1. Ashley H.

“Ashley was wonderful going above and beyond by washing food plates and keeping us updated while we were away. Our cats were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip, would have Ashley watch them again. Highly recommended.”


2. Julie F.

“Julie took such great care of our kitties, was right on time everyday, and loved on them just as much as we do. Now my only fear going on vacation is they'll want her to be their momma. Highly recommend Julie to care for your fur babies.”


3. alexis c.

“Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.”


4. Meredith M.
“I highly recommend Meredith as a pet sitter. She has taken care of my dog, Starsky and cats Milo and Scratch for 5 years. Whether for the day, weekend, business trip or vacation she has always been dependable, dedicated and keeps to their schedules. My pets love her! Meredith always has a treat for each one and lots of hugs and kisses. If she needs to give one of the animals medication, no problem. You won't be disappointed if you hire Meredith. I give her five stars!! Cathy D.”


5. Hannah R.

“Hannah helped us out on Christmas evening when we were going to be away from our house for 12 hrs. We so appreciated the extra mile Hannah went to come a week before Christmas to meet our dogs and speak with us personally so we would feel comfortable leaving our two greyhounds in her care for a bit. She communicate well and responded in a timely manner when we first were setting up the visit with her. We will definitely use Hannah again and absolutely recommend her services! Thanks again Hannah, you helped make our Christmas less stressful!”


6. Sharon & Mark W.


“Sharon is wonderful! My dogs can be a bit intimidating and Sharon came in like a champ! She was at the house on time and communicated with me to keep me in the loop. Recommended!”


7. Melanie C.

“Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!”

“Thank you!!”


9. Samantha B.


“Sam was awesome! She sent pics and the dogs Rover card and it really relaxed me to know my dogs were so well cared for when I was away from home. Thank you Sam for caring for my kids ?”


10. Lora P.

“Lora was great!”


11. Shelby K.

“Shelby has been a blessing to us. After having another sitter back out in me last minute I found Shelby. She came in met the dogs and took over. We have a 6 month old, a 2 year old, and a 13 year old. They are all German Shepherds. The 13 year old is blind. Shelby has no problem handling all 3. We highly recommend her for your pets needs.”


12. Erica M.
“I highly reccomend Erica for your pet sitting needs. She was reliable and very attentive to our 2 Goldens. One of them is a puppy and I was nervous about leaving because he can get into things easily as puppies can do. My fears were relieved with Erica as she not only watched him closely but played with him to tire him out to make him less likely to get into things. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing our 2 fur babies we well cared for.”


13. Emily H.

“Emily did great with my dogs and I know she took excellent care of them. My babies can be a handful and she never once complained. She gives a lot of details in her communications and I really do like that. It puts me at ease knowing my babies are well taken care of”


14. Ella V.

“I’ve known Ella a long time, and she has always been a huge animal lover. She can charm even the most anxious and nervous dogs!! She’s super reliable and willing to go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend hiring her to care for your fur babies!”


15. Chloee R.

“Chloee was wonderful with our dogs and she really helped us with very little notice. We definitely trust her with our dogs and in our home. Highly recommended!”


16. Keely T.
About: Hi I have been taking car of animals for 3 years now! I would love to help you out and make your pets feel right at home! I have school for a few hours a day and then I am free to care for and love for all of your animals u! I walk my dogs on super long walks! I also feed them and refill their water often! I always make sure to play with my dogs and give them cuddles!


17. Jenna S.
About: Ever since I can remember, I have had an intense love for all animals, mostly the fun and furry ones - dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, etc. I have had my fair share of pets, as well as experience dog sitting for many close friends. I will provide your pets with a fun experience, while dedicating my full attention to them while they are in my care. I can't wait to meet your furry friend! I work a full-time job as a music teacher at a local college, but I want to earn a little extra cash on the side and spend time with animals, since my current living situation doesn't allow me to have a pet of my own. My most available hours would be early mornings, late afternoons, or evenings/nights. I cannot currently have pets in my home. I live on campus in an apartment with a no-pets policy. In the future, I may be able to change this.


18. Alyssa W.

“Thank you Alyssa for being so flexible and willing to help us with our schedule, especially on Christmas!!”


19. Kortney R.

“Kortney is so great with both my dogs who are an absolute handful!”


20. Willow D.
“To whom it may concern, I have had the pleasure of using Willow as my dog sitter on several occasions. I have three dogs and they absolutely love Willow. Occasionally my husband and I have to travel for his job for three or four days at a time. I have total confidence that my dogs are safe, happy and well taken care of with Willow.”
