1. Christiane H.

“Christiane did a fantastic job watching our fearful 1 year old yorkie. He warmed up to her quickly and snuggled up with her the whole time we were gone. Will definitely work with her again!”


2. Tom W.

“A rather last minute booking, Tom was a good communicator, prompt and friendly, stopping in twice while we were gone for the day.”


3. Brooke B.

“Brooke watched my dog (a boxer) on multiple occasions, who is sometimes difficult to handle since is he quite aggressive when meeting strangers and to my shock the moment I dropped him off they got along perfectly. She knew exactly how to handle him and gave him his space before approaching him . Two days later I could not believe my eyes when I picked him up since he was pulling me back so he could stay with her longer. Definitely recommend her and will be getting my dog back for a play date.”


4. Gilbert A.

“Follow-up review after ~1yr and multiple bookings with Gilbert: We’ve booked Gilbert on all array of situations — from planned vacations and last minute travel, from short weekend trips to weeks-long one, and from structured “let’s meet up to give you the keys” times to “please just go into my apt, the keys are on the counter” ones — and we could not me more happy to have had him help us all of those times. He’s a great pet carer, with a genuine love for animals that translates into great care for them. He sends daily updates with fun photos, he’s highly responsive and communicative, and is really flexible to our needs when possible. It’s a true gift to have found someone we feel so comfortable leaving our animal companions with — and we can tell right away once we’re back that our little ones have had a wonderful time in our absence. We’re truly grateful for Gilbert and hope to keep on working with him for many more years!”


5. Kristina R.
“Kristina goes above and beyond to ensure my dog receives the best care! She is compassionate and treats him like he is her own. She provided regular updates, which I greatly appreciated. Kristina is trustworthy and dependable. I highly recommend her!”


6. Paige D.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. My senior year of college I fostered several dogs and took care of them until they found their forever home! I ended up adopting my dog Frank after fostering him for several months. I am currently in between jobs so I have some extra free time during the work day for walks and visits. I can also be available on some weekends. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved when they're in my care. Whether I'm in my home or my client’s home, I will follow any instructions provided and keep a close eye on the pet to make sure they're happy and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Safety is always my top priority!


7. Paige N.
“Paige’s love of dogs is immediately evident whenever she’s around them. Whether she’s coming home to see her family dogs or meeting a new dog out in the neighborhood, the excitement in her eyes is always returned with a smile from these dogs. Bolstered by a keen sense of responsibility, she’s an exceptional person to trust with your pets.”


8. Niccole C.

“Niccole was the best sitter we ever had! Our cats really took to her even though one is the biggest scaredy cats. Niccole provided us with detailed updates of every visit and lots of photos to go with it. She even thought to water our plants which we forgot ourselves to even ask for. 10/10 recommend and will definitely ask her first anytime we go away! Thanks again Niccole!!”


9. Christopher G.



“Chris is the absolute best. Our dog immediately loved him and felt comfortable around him. He’s reliable, responsive, and a genuinely good person. Our dog is like a child to us and I can confidently say anyone would be lucky having him care for their fur baby. Incredibly grateful that rover led us to him!”


10. Nicole D.

“Definitely recommend Nicole! Was a fantastic sitter for my pup Cooper - super communicative and very responsive to all of Cooper’s needs! We can’t wait to see her again!”


11. Marcela L.

“Marcela was great! She took a last minute job to watch Melo and did a good job. She was communicative throughout the process and let us enjoy our vacation without worrying.”


12. Sonya E.

“Sonya is the best! My cat Lenny isn’t the easiest cat and takes warming up to. Sonya was super gentle and took her time with him. They ended up best buds and I was totally at ease during my 3 week trip. She is very responsive and even left my apartment tidy and free of litter. I can’t recommend her enough. Thank you Sonya!”


13. Megan G.

“Megan was incredible, very attentive to my three babies, administered daily medication without issue, and even swept around the litter box for me. I will definitely be booking with them again if I have the chance to. Thank you so much Megan!”


14. Samantha B.

“Samantha is the best! This is the second time we have booked her to watch our cat, Chester. She is communicative, includes updates with photos and a bunch of details, and is so great with Chester :)”


15. Gabriella C.
About: Not only have I grown up with several dogs my whole life, I have experience pet sitting and dog walking them and neighbors and other family members pets as well. Along with these services, I love running with dogs so I welcome high energy pups. I currently work part time and have a fairly flexible schedule. I am available for pet sitting weekday afternoons after 1pm and on weekends. For dog walking and other services I am usually available times additional to these including morning hours. I'm always happy to spend all of my time when I'm not working with one of your pups! I live close to several dog friendly parks and love to walk around the city which is perfect for walking dogs. I grew up with and love dogs so much and need somewhere to put that love while my two doggos are home with my parents! I also have experience taking care of dogs with anxiety and administering oral medications. I'm always willing and happy to do anything you need to make sure you are at ease when I'm taking care of your pets and your pets have the best experience as well.


16. Micah B.

“Thanks for taking care of Hershey (especially so last minute), and for checking up on my travels home! Would highly recommend Micah to take care of any pet!”


17. Renata J.

“Renata took great care of my cat while I was gone. She provided detailed notes of her visit and photos every time. She was very easy to communicate with as well. I would definitely book her for future visits!”


18. Eva & Tyler P.

“They are really great! They were on time every single visit for two weeks and sent plenty of great photos and updates- which made us to breathe easy and relax while we were on vacation! We used them for the first time for our trip and after only two visits we could tell we wouldn’t have to be worried about the cats in such good hands. We’ve tried about 5 sitters in the last 4-5 years and we’ve never come back to such normal behavior and activity like we did after two weeks with Eva and Tyler!”


19. Steven A.
“Steven has a special connection with dogs. He is a loving and responsible caregiver. He has taken wonderful care of our 7 1/2 year old cavapoo Jax for years now. I trust him implicitly.”


20. Grace O.

“Just thrilled to have found Grace - she took wonderful care of our Bella. Grace is so personable and great to communicate with - we recommend her very highly 🐾”
