1. Cheryl K.


“The best! Thank you, Cheryl! Leaving my pup is the hardest thing for me. Cheryl ensured I felt completely fine by checking in regularly. She’s a natural dog whisperer and Bruno will certainly be missing her until next time! And there will definitely be a next time!!”


2. Karen B.

“Karen is the absolute best! She made time to meet with me before the actual day I booked. She wanted Millie to know her before the sitting appointment. She provided a safe, calm environment for my dog during a loud time (fireworks) and went me pictures and updates throughout the night. Karen took such good care of Millie. I never worried while I was out. She's a doll!”


3. Nikoleta T.

“Nikoleta was GREAT! We always wonder/worry how our pets are doing and Nikoleta sent us many updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease! She was very respectful of our place and I think it might have been cleaner after she left than it was when she arrived! We’ll definitely book with Nikoleta again!”


4. Claire A.

“Amazing experience and highly recommend!! Plan to have her watch Scarlet for upcoming dates! Love getting pictures of Scarlet!! Thank you!!”


5. Justin L.

“Justin was so great with my dog! He was communicative and attentive to her. He was also lovely to work with and I will definitely be looking to book him the next time I’m out of town!”


6. Martha C.

“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”


7. Kamy A.

“Kamy did a great job of watching Abbey while we were away! She was super responsive and helpful and gave us daily updates on our sweet dog. We are grateful for her care!”


8. Dani E.

“Dani exceeded our expectations & came in clutch for us as our previous dog walker we books months in advance cancelled the week of our wedding. We were visiting from out of town for our wedding with our fur baby and Dani was so gracious enough to help us out on her day off by ensuring our fur baby as fed, taken out,& loved on during our wedding day. We are forever grateful for Dani :)”


9. McCall P.

“McCall was wonderful and went above and beyond when one of the dogs decided to make an escape out of the backyard. She was communicative and cared for the animals with all the lovins! Will be requesting her again for future trips”


10. Suzanne L.
“Suzanne was a great sitter for my very needy cat while we went to work. She is great for high energy pets that need lots of exercise. She had no problem keeping up with a very needy husky/shepard mix. She is also very good at setting hard boundaries when necessary like with said husky mix that has a face licking problem. 10/10 would not be disappointed in her service and would hire again.”


11. Macie B.

“Absolutely amazing and very professional. Great communication and left my house in amazing shape. My dogs where very well taken care of and she was an absolute amazing sitter.”


12. Jessica W.


“As always Jessica makes our vacations stress free when it comes to our pets. She has had keys to my house for years. My Velcro dog adores her and Poppy. My diabetic cat is perfectly taken care of. She goes above and beyond to accommodate anything unexpected in our plans. I can’t recommend her enough!”


13. Candice C.
“I have been around to see how well Candice takes care of her own dog Faith. She is very intentive and caring towards Faith. She is great with my dog Diesel also, mine likes to get attention and Candice is great at giving Diesel that attention. Candices caring and loving nature make her an obvious choice for pet care. Any animal that is in her care is very lucky and fortunate.”


14. Ryan O.

“Ryan was a rockstar sitter. It was my first time using Rover to find someone to watch our house and 3 dogs. Ryan was available on very short notice and went with the flow when we asked him to administer medication to one of our pups at the last minute. The dogs loved him from the get go and we could tell in all the pictures that Ryan sent how at ease they were with him. We will definitely be calling him in the future. Thank you so much, Ryan!”


15. Bailey S.

“Bailey is an Ana one pet sitter. Communication is frequent and clear. Loves my animals and is respectful of my home. Highly recommended. I will definitely be using her again.”


16. Courtney K.

“Courtney did a great job taking care of my both my pets! She even saved my kitty when she fell in the pool (I'm so thankful she was attentive enough to notice when she heard a "plop"). The house was tidy when I got home and I appreciate that very much. Would love to hire her again.”


17. Alex L.

“Alex was amazing! She not only came to the house before to meet Ava so she was comfortable with her, but went above and beyond taking care of her and my home. She kept me informed with how Ava was doing and treated her like her own. She was great and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, just not on the days I need her :)”


18. Elizabeth A.


“Elizabeth is a fantastic pet sitter from start to finish. She replies immediately, communicates frequently during her stay at our home, respects and fulfills all our requests, leaves our home immaculate, and, most importantly, cares lovingly for our three sometimes rambunctious dogs. She is great with both seniors and youngsters. I highly recommend her. We have already rebooked!”


19. Hannah R.
“Hannah was the only one I would trust to watch my boy, Cooper when I lived in NOLA. She is kind and enthusiastic and gave him so much love and attention. He loved her so much ❤️”


20. Keishla R.
“I'm an advocate of Keishla R.'s warmth & loving touch as a pet caregiver. Her attention to detail & demeanor makes her my #1 option.”
