Josiana was super fantastic I cannot thank her enough for taking my request on short notice. She is very kind and empathetic. In my first experience using Rover I was very nervous because I selected the option for Josiana to stay over at my house, Not only did Josiana make me feel at ease she also provided daily updates with fantastic pictures. Josiana was so good when I came back from out of town I felt like King didn’t even miss me hahaha. But I highly recommend her I hope she will always continue to do this work on the side and it feels good knowing there are people out here you can trust.

Kristina did a wonderful job while housesitting with our 10-week-old puppy. It's clear that she loves pets and cares about their well-being. She was cheerful and willing to stay about a hour longer than expected when our event ran long. Highly recommended!

I've known Sara for more than 8 years now, and I'm excited to recommend her! Sara is one of the most trustworthy and animal-loving people I know. She's amazing at taking care of all kinds of dogs - big or small - and she's super knowledgeable, reliable, efficient, and dedicated. You can see her enormous love and compassion for animals in everything she does. Sara has a special place in her heart for animals, especially dogs. She recently lost her own dog, Magnus, to old age, and the love and care she showed him was truly heartwarming. She's not your average pet sitter, she'll go the extra mile and do whatever you ask of her, like taking your dog for a ride in the car. Animals just love her!

Nenett was amazing! She was available to watch my puppy on short notice, shared photos showing puppy having tons of fun and was so understanding when my flight was delayed and I was much later than expected for pick up. I would definitely rebook with her.

Alli provided great care for my two dogs Hank and Honey. She followed all instructions and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She is easy to communicate with and is quick with responses. I would recommend Alli as a dog sitter to anyone who needs pet care!

I have known Jahborne for over 8 years and his passion for caring for animals is certainly unmatched! He takes so much pride in providing the high quality care he truly feels all pets are deserving of. Jahborne has been a caregiver to my own pup and there is no one I would trust more; as a pet owner I have been very pleased time and time again. His patience and extensive experience greatly add to his caregiving abilities. One thing I have noticed is that Jahborne has a way of making dogs with even the most difficult temperaments comfortable around him. He is attentive to detail, responsible, and extremely loving towards all pets! Jahborne cares for all pets as if they were his own and this is something truly rare to find. With all this being said, I could not recommend anyone more capable!

Winnie did a fabulous job with our 3 crazy animal children, While quite friendly, they do at times have a tendency to get quite excited about things -- never threatening in anyway, just at times a bit extra annoying & barky. They all seemed comfortable & content when I returned yesterday. All was great. thanks ! tim

Julia was an absolute DREAM as a pet and a house sitter. This was the first time we used Rover and we hit the jackpot finding Julia. She is extremely capable, professional, diligent with following pet / house instructions, very attentive to our pets, and just a lovely person. We loved all the pictures she sent us while we were gone and it was clear that our dogs fell in love with Julia when she was at our house. We felt 100% comfortable with her and will continue using her as our sitter from here on out. I highly, highly recommend using Julia. She is a absolute STAR!!

We had to attend a wedding but worried about our 15 years old Harmony cause she often has accidents at home. We were so glad that Carmen come to take care her. Carmen was above and beyond to do the job. She cleaned up the mess neatly and updated everything to me. She was gentle and caring to Harmony. We were relieved and enjoyed the wedding and family gathering. We highly recommend her and will hire her again.

We were first time clients and a bit apprehensive. Jessica met with us and spent time with our two boxers and got to know them. She was very attentive to our food and safety concerns. We appreciated the daily photos and notes so we knew that all was well. A good value and will use her services again.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. My childhood dog developed seizures in his old age and I took care of him until he passed at the age of 15. I now have a 3 year old menace Chow-Labrador-Golden mix that I have had since he was a puppy. I trained him and also had to take care of multiple health issues he had as a puppy. I will be diligent in ensuring your pup has the best experience they can have in my care. I am currently a full time student, with 3 off days during the week. I am available on any days I don’t have school as well as weekends. I will ensure that your pup is always in the safest situation they can be while on walks. I will not force them to do anything they don’t want to do, and be diligent about watching for any signs they may give me. I promise to care for them like I do my own dog.

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dogs from Great Danes to Frenchies and boxers since I was 10. My friends and neighbors have relied on my services for years and have trusted me with their fur babies. I have worked at a vet clinic as well as a dog daycare. I have years of experience with different temperament dogs and large groups of dogs. I am currently working full time so I can do visitations or overnight stays with your pets. I am also available every weekend. I am trying to go full time with Rover so I can care for your fur babies with as much love as I can give. I am available to visit homes and meet your dogs before overnight stays. I will take them on enjoyable walks and give lots of love and attention just like you would. I will treat them like my own fur babies.
