11. Carolyn D.
“Carolyn D. deserves a high recommendation because she puts the most thought into anything she does. She’s such a hard worker and always strives to do the best work that she can. She’s one of the most reliable and trustworthy people I know and I would 100% trust her with my dog. She has watched my dog before and when I picked her up, my dog was so content. Everytime my dog sees carolyn, she lights up and is so excited because she knows she will be cared for, played with, fed and taken on a walk. Carolyn is your go to girl for any of your pet sitting needs. :)”
12. Jen S.
“Jen was absolutely wonderful to work with. We went out of town for my husband‘s birthday and we’re able to enjoy our trip without worrying about our babies. We will definitely be looking to connect with her again in the future!”
13. Michelle J.
“I have known Michelle for quite a while now. I know her to be a kind and compassionate person. She is currently taking care of her elderly mother, and this would be a great fit for her in terms of time and responsibilities. My husband and I have always had a dog or two and a couple of cats over our 40+ years of marriage. One knows the type of people that would care for our animals and yours too. I would not think twice in having Michelle care for our crew.”
14. Nikki W.
“In short, hire Ashley. I was initially impressed by her profile as she clearly is very caring and knowledgeable. I appreciated she pointed out the importance of having a skilled professional take care of your fur baby. I can attest this is so incredibly true, even from this very app. I adopted a rescue dog last Monday that was not potty trained nor had any obedience training. After just three house visits from her, he is sitting and laying down! She is remarkable. I initially signed up this week but have requested her service to continue. She is the real deal and I highly recommend hiring her!!”
15. Leigh-Ann J.
“Leigh-Ann has been a great pet sitter for my two bunnies. I completely trust her with them and in my home. She loves animals and I know she will treat every animal she meets with deep love and care.”
16. Sarah F.
“Sarah did a fantastic job with our kitty and I would love to use her again but she is moving out of the area. I would definitely use Rover again.”
17. Cameron L.
“Cameron did a great job taking care of our kitties. She sent pics & kept us updated on how they were doing. She is responsible & dependable. We highly recommend her & wouldn’t hesitate to book with her the next time we are out of town.”
18. Jacob B.
About: I live with 3 dogs and two cats, which I take care of as if they were my children. I have looked after many dogs and cats, and you won’t be disappointed when choosing me to keep your pet as happy as possible while you are gone. I’m available every weekday except holidays. I am currently doing online college which I can take with me anywhere, including your house to be with your pets. I can feed, walk, and play with your dog as much as you need me to. I can handle unique circumstances such as diet restrictions and health issues.
19. Ash K.
“Ashley is a fabulous dog walker and dog sitter. She really takes time to listen to your needs and build a good relationship with you and your dog. My dog loves spending time with Ashley! She is also very reliable and trustworthy. I am very careful about who I let take care of my dog and I can always rest assured that my sweet pup is well taken care of with Ashley 💕!”
