1. Kimberly Q.

“Kimberly was fantastic! House looked great and Jolie was happy and healthy and chilling when we got home. She went above and beyond to make sure everything was well taken care of and provided peace of mind our entire time away. Sent lots of pics and updates and I just can’t say enough good things about her. 10/10 amazing.”




2. Jamie F.


“Jamie watched my sweet 6 month old cat while we went home from thanksgiving. She was amazing! She made me feel so comfortable leaving my baby behind. She sent so many pictures, gave me updates, and left the house spotless! I HIGHLY recommend Jamie’s services and I hope to have her watch my cat for me again!”


3. Juliette G.

“Juliette was fantastic with our three fur children for a long house sitting stay! She had great communication, sent us photos and videos, and took exceptional care of them. She will be our new go to sitter!”


4. Sam S.

“My impression is that dogs love being around Sam. Sam is very reliable, accommodating and responsible person. Also she has great understanding of pet’s needs and takes actions accordingly. It’s a fantastic quality when you can be sure that dog sitter would be able to anticipate your pet needs when you are away.”


5. Danielle T.
“Danielle was amazing! She kept me informed on how my dogs are doing and she made sure to give my elder dog her medication in the mornings and at night and sometimes during the day if she needed it. Danielle was very responsive and she kept my house, clean and tidy, definitely use her again”


6. Erin F.

About: Taking care of animals isn’t just a job to me, it’s a hobby! Giving them the proper care they need brings me happiness everyday! I’ve had animals since I was 5 years old, and I’ve learned so much as a I got older. Bathing them, making sure they have a consistent food schedule, and giving them love and attention is my main priority! I will love your fur babies like my own and give them the best care they need. I’m currently working in a restaurant, so my availability would be Sunday through Thursday the full day and night, and every other Friday and Saturday. In your home I’ll first make sure your fur baby trusts me and gets used to me as I know I’m a new person in their home. I’ll make sure their properly fed with your schedule, bathe them if need be, taking them on walks every couple of hours, and giving them one on one attention.


9. Claire S.

“Our pets loved Claire! She is very responsive, takes pictures, and provides daily updates. Highly recommend and we will be using her services again.”


10. Carly B.
“I have two pups, Mya and Milo, that Carly always takes great care of when she watches them. Mya is a 17 year old Jindo, which if you know anything about the breed, you know they are very smart, very loyal, and can be very protective. On top of that, she also has health issues that requires medication and attention. Due to both of these things it is extremely hard to find someone both we and Mya trust to watch her when we are away, but Carly is one of those few people. She is gentle and patient with Mya, makes sure medications are given at the correct time, and sends us pictures to ease our anxiety of being away. Milo on the other hand is a Corgi who is much, MUCH easier to handle. She is equally as great with him, and I think he might like her more than us (he sure seems disappointed when we come home). All in all, she is very kind and attentive towards our dogs’ drastically different needs, and I would recommend her to anyone who is needing someone to take care of their pups — whether it’s just for walking or extended time away.”




11. Susan T.

“Susan did an amazing job watching my fur babies. I had used Rover once before and did not have the greatest experience . However, Susan came and introduced herself and met the dogs (who took to her immediately). She sent me pictures and communicated with me on a daily basis. She is very trustworthy and dependable and did an excellent job. I would 100% use her again and highly recommend her.”


12. Ruth S.

“Ruth was amazing with our dog and cat. She was prompt and very communicative throughout the visit. Our dog required eye drops and medicine and she was able to administer them with no issues. She also cleaned up after the pets and ensured our sheets were clean and ready for us when we came back home on a late flight. Lastly, she even coaxed our very shy cat out from hiding! We appreciate her professionalism and taking such great care of our pets!”


13. Alexia O.
“We’ve used Alexia multiple times to watch our furbabies when we were out of town or couldn’t keep to their strict schedule. We have 2 dogs and a cat. One of the dogs has diabetes and has to eat every 12 hours and be given insulin. She is very kind, dependable, and the animals absolutely love her. There are very few people we trust with our furbabies and she has proven herself time and again. It is very nice to be able to make plans and know our animals are being taken care of and loved on like we would.”


14. Christine M.
“I always ask Christine to care for my cat, Rocky, when I travel. I know I can trust her to meet all of Rocky’s needs when I am away from home. She is very caring, kind and dependable. Rocky loves her and so do I.”




15. Nicole L.

“Nicole was amazing! She cared for our two doxies overnight and have them the best experience! She was on time, communicative and planned a lot of fun activities for the girls. 100% will book her again!”


16. Sophia F.

“Sophia did a great job for us. She sent multiple pictures every day, our dog bonded with her quickly and she left the house clean. It was the first time we used Rover and it was an excellent experience.”


17. Michaela T.

“Michaela took great care of my babies while I was away for the weekend! I had to tell her the day she was arriving that one of my dogs needed meds as a result of an appt that morning and she happily administered her meds! She sent photos and updates and I never worried about their care while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michaela for future services.”
