1. Liz K.
“Liz is amazing! She helped us out very last minute and we are so grateful she did. She even made the time to come and do a meet and greet ahead of time which put us at ease. She took fantastic care of both of our pups, was super responsive, took lots of pictures and provided lots of updates. Liz is an animal lover through and through and with her we knew our pups were in great hands!”
2. Andy M.
“Andy took excellent care of our three dogs, 2 large and 1 small. He was prompt and sent photos each day which showed how happy and well taken care of they all were. I would strongly recommend Andy - he is reliable and trustworthy and so good with the fur babies.”
3. Kayla L.
“We were out for a few days, and Kayla stopped by three times to take care of our dog. She attended to all our requests and more, very friendly and easy to work with. She kept us updated throughout the process. I highly recommend Kayla to all my friends who need a pet sitter or just drop-ins.”
4. Brandy D.
“Brandy took great care of my cat while I was away on vacation. She was great at communicating and giving me updates. She eased my mind with not having to worry about if my girl was in good hands or being taken care of. I would definitely have Brandy cat sit for me in the future and I HIGHLY recommend her.”
5. Loren M.
About: I've lived with multiple dogs all my life, they're my favorite animal. For the past 4 years, I have been fostering German Shepherds, in addition to taking care of my own family dogs. Also, I walk my neighbor's dogs during the day and watch them when the neighbors go out of town. I'm a super attentive, caring pet sitter. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of the pet's needs. The pet would only be alone for a few hours a day. I have a fenced yard but would take the dogs for a walk to do their business. Basic care would be provided, as well as, loving attention.
6. Jasmin R.
“Jasmin did an amazing job with taking care of my cat when I was out of town! She kept him fed, watered, and happy. Will definitely ask for her again.”
7. Paige H.
“Paige is the biggest dog lover you’ll meet! I have two large dogs (70 lbs and 115 lbs) and they absolutely adore her. She goes above and beyond to make sure they are happy, even if that means they sucker her into rubbing their bellies for 5 more mins. She does great with walking my dogs, especially since the 115 lb dog isn’t the best walker. She’s very patient and will love your little fur baby like her own. Highly recommend Paige to walk or dog sit your pup. She will also send you an abundance of dog pics if you’re missing your fur baby a little extra that day!”
8. Kassie L.
“Kassie is amazing with dropping in and taking care of my cat. She followed my instructions and took a lot of pictures. Will rebook with her in the future.”
9. Hayley N.
“Hayley has watched our cats multiple times and she is very responsible. She comes a few times per day and spends time with them. She does a great job cleaning the litter and leaving the house clean. I would highly recommend her to watch any pets.”
10. Cynthia A.
“Cyndi and John love dogs. Cyndi took care of my 15 year old Shih-Poo (Andy) and 14 year old Shih-Chon (Nema) during our vacation - she stopped by our house a few times each day. Our vacation ended up being a disaster right from the start, but Cyndi was calm all the time and adjusted to what we needed. I was not worried about the dogs at all. She sends photos after her visits and our 15-year old dog was running in the backyard! The dogs were calm and happy when we returned.”
11. Chase D.
“Chase was great with my two dogs. He was there promptly for my requested drop-ins and got my dogs playing and burning off energy. I would definitely use Chase again.”
12. Jack V.
“Jack is a caring and gentle man. He is trusted as a care giver to our older dog in our home when we are away. Our dog looked forward to his visits and loved being taken out for walks. Jack himself is in good shape and I suspect the dogs will be tired before Jack will. He will be a good choice for you!”
13. Casey C.
“Casey was absolutely fantastic taking care of my two cats while I was out of town. Not only did I feel she was capable of the everyday maintenance that comes with pets, but also that she provided the love and attention my pets missed while I was gone. I'd recommend Casey to my friends and family and will use her again in the future.”
14. Marianna D.
“Marianna is our pets' best friend! She has provided services for our 45 pound rescue dog on numerous occasions, taking him on walks and giving him ample snuggles. We also have three cats that she plays with and feeds. Shes reliable and friendly (to us and our animals!). I would certainly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
15. Arielle A.
“Arielle was really helpful when we needed a sitter over the holidays on short notice. She did a great job of communicating when she would stop by and spent lots of time playing with the animals. We will definitely use her again in the future!”
16. ELENA D.
“Elena was absolutely wonderful and we look forward to her caring for Ralf.”
17. Mikayla F.
“Mikayla is one of the sweetest people you could meet. She cares for animals and people with so much compassion and empathy. She is a future therapist, so it’s in her DNA!”
18. Ellie C.
“Where do I start with Ellie? First off, our pets LOVED her; way more than I think they usually love most other people! She is such a friendly and out-going person, and totally on top of communication. We even had a pretty big unexpected snafu happen, and she was accommodating and flexible to a degree I have never seen in other sitters. I can honestly say you won't be disappointed with Ellie or her services!”
19. Subrina S.
“Subrina has been excellent with our dogs. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience with Rover. We’ll keep requesting her help for as long as she’ll accept! Your dogs will be so happy you chose Subrina. It’s obvious to us when we see them after she’s walked or checked in on them.”
20. Veena H.
“Veena is the best cat sitter I’ve ever worked with. This is the second time hiring her and she always does an amazing and thorough job and her updates are heartwarming.”
