“Rosemarie was wonderful with my new-to-us somewhat rambunctious pup. Great communication and a terrific photo to boot. Thanks for taking care of Benny!”
2. Michael B.
“Michael was great with Rocky. My father had hip surgery two weeks ago so it's a load of stress off my mind that we found someone that can help when my brother or myself are not available. Michael was prompt and professional and sent pics while out on their walks. Rocky really likes him! Will definitely be using again! Thanks Michael!”
3. Adrian M.

4. Cheryl C.

5. Liliana C.
“Had a great first experience with Rover thanks to Lilana. I was a little anxious to use the service, but Liliana has been a delight and very communicative. Will be booking her services again.”
6. Jules R.
“Jules is hands down THE absolute BEST of the BEST! She took our hyper husky on afternoon walks for the past couple weeks while we were away, and she went above and beyond without fail to make sure he had the best walk of his life each and every time! And as if we couldn’t ask for more, she also sent the most creative and engaging narrative updates we’ve ever received, accompanied with pictures that equaled in creativity and fun. Her joy for animals is contagious and your pups will no doubt feel the love!!”
7. Jessica S.
“Jessica is AMAZING! She’s very knowledgeable, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about what she does. When our Maxy was having unexpected stranger-danger issues, she took the time to ask many questions about his past and possible triggers. She took all of the info I gave her, came up with a plan to help remedy the situation, and even gave me suggestions. We’re so grateful for her!”

About: I am an animal lover who’s been taking care of dogs since I was small I’ve watched family members pets walked them to parks and believe in spending quality time with our pets. I am open through the weekends all day but when it comes to weekdays there might be restrictions but if I can get an email or a text I could see if I have time I am very flexible with my schedule as long as I am given a little time to prepare I make sure to follow up with feeding a dog first to give them time to digest their food and then playing with them because animals need love and companionship and after I would take the dog for a long walk because they need air and I find it helps them end their night right but if I was to start earlier in the day everything would be two to three times depending on the type of dog
9. Arlene A.
“She took such good care of our little old man. He loved her. I will definitely be hitting her up first next time we can’t take him on vacay with us. Very kind and professional.”
10. Eric N.
“Eric was GREAT! He communicates very well and shares pictures and videos pretty regularly. It was a pleasure working with him! I highly recommend him.”
11. Doris O.
“Doris is one of the most loving individuals I know and she takes that same level of love and kindness with dogs and animals. I know that she’ll treat your pet with the same level of love and care as though it were her own.”
12. Christopher O.
“Christopher is amazing with animals. He is gentle and patient with them. He has been working with me for years, and I trust him with not only my pets but my children as well. He is also reliable in terms of arriving prepared and on time. He has three cats of his own that he rescued when they were kittens with no where to go. Truly a great guy!”
13. Cassandra S.
“From young on Cassandra has been a lover of all animals in general... We owned a doberman as she grew up, and aside from my husband...she was his person.For hours they would lay together as she read...or played in the backyard....and even dress him up. She has no hesitation to play with any animal, loves to walk dogs and play with them especially... I do feel she gives them a run for their money ( grin) ... We often dog sit for my nephew who owns a Rhodesian Ridge-back named Harley... even though she lives away from home, she would always come to see, play and walk him. All and all, I do think this job would be perfect for her and the dogs.”
14. Joseph V.
“Joey is a caring and reliable pet sitter and has been a resource to me as a novice pet owner. He takes my avid explorer pup on long walks to sniff her way across town and "hunt" squirrels. He is flexile and responsive to special requests. I am able to work without worry when my pet is with Joey. She eagerly runs to him and clearly enjoys her time in his care.”

About: I believe pets are the best thing that has happened to human kind and should be appreciated for all the joy and love they bring us. I grew up with and helped care for a cat colony for 15+ years. My favorite dog growing up, Bobbie a cute Pekingese, had seizures and my favorite cat, coffee an American short hair, had diabetes. I can't remember a time in my life where my family and I weren't watching or taking in someone's dog or cat wether it was only a day or for years. Now that I have my own space I would like to continue the tradition of sharing my home with fur friends. With all the animals I've taken care of I'd like to think I'm qualified for this job. I'm excited to meet and take care your best friend and give them all the love I possibly can. I'm always ready to take care of anyone's pet whenever need be. I'll save your last minute vacation. Call anytime day or night. No joke, always free :3 I have a nice spacious yard to take dogs out and play catch in. My household is a child free zone and is kept clean. There are no small things for them to eat or choke on and most everything is stored off the floors so there is nothing that can get into. Pets are allowed on beds and couches unless you prefer them not to. The house is kept cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

About: Had a dog since I was 5, since then I’ve taken care of other dogs of any age and size. I have 2 rescued cats that I love. Full time student, but this semester I’m taking a few online classes that allows more free time. I have class MWF and my last class ends at 3. I’m here to take care of your pet and be respectful to your home. Communication is key to me and we can discuss your boundaries to ensure trust.
17. Tina M.
About: I have always got along with cats and dogs of all sizes and breeds, using my nursing skills to socialize and keep pets healthy and content. I am retired so I am available most days and am a naturally early riser. Sunday is my only day of limited availability. (6-8a and after 3p) I care for 2 cats, have a fenced in yard and assist my neighbors in catching and releasing feral cats that require vet care. Many have found happy homes in this process.
18. Kimberly R.
“My dog Leo loves Kimberly! She was very kind and communicative. Definitely going to book her again in the future!”
19. Karen H.
“We recently had the pleasure of working with Karen and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From the moment we met, it was clear that Karen genuinely loves and understands dogs. Our furry family members instantly took a liking to her, which put us at ease right away. Throughout the entire period, Karen was incredibly professional, punctual, and attentive to all of dogs (3) and cats (1) needs. She provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured us that our cat and pups were not only well cared for but also having a great time. Karen went above and beyond by engaging our dogs in various fun activities, ensuring they got plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. It was evident that Karen is experienced and knowledgeable, able to handle any situation with ease and confidence. We returned home to happy pets and a spotless house. The peace of mind we experienced knowing that our fur babies were in such capable and loving hands was invaluable. We highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and outstanding dog sitter. Thank you, Karen, for your exceptional care and dedication!”
20. Ryan F.
“Ryan, has interacted with dogs from as early as a toddler and since has developed a love and care for them. Has a dog of his own for 14yrs and currently dog sits a puppy full of energy who requires much attention. I highly recommend Ryan to be a great caregiver and an excellent dog companion.”
