13. Arleatha W.
“Arleatha took a great care of our english bulldog Sundae! This was my first rover experience and she did not disappoint. I was worried bc english bulldogs in general are pretty high maintenance so I wanted to make sure that whoever taking care of Sundae is familiar or at least has some experience with bulldogs. Arleatha was available to do a meet n greet prior to our appointment, was very accommodating and understanding of our situation and we had a great communication throughout the whole process. She also sent updates and pictures of Sundae. Thank you so much!”

18. Idalia P.
“I can’t put into words how extremely thankful I am that I chose Idalia as my dog sitter! I had an unfortunate incident happen while I was out of the country and she went above and beyond for my dog. She calmed my nerves reassuring me that she would do whatever she could to make my dog feel more comfortable. Idalia is an angel and I would choose her and only her to watch my fur baby from here on out. You can tell she truly loves animals and will treat your fur baby like her own.”
19. Shamyra S.
“Shamyra was an incredible sitter! She sent us regular updates and photos and was incredibly quick to respond with any questions. Would 100% recommend!”
20. Krysta W.
“I'd recommend Krysta time and time again as a pet sitter. She's one of the very few people who I trust to watch my dog. He's quite a handful and doesn't get along with just anyone. Krysta follows his feeding and walk schedule to a T and takes my pooch to a new place or park often!”
