1. Stephanie B.
“Stephanie went above and beyond taking care of our cats. She took careful notes, got to know each of their personalities, and made sure they were engaged during each visit. It’s clear Stephanie loves animals, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!”
2. Lauren D.
“Lauren was beyond amazing with our dogs and with staying in contact while we were away. She spent the full time playing with the dogs and making sure they were fed and had water. Other people we’ve tried in the past would stop in for 15 minutes for a 30 minute rate. Would absolutely recommend Lauren, we hope to be lucky enough to get her again when the time comes! Thank you Lauren! Mark and Maggie”
3. Will T.
“Will is wonderful with our dog and wonderful to work with. He even organized a doggie play date for our dog with a neighbor dog. So creative and going the extra mile.”
4. Adrian D.
“Adrian has been great with my puppy. She has been great in helping remain consistent with his training and accommodating all my weird requests. My little boy loves Adrian!”
5. Kate J.
“Kate was very communicative from our first message. She set up a meet and greet with our cat. She has a lovely demeanor. Our cat came up and allowed her to pet her on her first interaction. Daily texts, photos and videos made it clear that our cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Kate for your pet care!”

“Wonderful! Stop looking and book Jamie. We are incredibly happy we found her. Rocky & Rosie couldn’t agree more. Great communication and photos! Can’t wait to book her again. We also plan on using her for the human kiddos too!”
9. Cody E.
“Cody is one of the kindest and most dedicated animal lover I have ever met. She will go to any length to make sure that her pets and other animals are taken care of to whatever end they need. She is well educated but still always seeking to learn more about various critters, their needs, treating ailments, and behaviors. She cares deeply about their enrichment and happiness and goes above and beyond with making sure that well taken care of. There is nobody that I would trust more with the care of my own pets than her.”

11. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie came to our house to let our dog out when we made plans last minute and were in a bind. She was very responsive and took great care of our dog. We were hesitant at first using Rover for a drop in visit as this is the first time we let someone we didn’t know into our home. Stephanie was very nice and instantly made us feel comfortable. We would definitely recommend Stephanie and would use her again in the future.”

15. Isabelle W.
“I love Izzy! I have been her hair stylist for the last 5 years, always love getting to spend time with her. When I got my first pup she offered to walk her during my long days at work. She is always on time, gives a thorough walk and will even go the extra mile to dry her off before bringing her back. 10/10 would recommend :)”
16. Danae S.
“Danae is a wonderful caregiver. Her experience and compassion for animals is evident. She is especially talented with shy dogs, giving them the love, patience and understanding they need to be comfortable. I would have Danae care for any of my pets with absolute confidence. I’m sure your pets will love her!”
17. Tyler C.
“Tyler is an exceptional pet caregiver! He is not only responsible and reliable but also truly cares for every pet as if they were his own. My dog instantly bonded with him, and I always feel at ease knowing she’s in such loving hands. Tyler's attention to detail and genuine passion for animals make him stand out. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter.”
18. Marion H.
“I've known Marion Hess for almost two years. She is a dog lover! When Marion offered her availability to take care of dogs when she was home from college on breaks, on our town's local facebook page. I contacted her, and she started walking our black lab mix rescue dog Chloe. She not only walks Chloe, she plays with her and takes her on walks on our town's trails. Chloe is always ecstatic to see her and runs to Marion's car to jump in. Having interacted with Marion many times since the spring of 2022, I can say without reservation that she is extremely well-qualified to take care of dogs. She is also a great communicator, prompt, reliable and of course, kind. It's been my pleasure (and Chloe's) to know Marion. We look forward to seeing her, as usual, when she is home on breaks from college. Sincerely, Beth Butler”
19. Cayleigh m.
“Cayleigh is an extremely trustworthy individual. She has an extreme soft spot for animals and has never encountered an animal she doesn't adore. Cayleigh treats all animals as if they were her children and I trust her with all 3 of my dogs! Overall she is an amazing choice for pet care and she will treat your adorable pets as her own!”
20. Kassidy L.
“Kassidy is a reliable, committed, and caring pet sitter. She’s taken care of my many animals (multiple dogs, cats and ferrets) on multiple occasions and always takes the upmost care of them! I book with Kassidy because I know my pets will not only be cared for but also receive lots of love and affection!”
