21. Ashlynne R.
“Me and my boys absolutely loved Ashlynne , and hate that she moved away..I have a German shepherd(Jinx) and a pit bull (Cosmo) with hyper energy yet well trained, she had no problem taking them walking and getting them out the house every day (I work long hours some days) adding the few times I asked her to dog sit for the weekends I went on trips, she did everything possible for them and loved them like her own . I was FaceTimed/sent pictures randomly, they were definitely spoiled by her . she will be missed and I hope she visits us soon!”

“Wow! is what I have to say. Stephanie and Tom were awesome my sweet boy RyeLee loved it and him and Kane had a blast. She kept me updated with videos and text. I was so pleasantly pleased with Stephanie I can't wait for RyeLee to go and play with them again.

“Im glad i had her as Keko babysitter she is very patient and always show love to keko like sleeping with him ,playing catch with him and keko a VERY hyper dog but she took really good care of him .”


29. Chelsea W.
“Chelsea is absolutely amazing with animals. I actually adopted my baby boy from her back in January 2024 and he has been such a blessing in my life. Whenever I need someone to watch my boy, I know I can always count on her to watch him but also take the best care of him, so I am not worrying the whole time. She remembers all his allergy issues and his routine schedule and always sends me lots of videos and photos throughout the whole day. I trust Chelsea the most with my boy and that is such a peaceful feeling when you are away from your child. Hank also loves his foster mama so much. Highly recommend Chelsea for a loving pet caregiver while you are away.”

35. Sandee W.

“I have been using Rover.com for 3 years and Sandee has exceeded our expectations as a care giver. I love that she only took one dog at a time.
