1. Bahisha B.

“Bahisha did a great job with our kitty! :) Would definitely rebook her services. She was also very communicative when we had an issue with our water and our landlord needed information and she made sure to bring in all of our mail while we were away.”




2. Madeline S.

“Madeline took excellent care of our big golden retriever! She came out to our house in the morning and evening to feed and walk him. She was always within the time frame that we requested and sent multiple pictures of him each time! Would highly recommend her to care for your dog!”


3. Elena D.

“Elena is so great! She took great care of our pup and was great about honoring our request. She sent great pics and updates and we felt safe with our boy in her care. Would definitely hire her again.”


4. Yaniera T.

“Yaniera, Thank you for being you---you took such great care of my kitties, and it's such a relief to know when someone cares. Thank you for all your caring work. And the gifts for them... and the photos you printed for me! Wow, that was such a lovely surprise. I'd give you a million stars if Rover let me. 🩷”

“Clement is THE best. He cared for my boy Zeke so well!!”


7. Lauren M.
“Third time I’ve had Lauren watch my cat and she’s wonderful! She goes above and beyond, is communicative, caring and trustworthy. If this is your first time using rover and you’re nervous, don’t be with Lauren—she’s great!”


8. Mateo C.

“Mateo did a great job coordinating great care for my cat! He was there on holidays and ensured me peace of mind. I really appreciated him and the time he took to ensure that my cat had what they needed.”




9. Kyle E.
“Kyle is responsible, patient, detail-oriented, and most importantly, great with dogs. He takes loving care of his own dog at home, and provides the same level of care and attention to everyone else's dogs too. I would trust Kyle with my dog, without a doubt.”


10. Claudia Z.
“Claudia was great. She went out of her way to make sure she and the puppy were comfortable together. Great updates. Followed directions”


11. Erika B.
“Erika, as a fellow per owner and as a great pet sitter, had been nothing but helpful with my pets. She not only is very considerate, but she also is extremely passionate about what she does.”


12. Sam H.

“Sam was great with my cat Riku! I needed someone to drop on on short notice and Sam was very responsive & communicative. Would definitely recommend.”


13. Jennifer D.
“Jen loves animals and is one of the sweetest people I know. She is a respectful and responsible person who can be trusted to take care of someone’s pet and household as if they were her own.”


14. Anton B.
“Anton and his wife watched our 2 chihuahuas, 1 midsize dog, and cat on 2 occasions during our vacation away from home. They communicated with us daily, mostly reporting that all the animals are doing well. On one occasion we offered them to stay in our house for a few days and they left the house in pristine condition. They also took care of our plants and mail during that time. The best thing about Anton is that he is reliable and trustworthy, and he is a natural with pets (he holds a Russian veterinary diploma). One of our chihuahuas is very difficult to handle and often threatens to bite people, but he loved Anton and was comfortable with him coming to our house even when we were not there.”


15. Anthony W.

“Anthony was very attentive to Pebbles needs and her schedule and we felt very comfortable with leaving her care in his hands. We will be looking to book with Anthony for our needs in the future!”


16. Molly K.

“It has been such a relief since we have had Molly's help for our cat when we are away. We have an older cat who is sensitive to change and I can tell that she is super happy to see Molly and vice versa. Molly is very responsive and sends great updates, it is a pleasure working with her.”


17. Valeria R.

“Valeria did a great job watching my two Westies. It was a last minute request and she came through for our family. She was prompt, efficient and so friendly with our girls. I will be using her again really soon!”


18. Chelsea D.

“Chelsea did a great job taking care of my kitten! My cat had just been spayed and it was a relief to have someone checking in on her. Chelsea was prompt and respectful and took good care! Highly recommend.”
