2. Kaitlyn C.

“I was frantically looking for someone to drop in and walk my two dogs super last minute, and Kaitlyn saved the day. She followed instructions and was able to handle my big German Shepherd and smaller Shepherd. I am grateful to have found her and would definitely request her again - thank you, Kaitlyn!”




3. Dee N.


“It’s always bitter sweet to leave Dee reviews—she’s an AMAZING sitter, but I don’t want anyone else to book her because my cat and I cherish her. She’s reliable, caring, and once again, went above and beyond to make sure my cat was given the best of care! Thank you for all you do, Dee!❤️”


4. Brenda C.

“Brenda did an awesome job looking after my two cats, notoriously shy, she got them to hang out and play! I already asked her to do another drop-in, she’s super reliable and the cats seemed very happy with how much time she spent with them!”




5. Brian S.

“Brian was fantastic. I wasn’t worried about my pets even a little while leaving them in his care. He arrived on time, communicated well, sent fantastic pictures to me after every visit, and most importantly my pets enjoyed his company. 10/10. If I need to use Rover again in the future, Brian is my first choice.”


6. Audrey P.

“Audrey is quick to reply to dog sitting requests and provides great updates (with pics) from the visit with our pups. We highly recommend her services.”


7. Nat M.

“Nat was wonderful w/ our 2 dogs, one of which is a 12-week old puppy! Really thoughtful and professional and gave us peace of mind! Will book again for sure!”


8. Marcus L.
“Marcus incredibly reliable and trustworthy and clearly cares about animals. We have used him to watch our pets on numerous occasions and he always goes above and beyond what he’s asked to do, and our dog is always happy to see him (which speaks volumes!). I highly recommend choosing Marcus for your pet sitting needs!”


9. Tori D.

“Tori was able to help me at the last minute with my feral cat. She literally came to my rescue when I wasn't home and forgot to leave food out. I can't thank Tori enough for her exceptional care and communication with me. THANK YOU TORI!!!! Paul”


10. Marcella R.
“As Marcella's mother I can attest that she grew up with pets and was a loving "pet mother"! We had 3 cats while she was growing up. She always helped with feeding and grooming, and especially playing with the younger ones. She even trained our Norwegian Forest cat using a book and persistent effort. To this day that cat, Princess, loves Marcella to bits and will do anything for her, even though she lives in another state from us. You can trust your beloved pets with Marcella. ❤️😺🐕”


11. Rozy C.

“Rozy has been checking in on my baby girl Remy for about 2 months now. Rozy has been an incredible human to my baby!! She’s understanding, loving to Remy, and communicative. I work 12 hr shifts so I’m unable to check in throughout the day but knowing Rozy is stopping by makes me feel at peace. Your pup will be in great hands!!!”


12. Olivia D.

“Olivia did such a great job dropping in on my cat during a recent trip. We met up in advance and my cat immediately took a liking to her. She is very warm and I felt very comfortable having her come into my home. I look forward to having Olivia back again soon.”


13. Tara S.

“Tara has become our new go-to sitter. She is reliable, friendly, communicative, and trustworthy. We feel so relaxed knowing our animals are in good hands.”


14. Brooklyn E.

“Brooklyn has been an absolute lifesaver when it comes to watching my 15-week-old Labrador Retriever puppy. She’s consistently punctual and incredibly flexible with scheduling, which is so helpful given how unpredictable life with a young pup can be. Most importantly, I feel completely confident that my puppy is in great hands with her. Brooklyn is patient, attentive, and always keeps me updated, which truly puts my mind at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter!”


15. Lilli L.
“Lilli was an absolute gem with our dog Tesh! From the moment we met her, she was warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about pets. She took the time to learn Tesh’s routine—his favorite walking route, how he likes his treats, even his quirky habit of chasing his tail before bed. Throughout the stay, she sent us adorable updates with photos and little notes that put us totally at ease while we were away. Tesh came back happy, healthy, and maybe even a little spoiled from all the love! Lilli’s reliable, communicative, and goes above and beyond—I can’t recommend her enough.”


16. Vyless E.
About: I grew up with large breed dogs and even had to take care of puppies for many years. I have a dog of my own who adores others and a fenced in yard where the pets can run and play all day. I am mostly home all day except for the occasional errand run! Let me know what your expectations are and how I can make you feel secure. Please note I do require a crate trained dog and can provide the crate. I will gladly take your pet out with me to explore and can provide many check ins. Let’s chat and I’ll care for your fur baby as if they were mine I have a fenced in yard that your baby can run around in and a safe neighborhood we can go on walks. Let me know of any habits and temperament of your baby and I will adjust!


17. Teagan F.

“Teagan is just wonderful! My pets love her, she’s sweet, communicative, honest, on time, flexible and has gone above and beyond to take care of my pets while I’m away. So grateful for her!!”


18. Callahan R.

“Call was awesome when I needed a Drop-In for my pup on a relatively short notice. She was attentive to his peculiarities, particularly his colder-shoulder to anyone new in the house - which she handled with ease. Trustworthy, kind and reliable, Call is the exact person you’re looking for to take care of your pets. 10/10 will book again. Thanks Call!”


19. Julia F.
“Julia grew up with 2 cats. She was the adoring cat mom early on, ensuring that the cats were fed, watered, litter box cleaned, and most importantly - played with and loved. Although we did not have dogs in our home, her friends all did, and she enjoyed going on walks and camping adventures with the dogs. She volunteered at a cat rescue for 2 years as a young adult, and when she went away to college Julia immediately became involved with the cat rescue shelter on her campus. She started fostering as soon as she had a place that allowed cats. She has enjoyed house/pet sitting as a job while away at college, always sharing stories of her animal clients! Although I'm technically this Rover's mom, I can vouch for her care and love of animals! And, as the oldest daughter, I can also attest to her trustworthiness and ability to follow through.”




20. Michael A.

“This is our second time booking with Michael. He took very good care again of our three kitties. Home was clean and despite not asking him to he washed the pet dishes for us so that was nice. Thanks, Michael.”
