1. Jordan M.
“Jordan is great with my dog and kitty as always! Very attentive, takes quality pictures, and gives the most fun/descriptive write-ups for every session. I find myself eagerly waiting to read every Rover card. Book with Jordan to experience quality care for your beloved pets!”
2. Kimberly T.
“Kimberly has gone above and beyond this week for me and my pup. My pup has been having some stomach issues and Kimberly gave me multiple suggestions to try before going to the vet and spending all the money on a visit. On top of that she gave me something of hers that she uses on her dogs to help them. She truly is an amazing person who loves your dog like her own. I cannot say enough positives about Kimberly.”

“Brittany is amazing! She is extremely professional and even brought some home made treats for my pup pup. My dog took to her immediately and loved their walkies together.”
7. Angela Y.
“Good communication. We had coordinated a broader time window instead of the exact appointment time on Rover. She was only going to be a minute or two off the exact time due to circumstances outside her control, but still let me know.”
8. Briana H.
“I hired Briana to walk my dog, Gus, as I recovered from surgery. He absolutely adores her! They took a nice long walk on his favorite trail and she took the nicest pictures of him enjoying his outside time. I will be hiring her again in the future.”
9. Leah H.
“Leah was a wonderful backup dog walker for me. She and my dog, Yen, got along great. It's so cute to see Yen greet and tell her goodbye. Leah was prompt, friendly and professional. I am happy with my choice.”
10. Gaby G.
About: Hi, my name is Gaby and I am a big animal lover, but dogs are definitely the best. Throughout the years, I have had many different dog breeds and now currently have a Doberman and Japanese Akita. I love all dogs and believe there is no such thing as an aggressive breed, just a misunderstood pup. I currently have the ability to be readily available any time of the day. This allows me to cater to your loving pups needs and daily/weekly routine. I read the instructions left by you the owner very thoroughly to ensure the safety of your pup throughout our interaction. I want to ensure your pup feels extremely comfortable throughout the entire process.
11. Victoria V.
“Victoria (Torrie) has watch our dog Gus for many years. She is a loving, dependable and pet health conscious individual...she has feed, walked, bathed and given medication to our Golden Retriever for many years for short and long durations. I would recommend her anytime to pet watch/sit for dogs as well as cats. She well be welcome addition to your organization Dora C.”
12. Sarah R.
“Sarah was, once again, AMAZING with my little fur family. Between her sweet, caring messages and the adorable pics she’d take, I knew my babies were in the best hands. She was communicative the whole time and put my mind at ease while I was away. This is my second time with Sarah and she has quickly become an integral part of any travel plans I make 100/10”
13. Jessica C.
“Jessica was very organized and extremely reliable. She went over everything (and more) that we needed to touch on at our meet and greet. As walks went on, she was very communicative, and worked with me to come up with creative ideas on how to manage my dog’s significant fears. He was an abused rescue, so he is shy and gets easily scared of noises and people. I will definitely be having her walk again!”
14. Breanna K.
“Bree has cared for our dog and cat many times she treats them with love and kindness. She has even managed to help our once abused dog to play and enjoy life again.Bree is very caring person and the animals can sense it which makes them love her back. Her compassion and empathy towards animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy and loving pet sitter.”
15. Alexis Z.
“Alexis was so good with my big boy! He took to her immediately. ? She provided great updates on how he was doing and took great care of him. Highly recommend her to look after your fur babies! I will definitely be using her services again.”
16. Tia L.
“Tia is so thoughtful, responsible, and clearly loves our dogs. She sends the best messages and pics, and goes above and beyond the basics (like scooping poop from our own yard and bagging it). My only complaint is that I wish Rover would allow us to give more than a 30% tip!”
17. Jade V.
“Great communication and very helpful with taking care of my dog when he was sick.”
18. Raven J.
“Raven was super responsive and very flexible with my schedule. She did an awesome job walking my dog and followed the instructions I left. Will be booking her again. I highly recommend her for the great care of your pet!”
19. Emery T.
“He’s very sweet and kind to her and loves to indulge her in tug of war and belly rubs! With his relaxed demeanor and reliability, he’d be great choice for any pet owner!”
20. Shemoy S.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. My siblings and I used to feed and care for stray cats in our neighborhood. And after getting my own pet Spike at 10 I started dog/cat sitting for my family members. As an adult I’ve long since moved away from my childhood home and unfortunately had to leave spike behind as my parents have grown very fond of him. However I’ve adopted and cared for senior cats as a way to make them comfortable as they near the end of their journey. I now have 2 cats of my own that I took in as strays and I would do anything for those girls. I have a very flexible schedule. I’m available weekdays and weekends as well as overnight. I typically respond within an our more often less depending on if I’m with pets or not as I like to give my undivided attention when I’m with furbabies I don’t know very well as some can be a bit cheeky. I will always ask for feeding schedules, likes and dislikes or overall personality traits. I never scratch or touch at first without the pet’s showing that they are ok with being touched. I like to give my pets all my attention and try to provide them with plenty of play and enrichment.
