3. Heather S.

“Heather is our go to dog sitter, and she is the best! Heather sends updates and photos of our pup throughout her stay, and we always are able to enjoy our time away knowing that our pup is in such great hands. We also always return to our house just as we left it. Cannot recommend Heather enough!”


4. Aaliyah L.

“Aaliyah was great! Showed up on time and even stayed a tad later for us as we were coming from the city and in traffic. She did a great job and our pup seemed to love her! Very professional and we would definitely trust her with our pup again!!”


5. Wendy Johanna B.

“Wendy did an amazing job caring for our beloved beagle Daisy yesterday -- texting us updates on how things were going and even sending us a few photos. She is a great influence on our feisty beagle, and we could see how happy Daisy is to spend time with her. Friendly, responsible, attentive to Daisy's needs, we are 100 percent thrilled, and look forward to booking another session again soon. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter through Rover.com!”


6. Raquel A.

“Raquel was more than we could have hoped for. She is kind and professional, caring for our two dogs for five days/four nights at our home. She sent so many photos of them eating, playing, and sleeping, and kept in communication with us the entire time. She is perfect! FIVE STARS!!!!!”


7. Nicole P.


“Nicole was absolutely positively fantastic with our two dogs. She watched them for over a week during the holidays while we were out of the country and took such special & good care of my pups. She sent lots of pictures, videos and updates to us and the dogs looked so happy to be with her. I can’t recommend Nicole more highly!!!! Will re-book many times in the future. 🙏🏼🐾♥️”


8. Jess B.

“This our first time leaving our puppy for this long & Jess made it so much easier! The daily updates and pictures made us so happy! Will defiantly be hiring her again!”


9. Cinthia J.

“Amazing! Can’t thank you enough- above and beyond my expectations! I booked last minute labor weekend Vacation and Cinthia was able to not just accommodate the stay but also to come and meet and Greet. Justin has a very high Anxiety level without treating any Medication, An escape artist and very Suspicious.. It was great the way he clicked with Cinthia and felt comfortable she kept sending pictures and descriptions of the day. Highly recommended❤️?”


10. kaitlin s.
“We have a 10YO Rhodesian mix and a 4 month old Great Dane. From the time we brought our first home, Kaitlin has been playful, loving, attentive and proud. In his later years, when she is home visiting, she is the first to jump in and help with his love and care and meds. In addition, she balances her time and attention between him and our new puppy. And I could not ask for a better partner with our new Dane. Her willingness to jump in and take over the new-parent responsibilities (crate training, feeding, outdoor time, sleep schedule, clean-up, etc.) highlights her love for dogs and a level of responsibility many of her peers haven’t reached yet.”


11. Silvia R.

“Sylvia is excellent!! She was taking care of my two cats, always sending pictures (which I really liked) and sending heads up how the night/day went. She is very sweet and playful. I'm glad I found her and will definitely ask her again next time.”


12. Catherine K.
“Catherine was great! Super responsive, left the house in great condition, and kept our cats safe and happy. I’d 100% recommend booking and look forward to continuing to have Catherine sit our cats while we’re away!”


13. Judy L.
About: I've taken care of dogs which are german shepard and black lab and cats in the past. I taught them to walk to stand the door to let me know if they need to go outside. I'm currently homebody who is introverted, reading, and love to watch TV/movies. I am available to play, wash, feed, and take them outside to walk often. My one bedroom apartment is very neat and safe for pets to be in. I will look after them very well and great for cuddling. I do have a huge park across the street from my apartment which is great for walks and play.


14. Katharine M.
“Kat stayed at our home and took great care of our two elderly cats, gecko, and plants for two weeks while we traveled out of the country. We would love to have her again!”


15. Jessica S.

“Great care of our pets as always! And great communication! We have asked Jessica to look after our pets many times and she has always gone a wonderful job.”


16. Maria C.


“Maria made me feel so comfortable leaving my fur babies home during vacation. I could tell quickly they were doing great and probably had a little vacation of their own while I was out of town!”


17. Torre H.
“We have used Torre multiple times to take care of our dogs. He is AMAZING and super accommodating, Throughout the entire time, he keeps us updated with regular pictures and messages, which really puts our minds at ease. When we return home, we could immediately tell Torre is the perfect dog sitter. Our dogs were very happy, but also well taken care of, which is incredibly important to us. He is an exceptional communicator, always providing reassurance, and kept our dogs and our home clean and safe. His pricing is very reasonable, making his services accessible, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of pet care”


18. Katie V.

“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”


19. LisaLeigh R.

“LisaLeigh did a great job providing frequent text and photo updates so I knew how my puppers were doing”


20. Emily B.
