“Kim was wonderful. She checked in before, during, and after and made sure the dogs were well loved. I felt comfortable that my dogs were in great hands and I most certainly will use her again!”


2. Kaia M.
“There is no one else I would leave my Harper with other than Kaia. She is honest, caring and dependable. She is a natural animal lover and shows great respect and character when dealing with simply anyone. I am without a doubt a crazy dog mom but knowing I have Kaia to care for my Harper when I can't be there puts my mind at ease. If you're lucky enough to have Kaia care for your pets you'll undoubtedly feel the same way. ~Debbie F.”

9. Emily P.

“This was my first time using the Rover App and we were so fortunate to find Emily! From the moment we met her for a meet and greet, I knew we made the best choice with having her watch our older cats. Emily was punctual, trustworthy and a real value to us as we didn’t worry about our family cats while we were away. We would highly recommend Emily to care for your pets, you will not be disappointed.”




10. Kathy R.
“I am overly cautious with the care of my two cats. I have known Kathy for a long time and she’s amazing. I don’t just leave my cats in the care of just anybody. I know my girls are happy and safe with Kathy taking care of them.”


11. Paul D.

“Paul was great! He made himself available for a pre-visit meet and greet and was warm and professional. His communication was responsive and he provided great updates. It was a pleasure to work with a mature and reliable sitter. We will not hesitate to ask him back for our next sit!”

13. Jason C.
“If you are looking for a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter, Jason is the right choice. Our dog, Leon, always feels comfortable and enjoys his walks and stays at Jason's place! He treats Leon like his own dog and is very patient and understanding. Jason is also a super reliable and quick communicator. If there are any questions about any instructions for care or drop-off, he is quick to respond! Additionally, he is great with sending photos and video updates throughout the day to let us know what Leon is up to as well! I would highly recommend Jason as a dogsitter and will continue to rebook whenever we are away:)”


14. Nicomedes R.
“Nico is a gentle, loving, animal sitter that is extremely in tune with doggy needs. If your pet doesn’t meet Nico they are missing out on a lot of hugs, joy, and love! If you want your pup to feel appreciated while you’re away, Nico is the one to fill in the gaps and make them feel like his own. I highly recommend him and always will!”

16. Brandi D.

“Brandi took care of my three pups for the day recently. She was very thorough and conscientious. My oldest dog had just had surgery so there was extra concern there about trying to keep them from playing too rough. It also involves keeping them I. Separate sleeping areas so that the other two wouldn’t lick his sutures. She handled all of this extra work very well.”


17. Rain O.

“Rocky loved spending time with Rain. She was very easy to communicate with and was very caring and attentive. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.”

19. Arin P.
About: I grew up fostering dogs and cats and have cared for dogs of all ages with a wide variety of needs. I am experienced with dogs with behavioral and medical issues of all sorts as well as cats, fish, tarantulas, birds, guinea pigs, and lizards. I currently work full time on a flexible schedule and am able to work remotely most days for at least half the day. My normal workday is from 10-6. I prefer to meet your pet where they are at and only use crates if that is what they are used to and comfortable with. I also always walk dogs with a leash and harness and prioritize safety. I will only let them off leash inside the home or at a fenced dog park with your approval.


20. Sarah Z.

“Sarah Z The aka "dog whisper". I have never been away before and I have two protective yet talkative yet shy 11 month old German shepards, Sarah came over and met my girls and it was like a whole new experience yet training training session in one! She is kind compassionate and so amazing with animals. I felt so at ease leaving my kids with her when I went away, I would highly recommend her to anyone! Honestly this was my first time using this app but I will always use Sarah two thumbs up and a bunch of gold stars.”
