1. Jenevieve Y.
“Jenevieve is a literal angel. She was just supposed to do a drop-in to see Deku and let him out. My A/C went out the night before the scheduled visit and it’s was 100 degrees outside. Jenevieve took him to her home to watch him for the day while I was at work. If it wasn’t for her, Deku would definitely not be okay! She saved the day and saved me from so much stress during my first day at my new job! A literal lifesaver!”
2. Tanya H.
“Tanya was extremely attentive to our cats while we were gone and very attuned to their body language and (obviously) non-verbal communication. She was also great at communicating with us. Couldn’t recommend a better caretaker - would gladly hire her again!”
3. Troy D.
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
4. Javon L.
“Very considerate, consistent with communication, and attentive to care details. My Kittens were well taken care of, would definitely book again. Thank you!”
5. Cory W.
“Cory is an exceptional dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our energetic Aussie, keeping us informed every step of the way. He even handled a small accident in the house with professionalism and ease. Highly recommend!”
6. Brad C.
“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”
7. Jessica D.
“Jessica was fantastic! She really listened to our concerns beforehand and took everything we said into account. She gave us detailed reviews for each visit and was friendly to both us and our pets. We will absolutely be hiring her for petsitting again!”
8. Andrea M.
“I haven’t used a service like this before and was kind of hesitant about it. Andrea did a fantastic job and took excellent care of my Yoda. I will definitely be using this service again. Thank you Andrea!”
9. Molly B.
“Molly was amazing with our two cats. She followed everything I outlined perfectly and was super attentive. Her updates helped us feel at ease while we were out of the country. I knew we left our cats in good hands. I highly recommend letting Molly look after your animals!”
10. Chelsie L.
“Chelsie is such a pro - responds quickly, is so great with my dog! She did a shot-notice job for me today and I’m so grateful! Thank you, Chelsie!”
11. Nichole H.
“Nichole is amazing! She was great at communicating when we were setting everything up and our cat warmed up to her very quickly; they were already cuddling by the second day! We were really able to enjoy our vacation knowing that Nichole was taking care of our boy!”
12. Jaden B.
“My little brother Jaden is a very patient, compassionate and understanding individual. I personally have 3 degrees in science and have worked intimately with a wide variety of animals in a number of geographic locations and have a deep respect for animals and wildlife of all shapes and sizes. I see much of these same attributes in my little brother. He recently put down his dog of 14 years due to failing health in his old age. He was a very dedicated and empathetic dog owner. I feel this would be a great opportunity for him to keep dogs in his life without having to jump back into a long term commitment right away.”
13. Allison G.
“Allison is the best! We’ve had her help us out twice now and she does a great job and our dogs love her - couldn’t ask for better help with our big babies! Highly recommend.”
14. Steven S.
“Steven did an amazing job! Our cat loved him from the first meet and greet and she was so excited to see him every time he arrived. Will definitely book Steven again for the next time we need a cat sitter!!”

About: Hi, I’m Jane. I have been caring for dogs professionally since 2015. I make it a priority to learn about your pet before we meet—that means researching breed-specific needs and understanding any medical conditions. This helps me provide the best possible care. Your dog will be pampered with belly rubs, plenty of playtime, and will feel content and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home so weekdays are an all-day puppy party for me 🙂. I can be flexible for scheduled drop-ins. The dogs I care for enjoy frequent breaks to play, walk, or relax in near my lap while I work on my laptop. My policy is to never let a dog out of my sight, even in a fenced yard. Pets can often behave unpredictably when separated from their owners. I focus on keeping them engaged through exercise and play tasks, providing plenty of distractions until your return. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.
16. Maggie G.
“Maggie was absolutely fantastic! She took her time with our Lacy. She was sure to stay in good communication and gave our Lacy lots of love! This was our first Rover experience and because of Maggie we had a wonderful experience!”
17. Stephanie V.
“Stephanie did a great job with our cats! She sent picture updates and kept us informed the whole time. She did a great job making sure our cats had all they needed, and even offered to come over during the 4th of July to make sure they weren’t too stressed. She was great!”
18. Andrew P.
“I recently had the pleasure of using Andrew and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and my dog received exceptional care while I was away. Booking and Communication The booking process was simple and convenient. I was able to easily communicate with him, who asked all the right questions about my dog’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I felt reassured knowing that Andrew was genuinely interested in providing personalized care. Care and Attention During the sitting period, Andrew was highly attentive to my dog’s needs. Daily updates, complete with photos and videos, helped me feel connected and at ease. I appreciated that he made time for regular walks, play sessions, and cuddle time. It was clear that my dog was in loving hands. Home Environment Andrew created a safe and comfortable environment, and I was impressed by the care taken to maintain my dog’s usual routines. Whether it was feeding times, nap schedules, or familiar toys, everything was well-maintained, making the experience less stressful for my pet. Professionalism and Reliability Andrew was punctual, professional, and dependable. There were no surprises—just great, consistent care. I also received timely updates in case there were any changes, which showed a high level of responsibility and respect. Overall Experience Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitting experience. It gave me peace of mind while I was away, knowing that my dog was not only safe but also happy and content. I would definitely recommend Andrew to any pet owner looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Talia was great and pleasant to meet. She was on time and reliable and took great pictures of the dogs. We will try to work with her again in the future!”
20. Veronica B.
“I have know Veronica for many years she is a very kind and loving lady she treats her pets like she does her daughter with love and patience and I think anyone would be lucky to have Veronica look after their pet because she would treat them like her own and she is very respectful and responsible”
