1. Kayla N.
“Kayla was so sweet, she sent me los of pictures and updates on my three big dogs who are very lovable but can be a handle”
2. Sarah H.
“We got so many photo updates! Sarah did a great job communicating her schedule and our dogs care throughout the week we were gone. She also left the home cleaner than it was when we left. We are repeat customers and will continue to come back :)”
3. Pamela W.
“Pam was amazing. She sent me daily pictures and updates. Her communication and preparedness was first-rate. She left my house better than she found it! I could not have asked for a better housesitter.”
4. Rachel L.
“Rachel was AMAZING with Shelby! She stayed at our house and was such a good houseguest and treated Shelby like her own. She sent photos and updates of our girl and left a sweet note when we got home. I would absolutely recommend Rachel. She’s punctual, warm and makes the effort to get to know your dog. I know Shelby looks forward to her next visit from Rachel!”
5. Krista F.
“Krista took wonderful care of our three dogs. She kept me up to date throughout my trip of what they were doing (eating, going out, meds, etc.), and sent me pics and a video of them. She was especially careful with our 15+ year old dog. I was able to relax and have fun, knowing my dogs were well cared for. I would highly recommend having her watch your pets.”
6. Kelsey B.
“Kelsey is so amazing with animals! Her gentle, kind and loving nature is exactly what you want when having someone look after your fur baby. My husband and I ask Kelsey to watch our two dogs often and she always goes a great job. She always keeps us posted and sends lots of pics. When she’s unavailable, it’s really a bummer because 1) our dogs love her and 2) there’s not many people we trust to take care of our dogs and be in our home. Next time you need someone, look no further!!”
7. Erin K.
“Erin is the BEST!!!! She connected so fast with my Annabelle (dog) She made sure she was well taken care of and spoiled her and now I’m spoiled lol. I won’t have anyone else watch my dog now. I was gone 4 days and didn’t worry at all.”
8. Gray P.
“Gray was absolutely amazing and my dog absolutely loves her. She’s helped out with afternoon walks to break up the day and overnight stays. She was referred to me by one of my siblings and I would 100% hire her again. I highly recommend her.”
9. Mario C.
“Excellent communicator and so very thoughtful. Mario is very responsible and kind. Well definitely call Mario again for future needs.”
10. Krista L.
“Krista is excellent with animals. She is caring. Loves to walk the dogs. She is trustworthy and dependable. She has been a dog sitter/walker for several of my friends.”
11. Paige M.
“Paige is awesome with our fur babies. She’s so patient & loving. I’d recommend her services to anyone I know. She is great with our kitties and our senior dog.”
12. Holly V.
“Very timely and responsive!”
13. Angela D.
“Angela and her daughters were great watching Rex! They were able to step in at the last minute and we really appreciated it!”
14. Samantha M.
“Sam, did the best she could with the situation. Even though she met the dogs days before the scheduled visit, when the engagement started the dogs were not comfortable with allowing her to enter the house without support from a neighbor. I did get 50% refund while only getting 28% of the service agreed upon. Not Sam's fault. I think the service could do a better job of making sure team members and customers have the right phone numbers to engage each other directly when needed.”
15. Elizabeth W.
“Elizabeth is the definition of selfless and she will do whatever necessary to make sure the pets are well taken care of. She loves her own fur babies with compassion, love, and large amounts of cuddles. I would not hesitate to have her watch my fur babies anytime that she is available because I know she well treat them with the same love and care that I do and would. A+ and highly recommended and second to none.”
16. Mary S.
“Mary was so great with my pup! He loved seeing her everyday for his afternoon walks. Definitely recommend hiring her to take care of your fur baby!”
17. Celine K.
About: I’ve been a genuine animal lover since childhood, and have deeply cared for my pets, as well as, friends and neighbors pets, for several years. I am currently in nursing school, working part time, so I will have days that are completely open for some much needed fun and snuggles! I promise to care for your pets as they are my own, and to treat your home with value and respect, while doing so. I follow all pet parents instructions and like to remain in communication with pet parents about how they are doing.
18. Amber C.
“This was my first experience with Rover and Amber made it super easy! I got all sorts of pictures from her and my pup got the love she needed while I was out of town! I’d highly recommend Amber for your dog sitting needs!”
19. Madisyn G.
“Madisyn was great and gave us peace of mind while we were away!”
20. Madison G.
About: I've taken care of dogs of all kinds, and have the most experience with large breed dogs and cats. I've been fostering with my mom since I was 12, and I love spending time with fuzzy friends! I am currently unemployed and have as much time to care for pets. This may change, though, so I will always stay updated as soon as possible! I take care of animals inside of a clients home, and care for them as their owners would throughout the day, keeping the pets' routine as regular as possible.
