1. Kimberly Q.

“I have two large dogs - Siberian husky and a German shepherd. Kimberly responded quickly to my request. She was prompt showing up for a meet and greet with my two girls. She took pictures during her stay at my house to show me how they were doing. Kimberly confirmed her appointment with me the day before the booking.”

“Abby has been great :) I love having her watch Bella!”


3. Lautaro C.
“I'm so grateful to have found Lautaro to care for my two-year-old Spanish Water Dogs! This breed is known for being extremely energetic, and Lautaro handled them wonderfully. He didn't just manage them; he truly engaged with them, even going for runs with them to help them burn off their energy.It's clear Lautaro has a real passion for animals. He understood my dogs' needs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well-cared for. I returned home to find my dogs relaxed, healthy, and content, which is the best possible testament to Lautaro's skills and dedication. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and energetic pet caregiver!”


4. Stephanie & Elizabeth B.


“Stephanie and Elizabeth were great. They were very professional the whole time while they house/pet sat for us for a full week. They sent us regular updates including photos and videos! We felt very comfortable having them both with our pets and in our home. Without a doubt, we will use their services again. Thank you for taking such good care of our furry family.”


5. Cole M.
“While in the process of moving, Cole watched my dog for over a week and treated him like his own! Cole was very attentive to him and always kept us updated on how he was doing. This also included giving him his meds twice a day and he had no issues with that all. I would trust Cole to watch my dog over and over again without hesitation! My dog always gets SO excited anytime he sees him.”


6. Sara A.

“Sara was just wonderful. I think my dog had a better weekend with her than he ever would with us! She took him on field trips and also snuggled him on the couch. He is very lucky we found her!”


7. Yury R.
“Yuri is a very loving and responsible pet sitter. I have a 15 year old lab who I won't leave with anyone but her! I not only know she is getting fed and walked as she would be if I were here, but I know she gets lots of smooches and pets! She is on time and organized. Wonderful! Highly recommended!”


8. Megan C.

“Megan is a great dog sitter. Oscar loves her. She took notes when she met us to make sure that she knew his routine and his feedings. She communicated frequently. We got a bunch of pictures. We live on a boat so we had to show her the peculiarities of boat living. She took notes then also. Megan left the boat in perfect condition. We love her and so does Oscar.”


9. Destinee R.

“A sweet and loving human! Truly an animal lover. I was very comfortable from the moment we met. Thank you🙌🏽”


10. Kaci B.

“Kaci was awesome! We had to book last minute and she was more than accommodating to helping out however she could. Very reliable, responsive, and so great with the pups. We will definitely be requesting her again!”


11. Hannah B.
“I would totally trust Hannah B. with any 4 legged creature. IF you check out her pup’s Instagram account, MAYBETHEDOODLE, you will see firsthand how caring and great she is with dogs. The pictures tell the story. In addition, she is a major lover of cats too. Definitely a loving pet caregiver.”


12. Morgan H.

“Morgan was a good communicator and a caring sitter for our elderly Havanese. She took excellent care of our home and our dog. There was a minor plumbing issue during her stay and she took care of that as well.”


13. Emily H.
“Emily did a great job walking and overall taking good care of my dog Padme. I highly recommend her if you’re in need of someone to look after your pet.”


14. Meghan M.
About: Our furry friends aren’t just pets, they are family! I I grew up with dogs and have always loved watching our family and friends’ furry animals when they were away. I know every pet is different and has different needs and I am ready to take anything on. The days will be tailored to your pet and if your pet loves to have fun, we will have lots of fun! If they prefer to lounge around, we will take the day easy. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! I work from home so I am available all throughout the day to care for your pet! Your pet comes first for us, and they will not be left alone for more than 1-2 hrs if a grocery store run or errand is needed. Besides that though, we are always ready to have fun with our pup and can’t wait to have your furry friend join in on the fun! My husband and I have a 3 year old male English Mastiff named Tank! We have a small side yard for quick potty breaks, but we also have a lovely neighborhood to walk around in that has causeway access at the end that is pet friendly and a park just down the road that we frequent daily.


15. Jessica K.
“Jessica is an awesome animal caretaker. I witness it everyday with our 2 cats and have seen her take excellent care of her parents dog before it passed at 12 years old. She continues to treat our cats as they are her own kids high quality treats and exercises the cats around the house.”


16. Shannon D.

“Shannon was/is amazing. She is full of spirit and genuinely cares for pets. She came through for us on a short notice. Blake could not been in better hands. If you’re looking for reliable and caring individual, we highly recommend Shannon to care for your pets.”


17. Dewa Gede M.
“Dewa is an incredible person and animal lover. I met him in Bali where he is from and I cannot say enough about him as a person. He watched my dogs multiple times once he moved here to the USA. He will give your dogs the greatest love and care in any way you need help. I am always nervous when leaving my pets but felt so comfortable leaving them with Dewa. Just like Balinese culture he will give your dog all the love and care in the world while you’re away or need them to be walked. Thank you Dewa my husband and I are so grateful for you help and love you give our animals !!!”


18. Kelly F.

“Kelly exceeded expectations to say the least. We have two big dogs that are fairly young, one that is full of energy. We went away for a weekend and it was our first time using rover. We’d tried the kennel and it was not a good experience for us at all. We needed an overnight sitter that would love our dogs like our own. Kelly took that into consideration and made us feel extra secure while we were gone, sending tons of pictures and updates and being extremely reliable. We feel so relieved knowing she’s there the next time we need her!”


19. Darlene A.
“I would trust Darlene with any pet. She is honest. She is hard working. Most of all she loves animals. Animals love her too. She has a way with animals. You can see the special connection she has with them. I would recommend her to any of my neighbors or friends.”




20. Cynthia S.
“Cynthia has the biggest heart for animals! She is caring and thoughtful with her approach. Any dog or cat she encounters, loves her. Her energy is calm and loving.”
