21. Klarysa S.

“Klaryssa has been with our rambunctious golden mix Remy ever since he was a puppy and he absolutely adores her! She is a responsible and reliable dog sitter.”


22. Amanda J.

“Amanda did a great job dropping in for an hour to take care of Bonnie and Clyde. We got some nice pictures of our 2 cats while we were away and appreciate that. Kitty litter was as taken care of and most of all our cats got a little attention while we were away. Thank you Amanda!”


23. Lilly B.

“Lilly was super great with my two cats! We have a super picky eater and the other one is a feline vacuum, so it was really important to find someone who had the patience to make sure they both ate the correct amount. Lilly was super patient with our cats and made sure they were both well fed, and well loved! We have had her watch our cats again and it was great.”


24. Wren A.
“I was moving and couldn't find anyone to take my beautiful Monroe, who I had as a kitten. I was devastated and called Wren to come get Monroe and he immediately said yes and drove from NH to CT to pick her up. She is well taken care of and loved by the best, Wren. I would trust him to care for any of my pets with the utmost love and adoration. I highly recommend!”




25. Casey L.
“Casey is super attentive, conscientious and a true animal lover. My dog just had surgery and she was so helpful going the extra mile to make sure our dog was healing well. Also she took care of our 2 cats and made sure everyone was happy! I highly recommend her!!”


26. Randy J.
“Randy is always great with my dog! He can watch him anytime. He is patient and communicates really well. I’ll recommend him to anyone who needs a walker.”




27. Demi B.


“Demi was top-notch. She was prompt, sent messages to maintain communication, and followed directions in caring for our two, large dogs. We were really pleased and will definitely hire her again.”


28. Olivia W.
“Olivia is a true dog person! She has spent a ton of time caring for my two pups and they absolutely love her. If you're looking for someone who will provide the same care and attention that you would for your dog, Olivia is your sitter!!”


29. Megan R.

“Megan was very professional and knowledgeable. Handled our “work in progress” dogs with ease, and we will definitely use her again :) thank you!!”




30. Chelsea G.

“Chelsea was excellent! This was my first time on Rover and she made a great impression. Great and fast communication, loved the pics on the rover cards. I really knew Cooper was being taken care of and having a fun day while I was gone. Also she was able to squeeze me in on very short notice, which I really appreciated. I definitely look forward to working with Chelsea again in the future. Thank you Chelsea!”


31. Elizabeth R.
About: I've helped to take care of family members dogs in the past but I am looking forward to working with dogs more during the Summer I'll be visiting and walking a few days a week while also taking part in an internship in Massachusetts. On my days off from the internship, I'll have a lot of free time. Safety is a top priority for me. Before working with any owners I have a policy of having a short talk with them about any safety concerns for their animal(s).


32. Tatiana T.

“Tatiana was absolutely wonderful to work with, finding times that worked for both my puppy’s needs and her schedule. Incredibly responsive and worked to make sure my pup was well cared for. I hope I can use her again in the future!”


33. Hannah T.

“Hannah was amazing at taking care of our cat while we were away on vacation. Prompt responses and great communication, on time each and every day, able to give oral meds to a somewhat finicky cat and carved out some time for play. The two of them became fast friends. Can't tell if Frankie is vocalizing because he's happy for us to be home or wondering where his new friend went! I couldn't recommend Hannah more highly and we feel we have found our go-to sitter for as long as she is around. Thanks Hannah!”


34. Meghan B.

“Meghan was great with our large weim-lab mix and the pictures sent during the visits showed a calm happy guy!”


35. Austin H.

“Austin is a very trustworthy sitter, and when Austin came, Coco seemed very happy and at ease with him! We are looking forward to working with you again!”


36. Samuel & Enora S.
“Sam has provided thoughtful and attentive care to numbers of dogs and cats in his lifetime. He has a large home in a safe, quiet neighborhood, with a nice yard that would be fun for dogs to enjoy! He’s owned and babysat numerous breeds; golden retrievers, boston terriers, huskies, and border collies. He’s very comfortable accommodating the needs of any animals whether they want to hike a mountain or snuggle on the couch. He’s also cared for senior dogs who needed medication, had mobility issues, etc. In addition to this, he’s also fostered litters of kittens for the SPCA and would make a great cat sitter as well!”


37. Isabella B.
“Bella is amazing. She was able to care for our pup while we were away, and completely eliminated our worries. She was loving, caring, compassionate and gentle with our pup. I would 100% recommend Bella for all your pet care needs! She was able to truly care for our pup like it was her own”


38. Sarah Rae D.
About: Very strong, pleantly of love and care to go around! Im used to walking my two giants at the same time. Experience with reactive dogs and resource guarding I work full time during the week. Looking to pick up some clients who need there pet checked on or walked while away for the day. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs but also take them on walks when the weather is acceptable. They enjoy doing zooms and watching the squirrels. Im currently not offering day care as we are new to the house and they need time to adjust


39. Shay S.

“Shay was wonderful! Extremely responsive, attentive to our baby (75lb boxer named Murphy), and just a pleasure to chat with. She provided plenty of photos and even a video of her visit for my wife and I which certainly put us at ease. Murphy clearly had a great time with her and we look forward to more walks for him and great times with Shay.”


40. Nick C.
“Nick was great with my pitbull! He is a very gentle and caring person. He treats my pitbull like he was one of his own pets. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs pet care. You will be in good hands if he takes care of your dog.”
