1. Edmy N.

“Edmy and Craig are a huge help to us! Always available and extremely reliable every time. My moody cat is even starting to like Craig. We will use them time and time again.”


2. Tracy E.


“Tracy is the BEST! He’s punctual, he puts in plenty of time with my sick pet, he even notified us when it was obvious someone had been in our house (our roofer). Book with Tracy!”


3. Wes B.
“Wes is fantastic. My dog Sam really enjoys his visits and spending time with the other dogs Wes cares for. It's been a really good experience with Wes! Thank you.”




4. Linda B.


“Consistently excellent. I don't want to flood Linda's reviews with a bunch from me, but she just does SUCH A GREAT JOB. Always does right by our pups, there when we need her, goes the extra mile. Just a lovely, helpful person.”


5. Angie B.

“I can not say enough good things about Angie and how much she has aided in mine and my dogs life! Very willing to work with my crazy schedule and seeing my pup multiple times a day multiple days a week. She has cleaned up my dogs vomit and diarrhea, she fought off a Rottweiler to protect my dog which was so above and beyond her call of duty lol. Although I only saw Angie face to face a few times, she had such a positive impact on my life and brought me so much joy with all of the wonderful pictures she sent me of my goofy girl while I was at work. Her and her pup Wrigley hold a special place in our heart ?”


6. Karisa E.
“Karisa E. is amazing in every way. I’m so thrilled that I booked her for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation for twelve days in Maui. Although I had been happy with other cat sitters that I’ve worked with on Rover, I decided to give Karisa a chance, because she was more affordable. Boy, am I so glad that I did. Karisa bonded with our kitties, Klondike and Sprite, better than anyone I’ve ever worked with before. Sprite, in particular, is very skittish and will hide from pet sitters, but, miraculously, she was happy to let Karisa and her children hold her during visits. Klondike likewise got tons of attention and affection, as evidenced by the many photos Karisa sent. Karisa also took care of watering my many orchids while we were away. Plus, when I forgot to suspend our shipment of frozen meals from The Farmer’s Dog while we were away, Karisa was a lifesaver! Not only did she keep an eye out for the package, but when it arrived, she brought it in out of the hot sun, unpacked it, and stored everything neatly in the freezer for us. I will most definitely be booking her again in the future.”


7. Jennifer T.


“Jennifer is awesome! We have booked with her a couple of times and each time she went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were well taken care of and we could enjoy our vacations without worrying about them. I will definitely recommend her and book with her in the future!”


8. Tonie B.


“Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.”


9. Brooklyn P.

“Brooklyn is awesome. Takes great care of the house and me importantly Edmund, my dog. He now like for her in the guest room! Hahaha. I'd say he's happy with her service as well.”


10. Amelia C.

“Amelia took great care of our 2 dogs and I can say that our puppy is A LOT but she didn’t complain once! She has even agreed to check in on them again. We highly recommend her!”


11. Bree B.

“Bree was fantastic! She took amazing care of Lucy and sent the best updates and photos. Her detailed messages made me feel so comfortable while I was away, and it was clear Lucy warmed up to her quickly. Highly recommend Bree—she’s wonderful!”


12. Emery S.

“Highly recommend…she went above and beyond for my little fur baby! So thankful I chose her for my cat-sitter needs ☺️”


13. Hayley K.
“Hayley is a very responsible young lady. She has watched our 3 house cats for about 5 years. She arrives at the designated time, feeds our cats, gives them clean water and cleans their litter. She always stays and plays with them too. She is very caring and an animal lover. I would highly recommend Hayley as a pet sitter. She will be great in this role.”


14. Emily N.

“I will happily be going back to Emily again to watch my dog! I ended up needing someone to watch my German Shepherd puppy for 3 weeks while I made an emergency trip to Indy to help care for my sick mother. I was very worried leaving my new puppy with a stranger but she was highly recommended by a friend. Emily was great on taking care of Bear like he was apart of her family. He was also only 9 weeks old and not potty trained at the time I dropped him off with her but she managed to have him trained within two weeks to ring a bell and let us know when he needed to go out!! I was very impressed, I also loved the daily updates of pictures and even allowing me to video chat with Bear. I felt very happy with my decision to leave him in her care and could not thank her enough!”


15. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie has been a pet owner for many years. She loves ALL animals! She has a very calm nature and lights up at the sight of any fur baby! She is a kind and compassionate human being and would be excellent with fur babies.”


16. Kim L.
“I HIGHLY recommend Kim Lamley as a pet caregiver! She is excellent with dogs and has always been the best pet owner I’ve known! She treats her dogs as family and is sooo knowledgeable about different breeds and the proper care for them. She has the kindest heart for animals of all kinds and would give everything she had for them. I’ve known Kim for many years and would not hesitate to place my pets in her excellent care.”


17. Breanna H.
“Breanna is my go-to caregiver for my two dogs! My doggos can be a bit of a handful, and her interactions with them have been perfect. She is loving and kind, but doesn't let them take over. I can trust that she will follow through with what I've asked her to do. I also love the pictures she sends me now and then. I highly recommend!”


18. Shari B.


“Shari was a lifesaver!! She went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, even caring for our kitty too! Definitely gave us peace of mind during our trip!”


19. Regina P.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, and have experience with young pers and senior animals! I love getting to know that they are well taken care of. I love to be able to spend my free time with animals and working with them, whether that be pet sitting, walking, or just hanging out with them! In homes, I will make sure that pets are able to use the bathroom as they please, and I will follow the feeding schedule provided to me. I will use only treats that are provided, and use them sparingly!


20. Lindsay B.
“Lindsay is an amazing pet caregiver! She’s responsible, loving, and attentive. Always ensuring pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend her! There’s no one else I’d go to for my pets.”
