1. Christine L.
“Another great visit with Christine. Always makes sure my kitties are taken care of with keeping litter boxes clean, fresh food and water, playing, and pets! This time we discovered the magic of cat tv for some additional entertainment! Thanks Christine!”
2. Liz F.
“We have a fearful senior rescue dog with a complicated history, and Liz has been great about doing an initial meet-and-great and then an extended drop-in to spend time with our dog alone. She very much understands how to interact with a fearful dog who needs time to feel trusting. Her experience as the guardian of a rescue dog herself definitely comes into play. She was punctual, cheerful, and generous-minded, and we really appreciate her willingness to work with Penny! We will definitely use her again.”
3. Kristi P.
“Kristi was very personable and a great communicator. I appreciated her work with our pups!”
4. Sarah B.
“Was so nice to trust that Sarah was taking care of our cat while we were out of town, including giving her nightly meds and the extra love and attention she needs. Sarah sent picture and video updates with every drop in visit, and was patient and understanding with a key mishap. Thanks so much!”

6. Jesse S.
About: I got my first German Shepherd 5 years ago and another one 3 years ago. I've always loved dogs and after becoming an adult the first thing I did was get me a new bestfriend. I am currently work from home and volume is low so I have plenty of time to take care of your dog! Our current schedule with my dogs are 3-4 walks a day. 1 Long walk in the morning, 2 quick afternoon outside sessions and 1 long evening walk. I have 2 friendly German Shepherds and 4 cats. They all get along and theres no issues in the house. We have a time out room we utilize when there might be too much stimulation so everyone can take a break and we have an outside area with turf where we can all just sit and relax as well.
7. Jane C.

8. Owen M.
“I have known Owen for a very long time (family friend) and he has been wonderful with my dog and cats. He is gentle, with a very calm demeanor and he’s very responsible. When i leave town i know he’ll feed them as directed, give them affection, walk my dog and lock the house up when he leaves. I have recommended him to friends and would do so again.”
9. Ashleigh H.

12. Veera Y.
“Veera is the only person outside of my immediate family that I would feel confident and comfortable leaving my dog Luca with. Shs is incredibly patient, loving and kind throughout her care which creates a safe and reliable place for pets to stay while their parents are away. She is also adamant on retaining structure and routine for pets, which I find so important especially when medication and exercise is involved. She is a lovely, communicative person who will not even make you worry or wonder if your baby is in good hands while you're away.”
13. Vivienne Y.
“Vivienne is the most loving and caring person I know. When she’s around animals, she pays attention to all the details and ensures that every pet is taken great care of.”
14. Lily K.
“I couldn't be more thrilled to write this testimonial about my dear friend Lily K., who is undoubtedly one of the most incredible individuals when it comes to caring for pets. Lily's genuine love and passion for animals are unmatched, and I wholeheartedly recommend her as a fantastic pet sitter for Rover! Firstly, Lily's own furry companion, Gizmo the cat, is a testament to her nurturing nature. She showers Gizmo with endless affection, care, and playtime, creating a loving environment that any pet would thrive in. It's heartwarming to witness the bond they share, which reflects Lily's innate ability to connect with animals on a deep level. I have had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved pet dog, Cowboy, to Lily's care on numerous occasions. Let me tell you, Cowboy absolutely adores Lily! The moment he sees her, his tail starts wagging uncontrollably, and he showers her with slobbery kisses. It's clear that Lily has a unique way of making animals feel comfortable and loved. Lily's approach to pet sitting is exceptional. She goes above and beyond to ensure that all the needs of the animals in her care are met. Whether it's providing regular exercise, maintaining feeding routines, or administering medications, Lily is diligent and responsible, treating each pet as if they were her own. What sets Lily apart is her unwavering patience and attentiveness. She takes the time to understand the unique personalities and quirks of every pet she encounters. Whether they're energetic and playful or shy and reserved, Lily adjusts her approach to ensure that each animal feels safe, happy, and secure in her presence. Aside from her unmatched dedication, Lily's warm and friendly nature makes her an absolute joy to work with. She communicates effectively, keeping pet owners informed with timely updates, adorable pictures, and funny anecdotes that bring a smile to your face even when you're miles away. In summary, I cannot recommend Lily K. highly enough for the role of a pet sitter on Rover. Her genuine love for animals, her experience as a devoted pet owner herself, and the bond she shares with my dog Cowboy make her the perfect choice. With Lily, you can rest assured that your furry friend will be in the hands of someone who will treat them with the utmost care, affection, and respect.”
15. Joshua S.
“If you are looking to find a sweet, caring, trustworthy person to take care of your fur babies while you are away, Josh is the pet caregiver for you! Josh has watched my cat Tizzo since he was a kitten (almost 3 years). He treats my home with respect and keeps it clean while making sure my cat feels safe and comforted. He always gives timely updates that give me peace of mind and let me know my cat is in safe hands.”
16. Helen Z.
“Helen is a loving, responsible, super caring mom of a 12 year old dog. She is extremely attentive to dogs' needs and will always give her best effort to ensure a comfortable, clean, and safe environment. She's your best choice for a pet sitter or dog walker!”
17. Katherine S.
“I should first say that I cannot help but be biased, as I am Kate's father. We are a pet loving family. Kate grew up around cats, dogs and parrots and is quite easy going and empathetic with all creatures. She has worked as a dog walker and caregiver before and always done well. She recently lost her big old lab, Buddy and was heartbroken. Our lab, Rosie, is always ecstatic when Kate comes to Florida to visit. Kate is a true "dog lover". She is also an expert "dog handler". I can recommend her unequivocally and most enthusiastically.”
18. Yuliza P.
“Yuliza was considerate, kind, smart, and helpful. She sent me great pictures of all of my pets while I was away. While I was gone, the light to my fish tank was malfunctioning, and she noticed it right away and was able to get it working again with minimal help from me, saving hundreds of dollars worth of coral in the process. Book with confidence! You won't find better help.”
19. De Anna S.
“Thank you! De Anna took care of our cat Maluma for 10 days while we where. He seemed happy and healthy when we saw him. We definitely will be using her for our future cat sitting needs”
20. Sandis W.
“Sandis has walked my dog for 5 years. She always makes sure to pick up after my dog Milo, is on time, and very patient-- she even helped me potty train him. She has a great touch with animals, I recommend her!”
