“Brye did a great job and her care of our boys was very appreciated.”


2. Olivia B.

“Would definitely recommend! Very responsive and was available last minute for my dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates and was great with administering his medications. My dog is super anxious so it’s hard to find someone he is good with and he did great with her!”


3. Linda H.

“Linda watched my 3 dogs for an overnight. She was very professional and courteous. She met them ahead of time. She kept in contact and sent pictures.”

5. Melissa H.

“Melissa was so friendly and amazing at keeping our minds at ease while being away from our fur babies!! She goes above and beyond to make everything comfortable for them and tries to give them the best experience she can while with them. Would definitely book again in the future!!!”


6. Callie B.


“Callie was phenomenal and we would highly recommend her services. She was professional, reliable, committed, communicative, and friendly. We will happily hire her again. Thanks Callie!”


7. Teri H.
“Teri is an amazing caregiver! She takes wonderful care of my dog, Kye, and her own dog, Molly, is a sweetheart. Teri’s experience and patience really stand out – she’s even able to clip Kye’s nails, which is no small feat since he hates getting them trimmed. I always feel at ease knowing my dog is in such capable hands. I highly recommend Teri!”


8. nevaeh b.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received while I was away over Christmas! Nevaeh went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and cat were well taken care of. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, healthy pets and a clean home, which is always a huge relief. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive pet sitter. Thank you so much!”


9. Lindsay M.

“We loved Lindsay! She responded right away. She came over to meet our dogs. She was professional, respectful and treated our dogs like they were her own. She sent us pictures of them while we were gone. She made it easy for us to enjoy our weekend away knowing she was taking care of them. We highly recommend Lindsay!”


10. Ashley S.

“Ashley took great care of my dog for a long weekend! My dog is fairly anxious, but she did a great job being patient with him and making him feel comfortable. He had an upset belly one of the days and met his needs accordingly, while providing me updates. Would definitely recommend Ashley to anyone and will be booking her again in the future!”


11. Lucas R.

“Lucas took great care of our girl! We'd have him back in a heartbeat.”


12. Spencer J.
“Spencer is the absolute best, a true dog whisperer! They love him, he loves them, & my dogs are more excited to see him than me!”


13. Amanda J.

“Amanda did such a good job with our dogs (Raven and Rowan) while we were away. We had never used Rover.com before and have only left our pups with friends or family. Unfortunately our dog watchers were not available during the time that we needed so I needed to look for another alternative. Amanda came through for us and made me feel comfortable leaving Raven and Rowan. Our dogs are spoiled and a bit of a handful, Amanda updated us and sent pictures everyday so that we could see that they were happy. Thank you so much Amanda!”


14. Michelle C.

“On time and dependable with photo updates. Our pups loved the attention and the extra playmate for the weekend.”


15. Kristen N.
“Kristen is so awesome with my dog Jake. He is a german shepherd and he loves when she visits. She has stayed overnight at my house to watch him when I have been on out of town trips. She is so loving towards him and took him on walks and played ball with him. She is the first person I ask to watch Jake when I need.”


16. Austin H.

“Austin dog sat for us over a long weekend. We have two quirky 55lb dogs. Austin gave timely communication each day and reached out with any questions. He also sent photos each day of our dogs! He left our house clean and organized. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter and would book again!”


17. Melissa E.

“Melissa is truly one of the best! Her updates were always incredibly thorough and were exactly what we needed! It was amazing to come home to happy dogs and a clean house! She’s incredible!”


18. Tatiana T.

“Tatiana was an amazing dog and house sitter for us for an extended vacation. She took care of our home while staying there with no issues and most importantly won over our very anxious rescue dog. She kept us updated with pictures and we felt so comfortable knowing she was giving our girl snuggles while we were away!”


19. Samuel & Enora S.

“Sam did a fantastic job caring for my home and both my dogs for the 8 days I was away. I returned to a spotless house and happy, well-cared-for pets with no issues at all. It was clear they were in great hands! I truly appreciate his dedication and would absolutely use his services again. Highly recommend!”


20. Madison S.

“Madi watched my dog while I was in Europe and was a pleasure! She was very communicative and in tune with both my dog and my needs - it was obvious that my dog was loved and well cared for! My place was left sparkling upon my return home, too. Would definitely recommend and ask her to sit again.”
