1. Stacie R.
“This was our first experience with Rover and Stacie definitely set the bar very, very high. She offered to meet with us ahead of our trip to meet our dog and learn the routine, which really showed that she cares about what she does. She was so sweet to our little guy and sent is so many pictures! (Apparently way more photos than my friends received from their Rover sitters) She provided us with so much peace of mind knowing that our dog was in good hands while we were away. Thank you again, Stacie!!”
2. Melanie K.
“This is my second booking with Melanie and each time she’s been fantastic to work with…she made sure my kitty was given all of his medication and always took lots of pics during each visit. I highly recommend her!”
3. Laura S.
“Laura is just awesome. We have had her take care of our cat several times. She is communicative, reliable, thoughtful, and kind. She loves our cat like her own, which makes it so much easier for us to leave town. We are so grateful to have connected with her!”
4. Angela N.
“I was traveling with my folks (who usually keep my dog when I head out-of-town) for a brief overnighter and hired Angela for 2 drop-in visits for Hunter. As this was my first time using Rover, I was a bit nervous about hiring a 'complete stranger' to take care of my dog's needs (he typically barks at strangers), so Angela graciously agreed to a 'meet-and-greet'. Still, I 'harassed and stalked' her with numerous instructions and tips, etc. ahead of my trip, and she responded to all of my messages and notes with professionalism, tact and aplomb. I had no cause for worry as Hunter was in great hands. Highly recommend and I will certainly use her again should the need arise.”
5. Shelby L.
“Shelby came through in a clutch and was amazing with my 4 handfuls!! I knew I made the right choice and my furbabies would be in good hands. She was very professional and showed extreme care & understanding during the meet and greet and I could tell my darlings were so happy in all of the photos. The fact that they sat still for pictures is a testimony in itself! Thanks again for everything - You have a repeat customer over here. I'll definitely book again and recommend to all my fur parents!!!”
6. Stacy M.
“Five stars for Stacy! Stacy has watched our cats several times. She continues to be reliable and super helpful! She responds very fast to communications and our cats are always happy when we return home.”
7. Jessica V.
“Jessica was very kind and took good care of our puppy, while providing plenty of updates to put me at ease when I had to leave him at home for a while.”
8. Jordan B.
“Jordan has done an outstanding job caring for our dog. She consistently arrives early for her scheduled visits and often stays longer than planned. I've even noticed my dog sitting by the door, eagerly waiting for her to arrive, which shows just how much he enjoys his time with her.”
9. Ella A.
“Ella was an absolute doll. I immediately had a great feeling and sense of relief when she came to meet the pets. She was attentive, communicative, asked great questions and above all was kind and my pets absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking with Ella again and you won’t be disappointed if you do!”
10. Isobel S.
“Isobel was amazing with our cat & dog! The dog had some meds he had to take and she was a rock star making sure he took them at meal time! They loved having her come by, evident by all the pictures she sent during her visits! I will absolutely be having her come to care for our 4 legged babies again!!”
11. Julie K.

13. Lynn M.
“Lynn was a great pet sitter for my cats! She watched them over the holidays while we were out of town and sent tons of photos which were so cute. Even gave them some extra treats for a Christmas Eve feast which was so sweet. The cats seemed very well taken care of when we arrived home. Definitely recommend Lynn’s pet sitting services!”
14. Trace S.
“Trace has taken care of our large dog several times now and always does an excellent job! He's very communicative and sends great photos from his drop-ins!”
15. Grace A.
“Grace’s middle name should be “above-and-beyond” because she really went all the way to check in on my cat! It was so comforting to know my little guy was in good hands while I was gone. Her attention to detail is astonishing and you can tell how sincere her care is. I would 1000% hire Grace again. 10/10!”

She made sure to give them plenty of playtime and attention, and it was clear how quickly they warmed up to her. I sincerely thank Deedee for her care and happily endorse her services. I will definitely call on her again in the future!”
