1. Kaitlin D.

“Kaitlin was absolutely incredible! She stepped in at the last minute when another sitter fell through and completely saved us. She was extremely responsive, took amazing care of our two dogs, cat, and five ducklings, and left our home spotless. We came back to very happy and well-cared-for animals, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I would highly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


2. Anna F.

“Anna was AMAZING! First time we’ve met her or worked with her, but we would now HIGHLY recommend her! She is a great communicator. She took our 1.5 year old pup on many adventures (walks around pond, in the woods, etc.)—even more than we usually can! She pilled and cared for our elderly cat like a pro. Both our boys were happy and healthy after her 8 days with them. But the cherry on top was how clean and tidy and well cared for she left our home! Floors vacuumed, sink scrubbed, towels and sheets (and even bathmats) washed/changed. We look forward to having Anna housesit for us again!!!”


3. Elijah H.

“Elijah was polite and friendly to us and our reactive rescued pocket bully. He was willing and able to handle her complex feeding instructions, walking peccadillos, and anxieties about people and dogs. Farah looked more relaxed with him in photos he sent than she did with her last pet sitter. Elijah also offered to do any light housekeeping chores we needed, wiped down counters before he left, and even did his own laundry and made up the bed again. Highly recommend!”


4. Georgia R.

“It is clear that Georgia loves animals. Our dog was well cared for, the house was spotless on our return, and she kept in touch throughout our trip. Would have back in a heartbeat!!”


5. Lorrie L.

“Laurie was awesome and exactly what we needed for our fur babies. We have a 130lb 2.5yr old Rottweiler full of spunk and an almost 20yr old cat who typically hides from newcomers. Both were well taken care of and loved like family. Our home was also well taken care of. We got daily updates. Definitely would book again!”


6. Sarah L.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family since I was a kid but more frequently in recent years. I also grew up owning cats and a dog. I have experience exercising high energy dogs and practicing some training. As a healthcare provider, I’m detail-oriented, responsible, and compassionate—perfect for pet care! I’m experienced in recognizing needs, providing comfort, and ensuring pets feel safe and well-cared for. I work full time Monday through Friday but am available before/after work for pet care. I work early days MWF and late days Tuesday and Thursday. I am also available all day on the weekends. I am happy to stay in your home to look after your pets and will closely follow any instructions that you give. I can feed them, will walk/exercise them daily and can crate them if you prefer.


7. Ben Jin J.
“I am pleased to recommend Ben for Rover as a dog walker and pet sitter. Ben is a trustworthy and responsible individual who has a natural way with animals. His kindness, patience, and attentiveness make him an excellent choice for anyone seeking reliable pet care. Ben has a genuine love for animals and takes the time to ensure they are comfortable, well-cared for, and happy. Whether it’s going for long walks, providing companionship, or ensuring pets are safe and well-fed, he goes above and beyond to meet their needs. His attention to detail and dependable nature give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their furry friends are in great hands. I highly recommend Ben for any pet care needs on Rover. He would be a fantastic addition to the community, and any pet in his care will be treated with the love and respect they deserve. Sincerely, Abby”


8. Anna W.

“Anna was great!! We were gone on an extended trip, and she took great care of our three kitties. She was great with providing updates and gave our cats lots of love. Definitely would book with Anna again!”


9. Alyson K.
“Alyson is one of my dear friends because she has an upbeat and fun personality and is extremely loyal. She is an extremely likable person. She especially loves dogs and presents with that assertiveness and confidence that is necessary when training dogs as they become an important part of the family or whatever their role may be. She cares deeply about everything that she invests her time in gives 100% all the time. I am excited for her to start this new journey in her life.”


10. Deborah B.

“Deborah took such wonderful care of my kitty Leo while we were away for 10 days. She stayed in our home ànd sent me text updates with pictures during her stay. It was clear from the pictures of Leo snuggling on her lap that he was very comfortable and she loving with him. Upon our return, Leo was just as affectionate with us as before. Deborah also left our home as clean as when we left. We're planning on having Deborah stay in our home again soon to care for Leo. It was a wonderful experience having her here and we felt Leo was comfortable and happy as well!!”


11. Elizabeth C.

“Elizabeth is warm, responsive and professional. As soon as I met her, I trusted that my pup would be in good hands during our short trip out of state. And he was. We will definitely seek her assistance again!”


12. Laura B.

“My babies are everything to me. We hardly travel without them because we haven’t found anyone yet who can or is willing to care for them in a way that I’m content with. Enter Laura. Laura proves her trustworthiness by her excellent care and communication before booking. She is very competent regarding what I feel to be more complex pup situations. Added bonus, she is active and is able to give my high energy pups a good amount of exercise. My partner and I were able to have a fantastic time away without any worries. I am thrilled with Laura, and hope she is interested in working with us again!”


13. Donna P.

“Donna took wonderful care of our sweet but anxious older pup. Hoping to be able to work with Donna again in the future!”


14. Zachary B.

“As Zach’s roommate, i’ve seen how great of a dog dad he’s been to his 9 month old puppy, Alfie. If I had a dog myself, i’d put my full trust in him as a dog walker.”


15. Alysa W.

“The absolute best!! Alysa took care of our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. She was communicative, sent pictures, and kept our dogs super active and happy :) We were able to truly relax on vacation knowing our dogs were in such responsible and trustworthy care. Alysa also dealt with some unexpected issues that came up at our house like a total pro. She is 100% awesome!”


16. Allie F.

“We booked Allie for a second time to watch our dogs, and she did just as amazing as the first time! Its really clear how much she cares about our animals while we are there and is very respectful of our space. There will most definitely be a third booking!”


17. Benjamin Z.
“Benjamin has farm sat for me several times while we were away on trips, as well as filling in with chores when needed. Our animals include our Great Pyrenees dog, poultry, pigs, and. Every time he has treated our animals with the utmost respect and asked pertinent questions when anything comes up. Benjamin has an intuition and connection with animals that we trust under his care, and we will continue to request his assistance!”


18. Kelly D.

“I highly recommend Kelly for any housesitting needs. Our little dog, who is very shy with new people, warmed up to her very quickly and it was so nice not to have to worry while we were away.”




19. Meghan F.


“Meghan was amazing! This was our first rover experience and she made it a seamless process! Our dogs were well cared for and she updated us throughout. Will definitely call on her again!”
