5. Arianna L.
“Arianna was amazing. She took care of Lexi so well. Honestly this was my first time using Rover and I was nervous. Arianna but those nerves to rest. She is patient and kind and diligent and she went above and beyond to care for my pup while I was out of town. I Will definitely be booking her again!”
6. Laura S.
“Laura did a great job with our German Shepherd (who is on the calm side) but she has a German Shepherd herself - who is also a down dog so she has experience to deal with that if you have a special needs dog. She is super excited to meet your beloved animals, is friendly and reliable. and we feel lucky to have her in our close neighborhood.”
7. Michelle S.
“I will 110% be using Michelle again in the future. I would recommend to all my friends and family. This was my first time using rover and I’ll be honest I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home taking my dogs out, but Michelle was warm, communicative, and respectful of my home. I have two small Pomeranians that are not the easiest of dogs but she was very patient and did an amazing job with them. I found her last minute to walk them midday, as my wife had to leave town and I am out all day long. You should feel confident leaving your furry family members with her, they are in good hands. Thank you again Michelle for all your help!”
8. Jon N.
“Jon was awesome! Very punctual and professional and took good care of Charlie.”
9. Ashton W.
“Lovely people - patient with a potty accident that happened while I was at work and cleaned it well. Kept me posted about the upset tummy. Pet my kitty also. ☺️ very responsive”
10. Megan D.
“Megan graciously accepted my very last-minute request to walk our dog. She was very responsive and even cleaned up after my dog. I would definitely reach out to her again. Highly recommended!”
11. Alex D.
“Alex is a great dog walker! Although our dog walks pretty well on leash it’s comforting to use someone that is an experienced and strong handler. Plus Alex walked Ziggy in pouring rain! That’s dedication. Highly recommend!”
12. Mya C.
“Mya Cota is a wonderful animal caregiver my white husky was very excited and jumpy to meet her all tho she didn’t mind my dog being a little jumpy she handled the situation well. Meeting Mya I knew I was comfortable with leaving my dog before I left to work you can also tell that she loves animal’s and is a very kind and caring person you can trust her with anything. When I had came back from work she was filling me in with information on how my dog was acting how many times they went for a walk how many times he missed behave and it’s always good to have feed back from animal caregiver because sometimes not a lot of animal caregivers give excellent feedback. If you’r looking for someone to trust mya is the perfect animal caregiver to pick.”
13. Sarah B.
“Sarah was wonderful. On day 2 the dogs were already sitting at the window waiting for her! I had surgery and she stepped into walking duties. I’m healed now and walking the dogs myself, but I can’t help but feel the twinge of their disappointment that I’m not Sarah. Highly recommend (speaking for me and the dogs)”
14. Joseph M.
“When I heard of Rover, Joseph was the first person I thought of. He cares so deeply about every animal he crosses paths with. I have never met a person who gets so excited about animals they see across the street or animals that enter their backyard. He is always incredibly prompt and will always go out of his way to help whoever he can. Joseph is starting to volunteer at the animal shelter on his free time, which tells you exactly the type of person he is! If there's anyone you should trust to take care of your pet, it would be him.”
15. Patty G.
“While walking our dog, we met a great dog sitter, Patty, she was walking her dog. We stopped and started talking and the two dogs started playing with each other and got along good. Patti mentioned that she was a dog sitter and we used her a few weeks later, and we were very happy with her. She got along very well with our dog, and everything worked out very well. We definitely are going to use her again. she even sent us a few pictures of how our dog was doing while we were away and she kept us updated. She is very conscientious.”
16. Chelsea D.
“I was so pleased with Chelsea and her responsible attitude toward me. She was sweet, and careful, and I felt fine leaving Wick in her capable and caring hands. It was also a bit last minute for Wick's, her's and my first time - and she came over that evening to get her bearings with her new charge and did a wonderful job. I will definitely turn to her when I need another pet-sitter and highly appreciate her!”
17. Stephanie W.
“Stephanie did an awesome job helping during Christmas. She saved the day. We could tell she's a dog person, and we were grateful to have her walk and care for our pup.”
18. Madeline R.
“Madeline is a natural with all pets!!! She’s so friendly and caring which pets feel her positive energy 😊 She’s great! She told me she’s grown up with cats , dogs, fish and hamsters and it shows She goes up above with pictures and keeps in touch with us when we away She even keeps my house tidy which is a wonderful bonus Highly recommend her !!”
19. Leila R.
“Thought I was going to have to cancel my Fourth of July plans as I tried about 20 other walkers and no one could help me with walking Bernie. Then Leila came to save the day! She’s fantastic and I will definitely be reaching out to her from here on out ?”
20. Matthew B.
“Matthew is the best - caring, attentive, and truly wonderful with animals! He has a fantastic setup for dogs with a securely fenced front and back yard, and it's obvious he's taken the extra mile to create a safe and playful environment. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate sitter!”
