Kaydence is a respectable and responsible bet owner and pet care taker. She’s watched my dogs more than once and I’ve been pleased with the outcome every single time. My dogs tend to me more on the nervous side and she worked with them on there time to gain there trust quickly.

Ryan has always had dogs in his life, whether his own or those entrusted to his care. He loves them and they love him. They know he is always up for a long walk, playtime, or a cuddle—it’s heartwarming to see how they interact.

Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.

Robert is awesome. Dependable, on time, and took great care of Mabel and Mary. My dogs can be a little excited and have separation anxiety, but Robert knows how to handle it. Highly recommend him!

Brittany was amazing and so patient with our new, energetic puppy! She was super sweet with our other pets as well, and took the puppy on a much-needed walk to calm her down. So happy to have found her for our weekly Rover walk! Would absolutely recommend!

As our first time using Rover, it was a great experience with Harrison. Our dog can get nervous/overly excited when meeting new people and Harrison was able to calm him down with pets and attention. He was very kind, considerate and asked great questions when it came to our dog’s care and was very communicative if he had any questions or anything came up. Highly recommend!

Gabrielle house-sat and cared for my two dogs and a batch of chickens during three separate week+ vacations. She is great, took perfect care of our home and the animals were sorry to see her leave. She took the dogs for long hikes every day -- they were tired out! I would be happy to provide a glowing reference for Gabrielle any time. Your property and pets will be in loving hands.

Amanda has been a lifesaver walking my fur baby 1-2 walks/day for 2 weeks now. She goes above and beyond to give my anxious-when-alone-pup so much love and attention while I am working long shifts. She gives great updates on how he is doing, and is so thoughtful and attuned to what he needs. Every night I come home to a happy and not anxious pup, which is such a comfort! So thankful my furbabe and I found her when we are new in town!

Sylvia has looked after my senior cat on multiple occasions, and there are few people I trust so fully with her wellbeing. She is attentive, reliable, caring, communicative, proactive, and very organized. I know that my cat’s best interests, personality, and health are being looked after as if it were myself - and my cat is receiving the fun, affection and genuine care from someone who cares about and respects animals. Wholly recommend her as a trusted sitter for pets.

If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and lovely young woman to watch your pet - you've found her! Eleanor is experienced with pets - she has always had her own pets (dogs & cats). She has helped me with my dog, a chihuahua, when we have been away. She is very loving and caring and completely reliable. I really can't say enough good things about Eleanor - you will not be disappointed, and your pet will be in excellent, capable hands.

I have a high maintenance little rascal of a pup named Winnie. I asked Lilah to watch her one weekend when I was out of town due to a family emergency. It was already unbelievably stressful, as is being a pet owner who is often tied up in family matters. Lilah sent me regular updates with cute pictures of the fun activities they were doing together. Not to mention, my pup hates almost everyone and Lilah was able to form a bond with her unlike any guest I had seen enter my apartment! They still get along great and Lilah is truly the only person Winnie will let walk her without me. Overall great work!
