1. Monica B.


“She took such great care of our cat and went above and beyond to ask if we needed things done around the apartment. We wouldn’t hesitate to request her services again or recommend her to anyone looking for drop-in care.”


2. Brittney C.

“Brittney’s super sweet with my fur baby boy. She’s always on time, never late, and makes sure my baby is given rubs and love during her visits ? Will definitely book her again. Thanks Brittney !!!”


3. Scott H.

“This was my first time using rover and a dog walker and I’m so glad I decided to give it a try! My pups loved Scott from their initial meet and greet, which was a shocker since they usually give new people in the house a hard time. Scott was on time, sent me photos and updates on their behavior through the website and my pups seemed so happy! I am so thrilled we connected with Scott and I hope he’ll be available if I need help again in the future!”


4. Sam W.

“Sam was absolutely wonderful with our cat while we were away. She was able to give him his insulin every day no problem and went above and beyond in making sure he was loved while we were gone.”


5. Amanda S.

“Amanda was kind enough to text me all through her visit. I have one dog that is very shy. Amanda sat with her until she was comfortable enough to come out of hiding. Then Amanda took the dogs for a walk. She sent me pictures of my crazies. Amanda is very nice. We had a meet and greet with the dogs and myself two days before. I will use Amanda again if her and my schedules work out.”


6. Autumn K.


“Autumn is fabulous. She is everything you want in a sitter. She is great with our dog (old, slow, special needs guy) and she really cares. This is the second time we’ve worked with her and couldn’t be happier. Besides trusting her with our fur kid, we are very comfortable with her in our home. She is also extremely professional, a great communicator, on time and dependable. Highly recommended!”


7. Thalia A.
“Thalia has a magical touch with pets. Their patience, understanding, and genuine love for animals are truly remarkable. They seem to understand the unspoken language of pets and respond in a way that makes the pets feel secure and loved. Their dedication towards the well-being of animals is commendable. If you're looking for someone who treats pets with the love and respect they deserve, look no further.”




8. Raydeli J.
“Raydeli was amazing with my dog. She used to take him out for long walks and was never late. She was not only great with the dog but also with me and my two kids. Every time she was going to pick little Chuchivirie she would be very respectful with me. She even help my youngest child with a homework. She is just great in general! ”




9. James P.

“James was a delight. He showed up the day before for a visit and talk, and was very easy to talk to and warmed up to our dog who is very picky. We'd use him again in a heartbeat.”


10. Elliot K.
“Elliot is great with Inga! His vet tech experience is extremely valuable 🐈😁”


11. Paityn D.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16! My family has 2 dogs so I know how much your pet means to you. :) My schedule varies slightly from week to week due to school and wrestling, so I make sure to update my calendar once a week to ensure that I am available. Feel free to reach out with any questions! My family has 2 dogs, so I know how much love you can have for a pet. They are like your children. Based off of personal experience, I know it can be nerve wracking trusting someone new with your fur baby, but I promise to provide the best care!


12. Candice G.

“Candice did a great job with my Jax, I would recommend her services to anyone who needs a reliable drop in visitor to take care of their furry baby”


13. Logan O.
About: As a proud owner of a Great Dane, I’ve gained firsthand insight into the unique needs and challenges that come with caring for larger breeds, and I’m well-equipped to manage dogs of all sizes with their energy, health, and well-being!🐾 As a student-athlete, my schedule can be pretty packed during the season, but right now, I'm in the off-season, which gives me more flexibility to dedicate time to pet care. I make sure to prioritize pet sitting around my routine, whether it’s morning walks, playtime, or administering care. I structure my day to allow plenty of time for the pets I care for, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and love! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my own home, I ensure that the environment is pet-friendly and secure, with designated spaces for pets to play, rest, and feel comfortable. At client’s home, I follow their guidelines carefully to make sure their pets feel at ease in their familiar surroundings. I always take extra precautions to pet-proof the area, ensure doors and gates are securely closed, and maintain a calm, consistent routine for the pets.


14. Matthew R.

“My dog loved Matthew (she was crying when he left after the walk, LOL). He is super knowledgeable about dogs and gave me several helpful recommendations which I appreciated. Thank you Matthew!”


15. Elizabeth H.

“Even got a picture ! Gigi is a big fan and enjoyed her first visit !”


16. Amy M.

“Amy is wonderful! She is kind, understanding and accommodating. This was my first time using the app so I was a little nervous but Amy def made the experience easier! I would def recommend her!”


17. Roxanne B.

“Roxanne has been great! Our dog is a rescue and has stranger anxiety, which is stressful for the dog and for us when we need someone to take care of her. Roxanne understands the behavior and manages it well. She is reliable and gives prompt updates and we are very comfortable with her taking care of our dog. Very highly recommend!”


18. Vincent Z.
“Vincent is a very caring guy and is very good with animals. He has watched my dogs many times and each time they seem very happy to be with him.”


19. Deborah H.
“When it comes to my dog, there’s nobody else I would trust more with him. If I ever have any questions, she’s the first person I go to whether it’s for behavioral issues or any kind of health concerns.”


20. Andrea M.
“Andrea is awesome! Patient and completely responsive to my dogs needs! I have 2 REALLY high energy dogs. They respond to her better than me”
