1. Annie J.

“Annie did great with my dogs. The bonded to her quickly and would cuddle up next to her every time she was there. Annie sent pictures as requested. I will be using her services again.”


2. Kolton C.

“Kolton was fantastic! Provided daily updates and photos. I always said I would NEVER use Rover due to the horror stories I have heard but after this time, I will definitely use it again, Kolton specifically. He gained my trust almost instantly after the first time he came to visit both my dogs before we left for a week. I cannot say enough good things about him. If you are hesitant about booking him, DON’T BE!”


3. Renae D.

“Renae was an excellent pet/house sitter. She was kind, loving and attentive to our pet, while being communicative to us while away. Renae has a great, engaging personality and I would recommend her to anyone on this site.”


4. Rachel T.

“Whew...this was our first time having someone dog sit for us, let alone stay at our house to do it. Rachel was AMAZING. She was personable, professional, very responsive, and sent lots of pictures and updates (we were gone for 8 days). Our dog was clearly well loved and cared for. We would recommend Rachel to our friends and family, and will certainly hire again!”


5. Megan E.

“We recently had Megan stay overnight to take care of our two dogs, and she did a fine job! Picture and text updates let us know we had nothing to worry about. I will definitely be requesting Megan's services again in the future!”


6. Meghan C.


“From first meeting Meghan I felt comfortable for the first time leaving my cat, Ladybug, for a week and a half (the first time I’d left her with someone she didn’t already know). I was so happy to have found someone who could both housesit and care for Ladybug so that she didn’t have to be alone. Meghan sent me a picture and update everyday. She even cleaned after herself and I came home to a clean house with a happy, relaxed Ladybug. I couldn’t have asked for anything better. Thank you, Meghan! (P.S. My sister wants to hire you next time she travels!)”




7. Michele M.

“Michelle did a great job watching our Gracie. She stayed at the house with her and even watered my wife's plants while we were gone. I will definitely use her again the next time we need a dog sitter.”


8. Ashley T.

“Ashley was absolutely fantastic! She watched my two dogs overnight. My newest pup had some anxiety and acted aggressively and Ashley was great, she kept me updated and worked with Oliver to make him more comfortable. Couldn’t recommend enough!”


9. Briana N.
“My dogs very nervous around new people but she had no problem being in Bri’s care. They sent lots of pictures and updates of my dog while I was out of town and I could tell she had lots of fun with Bri. I’ll definitely book with Bri again.”


10. Alyssa F.
“Alyssa is a pet lover. She is phenomenal with cats and dogs and is very nurturing. She has tons of energy and would be great for any family.”


11. Kylie M.
“I am thrilled to recommend Kylie for a position with Rover. As her roommate, I’ve seen firsthand how responsible, caring, and attentive she is with animals—especially cats and dogs. As I've seen how she interacts with her own cats and dogs at home and even with my own dog. Kylie has a natural way with animals as she has a lot of experience working at vet clinics/hospitals and also volunteering with service dogs. She is very organized and very good with schedules she is always early to the occasion and makes sure everything she does is thought out and done carefully and thoroughly. She is also incredibly reliable and trustworthy, which gives pet owners peace of mind when leaving their furry friends in her care. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your animals with the same level of love and responsibility as their owners would, Kylie is the perfect fit. I wholeheartedly recommend her for this role, and I know she will be a valuable addition to Rover. Sincerely, Johanna”


12. Georgia M.

“Great sitter! My dog has a medical condition and she took care of him just as instructed. She took him for walks even in the bitter cold. I will book her again! Thank you Georgia for taking such good care of my pet!”


13. Amanda K.


“Amanda was awesome! She was super nice and communicative the whole time. She updated me with photos of my pets as well. Highly recommend!”


14. Payton H.

“Payton was amazing with our German Shepherd and Chineranian. She was attentive to all their senior quirks including medication distribution and diaper duty. Payton had great communication and really gave our pups a whole lotta love!”


15. Jenna S.

“Jenna is a real sweetheart! We had her stay overnight to watch our 2 dogs and one kitten for two nights, and when we came home, everyone seemed happy, well taken care of, and tired, so they must have been playing hard! The house looked the same as we left it, and everything seemed to go smooth. Jenna communicated back to me on her stay and sent pictures. I really appreciate having someone to trust watching over the house and the furry family!”


16. Jacey G.
“Jacey loves animals and is very sweet with them. She has taken care of my cat plenty of times and my cat adores her! Jacey is very kind, reliable, and hardworking and I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”


17. Sara H.
“Sara and her daughter Alayna stayed the night at our house with our dog Dublin and I couldn’t be happier with them!! My boy clearly got the love and affection he needed while we were away. The pics I received showed a happy pup and my home was spotless when we got back. Thank you Sara for taking such great care of my anxious boy”


18. Jennifer D.

“Jennifer took great care of my dog. She provided updates and photos. Good communicator. Would definitely recommend her and will use her again.”


19. Kendall M.
About: I've dog sat for many years. I have had 5 consistent clients who always contact me if they need a sitter. I have a good understanding of animal care and needs as a pre-vet student. In addition I have a good understanding of what is expected when working with pets. I also am a student trainer for service dog organization Paws Giving Independence and have learned lots about dogs from this. Through this program I also fostered a puppy, Sherman, and learned a great deal about puppies and how to train them for basic house manners. I am a pre-vet student at ISU. My classes are not super time consuming currently so I have lots of availability. I am an ISU cheerleader however sports season is over so we no longer have lots of commitments only weekly practice. Lots of experience with kenneling dogs and working on kenneling. I personally have a kennel in my house and am allowed pets in my apartment. Lots of experience with in home pet care and am willing to do whatever is needed whether that is picking up waste, giving medication, baths, anything that is needed!
