2. Sidnhy C.
“Sidnhy is fantastic! She was kind and attentive to Oscar and Daisy and mindful of their tricky med regimens. Communication and reliability could not be better. I will definitely be contacting Sidnhy again! Thank you so much!”
3. Alison D.
“Alison is wonderful! She really cares about my cats and goes the extra mile to make sure the cats are well taken care of and I have peace of mind. I always try to book Alison if I can!”
4. Kimberly B.
“Kimberly is a wonderful and loving pet owner who has been involved in rescue since I met her. I 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter/dog walker, etc. I have known her for quite a few years and she has even adopted cats from me. Only a handful of people have ever been trusted enough to direct adopt a cat from me and she did it 3 times! I would trust her with my personal pets any day.”
5. Kelly L.

7. Gabrielle S.
“I really appreciate you stopping over and taking care of Murphy! Gabrielle checked in when she got there, gave him time to go to the bathroom, walked him and made sure he had water. My dog vomited once before she got there and she cleaned it up and even took a picture so I could know what was going on. I would definitely use Gabrielle again!”

“Our first time hiring Haleigh as our regular sitter was out of town. Hadleigh took good care of 6 of our cats, posted daily updates of her visits, brought in the mail & vacuumed!! Highly recommend.”

11. Jennifer H.
“Jennifer took excellent care of our tiny Tonkinese queen while we were out of town. She was responsive, communicative and treated our girl like the royalty she thinks she is. Cannot recommend Jennifer enough if you’re looking for in-home care for your furbaby!!!!”
12. Hannah M.
“I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough! This was our first time using Rover and we booked to have multiple daily check-in’s for our two cats. To start, Hannah was prompt to respond and easy to communicate with to set everything up for the booking and meeting. After meeting her in person, my husband and I both were instantly impressed - she is so friendly and we could tell that she was an animal lover with the way she interacted with the cats. When the check-ins began, Hannah updated us to say how every visit went and she even included multiple pictures. It was the best!!! The whole experience with Hannah was professional, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend her.”
13. Lola K.
“Having grown up with dogs and cats her whole life, Lola has the compassion and knowledge for taking care of animals of all kinds! She genuinely cares for everyone’s pets as if they were her own! Lola is using her passion for the caring of animals and will be starting the vet tech program in the fall and hopefully then pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. She is definitely someone I would trust to take care of my animals!”
14. Merideth B.
“Meri has watched my dog Paisley, a lab mix, for many years. She loves giving cuddles on the couch. She has walked Paisley though all types of weather, including thick wet snow. Meri helped with the transition from kibble to freeze dried raw. She can give him medication and help clean his ears. I love how much she cares about Paisley's happiness.”
15. Joylyn W.
“Loved all the pics I received, looks like my babies were well taken care of & had fun with Joylyn.”
16. Kharma P.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)
17. Lori B.
“Lori was wonderful with my dog!! Highly recommend I got a picture on every walk . It was nice to see her while we were away”
18. Brendan C.
“Brendan takes care and looks after our two girls like they were his own. We really appreciate it!!”
19. Mariana G.
About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I took care of our dog for at least 5 years up until he passed away. I have been learning to train dogs as well. I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, and I have extra time and love to give to dogs that need a place to stay. I have a partially fenced in yard that is on the process of being fixed/finished. I can easily separate dogs if needed. I will provide walks as long as weather permits.

“Sharon did an excellent job watching my cats over the Thanksgiving holiday while I was out of town. The cats loved her and the literbox and food was well taken care of.”
