1. Anais D.
“This was my first booking on rover and I was so anxious about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. Anais communicated well and frequently with me. I felt so much better knowing my dog was being taken care of!”
2. Devyn M.
“Devyn takes such good care of my cat! She always sends lot of pictures and gives her lots of cuddles. It’s great to know my girl is in good hands with Devyn when I’m gone!”
3. Jaqueline P.
“Jaqueline is simply amazing. She made sure to follow Milo's complicated feeding instructions and her daily updates with cute photos were such a comfort during a stressful time. When I got back, Milo was happy and relaxed, which told me everything I needed to know about the quality of care he received. I wholeheartedly recommend Jaqueline to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
4. Tina Y.
“At the meet and greet Tina gently introduced herself to Chilli, listened closely as we toured our home, took notes asked questions. She followed the written instructions we left for her and confirmed additional instructions we texted after we left for our trip. She texted us pictures of Chilli with updates. She also went beyond her responsibilities and checked for ants that had invaded our home before we left for our trip. She exceeded our expectations and we’ll definitely schedule her again soon!”
5. Marlene P.
“Marlene just did the first drop in visit for our two dogs. She was very communicative, punctual, and made sure to secure the house when she left. Plus it was a very rainy day, and she got the dogs all cleaned up when they came in from the yard. Glad we found a reliable person.”
6. Vanessa M.
“Vanessa is a kind, warm hearted, caring, pet lover and she treated our Nameste with all the TLC that he need in our absence. She did all that we requested, including pictures of our little guy. I would recommend her to others and I would definitely use her again.”

“Megan is just the best. She genuinely loves our dog and takes such good care of her, and our dog loves her. She’s also just incredibly helpful and an awesome person. We love you, Megan! Thank you for existing!!”
10. Monica E.
“Monica is an absolute gem! From the moment I met her, I knew my fur babies were in safe and loving hands. She truly goes above and beyond to make pets feel comfortable and at home. Monica is not only reliable and trustworthy but also has an amazing way of connecting with animals. My dogs, who can be hyperactive, loved her immediately. Monica sent regular updates and adorable pictures, which really put my mind at ease. It’s clear she loves what she does, and it shows in the care and attention she gives. I highly recommend Monica to any pet parent looking for someone special to take care of their furry friend!”

14. Stuart B.
“Stuart has been a dog lover from the first day I met him over 20 years ago. He owned a dog as a child and has always had an attraction to dogs of any type his entire life. He finally got into a position to be a dog owner once again a few years back and has been an attentive dog parent for KD. KD is a great rescue dog that has a mild and friendly temperament with all that he comes into contact with. Stuart would be a great dog sitter or dog caregiver if given the opportunity.”

18. Patrick & Emma W.

19. Marissa M.
“I have known Marissa for over 20 years and she has always exuded nothing but kindness, patience and an aura that eases you whether you just met her or have known her as long as I have. Any time I have had to go out of town or on a family trip Marissa pet sits for my sweet maltipoo Sunshine. I have never had to worry about my baby being fed or taken out for her walks. My dog was also abused before I adopted her and so she is very wary and nervous around new people but when she met Marissa she instantly warmed up to her and has loved her since. Marissa is also amazing with making sure that Sunshine gets her special dog treats that help with her joint pain in her hind legs. She has always gone out of her way to make sure that I know anything that goes on with sunshine and has so much patience with me it does not go unnoticed! Her character speaks for itself and if you want someone to watch your fur babies who you know you won’t have any doubts about she’s your woman!”
20. Alma R.
“Alma cares about animals so much. She took great care of my dog Zoe who has lots of energy. Alma took great pictures and had great communication the whole time. She also read my notes of how to best take care of Zoe and followed it well. I could tell my dog was so happy and well cared for while with Alma!”
