1. Stacey V.

“Stacey was an excellent dogsitter for my 2 year old puppy. She was thorough in her preparation for her visit, making sure she knew as much as possible about Charlie and his routines. Each day I got one or two messages with photos. When I got home, it was as though no one had been in my house the 10 days I was gone. Everything was in perfect order. I will definitely try to get Stacey again!”


2. Hannah B.


“Hannah was amazing! We were abroad and never had a moment’s worry! She communicated throughout our trip and even took Paddington to her house for Christmas! We came home to a perfectly clean house! I cannot recommend Hannah highly enough!! I need 30 stars! I will request her anytime we travel! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”


3. Catherine C.
“I highly recommend Catherine for any and all pet sitting responsibilities. Catherine is responsible and caring as well as trustworthy. I have employed Catherine to pet sitting my very spoiled large dog and all went beautifully. I’m not sure he even missed me! Don’t hesitate to hire Catherine!”


4. Laura E.

“This was my first experience with Rover and Laura was absolutely the best I could ask for!!! My dogs are seniors and can require some additional attention. Laura was so patient, kind and kept me up to speed on how things were going at the house! Laura is truly a professional and an animal lover!! I will definitely request Laura for my next getaway! Thank you Laura for making me feel like my boys were well taken care of and loved!!”


5. Tayler A.

“2nd time having Tayler in our home and with our dog. She is an excellent communicator and houseguest. She seems to be comfortable with my senior, difficult dog; he seems to enjoy her too!”


6. Jennifer J.

“Jennifer was so great with our pugs. She was patient with feeding Bella because she’s a picky eater. She was great cuddling with them and petting them on the couch. We would highly recommend using her again.”


7. Kinzi A.

“Was incredible took great care of my pets. Sent daily updates and made me feel at ease. I knew they were getting were getting great care.”


8. Paige W.
“Paige was wonderful with my animals, she made sure they were fed and had water and taken out when needed and she played with them and showed them all the attention that she could while she was with them! 5/5 definitely recommend and will definitely use her again!!”


9. Grace R.
“Grace has been taking care of my cat for years along with other dogs owned by my family. She is very reliable and dedicated to making sure your pet is safe and well taken care of!”


10. Kelsi L.

“Kelsi is exceptional with dogs. She has been nothing but the very best with my dog. Great at reading his body language. Very helpful, very friendly. Overall one of the best people I have ever met when it comes to anything with animals. I know that any dog in her care will be more than taken care of.”


11. Jaden W.

“She was great with Pheobe. She even stayed an extra night last minute when we couldn’t get home.”


12. Cassandra H.
“Cassandra has always had a soft spot for animals. She has owned cats, guinea pigs, fish, and an iguana. She understands animals have not only physical needs, but also emotional. She knows they need to be safe, warm, and fed, but she also knows they need to feel safe, loved, and stimulated. She has worked at a veterinarian office/boarding facility and also at an animal shelter. She has fed and walked dogs, cleaned yucky stalls, and got the know the different animals' personalities. When my family took a day trip last year, I asked Cassandra to come check on our dog (let her out, feed her, etc.). Our dog had recently been spayed, and Cassandra was very careful with her. She sent me pictures of our dog's incision so we could see for ourselves that it was still healing well. I would definitely recommend Cassandra to care for your pet! She is a lovely girl with a big heart for both humans and our furry friends.”


13. Skylar W.
“I've known Skylar over 20 yrs and she has loved and cared for animals her whole life. She even took her love of animals and made a career out of it. Dogs especially are probably liked more than some people.”


14. Kelly F.

“Kelly is fantastic, she treated my babies like her own. When I returned home, the dogs were happy to see me, but they looked like they were well loved and taken care of while I was away. The house looked fantastic and I highly recommend Kelly, but only when I don’t need her lol. 💜🐾”


15. Gabriella F.
“Gabriella is fantastic with animals. We have a finicky dog and she handles him superb. She has also been very friendly and reliable to work with and always makes us feel great knowing our dog is well cared for.”


16. Thera R.

“Thera did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 year old beagle! She communicates well and is very responsive. We are so happy we found her”


17. Julie B.

“This was our first time ever using Rover, and it was a huge success! Julie was such a kind person the moment we met her. She went the extra mile for our pets and the house looked like no one had even stepped foot in it since we had left! I would highly recommend her for any service you may need!”


18. Katherine J.
“Great with animals, caring, compassionate and attentive to your dogs needs. Highly recommended for dog sitting/walking. Puts you at ease when having to leave your four-legged family members!”


19. Keira H.
“This girl is the bees knees! She keeps giving me more reasons to love her! She’s extremely personable, not only to the dogs, but to me as well!!”


20. Kayla S.

“Kayla was great with my older dog. She made Sadie feel comfortable immediately and gained her trust to administer her needed eye medications. I would definitely book her again in the future!”
