1. Makayla R.
“Makayla is the best! Fast responses. Great updates and communication. Our pup felt super loved by their care. Thank you for adjusting for us :)”
2. Robyn & Steven G.
“This was my second time booking Robyn and Steven and i couldn't be happier! They do a great job with my pets and my home is always cleaner when I return than it was when I left. They both went crazy when Robyn stopped by to get the key. They love her so much and were so excited to see her. I will definitely book them for my next trip and every trip after! I am so happy that I found such a sweet, wonderful, animal loving couple to make my travels a little stressful. At least I never have to worry about my home or my pets being safe and well cared for.”
3. Cindy C.
“Cindy was amazing as always! She even did us a personal favor and accommodated us when we had some last minute flight changes. I don’t know what we would have done without her, and we are incredibly grateful to have someone like her to watch our puppy when we need to go out of town. She sends great pictures and we always feel so at ease leaving Dove in her care.”
4. Scott T.
“Scott was absolutely amazing and I highly recommend him for you dog sitting needs. He took Hugo on multiple long walks and hung out with him during the day. He also brought him to Brewhound for some play time. We loved all the pictures, videos and tracked walks as well. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We felt at ease knowing our pup was being cared for by Scott.”
5. Laura S.
“She was great!! I felt safe leavig our spoiled and moody Coco "the cat" with her. Coco was well taken care and loved her visits. She is honest and caring. Initially, I was scared to leave my empty home to an "stranger", but as soon as we met her I felt we where making the right decision to trust her. And we where right!! I will use her services again soon. Thank you Laura! ”
6. Shana S.
“Shana is a fantastic, pleasant, professional, thoughtful person who gave our pets the love & attention they needed while mom & dad were out of town! She kept in touch & gave us updates. She even sent pictures. We are so happy with the way she cared for our home as well!”
7. Kathryn J.
“Couldn’t be happier with the decision to try Rover! Kathryn was great at communicating and sharing Duke’s experience while we were away. As a paranoid dog owner I will never send him back to lodging. If you’re looking for someone to take great care of your dog and keep your mind at ease definitely go with Kathryn!”

“Kiersten did much more than the minimum required of her to make sure our dog felt comfortable and had a friend.”
13. Johana M.
“Fantastic temperament! My female poodle was not used to a housesitter and decided to spend the first day and a half barking and Johana handled it well. Would HIGHLY recommend her!”
14. Dillon H.
“First time letting someone watch my dogs in my own place, and it was a positive experience. Dillon followed directions well, everything seems to be as they were, and my dogs also seem normal. I appreciated the fact he messaged me a couple days before the booking to let me know he was looking forward to meeting us. One of my dogs will bark and growl at new people, and Dillon showed no fear, allowing my dog to warm up sooner than later. I was updated with a photo the next day, reassuring me everything was ok, and was able to enjoy my vacation. Dillon was communicative, friendly, respectful, and neat. Thanks again!”
15. Hampton S.
“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”
16. Anna E.
“Anna did great with my pups and I highly recommend her for anyone looking. I have two very different dogs (husky+yorkie) who have wildly different needs and she was able to give them both the care and attention they need.”
17. Pam C.
“Pam was amazing with our fur babies - i got updates on who ate and how they were acting. She made sure they all got extra love and attention.”
18. Vannia H.
“Vannia was awesome. I felt so comfortable knowing she was caring for my little girl, Piper. She is accommodating and communicates regularly. I will most definitely use her again.”
19. Ashley T.
“Ashley stayed with our pack of floofs for two weeks while my husband and I were out of the country. She treated our pets like her own and took wonderful care of our home. We received regular updates and photos and felt very at ease knowing all was taken care of. Highly recommend contacted Ashley, whether for check-ins on your animals, or full on house and pet sitting needs.”
20. Ernest K.
“Simple and easy interactions. Good updates via text and photos. Positive energy w/pets. No issues. Recommend and would hire again.”
