1. Kimberly Q.

“Kimberly is the best dog sitter we have had for our Yorkiepoo ... Zoey! She treats her pet care business professionally by initiating contact to confirm we are all set 3 days before her house sitting dates, communication, photos and videos of Zoey's activities of the day, and she professionally follows up with communication after the house sitting dates. She is detailed in many aspects which I very much appreciate in Zoey's care and our house. During her stay, Kimberly noticed our neighbors putting out their trash cans and texted us to see if we wanted her to pull ours out to the curb. Kimberly brought a dog puzzle for Zoey and it was fun to watch the video of Zoey working the puzzle. Within 24 hours Zoey was already asking for belly rubs which is record breaking and a testament to Kimberly's care, style, and energy. You can tell Kimberly is nurturing in her care of our little baby. I'm a helicopter dog mom, so I am grateful knowing how well Zoey was taken care of during her 5 night stay. We will use Kimberly again for my peace of mind!”




2. Kim S.

“Kim Is wonderful! Her services are invaluable to me. She is so professional and completely trustworthy. She is calm and responsible. She understands animal body language and did a fantastic job with my strong-willed breed. Kim is dedicated to caring for your pet and goes above and beyond - she came to check on Luna a day early and made herself available in case of emergency. Excellent communication with status reports and pictures and videos. She even put the bed sheets in the washer! Be assured that your pet will be very well taken care by Kim. I highly recommend her and anyone that has the chance to work with her is very lucky! Thank you so much Kim! You Rock!”




3. Jamie F.


“This was our first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jamie is very kind hearted and our two fur babies enjoyed their time with her. One of our pups usually does not immediately take to people and she went right over to Jamie and visited with her a couple of times during our meet and greet prior to hiring Jamie. Jamie was fine with the instructions we left for feeding, walking, and how to make our fur family feel less stressed by keeping their routine. We already have Jamie scheduled for two more trips we have coming up. Thanks for your help Jamie. ☺️”


4. Sam S.

“First time Rover user but Sam was on-time even after we asked her to come extra early, left the house clean and our dog Mowgli seems to be very happy.”


5. Katie B.


“Katie did SO awesome with Kali! She asked me really great questions about her and her habits, she sent pictures and updates and gave her her meds correctly. Kali ran over to her to say goodbye when she was leaving, so I know she took good care of her 🥰 I would definitely recommend her!”


6. Kathy B.

“Kathy did a great job with our 2 furbabies, she sent messages and photos frequently, we would trust her with them again in the future. Thank you Kathy...”


7. Ruth S.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”

“Another perfect job!!”


11. Danielle T.
“Danielle was amazing! She kept me informed on how my dogs are doing and she made sure to give my elder dog her medication in the mornings and at night and sometimes during the day if she needed it. Danielle was very responsive and she kept my house, clean and tidy, definitely use her again”


12. Jessica K.

“Jessica was terrific. Our dog is scared of people and takes time to warm up to new people. Jessica handled it perfectly. We would definitely request her again.”


13. Donna F.

“Donna was the best find on Rover! We interviewed a few people and just didn’t feel comfortable until we found her. She showed up when she said, our pups loved her, and we are so thankful for her. 😊”


14. Cher S.

“Cher was wonderful with our Zoey. Zoey is my ESA and sometimes has seperation anexity. She was so patient and understanding. Even gave me a music playlist to help Zoey. If you want someone to trust with your fur babies it would be her. Highly recommended.”




15. Kimberly G.

“I lucked out finding Kim at the last minute. She was able to take care of the dog with a two day notice which was amazing. She kept me updated throughout the stay and even left me a note at the end that wrapped everything up so that I didn’t have any questions about how it went. I would most certainly recommend her but also book her again myself. I’ll already Recommended her to neighbors and friends.”


16. Erin F.


“Erin is great with our little Daisy and she definitely left the house in tip top shape (better than it was left). We will continue to be a repeat customer. Thank you, Erin.”


17. Klency P.
“I have previously entrusted Klency’s services to care for both of my bulldogs, who require specialized attention due to their breed. She was consistently punctual in administering their medications and remained highly responsive, providing frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages. Her attentiveness and professionalism gave me peace of mind, making my work trips significantly less stressful, knowing my pets were in capable hands. Additionally, my dogs were always excited to see her, which reassured me that they had a positive and comfortable experience under her care. I’m happy to recommend Klency to Rover ensuring she is a trustworthy person and true animal lover.”

20. Danielle D.

“Danielle was awesome once again! She stayed at our place with Dakota for our short trip to Key West. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the weekend.
