“Sandra was absolutely awesome. Great updates, very communicative and I think our home was cleaner when she left then it was when she arrived! Definitely will book again anytime we travel!!”

3. Frank "Kevin" A.

“This was my first time using Rover and finding Kevin was fate! My sweet girl Rue is high-anxiety and can't be boarded when I have to leave town so I typically have to drive to VA to leave her with a family member - not any more thanks to Kevin! When we had our meet and greet, she sat by his side the whole visit (very unusual) and I knew he was the one. While I was away I knew she was in good hands but me being the high-maintenance mommy I am, I needed daily reassurance from Kevin which he accommodated beautifully. I came home to a happy and relaxed Rue who hated to see Kevin leave! I will definitely be a repeat customer!”


4. Isaac E.

“We've booked Isaac multiple times and he was excellent. We had a new dog and kitten and he came through for us and handled the new animals like they were his own. We are always able to travel and not have to worry about our fur babies because we know they will be safe and happy under Isaacs care!”




5. Amanda S.

“Amanda was really great! We needed a sitter for our two dogs for two days this week. Our dogs had never had a sitter before other than our son, and they are very scared of new people. They took to Amanda right away. She was really great with the dogs, and even sent us pictures. We will definitely be calling her again when we need a dog sitter.”


6. Christine M.
“Christine is a wonderful person and truly great with animals. She has a heart of gold and will go the extra mile for your pets’ needs. She is a great communicator and has always managed her time well. Christine is extremely trustworthy and you will have no problems inviting her into your home. I would highly recommend Christine for your pet care needs!”


7. Sandy B.

“Sandy is amazing!!! I would recommend her to anyone if I could give 10 stars I would! Sandy sent photos and kept us updated on how Harley (our dog) was doing along with Thor our Chinchilla. She spent time during rain/thunderstorms calming him down and making sure he had his medication, walks, golf cart rides and playtime!”


8. Susan C.

“Susan was amazing! She took good care of our boys and provided plenty of play time for our crazy guys. Super communicative and provided daily updates! definitely recommend!”


9. Michaela D.

“Michaela got back to me quickly to house sit and keep an eye on our pups. Sadly, our elderly lab passed before she was set to watch them. She was very sweet and patient with me as I was very stressed leaving our younger Aussie doodle behind, she’s never been without our lab and def not without both our lab and us. She kept us updated and was flexible with her time. She even came and spent extra time when we were going to be late knowing I was nervous about her adjusting to being alone. We came home to a happy dog and clean house. We are very grateful and would love to have Michaela help us with Lilly again in the future now that they’re buddies!”


10. Rebekah B.
“Rebekah has been dog sitting for us for the past 2.5 years. I'm able to enjoy my trips knowing that my babies are in great hands. She always updates me and sends me daily pics. I have her watch my cats, dogs, hamster and bearded dragon and she does great with all of them. My black cat does NOT like anyone but my husband and I, but she LOVES Bekah. Definitely recommend her as a sitter 10/10”


11. Vivi S.

“Vivi was exceptional from our meet & great to our arrival back home. She appreciates clear instructions and follows them all. She communicated her arrival/departures and any scheduled duties timely and included pics to ease our mind. The home & pets were cared for as if all were her own. Her calm demeanor is what all pets (& parents) crave. We will book Vivi again if her schedule meshes with ours.”


12. Nina A.
“I’ve used Nina multiple times for house sitting to take care of my dog. My husband and I are dual military and sometimes are schedules conflict. She’s always there in the event I have to get called to duty. She sends pictures, gives me updates and leaves me knowing my dog is in good hands while I’m away. Nine is very trustworthy and someone I can always count on!”


13. Susan V.
About: I love animals and will treat yours like my own! We will play and walk and have fun together! I can accommodate special needs as well . We have a doggy door so your pet can go in our large fenced in yard as he or she pleases. We walk every afternoon in our neighborhood. If you prefer your dog crated, that works as well. I have 2 friendly dogs. Your dog can be crated at your request, otherwise he or she is free to roam as long as friendly and house trained.


14. Lindsay R.
“Lindsay did an amazing job with our three babies! She kept the house just how we left it and consistently sent us pictures and updates while we were away! 10/10 would recommend ?”


15. Sarah L.
“Hi. Sarah “Grace” as we call her, is an amazing care giver to all animals. She grew up having all the small animals one has in their household. Examples are cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and birds. In our home she was the main care giver and instigator of all our animals. She has great compassion and love for them. All of our neighbors called on her to take care of their pets while they were away. Once she got a car all of her friends parents and our friends had her all over town taking care of their animals. She would even bring some of the animals home for a week at a time to take care of them. She is dependable and loving and I highly recommend her.”
