“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”


2. Stephanie Y.

“Stephanie is great!! She sends me photos of Zanya on their walks along with a step counter and I love that. She's very responsive and always updates on how their walks went. Bonus because I have a lot of exotic pets as well and she doesn't discriminate 🥰 Great dog Walker and pet sitter!”


3. Cara G.

“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”




4. Samantha R.

“She was awesome with my little guy. At first he was being a stinker and hid under the bed and barked, I told her she could go and not worry about it. Then I get a picture message of him walking outside fine. Definitely took the time and had the patience to work with Orion to build that trust. Definitely, definitely highly recommend. She is amazing!”

“I am a little late in getting out this review, but in no way was it because I was disinterested or not wanting to do so..On the contrary, I absolutely felt the need to write this because of the loving service I felt my family had received from this Pet Sitter. Our family has 2 pets, a dog(Susy) and a cat(Milu) and like most on this site, we deem them to be our precious little babies. They never have really been away from the family for any great length of time, so finding someone to watch and care for them was very important to us. My family was to be in South America for a week, while I was away from home that same time for my work. I had found a Pet Sitter very close to our home for Susy, but could not find anyone for Milu. After much searching, I realized the Rover website and there found numerous Pet Sitters available for Milu. After much searching, we were able to procure the services of a Sitter on Rover and set the contract. Then, with 1 week before our departure, the contractor informed us that she had to cancel our reservation because of health issues in her immediate family and would not be in the area during the needed time. That really put us in dilemma to find someone in such short time. So we searched the Rover site and found several, but all the family agreed to contact Melissa... There were several things that greatly impressed us about Melissa. First there were the reviews. While there were not many, Melissa's reviews were actually very accurate and factual about the care that our Milu would receive. They spoke of the great love she had for animals, as we all experienced firsthand. As I had mentioned, our babies had not been away from us and Milu is very timid with strangers. So, we were surprised when we actually brought her to Melissa and after Milu s brief inspection of her new abode (Lol), she was right there, on the couch and happy as can be. I know that animals sense our love for them and I was amazed at how comfortable she was at that time. Later photos, which Melissa sent through the week, also confirmed how tranquil our precious niña was. In fact, when I returned a week later for Milu, she went to Melissa, not to me and she actually cried when I took her away. That experience was special to me and I knew then that our family had made the correct decision in choosing Melissa. Another proof to me that Milu was very comfortable there, was how she interacted with Melissa's young son. Normally, she runs and hides from children, but the pictures showed her actively playing with the boy! I have never seen her do this with any other children, but my own. I can think of no other magic that could have done that, but love. Yes, I am and family are so pleased with the decision we made to contract Milu's care with Melissa. I think that anyone who loves their pet would also have the same impressions with Melissa's care. I almost never write reviews, but felt the need to express my thoughts and feelings with this one. Thank you Melissa for taking care of our Milu! And, I actually do think that Milu misses you!!!!”

About: I have taken care of dogs (and cats) of all different sizes for my whole life. I am very patient and very loving. I would love to help you out! I am currently working part time, so I will have plenty of left over time to fill with your furry friends! No matter the breed! I have a fenced in yard with two very friendly dogs at home. When in your home I will be sure it follow any instructions given!


7. Jeremy C.
“I have three ferrets that Jeremy has watched for me on numerous occasions. He is extremely careful and gentle with them, and honestly they never want to come home after being in his care. He makes sure they are fed, watered, played with, and well taken care of. I have had him bathe them and cut their nails, too, and there has never been an issue. You can tell he is an animal person through and through, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to watch the ferret kiddos! He is FANTASTIC and I highly recommend Jeremy to anyone for any pet needs. He doesn’t shy away from any animals, and I can assure you that if you allow him to care for your animal, you will not be disappointed. I would easily rate 10/10.”


8. Zoe A.
About: I’ve practically had every animal under the bridge. From Fish, to lizards, rabbits and guinea pigs, and cats and dogs. I was a 4-H kid for a while, so I’m very comfortable with animals. During Covid, my mom and I fostered and recused over 60 cats, making sure they got loving families. We have 8 cats currently, and I own a guinea pig. I’m good with newborn kittens, so if they need feedings, or they need to be stimulated to go potty, I’m good with that! I can also administer medication to pets, whether that be a pill, liquid, or medical creams. I just graduated highschool, and I’m going off to college in August. I have many pets, so I understand the importance of balancing your needs and your pets. All of my pets are indoor cats, but I have taken some cats outside on a leash for supervised visits. When I’ve watched over pets for friends, I always make sure that they are in my line of sight and reach. If they have a fenced in backyard, I still stay outside to watch.


9. Augusta B.
“Augusta is a dependable and truly caring pet caregiver. She treats every animal like her own and makes sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. She grew up around animals, has fostered many cats as an adult, and I know that she is incredibly patient with dogs!”

About: My life has always been filled with dogs and cats! I was my parents’ go-to house- and dog-sitter starting when I was 18, and over the years, I’ve cared for and owned dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra attention. Currently, I’m the proud cat-dad of two lovable fur-balls. I’m also comfortable with small animals—professionally, I’ve cared for rat and mice colonies while completing my CITI safety and care training. Plus, My year spent with my pets have taught me how to read animal body language, so I know how to make pets feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. If you’re looking for someone reliable and experienced sitter to drop by and care for your furry (or small and squeaky) family/friends, I’d love to help! Let’s chat about what your pet needs to feel happy and cared for. Currently, I work from home and my availability is flexible if I have a day or so notice. Also I have two cats, but miss having dogs around would love to take yours on some walks. I can feed, walk, or play with your family pets in your home. In addition, I can give them bathroom breaks or clean up litter/messes.




12. Daijanique E.
“Daijanique has been great with my animals. I've trusted her with my fur pets since the first day I met her. She does an absolutely amazing job with walking my dogs. She even does frequent drop ins to check on my dogs for me while I'm at work. She's very trustworthy and I'll always keep her around to care for my furry pets. Thanks so much!!!”


13. Hillary H.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have always adopted my pets and think it's very important for them to have forever homes. I help with a non-profit group called No Fear Rescue which helps dogs go from foster homes to permanent houses! I am going back to school in the Fall, and I think this would be an excellent way to do something I love and earn money for school. I have flexible hours to help out. I understand people have busy lives and dogs need exercise or sometimes just a bathroom break. I haven't met a dog that I don't like. They are such loving animals that are also part of families. I love outdoors and exploring parks with my furry friends. I'm currently in my final year of college and this part time job fits perfectly. Gives me the best break from the books and flexible hours. I am very hands on with pet sitting and your pets care is my number one priority. I always learn the routine that is already set with the pets to make sure every visit is fun and safe!


14. Athena F.
“Athena has been watching my Pitty for three years now. I am a competitive axe thrower and travel a lot for tournaments. My dog is always well taken care of and Athena's Husky is Esper's best friend.”


15. Makenna F.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Makenna for many years, and I can confidently say she is one of the most caring and responsible people I know especially when it comes to animals. Her love for animals is genuine and shines through in everything she does. Makenna has cared for my dog & cat on several occasions, and each time I’ve been happy with her patience and over all care for them. Whether it's administering medication, going on long walks, or simply offering companionship, she treats every animal like her own. My cat absolutely adores her and that says a lot. My dog also loves her but what puppy doesn’t love everyone! What sets Makenna apart is her natural ability to connect with animals and the trust she builds with both pets and their owners. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and truly compassionate pet sitter.”


16. Julia S.
About: I have been around animals, especially dogs my whole life. I have three labs and my one lab has had puppies before so I have been around puppies as well. I have had big dogs and small dogs, so i’m comfortable around any size. I have pet sat for neighbors/family/friends etc. I am pretty flexible towards the afternoon and night. I am currently finishing out the semester, so in 2-3 weeks I will be a lot more free to do more drop ins! Not looking to pet sit at my house, but am available to come to drop ins! I can take your pets for walks/ play fetch/ feed/ and just hangout!


17. Hollis B.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all different breeds and I give them all the love they deserve!

I’m available after 5:30 Tuesdays-Fridays, after 3:30 on Saturdays, and all day Sunday and Monday depending on my work schedule😊 I can easily put a leash/harness on any dog and can crate them if needed! I will clean up after them with any mess made and I will make sure they’re completely happy and safe at all times.
