1. Mie C.
“Mie took care of our two cats for five days and did an exceptional job. Every visit she sent pictures of each cat, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. She even was nice enough to water multiple plants while we were gone as well. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a thriving garden. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and attentive, Mie s the perfect choice. We’ll definitely be booking her again!”

7. Flannery E.
“Flannery was really great with my 8 month old puppy! I felt comfortable and at ease with her caring for my pup. She seems very knowledgeable and experienced.”
8. Laurel J.
“I've known Laurel for many years, and have always trusted her with the care of our pets, ranging from young and very active pups to older dogs that need TLC. Because she is now studying to be a vet tech, she will be bringing even more skills to her pet care practice.”
9. Autumn M.
“Autumn was a good communicator and took great care of our pets!”
10. Grace N.
“Grace was respectful, communicative, and friendly, and she absolutely eased my worries about leaving my senior kitty in the care of somebody else, especially when it was rather last minute! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for reasonably priced and friendly pet sitting services. 🤍”
11. Karlee G.
“Karlee was amazing as always!!! Took arya on a long run.”
12. Audrey H.
“Audrey was great with my dog! He was always so happy when I came home after she visited. He is high energy and she managed to help run him out!”
13. Jess C.
“Jess followed instructions well, including caregiving for my two cats and procedures for home security systems. She arrived within the expected time frame and stayed the scheduled amount of time, frequently a little more. She sent good notes and pictures each visit. She initially arranged a free Rover Meet and Greet visit and came a number of scheduled times as drop-ins for training before the actual caregiving began. I will be glad to book with her again.”
14. Aiden M.
“Arrived on time for training and socializing. Was attentive to instructions and demonstrated kind and gentle behavior towards the cats.”
15. Morgan B.
“This was our first experience with Rover and I could not be more pleased with how great Morgan was with Champ! She met him a few days before the scheduled drop-ins and he immediately started licking her and asking for pets before she even finished coming inside (Champ is normally super shy and barks a lot). Morgan was very communicative and sent several pictures and updates during each drop-in. I hate leaving Champ (I’ve only boarded him three times in his 8 years of life and am always paranoid if he’s not right by me lol) so I was nervous about how it would be for someone else to come into my house to watch him but it was the best decision. Champ hates fireworks so Morgan moved his bedding into the bathroom where he was hiding and she sat in there with him until he calmed down. If I boarded Champ he would’ve been in a kennel near a bunch of other dogs freaking out about the fireworks but Champ got to be in his own home where he feels safe. She went above and beyond any expectations I had. I laid out some pee pads and sure enough, Champ understandably had a couple of accidents because he wouldn’t go outside during the fireworks and Morgan cleaned up without any complaints. I would be thrilled to have Morgan take care of Champ again next time I go out of town!”
16. Carol S.
“Carol Sheppard loves dogs and really cares about them. She would treat other people's dogs just like her own, giving the dogs lots of love and cuddles. I would totally trust Carol and highly recommend her petsitting abilities. She has had dogs throughout her life and understands their needs.”
17. Audrey V.
“Audrey is a lover of all animals! She has two cats of her own that she takes care and always makes sure that they are well fed and loved. There is never a moment that she is not thinking about how the cats may be feeling. Whenever she leaves for a quick weekend trip, she ensures that the cats have someone who will swing by and play with them so the cats don’t feel too lonely! Whenever she is out she is always asking to pet strangers dogs and always asks them for permission before doing so! She is a great caregiver of animals it is no surprise she would be wanting to take care of other people’s animals!”
18. Lindsay S.
“Lindsay was an absolute joy to have as a dog sitter. She’s laid back, accommodating, easy to work with, responsive and friendly. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable person to care for their pets!”
19. Morgan Q.
“I have many pets- 4 cats, 3 dogs, 3 birds and 1 rabbit. Morgan has been my pet sitter on multiple occasions and has done all of the feeding, treating, petting, playing, (walking) and caring for my pets. I have been impressed with how smoothly it has gone when I have hired Morgan. She has followed my instructions to a “T” and in addition, on a few occasions, sent videos of my pets to me doing something cute! This brought me great comfort when I was away on vacation, wondering how all of the critters were doing. Morgan has an incredibly kind and gentle spirit, and absolutely loves animals. If you choose Morgan as a pet sitter, know that your pets will be safe and well-loved! (Be sure to ask Morgan about her beloved cat Micki ;)!”
20. Megan M.
“I can't recommend Megan enough as a dogsitter for my Sammy! She has been incredibly attentive, always making sure Sammy's needs are met and that he feels loved. Her fun and caring nature really shines through in the way she interacts with him, turning every visit into an adventure. Sammy absolutely adores her, and I have complete peace of mind knowing he's in such capable hands. Megan is truly exceptional!”
