“Alex was very prompt to respond to my request for a last-minute booking, took good care of my dog, sent detailed updates, and asked questions as needed. Alex was very professional in all aspects of communicating and completing visits.”
2. Mitch C.
“Mitch is the BEST! If you are debating who to use; use Mitch! He was able and willing to take over providing care for my dog last minute after the previous Rover sitter left my dog alone for over 24 hours. He made sure my dog was safe and given love and care. Mitch was a quick and clear communicator. Mitch sent me lots of pictures, videos and updates. Whole heartedly recommend Mitch!!”

“Great communication. Pictures and updates every day. Cats were happy and healthy when we got back from a road trip. A+”
4. Jordan G.
“Jordan has petsat for me a few times. My dog Clarence is very high energy, and requires a lot of walks and attention and I know that Jordan can be trusted every time I need to get out of town! He's very responsible and reliable, and I'd trust him with any pet.”
5. Jaime B.
“Jaime is a very responsible and loving pet caregiver. Jaime grew up with multiple dogs, one being a large German Shepherd who was wonderfully tempered but very excited anytime came around. That has helped her look after other big dogs who maybe be nervous or excited around new people. She also owns two cats so she is very good with both types of pets. She used to have a small apartment so she is very good at cleanliness, making sure litter is clean, and that pets have enough exercise and enrichment! Jaime loves animals and is very attentive to if they’re happy, sad, or acting unwell. She loves them very much and would be great watching anyone’s animal!”
6. Grace L.
“Grace took the absolute best care of our cats while we were out of town. She is super sweet and our cats warmed up to her right away! We couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter! We will definitely book her again if she’s available! Thank you so much! 😊”

About: EXPERIENCE : 3 years vet camp and pet sitting I want to help owners feel comfortable leaving their pets for a period of time and not worry about their beloved pets while they are away. I have done a vet camp for three summers in high school for experience and have pet sat in the past. Let me know if I can care for your beloved pet. I am able to stop into your house and care for your beloved pet once to two times a day a few days a week (or more if needed). I care for dogs by taking them potty, and a short stroll while going potty. Then I play with them in the house and pet and spend a little time with them so they have some human interaction.
8. Katherine W.
About: I've grown up with dogs, cats and all the different kinds of furry friends. I have taken care of all different types of dogs, including those with special needs such as wheelchairs, diapering, medication and bladder expression! I have been a foster and volunteer for multiple shelters and rescues over the past 8+ years and have taken care of dogs as young as one month up to 10+ years old! I work full time, but dogs do not go more than 6-8hrs without being let out to potty and during the day have free range to go in and out, as well as play! If boarded, pets would be crated away from my resident dogs for their safety! I also keep an air horn and water bottle for any potential situations. I have a secure, fenced in backyard and my house sits back off the road away from traffic and noise!
9. Laura P.
“We were nervous to leave Davidson but Laura eased our worries. She sent updates,pictures and notes on him daily. She was wonderful with him and played with him. She even brought our garbage cans in! We will use her next time we travel. Highly recommend.”
10. Megan L.
“Megan has been an excellent dog sitter for my German Shepherd, Flex, for 2 years now. And he loves her so much, he goes into mourning usually for 48 hours after she leaves. She’s great about communicating while we’re away, and asking questions if anything comes up. She’s also has saved us last minute on trips that have come up expectedly. You can trust her to do a great job.”
11. Karina & Holly G.
“Omg Karina and Holly are AMAZING!!! Our boys absolutely love the both of you so much! You will forever be welcome in our home! I can’t wait to book our next trip so Brantley and Jaxxson can see you again! Thank you again so much we are so grateful! ❤️”
12. Amanda S.
“I can't say enough positive things about Amanda and her drop-in play dates and dog walking services! It's clear that she genuinely adored spending time with my Jacob. Her enthusiasm and care for my dog were evident in every interaction. Not only did she ensure my dog got plenty of exercise and playtime during visits, but she was also willing to give Jacob his medication. I'm beyond grateful for the peace of mind she provides knowing my dog is loved by her and being taken care of. Highly recommend Amanda for all your doggie play date and walking needs!”
13. Shelby S.
“Shelby was so great with a drop in visit for our new puppy while we were gone during the day. Wally loved his playtime with Shelby and she made sure he went potty too!”
14. Kassie P.
“Kassie was amazing! We had several instructions for our dogs and they were followed perfectly. She communicated with us the whole time we were away and even sent pictures! We are so happy to have found her!”
15. Mackey R.
“Mackey took care of our dogs while we were on vacation and did a wonderful job. I would get pictures of them being cute and anytime a either of us had a question we were just a text or call away. Mackey is very responsible and I would recommend them to anyone who needs help with their pets.”
16. Kristina R.
“I’m so glad my daughter recommended I try rover.com. Kristina kept me very well informed, loved on my doggies, brushed and cuddled them, sent pictures and gave me peace of mind. She’s a very dependable young lady and I will use her every time from now on. She not only walked, fed, cleaned up after, but hung out with my dogs. she even swept my floors, I came home to my house cleaner than it was when I left it! I can’t say enough good things about Kristina. (She’s also a good artist, she left a couple of drawings of the dogs which were really good! )”
17. Vergie T.
“I highly recommend Vergie as a responsible and loving pet caregiver and owner. She has consistently demonstrated great care and attention toward our dogs, treating them like her own two. Vergie is dependable and compassionate, always going above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Our dogs adore her, and I feel completely at ease knowing they are in her hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets with care and affection, Vergie is the perfect choice.”
18. Jessie F.
“Jessie takes care of Brooke like she is her own dog. Jessie went above and beyond to calm Brooke's anxiety over being alone. I am so grateful for the love given to Brooke while I was gone!”
19. Sara D.
About: I've had multiple animals in my life ranging from chickens to turtles. I can train puppies and give meds, bathe cats, trim nails and more! Hello! I'm currently a stay at home parent looking for side work! I love working and being around animals, they understand you in their own way. I have 4 cats and 3 dogs along with 2 fish! Clients home: Make sure all water bowls are filled, food is topped off of feeding time. Let animals out, while checking if all gates are closed or leashes/harness is secure on the dog. With cats, clean their litter box, fill water and food, give attention and play with them
20. Michayla B.
About: I'm an animal lover of 25 years, since the day I was born. I've had animals from all walks of like for my entire life. My first pet was a pirana, my first disabled cat I had at 10 years old, the many of my mom's impulse buys and stray animals my house accumulated growing up, to the first pet I ever bought myself (a snake). I have got animal love and experience through the roof basically. I have dealt with administrating medications with injections as well as orally, and I'm not frightened easily. Walking is a breeze and something I'm sure me and the animals can both look forward to. I currently do work a full time position with a set schedule. I will happily work with you and my job to make sure the stay and check ins are a breeze. If your pet is happy, I'm happy. I love a hike through the woods or cuddling on the couch giving some belly rubs. Man's best friend? More like MY new best friend. I will probably spoil them (sorry lol) and take way too many cute pictures of them to show off.
