21. Nicole Q.

“Nicole is simply amazing and the best! I was going away for a week and needed someone to feed and administer medication to our diabetic dog in the morning. We were nervous as no one else had ever taken care of Chloe since she was diagnosed. Nicole came every morning and not only fed and gave Chloe her medication, but was patient, loving, kind and took the time to give cuddles and belly rubs and really make Chloe comfy! Nicole gave me updates and sent pictures and became Chloe's new friend. We have found someone we trust and will be having her come take care of Chloe anytime we are away! Anyone would be lucky to have Nicole take care of their pet.”


22. Sunny L.

“Sunny was able to accommodate a last minute request to take care of our senior cat for a week. Communication was prompt and professional. Appointments times were consistently provided at the time we agreed upon. We received pictures and updates following each appointment. The updates from Sunny reassured us that our cat was well cared for while we were away so we could enjoy our trip. Sunny also brought in a package for us that was delivered while we are away. Thank you Sunny!”


23. Shannon D.


“Second time booking with Shannon and cannot recommend her enough! She takes such good care of the kitties (even during a massive snowstorm!) And they clearly love her.”


24. Emily J.

“Emily is a very capable pet sitter! She was great with our 2 very skittish cats! Her report cards always brought a smile to my our faces knowing that our cats were being so well cared for! Emily is a lovely person ans is very patient when I had so many questions about using Rover for the first time! We will most definitely continue asking Emily to care for our cats when we go away! 10/10 would recommend Emily to anyone who was curious!”


25. Candace M.

“Candace took great care of my shy cat Willow. She left regular check-in cards and made sure Willow was well fed, watered and had a clean litter box. Candace even took out my garbage for me!”


26. Melissa M.

“Melissa has been fantastic! Very professional, prompt, and did a great job looking after my cat. Loved the pictures and stories from her visits. Will definitely book again 🙂”


27. Emily H.
“Emily took care of our beloved tuxedo cat OC for years when we were out of town. She is a responsible, caring individual who LOVES animals of all kinds! Emily made sure to spend some time with OC when checking in and made it a point to learn the little things that brought OC joy. When OC was sick with cancer, we didn’t hesitate to ask Emily to stay with her to ensure she had the best possible care and attention in our absence. I highly recommend Emily as a pet sitter, your fur baby couldn’t be in better hands!”


28. Matthew H.
“I had to urgently leave the country for a month to help take care of my grandmother, got in touch with Matt and he very quickly accommodated my needs. He took amazing care of my dog for the whole month, sent updates on how she’s doing and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, taken care of and well fed/exercised. He was great at communicating with us and dogs too! I had a hard time taking my dog back, she loved him so much. I’d highly recommend him.”


29. Lawrentina D.

“I am so grateful with Tina, she took care of Sanji while we were out on a vacation trip, she is constantly communicating, and sending you the visit pics that’s is such a relief to see your fury baby is well cared. Definitely will ask Tina to come again! Thanks!”


30. Jessica H.
“Jessica is awesome with dogs and cats :) She has been coming out on long dog walks with me and out on dog play dates everyday for 4 months. She is very calm and caring and the dogs are drawn to her :). She has 3 cats of her own and they are very well looked after. She would be a great dog walker and house/ animal sitter I have full trust in Jessica”


31. Jennifer P.

“So happy with the service from Jennifer! This was our first time using Rover and being away from our cats. My husband and I were so anxious but Jennifer made us feel reassured and sent fantastic updates throughout the entire weekend. We are so thrilled and plan on booking with Jennifer in the future.”


32. Elizabeth E.
“Elizabeth has a deep appreciation and understanding for animals of all sizes. She has a gentle approach that makes even the most shy pet open up and feel safe around her. I grew up on a farm and I swear most of the time she only came over to hangout with my animals. Elizabeth is a punctual, reliable and trustworthy pet sitter/dog walker.”


33. Darien F.
“Dee is one of the most caring, empathetic women I’ve ever met. I’ve known her and her previous dog Scout, and enjoyed many a long walk with them both! Not only that, but her experience with wrangling pets also comes in handy wrangling her blended family of 5 kids. So, If you’re looking for someone responsible with experience, flexibility and empathy. I couldn’t recommend a better pet-friend than Dee.”


34. Adam B.


“Adam was great! He was easy to communicate and organize visits with, and he took great care of our cat. He even got some playtime in, and our cat doesn't play with everyone. Would recommend and will book again!”


35. Eden & Jacob R.
“Eden is an excellent pet sitter! She took care of my cat and dog while I was out of town this past summer and did such a wonderful job. I knew I could trust to her to keep my pets well fed, walked, and cared for. She sent me daily photos of my pets and updated me on how they were doing. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter or dog walker!”


36. buluembele c.
“Christian is absolutely amazing with dog, he treated my pup like his own own, giving him so much love, attention, and care. From daily walks and playtime to ensure he felt safe and comfortable, I couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. My dog always came back happy, relaxed, and well taken care of. I highly recommend Christian to anyone looking for someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs.”


37. Meng Chen H.

“Meng were fantastic at keeping everything clean and organized throughout the stay. From fresh water and tidy sleeping areas to maintaining a structured feeding schedule, she made sure every little detail was taken care of. It’s clear she take her role seriously and treat every pet like her own. I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in such a well-maintained and loving environment!”


38. Victoria K.

“Victoria is a fantastic sitter with great communication. We have a grumpy cat and yet our cat seems to do well with Victoria. Highly Recommend.”


39. Rachel C.
“Rachel is by far the best dog sitter. My puppy loves her and she is very punctual when going for daily walks. Overall Highly recommended. I am very pleased that Rachel is my dog-sitter. There are times where I am very busy and sometimes I feel bad that I can't walk my puppy myself every day so whenever I don't have time, Rachel is there to help me out for 30min or an hour a day. Thanks to her, my puppy is a happy puppy.”


40. Piper W.
“Since I have known Piper she has always had a loving soft spot for dogs, especially her two Weimaraners Bruce & Harvey. She is the first to offer to pet sit or walk my two blue heeler dogs, and I would trust her over and over again. She believes all dogs should have unlimited treats mixed with walks and strolls - she is the perfect person to help walk your dog!”
