“We loved having Tiffany as our house sitter while on vacation this past week! She is always so attentive to our pups and makes a huge effort to care for them when we are gone. I love when she texts us pictures to show how they are doing. We love Tiffany!”
3. Angela C.
“Angela is amazing! She stayed at our home with our 3 pups and she was excellent about communicating and letting us know how they were doing. A friend recommended Angela and I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again. I know my pups were taken care of and loved while we were gone which allowed us to relax and enjoy our weekend trip. Thank you Angela for everything!”
4. Odessa (Carleigh) They/Them L.

6. Trinity B.
“Trinity was great with my pup. He had the best time ❤️”
7. Kelley B.
“It's difficult to know who you can trust to care for your animals when you aren't home. For us, it's also been a concern knowing who we can have watch our very senior dog, Kingston. Kelley has been a trusted caregiver for us three times now and I am so grateful to her for being willing to stay in our home and watch the "babies" when we're away.”
8. Ember S.
“Ember was absolutely fantastic with our Husky. She played with him, went out of her way to make him frozen Kings, and even BRUSHED him which is a whole chore for husky owners? She made us feel at ease while we were away and helped around the house while we were gone - took out the trash on trash day, gathered/sorted our mail, and went above and beyond washing towels and sheets. We were very appreciative of Ember and will book again!”
9. Ronda S.
“Ronda was not only efficient and responsive, sharing twice-daily feedback about the care and feeding of our two kitties, but she was also able to establish an affectionate bond with them during our 16-day absence. We are pleased to give Ronda 5 stars and would highly recommend her.”
10. Stella P.
“Stella's love for animals has always been impressive to me. When I've had the pleasure of having Stella take care of my cats she always goes the extra mile and I've never had to feel bad for being away because of the extra care I can tell they've been given when I am away.”
11. Alan P.
“Alan was great with our dogs and sent us pictures throughout the trip. House was very clean and the pets were happy when we got back. We will definitely book with him again.”
12. Carmen C.
“Carmen did a wonderful job watching our home and caring for our senior dog while we were away. She gave us periodic updates while we were gone but was also always available whenever we reached out to her to make sure things were going smoothly. When we arrived home, you would have never known she was here, she left everything just as clean as when she arrived. We will absolutely be booking her again in the future!”
13. Farrin W.
“Farrin is an angel and took amazing care of my little treasure! She is attentive, loving toward animals and kept me feeling secure knowing she was there while I was gone! I'll never need anyone else to take care of my buddy...thank you Farrin for being absolutely incredible! My buddy is very "complicated" with his care, so I really needed someone that understood the complexities of caring for a dog that has special attentive needs, especially at feeding time. Farrin excelled my expectations and left me feeling blessed knowing she was here. Thank you Farrin, you ROCK!”
14. Alexis F.
“Alexis has taken care of my 7 dogs about 6 times and each time I have come home to happy and healthy dogs. She takes care of my dogs as if they are hers. My dogs are always happy to see her. She follows any special directions I leave to the letter. Alexis texts me photos and gives me updates on them. I have been very blessed to have her to take care of my fur babies!”
15. Michelle A.
“Michelle was very sweet and accommodating. She is a good communicator and will take good care of your pets.”
16. Cindy L.
“Cindy walks my two dogs, a Husky and an Australian Shepherd, whenever I can't walk them. When I broke my foot, when I am traveling, whenever I am out too long during a day. She has been reliable, keeps in touch, and lets me know if there was any issue with the dogs. Both dogs love her and wait at the door when I tell them Cindy is coming. I can highly recommend her!”
17. Alexander H.
“Alex was awesome and even took the initiative to come out to the house a few days prior to meet the pups and familiarize himself with them etc. Will definitely book with him again!”
18. maribel M.
About: I decided to join Rover because I found that there is a shortage/need for reliable dog walkers and boarding care.. My husband and I only have furbabies, no children. They mean everything to us. We have volunteered and served as a foster family for three different pet rescue organizations in the area for several years. I currently do volunteer work at my local church so so my schedule is generally flexible. I have time to dedicate time and attention to your furbabies. I live on two dog friendly acres with a fenced in yard. I have three friendly dogs who will love to socialize with your furbaby. I am currently on leave from work. Aside from being a foster mom to four school age kids, this is my primary work at this time. I have a fenced in yard to keep dogs safe, three dogs to keep them company and time to personally play with them as well.
19. Emily B.
“Emily was gracious and willing to jump in to take care of my animals with pretty short notice. She was absolutely fantastic and my house was well taken care of. Thanks, Emily!”
20. Jordann A.
“Jordann was great and we wouldn’t hesitate to book again! Our dogs aren’t used to being left at home without someone they know well, but we had limited options for this trip. She was super flexible when we asked about doing a meet and greet and the dogs (one of which is medicated for his anxiety) seemed immediately comfortable around her. She stayed with them in our home for 3 days and when we got back the house was clean and the dogs were happy, I couldn’t ask for much more than that. Would definitely recommend!”
