7. Lauren W.
“Lauren is very professional; she thought of everything. But also easy-going and chill. She had to deal with a broken sink, an extra foster cat, and communication with both my partner and me. She rolled with it all. As a bonus, her reviews are super funny. We were cracking up as we read them, and seeing the time she put into those updates made me realize she must have put that much effort into caring for our pets, too. Lauren really went above and beyond!”
8. Ashton B.
“Ashton was amazing with my cat! I was a little nervous leaving, but she made the whole experience completely stress-free. She sent regular updates, and I could tell my cat was happy and well cared for. My cat is usually scared and shy with strangers but with Ashton, he was playful and looked very comfortable. It’s obvious Ashton genuinely loves animals and takes the time to make them feel comfortable. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Ashton again next time I need a sitter”
9. Christine G.
“Christine has been an incredible pet sitter for the past six years, and I couldn’t ask for anyone better to care for my dog. She is reliable, attentive, and truly treats my dog like her own. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just giving extra love and attention, Christine always goes above and beyond. I never have to worry when my dog is in her care because I know they’re in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely loves animals, I highly recommend Christine!”

“Muggy loved Camille. . I had many questions since this was my first Rover stay she answered all of them. She was flexible when I had to change my time. Completed every task I asked her to do. Proided a picture of Muggy. I think we are lucky to found her and will use her again.”
14. Stefania V.
“Stefania is my childhood friend and I cannot emphasize enough the strong connection she has with animals, specially with dogs. She was raised in a household where dogs are an important part of the family so she has a lot of experience taking care of them. She’s very empathetic and loves making friends with any dog she sees so dogs on the streets follow her, and those of friends and family love hanging out with her the most. She treats all the dogs as if they were her own and she’s the favorite of all the dogs she gets to meet!!”
15. Marissa K.
“Marissa is an amazing dog sitter. She made five drop-in visits for my 5-month-old puppy. Not only did she take care of him, but she also improved his training! He improved the "sit" command and was finally starting to lie down on command and recognize his "place" in the living room. Marissa is compassionate, patient and understanding. My dog loves her. I hope to book with her again very soon.”
16. Lizabeth W.
“Liz W. loves animals. She cared for our boxer for two weeks during the dog flu pandemic a year and a half ago when we were advised not to board him. We had the trip planned prior to our adoption of Chance. Liz to the rescue!! She took great care of our home and Chance. Occasionally she will call to say hi and Chance goes nuts when he hears her voice.”
