1. Alicia S.
“Can’t recommend Alicia enough!! She was incredibly attentive to Indi while I was away and left amazing updates and I enjoyed all of the photos she left while I was away - not to mention she was able to book last minute when my usual sitter fell through. 10/10 will be reaching out to Alicia first for all future pet sitting needs!”
2. James R.
“James did a great job taking care of my cat Misha while I was out of town! She is normally very shy, but after only a few days she had already warmed up to him. Would definitely recommend his services if you're in need of a drop-in cat sitter!”
3. Christine C.
“Christine is excellent! What I like about her is she communicates well and clearly follows every instruction you ask her. Paris our cat was well taken care of. She was on time and updated if she's on her way and once she finished the drop-in. Definitely a trusted sitter! I will highly recommend her. Thank you so much Christine! :)”
4. Taylor R.
“Taylor is the best! She took such great care of my two cats. They both loved her (even the shy one) and she stayed and cuddled them for so long 🥹 Very thorough and loved the updates!”
5. Marinna V.
“Marinna was excellent. She took great care of my two doggies! Great with pics and communication, and showed genuine affection to my fur babies! Will def use again!”
6. Misha Z.
“Misha was always on time and took good care of my pups while I was away. I definitely recommend him.”
7. Jessica U.
“Jessica is wonderful! She took excellent care of our dog, spent lots of time time playing with her, and sent lots of pics from each visit. We have booked her several times and will definitely contact her again for future bookings. Thank you so much!”
8. Brandy B.
“Thank you! I saw your question on the tricks. I would love to teach her how to shake. I have tried a few times but it hasn’t caught on. Open to other ideas too. I am also open to ordering any toys you think would be good for her. I got one of those dog feeder snuffle mats but not something you can use when you just drop in!”
9. Giovanna P.
“Giovanna took excellent care of our boys while we were away. It was great to have peace of mind while we were traveling that they were safe and happy and even more wonderful to come home to well rested and content dogs - which never happens when we send them for overnights at daycare! Would recommend her to anyone seeking the same.”
10. Summer S.
“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Our experience with summer was truly amazing! She really took the time to understand our needs. We just took on a rescue puppy a little over a week ago that’s a pit mix. She’s never been domesticated and had a lot of notes for care. We also have a high energy German shepherd who has a few notes as well. We did not feel comfortable boarding them / her as she’s so new to a home we didn’t want that to be a stressful experience for her. Summer came to do a meet and greet and they couldn’t have been more ready to play with her! She took time to get to know their behaviors and adapted to each of them, giving us very thorough pupdates along the way. You can tell how much she truly cares about the dogs and really understands their behaviors & how to manage two different personalities of doggo. I’ve already raved to some groups about her services and would absolutely use her again! Thanks so much, Summer!!!”
11. LaShanda H.
“Shanda was so attentive to our dog Wilbur. She followed instructions meticulously and asked great questions. We loved the updates we got during her drop-in. You could tell Wilbur was head over heels for her! Really lucky we found Shanda.”
12. Mark S.
“Mark is so kind and we feel that our dogs were in very good hands with him! He clearly has a lot of experience with dogs and animals. We will absolutely be reaching out to Mark again when we need a dog walker or sitter.”
13. Elisabel B.
“Elisabel has been wonderful helping take care of my Bernedoodle puppy while I work. She does regular visits on a weekly visit and will play her or take her on short walks and makes she she has something to eat and drink also. Our pup is always happy and well cared for when Elisabel visits. I would definitely recommend her to someone else.”
14. Sarah R.
“Sarah is the best sitter!!! I loved getting daily updates and pictures while she was watching my cat. I highly highly recommend - it was my first time using Rover and I'm so happy I went with Sarah!! And I'll be booking her again :)”
15. Monet F.
“I travel a lot for work on a short notice and Monet has always been willing to jump in and help watch my senior cat Merlin! He can be really shy around strangers but he immediately bonded with Monet and loves getting to stay at her place and hangout with her kitties as well. I couldn’t recommend her enough as a pet sitter! 💖🐱”
16. Leslie V.
“Leslie is one of the only people I will trust to watch my dog when I go out of town. She is so sweet and caring and treats my pup just like her own!”
17. Robert "Chad" B.
“Chad is very good with my senior dogs. He’s conscientious of my dogs needs. I’m happy to say he is a reliable walker.”
18. Melanie C.
“Melanie was wonderful! She communicated clearly and promptly throughout every step of the process (booking and during visits). She kept us updated at each visit with messages and pictures. We returned home to find all of the instructions for our babies' care had been followed and everyone was happy and healthy. We would not hesitate to hire her again.”
19. Holly B.
“Holly is our absolute favorite! I would highly recommend her to my family and friends. We know the animals will be taken care of and loved on when Holly is helping!”
20. Erin Y.
“Erin is an incredibly amazing pet caregiver! I was out of town recently for an emergency and needed someone to watch my dog with short notice and she took the job even though it was sprung on her so suddenly! She gave me frequent updates and my dog absolutely fell in love with her; I feel so safe trusting her with my puppy!”
