10. Joleen P.

“Joleen took care of our dog very gracefully. I booked at the last minute and our dog was greatly welcomed by Joleen, husband and their two dogs which were very friendly and playful for our dog. Our booking was for 9 days and received checkin texts and pictures on our pup with out being having to prompt Joleen to do so. When I had a question, Joleen was very expedient in answering my text. This was my first experience with Rover and it didn’t disappoint. Joleen and her husband are very nice people and enjoyed meeting them. Their house was very dog friendly by having pretty of room to run and play in the fenced in backyard. When we picked up our dog his demeanor was normal and showed he also liked being around Joleen. Would highly recommend Joleen as a sitter.”

17. Mallory H.
“I had the absolute pleasure of having Mallory as a pet sitter, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the level of care and attention they provided for my dog Milo! From the moment I met Mallory, I could tell they had a natural connection with animals and an intuitive understanding of their needs. My dog, who can sometimes be a bit shy or anxious around new people, warmed up to them instantly — that really speaks to Mallory’s calm, kind demeanor. During the time I was away, Mallory was incredibly reliable and responsible. They followed all my instructions to the letter, whether it was feeding times, medication schedules, or making sure Milo got their daily walks and playtime. I also appreciated the daily updates and photos they sent, which reassured me that my pets were in great hands. What truly sets Mallory apart is their genuine love for animals. They went above and beyond to make sure Milo felt comfortable and safe, and it was clear they truly cared about their well-being. I would highly recommend Mallory to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dedicated pet sitter. Milo was happy and content, and I came home to a peaceful household. Thank you, Mallory, for being such an amazing sitter!”


18. Elise B.

“Elise was amazing! She took my booking at the last minute and cared for my dog, Mix, as if he were her own. While I was away, she sent plenty of updates and adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear Mix felt loved and well cared for. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I’ll definitely be booking Elise again in the future. Highly recommend her services!”


19. Jody H.

“Jody took amazing care of our two pups while we were gone for a long weekend. She has a wonderful setup with a fenced in yard for pups to hang out and explore. She provided over the top service feeding my pups eggs when they wouldn’t eat their food and providing a fan for when they came back inside from running around. She was a delight to deal with from start to finish and sent us pictures while we were gone as well. Highly recommend her!! Thanks again Jody!”


20. Sahar B.

“Every time we drop our dogs over there, they come back happy and tired from having a lot of exercise and fun with the other dogs. I would definitely recommend leaving your dog with them. I would definitely use them again also.”
