3. Valen J.
“Punctuality: Valen was always on time for her visits. She was very gentle and attentive to my cat. She made sure he was comfortable and relaxed during her visits. I felt confident knowing that my cat was in good hands and well-cared for. Definitely will recommend.”
4. Delaney G.
“Dulaney was great! We left somewhat detailed instructions for our young puppy and older dog and she didn’t miss a beat. She arrived on time and provided good feedback for us after her visit. Would book again!”

“Laurie and James do such a good job! I have a Golden puppy who has more energy than sense and they take such loving care but also keep him in line (better than me!)”
9. Erika J.
“We had a great experience with Erika! She was very friendly with us, and our (sometimes reserved) dog felt comfortable with her immediately. Erika has a clear love for animals that shines through in her care for and interactions with them, and we appreciated knowing Mina was in such great hands!”
10. Angela E.
“I have used Angela several times so far for drop-in visits for my two pups. She has been very responsible, showing up on time, taking pics, keeping me posted of her arrival and departure times. It’s great to have someone you can count on. I highly recommend Angela for these reasons.”
11. Alex V.
“Alex was absolutely great! She took great care of our cat when we were away. Camden takes awhile to warm up to people, and Alex was great and patient and we came home to a very happy kitty. Alex also helped take our trash cans up and down when we were gone, which was super helpful. Her daily updates about Camden and pictures were detailed and appreciated! We would definitely hire her again to help out with Camden.”
12. Shannon D.
“Shannon did a great job taking care of our 13 y.o. dog. She provided detailed updates with pictures throughout the booking, so that we were never wondering how he was doing. Shannon showed that she is contientous and wants to provide the best service for her clients. We plan to work with her in the future.”
13. Nicole P.
“Nicole is amazing! We have had the same dog sitter for 7 years, this was the first year we had to get a new sitter cause prior sitter moved too far away. When I left on Saturday I was so anxious about my baby. Every check in Nicole provide an update. She was so aware of Sandy’s behavior as they changed a bit through the week. She set me pictures and updates. I can’t tell how amazing that feels to know my baby was cared for in the same way I would have cared for her. When we got home, and for the fist time in while, Sandy was not “mad” at us for leaving. Yes I can tell when my dog is not happy with me. Thank you so much Nicole for your amazing care for my baby. Hope to be able to book you in the near future. ?”
14. Jessica G.
“Jessica is responsive and attentive to the needs of both the pets and the owners. Will absolutely continue to hire her for our dog-sitting needs!”
15. Taresse B.
“Taresse did an excellent job taking care of my cats during my recent trip. She is very responsible and reliable kitty sitter and my cats love her! She manages multiple cats, senior cats and cats on medications situations very well. I am usually greeted by my happy cats and everything looking very good and tidy when I return home.”
16. Sarah F.
“Sarah was an excellent pet sitter. She was reliable and on time. She was also flexible when we needed to extend our time. Highly recommended and we will definitely use her services again!”
17. Leann M.
“A friend suggested I try Rover to find a pet sitter for our cats. As I scrolled down the page, I had a gut feeling Leann would be our sitter. I narrowed my search to five sitters and reviewed their profiles. In addition to Leann’s skills and experience, I liked that she commented on all the client reviews posted on her profile. I sent a message, and Leann replied to schedule an in-home visit within minutes. Zeke immediately made a new friend, while Ezra’s shyness took over. Leann took notes as I described our needs. She asked about our pets likes and dislikes, feeding schedule, medical and vaccination histories, preferred vet, and daily activities. Leann also asked if we needed her to perform extra duties, such as placing our garbage/recycling cans at the curb or watering the plants. Leann sent us daily updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Her love for animals was evident in her attentive care. On Leann’s last day, Ezra emerged from hiding to sniff her hand. That was his way of saying he trusted her and “Thank you” for caring for him. We will use Leann again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter.”
18. Vanessa R.
“Vanessa was amazing from the first time we talked. She loved our little girl and took great care of her. Even in a last minute pinch she was able to help. Talk about the extra mile, she extended the offer to pop over to check in on our pup in case our flight was delayed. Finding ROVER and Vanessa made our 4th of July get away so much less stressful!!”
19. John K.
“John K. Was Amazing! He was my dogs best friend! He took very good care of him and made sure he was well cared & loved! I enjoyed his drop in pictures of my dog making sure he was happy! I would definitely recommend John K. for any of your pet needs. He is a great guy and very responsive.”
20. Sylvie W.
“Sylvie's affection and reliability as a pet caregiver is quite evident by how she takes care of her own pet. I have seen the same dedication in her when she's taking care of others' pets. I would recommend Sylvie without any hesitation to anyone who is looking for a kind caregiver.”
