5. Courtney A.
“Courtney house sits and walks my dog for me whenever I am out of town or need extra help. She and my dog became quick best friends and I know I can 100% trust he is in great hands when she is watching him. Courtney has a real love for all dogs/animals and is a natural caretaker.”


6. Madison H.

“I cannot express enough how grateful we are to have found Madison through Rover! She took care of our three cats—Misty, Grant, and especially our shy little kitten, Maurice—and the experience was above and beyond in every way. Right from the start, Madison’s professionalism and warmth stood out. With her background and experience in animal care and behavior, we felt completely at ease leaving our crew in her hands. Every visit came with incredibly thoughtful, detailed updates—she shared how much they ate, their moods, playtime moments, snuggles, and even any small things she noticed or questions she had. It was clear she was paying close attention to each cat as an individual. But what truly blew us away was the care and patience she showed with Maurice. He’s our shy guy—nervous, unsure, and hesitant around new people. Madison gave him the space he needed, but gently and consistently worked to build trust on his terms. By the end of our trip, we were getting messages about him coming out to play, accepting pets, and even initiating some snuggles (!!). He came out the other side of this experience noticeably more confident and brave—and we truly credit Madison for that transformation. He’s a more courageous little man now, and it means the world to us. We came home to three very happy, relaxed cats and a sense of peace that they had been genuinely cared for. Madison is a gem and we feel incredibly lucky to have had her care for our fur family. We would book her again in a heartbeat—and recommend her to anyone looking for not just a sitter, but someone who will love your pets like their own. 🐱 Hugs from momo binks🖤 + granty boy 🧡+ stinky girl🩶! From the bottom of our hearts THANK YOU!! from Cel & Jake🫶🏽”

“The dogs had a great time! Teri took great care of them for us. She was very sweet and offered to stay with them during a lighting storm - she is great with pets and always thinking of what's best for them.”


8. Renee S.

“We genuinely can’t recommend Renee enough to take care of your furry family members! She went above and beyond in every aspect while caring for our Frenchie. She’ll absolutely be our first point of contact should we need care for him again in the future!”


9. Clarissa T.

“Clarissa has been my petsitter for almost 10 years!! She truly cares about our zoo, 3 large dogs, a cat, 2 birds one is a cockatoo and 3 large fish tanks!! We always knew the babies were safe with Clarissa!!”


10. Susi K.

“Susi was great ! She was very patient with our dog while he was still getting used to her and treated him with extra love and care. We hope to work with her again!”


11. Cody B.
“I have had Cody take care of our dogs and cats for over 15 years. He is such an attentive pet sitter. He treats them like they are his own. There has never been any issues. He handles pets that have special medical issues so wee! I trust my pets to him 100%.”


12. Briana H.
“Briana is the best!! Extremely kind, responsible, and loving, everything you would want in someone taking care of your pet. Briana has watched my 4 year old tuxedo cat, Manny, multiple times when we have gone out of town for several days. Manny absolutely loves her first of all, she is so great with pets! She showed up everyday on time and did exactly what was needed including setting out food and water, cleaning the litter box, and getting quality time playing with Manny. Briana also was great about sending in photos and letting me know how Manny was doing without me having to ask! I absolutely trust and recommend Briana she is so sweet and reliable!!”


13. Carlie O.

“Carlie is amazing! She was so kind and thoughtful to my babies. They both loved her! I recently moved and had to find a new rover sitter - she will be my one foreva!!!! Thank you so much Carlie for being so great!”


14. Sarah & Styles W.

“Sarah is amazing! We had to book with her on very short notice. She was able to come and do a meet and greet right away. We had her do 2 drop ins a day while we were gone and she sent photo updates every time. The dogs loved her, they were fed, played with, and taken care of very well. She even put our garbage can away that we forgot to take up. I would recommend her to anyone! And if the dogs could talk I’m positive they would too!”


15. Chelsea R.
“Every time Queen sees Chelsea she gets so excited about walking and spending time with her . I am so glad with this busy schedule I found someone dedicated and dependable to care for my pet . I look forward to a healthy future together.”


16. Chris T.
“I’ve been using Chris’s to walk my dog dog for a few months now, and I couldn’t be happier! Chris is incredibly reliable, professional, and clearly loves dogs. My pup lights up every time Chris arrives, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such caring hands. Chris always goes above and beyond—whether it’s sending little updates and photos after walks or making sure my dog gets plenty of exercise and attention. I highly recommend this service to any pet owner looking for someone trustworthy and kind. Five stars all the way!”


17. Maren B.

“Maren has taken excellent care of our large greyhound! Greyhounds can be shy and aloof with strangers, but Maren seems to have a natural intuition in engaging with him since the beginning. She is now our regular dog walker/sitter, and she's very communicative, dependable, and personable. All of my instructions are closely followed, and I never have to worry about my pup while she's taking care of him. Lastly, she consistently takes pictures and writes very detailed updates on each walk and visit so I always know what my greyhound is up to. Maren is AWESOME, and I can't recommend her enough!”


18. Karlotta H.

“WONDERFUL.”


19. Jessica K.
“Hello, Jessica is a fantastic pet care giver. She’s been an avid dog and cat lover for over 30 years. Very calm demeanor and excellent humanity towards our little creatures of earth. She understands the subtle nuances of pet care and has always been someone to put them first. I would highly recommend her services.”


20. Caitlin T.
“Caitlin is great with my two dogs! They both get extremely excited when she comes over. She makes sure to feed them, give them lots of walks, treats, cuddles and even toys! She is always very respectful of the rules I have when it comes to my dogs, an example is they can’t go on my furniture. She also always provides me with updates when she is with them. There is no one I trust more with my digs than her!”
