1. Barb K.

“Barb exceeded every expectation. She was polite, professional, and communicative. I had no concerns that our pet was well taken care of in our absence. I recommend her without hesitation.”


2. Kelly S.

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”


3. Carolyn T.
“Carolyn is absolutely wonderful person and caregiver to my 2 furry boys. She is calm, careful, respectful, dependable, responsive and just top notch -will definitely book with her again.”


4. Laura S.


“We felt great leaving our dog with Laura. She was communicative and respectful of our house. We are looking forward to having her stay again soon!”




5. Jessica G.

“Jessica was beyond wonderful with our dogs. She clearly is an animal lover and she treated ours like they were her own. Her communication was absolutely top notch with so many pictures and updates! I can’t recommend her enough!”


6. Ava D.
“I've known Ava for 10 years and have witnessed her passion for animals. She has fostered numerous dogs throughout her life, which has given her the experience to care for a variety of dog types. Ava is a very caring and responsible person; I know she will provide your pet with the best care!”


7. Jennifer H.
“I've worked with Jenn for a few years and she's been consistently kind to all of the animals she's taken into her care. She's incredibly empathetic, patient, and reliable. I would highly recommend anyone use her for any of your pet needs!”


8. Jessica E.


“Jessica is always awesome with our two Saint Bernards! She genuinely cares about them and they always look so happy in all of the pictures she sends while watching them! I completely trust Jess with caring for our big babies.”


9. Caroline D.

“Caroline loved up on my pup! Thank you!”


10. Lucinda E.
“Luci is an absolute gem when it comes to pet sitting. She’s one of the most reliable, caring, and attentive people I know, not just with animals, but in everything she does. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any creature in between, Luci treats each pet like they’re part of her own family (though I will say she’s especially gifted with cats!). She’s incredibly responsible, keeps you updated with photos and messages, and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I’ve seen her win over even the most anxious pets with her calming energy and kind heart. Plus, your home will be just as you left it- if not cleaner! If you’re lucky enough to book Luci, your pets are in the best possible hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”


11. Mackenzie E.

“Mackenzie was great! She took the time to come do a meet and greet prior to our booking so she could meet the boys, see the house, and make sure it was a good fit. We learned about her dog and were super comfortable leaving the boys (and our home) in her care. She is very responsive and easy to communicate with. The boys loved her. We would absolutely use her again and recommend her to others.”


12. Elizabeth W.

“This is the third time Elizbeth cared for my two dogs and one cat. This was a 2-night house-sitting job. I can't say enough positive things about how Elizabeth ensured my pets' welfare. Both dogs are pretty sensitive and have been uneasy when we have been away in the past. Not so with Elizabeth! They had a great time playing and cuddling with her, and they settled in beautifully. When we got home, I could see how comfortable they are with Elizabeth. What a difference and what a relief! I recommend Elizabeth highly for her pet sitting skills and dedication to the best care for my pets.”


13. Emily C.

“Emily is AMAZING! I highly recommend her. Someone else was supposed to watch our dog during our wedding and they canceled on us the night before our big day. I downloaded the Rover app and Emily came to meet our pup within an hour of us chatting and put ALL my worries aside. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, took our dog for walks, and played with him so he wasn’t alone the entire day. She made me feel so at ease and is a great dog sitter.”


14. Dave Z.

“Dave was really helpful, especially since we had another sitter cancel last minute and he was able to accommodate anyway. Kiko had a great time and our home was well looked after, too. Thanks again!”


15. Emily K.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I have taken care of dogs for family and friends throughout the years. I am comfortable with big and small dogs! Currently I am available every weekend or nights after 5pm. I am a teacher so with summer coming up, I will the be available 24/7! My dogs are apart of my family, and your pets will be treated the same way! I am gentle, loving and compassionate with them always!


16. Taylor C.
About: I work as a behavior for individuals with autism, which helps with managing behavior issues at home. I am not a certified dog trainer, but I want to be one day. I have trained every dog I've every owned. I work 5 days/week 40 hours/week. I see clients throughout the day and my schedule is generally flexible. As long as I have advanced notice (2-3 days) I can fit you throughout the week. Otherwise, I am available on the weekends too. If need be, I may place your dog in a crate or gated area to protect your dog from any other dogs nearby. On walks, your dog will be by my side at all times and I will help them learn not to choke on the leash as they usually do.


17. Stephanie C.

“We were so lucky to have found Stephanie! Our usual Rover recently had a baby and Stephanie happened to be available for a last minute booking. They were quick to respond, easy to communicate with and loved the boys. Everything went smoothly and we look forward to having them watch the boys again soon! We would highly recommend!”


18. Jaiden K.
“Hi there! Jaiden is my 18 year old daughter who takes care of our two dogs: Indigo, a docile golden doodle and Remy, a very rambunctious German Shepard ! She has a lot of experience with dogs and she will treats yours like her own ♥️”


19. Emma S.

“Did a great job with my boys.”


20. Sunnie S.
About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.
