3. Cruz G.
“Cruz would be a great pet sitter or dog walker. He currently has two cats that I know get lots of love and care, and he grew up with dogs as well, so he is more than capable of giving your pet whatever they need! He also is a very trustworthy and responsible person. He is very careful with everything he does, and I cannot recommend him enough!”

6. Anissa R.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have a passion for caring for animals! I have cared for the pets of my family members before, including chickens! I would love to spend time with your animals :) I am a student with a very flexible schedule. On some days I only have class for 2-3 hours in the afternoon, so I have lots of free time to care for your pet(s)! I want to know all about your pet's personality so I can best care for them, and I will adapt to their needs and comfort!
7. Samantha S.
“Samantha is my go to pet sitter. She loves my animals like they are her own. Showing up as scheduled to love and feed them while I am gone. My dog loves when Samantha shows up for walks and the cat doesn't leave her side. My fish and ducks stay well fed too!”

12. Brianna R.
“This was my first experience with Rover and Brianna was great! She was flexible with all known and last minute requests while caring for my dogs at our house. She sent pictures throughout the week, communicated when she would be away from the dogs during the day and when she returned, provided updates on how they were doing, and didn't hesitate to ask questions if my notes were unclear. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future bookings. Thanks again!”
13. Garrett R.
“Garrett is incredible. He is so caring and communicative. My dog absolutely adored him. He treated us, our house, and our animals with such respect. He is incredible”
14. Brooklyn P.
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
15. Mary C.
“Mary was great with Thor, our senior German Shepherd, while we were away for two nights. And he loved her too! She even took great care of our house.”
16. Seth R.
“Seth was incredible with our dogs! I was a little afraid of how they would react to a stranger, considering they have only ever been boarded once 6 years ago. He suggested a test run before we left and it went much better than I expected - we were able to take a family vacation and did not worry about the boys! Would definitely have Seth watch them and house sit again!”
17. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She sent us frequent updates while we were away which gave us great peace of mind and she was a great listener with all of the little details of our goofy (and sometimes challenging) dog. She cleaned up after any messes he made and got him a variety of types of exersize as well as making sure he ate his food. She let us know about any problems and asked us how we would like them handled if she hadn't already taken care of it. She even brought a toy for him! Stephanie was such a blessing and we will be inviting her back if we travel in the future.”
18. Mason H.
“Mason was fantastic! He was tentative to all my Danes needs. He played, walked and fed according to our schedule. Mason has a great personality and my dogs LOVED him. Five stars are not enough!”
19. Melinda G.
“Melinda loves animals of all kinds. She has nearly 20 years experience with cats, but is also experienced with dogs and rabbits, and has shown herself to be a very attentive caretaker to animals of all kinds (except spiders). She has even assisted with the humane removal of individual bats from a residence on more than one occasion. She has a way of understanding an animal's needs that is amazing to witness.”
20. Ryan W.
“Leaving Piper with Ryan was a fantastic experience! She is knowledgeable, caring, and eager. Ryan kept me in the loop with photos and little tidbits on what they were up to, which helped me out, the worried Momma, tremendously! The house was in the exact shape I left it in. Ryan took great care of everything, most importantly, Piper...Thanks Ryan!”
