“Kim was so kind and enthusiastic about spending time with my kitty, Aries. I appreciate the timely and thorough updates with lots of pictures to put my mind at ease while I was on vacation. It looked like Aries was having a great time playing and interacting! Will definitely book again!”


7. Ana N.
“Ana is great with pets, she knows how to care and interact with them. When she goes to care for them, I noticed they are really attracted to her and they love to lay next to her because they love her and love to receive her attention. They even fight for her loving energy at times. 😆 Everything has always been done well with Ana, she’s a great caregiver towards our furry babies. I know that this is a great opportunity for Ana on her way through life and I can assure that which ever special moment spent with Ana is one that will be cherished as she gives her best with everything she does. An opportunity with Ana will help us all grow, evolve and live a wonderful meaningful life. As the earth revolves around the sun, we all have a purpose and this is one of them.”

“Samantha was great with Chanel and communicated effectively during my time away from Chanel. She followed instructions, was vigilant with Chanel's overall behavior, and communicated if there were any slight changes in behavior”


10. Jessica L.

“Jessica is very kind, professional and communicative. She is so kind and truly loves animals. I had the best experience and will continue to use her for my. Rand new puppy !”




11. Andrea H.
“As both a pet sitter and a pet owner myself, I'd highly recommend Andrea. Andrea has taken great care of my special-needs pit bull, Nori. I can honestly say she’s a dedicated, trustworthy and caring sitter. Nori is a rescue, so she can be shy and skittish with new people, but she was immediately affectionate and loving with Andrea. Andrea is super responsible - she stays on top of everything, and sends my roommate and I regular updates and photos of Nori. I feel completely comfortable leaving my dog with her and I appreciate the extra attention and care she gives. Andrea is a great pet sitter because she treats pets with the same respect and love she has for people.”


12. Joseph C.
“Joseph is a great guy and is a very empathetic sitter for pets. He has a caring soul that will make the animals feel calm and safe”

14. Aaron O.
“Aaron is a great friend of mine who takes care of my dog for me when I go on vacations. Hes very reliable and attentive. I appreciated the communication and photos he sent me throughout the times he took care of Froyo. My little Froyo was so happy and taken care of so of course Im happy to share my testimonial.”


15. Amber A.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I work overnight full time but I’m free in the day and afternoon so I will be fully awake to take care and watch dogs I have a backyard so the dogs would be safe. There is a lot of dogs in my area so the dog wouldn’t be lonely


16. Marion J.

“Marion is clearly a kind and thoughtful person. Flip liked her right away and she communicated well with me and took great care of him. I’ll definitely be asking Marion to help out again and would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs someone to take care of their four-legged friend.”


17. Nicole R.
About: Hey there! I’m new to the Rover platform , give me a chance to care for your fur baby and I promise you won’t be disappointed, I’m very committed to this new experience and hope to meet some amazing people who loves their pets. I’m an active girl who loves to reach her 10k-12k step count goal. As much as I wish I had a pup to walk with , I’m a cat mom (not complaining) I love her tremendously, but she doesn’t allow me to divide my attention therefore I can’t have more pets, I have a diva to cater to. However , I enjoy the company of the dogs who belong to my friend’s and family members as if they were my own , i’ve been trusted to care for many of them because of my affectionate personality and delicacy. I work a morning job part time , my schedule is usually 8-4 which is always subject to change , sometimes I can get out hours earlier between 12-2 some weeks if there is not much work. I can keep you updated week to week. After 4 generally I am free everyday except for Tuesday. I am very observant and attentive, I like to follow a pet’s usual routines to maintain consistency for them. I prefer for owner to give me detailed instructions on how they like things done for their fur babies.


18. Allen S.

“Helped us out while we were away for the holidays! Allen shared pictures with us and alerted us when he noticed something out of the ordinary with our cats’ poop in the litter box. Thanks Allen!”
