’s his own. I highly recommend!”
9. Savannah R.
“On time. Very good with my dogs! Very professional and thorough in getting to know my dogs and their needs. My dogs and I are happy 😊”
10. Phuong P.
“I have two indoor cats. Both of them are usually shy and tend to hide when we have people over. However, they both love Phuong and come out to get extra attention. I also have five cats that hang out in my backyard and they also love her lots. Her nurturing and warm energy makes animals feel safe around her. She is also very patient and takes care of my cats as if she birthed them herself.”
11. Kelly H.
“Kelly did an awesome job with my dog. My dog has a lot of energy and have started leaving him home instead of doggy daycare. I really wanted him to get a nice long walk in during the half hour visit. Kelly would walk him a mile during this time and follows all my instructions. She is patient with my requests and takes photos of her visit. I’ll be continuing to use Kelly every day I work, as long as she is available. Thank you Kelly.”
12. Scottie O.
“I am incredibly grateful to Scottie from Rover for taking exceptional care of my beloved pets: Chief, Toni, and Lalo. Chief, my energetic Chesapeake Bay Retriever, always comes back happy and well-exercised from his walks. Toni, my delicate Papillon Chihuahua, receives the gentle and loving attention he needs. Lalo, my curious cat, is always relaxed and content after each visit. Scottie truly goes above and beyond to ensure my pets are safe, exercised, happy, and well-cared for. I highly recommend Scottie to any pet owner looking for reliable and compassionate care. Thank you, Scottie for being there for my furry family!”
13. Kryssel E.
“Kryssel is the best! She is very responsive to messages and I enjoy reading the report cards she writes for Marley as well as the pictures during their walks (: definitely book her!”
14. Wei L.
“Great communication with Wei from the meet up to the scheduling. Hunyi has shown less sign of stress after his afternoon walks with Wei. Thank you!!”
15. Chris N.
“I am so grateful Chris was able to help care for our dogs! He was very responsive and was able to do a meet before the walk to make sure all would go well. He is very knowledgeable on dogs and seemed genuinely happy to be around the dogs. Very detailed report and photos let me know everything went well!”
16. Sylvia C.
“I just wanted to take a moment to share a wonderful experience we had with Sylvia, who we recently hired to walk my grandma's dogs. Her demeanor and approach to caring for the dogs completely exceeded our expectations, and I think it’s important to highlight just how special she is. From the moment Sylvia arrived, it was clear that she has a genuine love and understanding for animals, especially elderly ones. The way she interacted with my grandma’s dogs was heartwarming; she was so sweet and incredibly patient. My grandma has two elderly dogs who take their time, often stopping to rest in the grass when they need to. Sylvia understood this perfectly instead of rushing them or trying to hurry them along, she was attentive and accommodating, allowing them the space they needed to enjoy their walk at their own pace. It was so reassuring to see how bonded Sylvia was with the dogs. She spoke to them gently, making sure they felt comfortable and secure during their outing. My grandma was absolutely thrilled with the experience! She mentioned how much she appreciates Sylvia’s ability to connect with the dogs and really cater to their needs. In fact, my grandma loved Sylvia so much that she’s telling me to booking her again. Seeing my grandma so happy I would do it even my elderly cats! It’s not often you find someone who truly understands and respects the unique needs of older pets, and Sylvia definitely has that special touch. We feel so fortunate to have found someone like her, and we can’t wait to book Sylvia again for more walks in the future. It really means a lot to us knowing that we have someone we trust to care for our beloved pets with love and compassion. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring pet sitter who truly understands dogs and their needs. Thank you for your time, and I hope you consider reaching out to Sylvia for your own pet care needs. You won't be disappointed!”
17. Adriana C.
“Adriana has taken care of my pets many times over the years. She is very patient and fun, always takes my pets out for walking. She sends lots of pictures and videos while they are with her. When I ask her to bath my pets she always does a great job. My pets always return happy.”
18. Chao C.
“Chao is a very kind people who has two dogs before. He has great attachment with his dogs. He knows how to take care dogs and play with them. He will be a good sitter definitely.”
19. Christina L.
“Christina was awesome with Nugget during daycare! She took such great care of him, and it was clear he was having the best time. She sent us tons of cute photos throughout the day, which we really appreciated”
20. Linwen W.
“I highly recommend Iris. She is patient, loving and reliable. She treats my puppy as if he is her own. Thank you Iris for being there for us!”
