2. megan r.

“Megan was great! Dogs warmed up really fast to her and the house was well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs!!”


3. Blake C.

“This was my first time leaving my doggo with strangers but Blake seemed to understand my anxiety around it. He responds quickly and professionally to questions and sent pics several times during the stay. My pup was so happy when I got home and clearly well taken care of. My home was also as clean when I returned as when I left. Highly recommend.”


4. Clare U.

“I was very pleased with Clare on our first booking that I will be using her as our sitter of choice in the future. She sent multiple pics of the dogs everyday and was so excited to play with our chickens. She even stripped the bed so I could just put on clean sheets when we got home. If I could rate higher than the 5 stars, I completely would.”


5. Katy T.

“We had a great experience with Katy watching Luna at our house. We got daily photos and updates and she was able to take care of Luna on a weekend with a lot of storming, which typically stresses Luna out. I would definitely recommend her!”

“She is so caring and loving of all dogs! The way she is which my dogs are amazing and they absolutely love her! We will be asking her to walk our dogs agin soon!”


7. Burgundy W.

“Burgundy has been wonderful with our dogs. Our dogs are a bit shy, nervous and take some time warming up to new people. Burgundy was very patient with them and by the second time she stayed with them, they were very comfortable. She has sent photos to show us what our dogs are up to. Very prompt with texts. She is just a nice person overall and you get that sense from the second you meet her.”

About: I’ve taken care of my own (two dogs, a chocolate lab (13) and Bernese mountain/husky (6)), my family’s, my friend’s pets.

17. Allison G.
“I am 73 so I speak from experience, both good and bad, with many dog caregivers. Allison is a responsible, mature and loving young woman. I have known her for several years. She has taken care of my precious 85 lb fur baby with love and common sense on many occasions. Dependable, knowledgeable, honest and experienced are the qualities I look for in a caregiver for my big dog, as well as love and connection. Allison has all these in abundance. Allison is physically fit and intelligent. She can easily handle a big dog and give them the exercise they require. I can depend on her to make good decisions should an emergency occur. I completely trust her to stay in my home when I am away, giving Lulu the security and calm necessary to make my absence less stressful. And she also loves and has experience taking care of cats. I guarantee you won't find a better person to trust your cuddle bug to. Hire her! You will be glad you did! Patty G.”


18. Amanda H.

“My pets were happy when we got home and the house looked just like we left it! Amanda was such a great communicator clearing up any questions I had about my first foray into Rover. Will check her availability first upon needing this service again!”
