“Leah is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our two cats. It is a unique situation because they stay in different parts of the house, but she handled it like a pro! She played with them and spent time with them! She sent updates and photos! Looking forward to having Leah come back soon!”


2. Gregory M.

“Greg and his girlfriend, Hannah, were so wonderful. My flight got delayed and I had to find a sitter to watch my two pups for the same day and they were fast to respond and very accommodating! Greg seemed super knowledgeable and sent me updates and pictures of my dogs! They were respectfully of my home and left it just as they found it! Definitely will book with him again :)”

4. Susan S.

“Susan was my house sitter for two weeks during my international trip. My four legged son was under her care and I can confirm that he was looked after very well. I’m so glad to have found her through Rover, and eternally grateful for giving me the peace of mind during my travels (knowing my baby is in a safe well cared environment. Thank you, Susan. Highly recommended.”


5. Kyle M.
“Kyle is great with my dog Moxie. He's watched her for long periods of time (usually 1 to 2 weeks) while I'm out of town and she absolutely loves him. He always keeps her on her schedule, which is great because she needs consistency. He always takes her for long walks (sometimes runs) and lets her sniff and explore to her hearts content to tire her out. I appreciate how attentive he is to her, particularly on walks, where she can pull a lot when there's squirrels and other animals around. I always trust him to keep Moxie happy and safe.”

7. Alexis M.

“Lexi was absolutely amazing! I know I’m a crazy pet owner. My animals are my first children. I cannot say enough nice things about Lexi! She followed my 3 pages of instructions, sent me pictures, never minded when I asked how things were going. When I got home my animals were so well taken care of! Lexi left treats and toys for all the animals. The house looked better than how I left it. I would 100% recommend Lexi and look forward to using her again soon!”

“Abby was very accommodating and caring watching our high energy puppy for several days. Most importantly, we came home to a happy dog. Abby handled an unexpected medical issue promptly and professionally and we felt confident and at ease with our dog in Abby's care. It was our first time leaving him with someone other than family and we would definitely use Abby again in the future.”


12. Molly A.
“I can't say enough good things about Molly as a dog walker! She’s been absolutely wonderful with my dog, and I trust her completely. Molly is punctual, reliable, and really takes the time to understand my dog’s personality and needs. She always provides great updates after each walk, which gives me peace of mind knowing my furry friend is in such caring hands. It’s clear that Molly truly loves animals, and I’m so grateful for her thoughtful approach to dog walking. Highly recommend her to anyone in need of a trustworthy and professional dog walker!”

“Anybody who knows Melina would describe her as deeply caring and reliable, both towards humans and animals. Her love for cats and dogs is immeasurable, and she takes great pride in providing them with the best care. With extensive experience in pet sitting, Melina has cared for dogs and cats with a wide range of personalities. She has an exceptional ability to bond with each pet, no matter how unique their character. I’ve seen this firsthand with my two cats, one of which is a special needs cat. Despite not knowing them well at first, she formed an immediate connection and took amazing care of them. Melina thrives on the responsibility of caring for animals and finds true fulfillment in ensuring their well-being.”
