13. Claire L.

“I was nervous about leaving my pets (one cat and one very sensitive dog) alone for 2 weeks, but Claire kept my mind at ease. I received updates and photos and when I returned home, my pets were just as content as when I left. That's a great sign and I will definitely request her services again. In fact, I already have!”


14. Salina D.

“Salina was great with our dog and cat! We booked her last minute and she stayed at our house with her sweet dog. Our dog was so happy to have a friend to play with for the weekend and Salina sent lots of pictures and was communicative the whole time. For our first time using Rover, we were very happy. You can tell Salina loves animals and is passionate about providing them great care.”


15. Phil R.
“Phil is an attentive and incredibly passionate dog lover. I watched him take such gentle care of his own dogs in the past, and he always gives other dogs that same love he gave his own! As a fellow dog sitter, he frequently comes over when I have a dog, just to dote on them. He is a very trustworthy and responsible person, and I would trust him to care for pets from the lowest to highest maintenance.”


16. Anvesha R.

“Anvesha is amazing! It was my first time leaving my puppy for an overnight trip, and I’m so glad that I trusted Anvesha to take care of my girl. She’s so communicative and attentive, and took care of my dog as if she were her own. I highly recommend her!”


17. Haley J.

“Haley was amazing - so nice and communicative, and left the house in great condition! Will definitely rebook”


18. Jordan S.

“Jordan was so great with our crazy dogs. One of our pups got a diabetes diagnosis two days before he was scheduled to dog sit and he was happy to come and learn how to administer her shot. All 3 dogs were calm and happy when we got home so we know for sure they were well taken care of. Highly recommend Jordan!”


19. Jeni C.

“Jeni did a wonderful job taking care of our three dogs over the weekend. When she stopped by several weeks ago to meet us, all of the dogs took to her right away, even the anxious one who is usually quite wary of strangers. I knew right then that Jeni was going to be great with the girls. She checked in with me and also sent photos of them, which was greatly appreciated. I highly recommend her!”


20. Molly C.

“Molly was incredible in taking care of my pup and house. She was consistent in giving me updates with great photos. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter and I plan on using her services again in the near future.”
