“I had to go on a work trip and I needed to find someone reliable and trustworthy to come to my house and take care of my two dogs. Miles was truly the right person for the job. He went above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. He sent me plenty of pictures and even offered to take some with his professional camera! He also spent some time with them after walks so that they didn’t feel lonely. If you’re looking for someone to take good care of your dogs, Miles is your guy for sure.”

Dunes pet parents share their Rover experiences
Merrisa was a fabulous sitter!! Her dedicated care and thoughtful communication left both our beloved Diego and us at ease! Highly recommend!!! Thank you for everything 🫶🏾

Love Stephanie! She is incredibly sweet, caring, and professional. She went above and beyond—not only did she brush my cats’ teeth, clean the litter box, and play with them, but she also vacuumed my room and even took out the trash! I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such great hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful sitter!

I really appreciate how well he took care of my dogs. He listed to all of my instructions and was a great person to interact with.

Bradley did a great job following the instructions during the visits with detail. I was impressed with how he handled my dog being over 100 pounds by establishing himself as a friendly presence before interactions. Highly recommend this young man for future opportunities.

Stacie was awesome, and took incredible care of my cat while I was away! She ensured Nala received her food and medication on time and spent time with her each day.

Denver was awesome! Took great care of our kitties. Always made sure they had what they needed and gave them plenty of scritches.
