2. Crystal G.


“Crystal is very accomodating when caring for our senior dog. She helps her navigate the stairs, ensures she gets all her medications and genuinely cares for her. You can be assured your pet is well taken care of while with Crystal.”


3. Robyn & Steven G.

“Robyn and Stephen have proven to be reliable and responsible dog sitters! They have watch our dogs and cat numerous times now and have treated them (and our home) with the utmost care and respect. I appreciate the daily updates with photos of our dogs and clear communication about anything that is happening. Most recently they watched our animals for 2 whole weeks for us. While being gone for so long was nerve wrecking, we felt totally confident our babies were getting the care, love, and attention they need. Robyn and Stephen have become a trusted neighbor to care for our animals when we are gone. I appreciate all they do!”


4. Pam C.

“Pam is wonderful. She is not only reliable and communicative with me, but she is most importantly terrific with my pups. Both Clarence and Mary seemed to love her on sight. She worked well with me when our plans changed and was always agreeable. Pam is everything one hopes for as a house-sitter, pet-sitter. She cared for my home in a way that was respectful and consistent, but most of all, she cared for my furbabies. Thanks, Pam! We know we will reach out again! Best, Whitney”


5. lsabela P.
“Isabela was an amazing caretaker for my 11mth Pitbull, cared for her as if she were her own she came back to me healthy and happy. I recomend her for any fur perents who need a reliable caretaker.”


6. Holly B.
“My dog loves Holly! She is very attentive to his needs whether it’s for a couple days or a week. She’s even given him some medication that he was taking. And sometimes I get a bonus picture of them bonding or having fun. A+++”


7. Sophie C.

“Bernie had such a good time with Sophie! She kept me updated and sent pictures every day! It was definitely a stress free vacation knowing he was with her! ❤️”


8. Bradley T.

“Bradley did a great job while house sitting with my 2 dogs over the Easter holiday weekend, Friday thru Sunday. He administered medication, took them for walks, played fetch, and even let them sleep with him. He took great care of my dogs, giving them lots of attention. Bradley left everything clean in the house, and the dogs kenneled when he left. Highly recommend Bradley for house sitting and dog walking needs!”


9. Zoey B.
“I cannot recommend Zoey enough! She is truly the *best* dog sitter and walker we've ever had. She’s been walking and watching my two dogs for a while now, and I trust her completely. Both of my pups absolutely adore her-and that says a lot, because one of them is pretty shy and slow to warm up to people. She’s incredibly reliable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays, I know they’re in the best hands. I’ve even gotten sweet photo updates that make my day when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. She’s a gem!”


10. Karla D.


“Do yourself a favor and book this sitter! This was my first sitting experience through Rover and it honestly may have spoiled me. From the onset of the experience, it was all very professional -- Karla came to do a meet and greet with the dogs at home and was so thorough in her questions and gauging of my comfort level, I instantly felt at ease. Both her and her partner were very warm and very low pressure about actually booking with them, even though they had taken time out of their days to meet with me, but I immediately knew I wasn't looking further than them. I got daily updates when I was away and when I got home, my dogs were comfortable and content. :]”


11. Hampton S.

“Hampton did a wonderful job watching our 2 mini dachshunds over the weekend! He was great at communicating & took excellent care of them. He was extremely responsive, sent frequent updates & I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs with him. I would highly recommend booking with him! We will definitely be reaching out again to have him stay with our pups! Thank you so much Hampton! 😊”


12. Joanna M.
“Miss Joanna was wonderful with our pets. After some bad experiences with major boarding companies, she was able to provide us with the peace of mind we really needed for our fur babies. Knowing they were safe allowed us to relax during our time away. She followed the medicine schedule and checked in with us when we were missing the rascals. Bandit, Batman, and Lil Girl can't wait to book with her again!”


13. Brandon B.
“Brandon Byrne is a living and diligent caretaker of animals. He has a knack for training and keeping a consistent schedule. I highly recommend him.”


14. Arianna V.

“she was great! provided pictures and updates and left the house in great shape! my dog seemed so content when i got back and had clearly been well exercised. thanks!!”


15. Jenna L.
“Jenna was absolutely amazing with my dog Nix while I was out of town! She treated him like her own—so loving, attentive, and caring. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Nix was happy, well-exercised, and clearly adored. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly loves animals! I already have her booked out to watch Nix again in the upcoming months!”


16. Paige V.

“I was very pleased with Paige and her quick response to meeting me and my puppy. She did a great job of watching her and keeping me informed. I will definitely have Paige out to watch and care for my little Poppi again!”


17. Gypsy G.

“Gypsy was very communicative and shared daily photos, videos, and updates on our pets. We have three small dogs and they are a handful, so we are so grateful that she took such great care of them! She took our pups on walks each day and followed our directions for their care well. We hope to book again!”


18. Ceteria I.

“She was AMAZING! Sent pictures and videos the whole time. Highly recommend Ceteria!”


19. Shana S.

“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


20. Amanda H.

“I’ve know Mandy for 25 years and other than myself she loves dogs more than anyone I know! She tirelessly cares for her special needs dog and is the only person I would trust staying in my home with my Boxer and Poodle. Highly recommend if you are looking for a true, gentle, dog lover! She likes cats too!”
