“First timers here using rover and we are so happy we found Katherine! She is great with our 10 yo pitbull mix, sent regular updates and photos. It’s so great to have peace of mind your pet is being cared for and spoiled while being away!”


2. Gloriahna B.


“Gloriahna did a wonderful job watching our dogs and home. Great communication, flexibility and care. We will absolutely book with her again!”


3. Aida K.

“Aida was absolutely wonderful! She watched our great dane at our house for just over two weeks while we traveled abroad. She showed up before we left to make sure everything was set. She was very communicative, sent pictures and updates as well as handled household issues without needing directions. Our dog was well cared for with walks and snuggles the whole time. Needless to say, we look forward to having Aida sit again.”


4. Amy M.

“Amy was a great sitter and I will definitely use her again. This was the first time leaving my dogs with a complete stranger and she helped to make sure I felt comfortable and that my dogs were right at home. She was responsive, checked in, and sent photos. Thank you Amy! For taking such good care of my dogs.”


5. Samantha A.


“Samantha was punctual and easy to communicate with. She took great care of our two dogs while we were away for 3 days. It was very warm outside so she made sure the dogs got their exercise in the morning and not in the heat of the day. We’ll definitely use Samantha again the next time we need help.”




6. Danielle P.

“Danielle is great! This was my first time using Rover, so I was a little nervous. However, once she came over to meet the pup before her stay, I was at ease. She was absolutely wonderful. We received photos during our trip which made us really happy. I will definitely be in contact with her for any future trips.”


7. Corinne S.

“Cori was great! The dogs loved her right away and it was so nice knowing they were being taken good care of while we were on vacation!”


8. Kaitlin A.
“Kaitlin is amazing with my dog and is extremely professional. She shows up on the agreed upon time and my dog is so excited to see her every time she sees her. It’s comforting to know that my dog is in such great hands with Kaitlin. Best dog walker around!”


9. Denise T.


“I'm always nervous about leaving our 12 year old black lab. Denise made everything go smooth. She was extremely responsible and is a true lover of animals. Great communication and very trustworthy. Highly recommend ?”


10. Michael S.
“Hello, Mike is an amazing person and the best pet care giver. I have known him well over a decade, he's always been great to his fur babies as well as my own. Currently when I work double shifts he comes and let's my girls out, and gives them loves. I trust him with my pack, and they trust and love him. I highly recommend him for this role.”




11. Sierra M.
About: Hello! I live in the neighborhood and walk everyday. I would rather walk with a dog! Great photographer and much experience with dogs of all sizes! I am hoping to find some nice neighborhood dogs to hang out with - I work from home most of the week and have a flexible schedule. I’m interested in hearing about your dog’s personality before walking, and I always prefer to meet them and you before the first walk. I take great dog photographs!




12. Alyssa J. C.

“Alyssa was very attentive to the routine for our pups and kept us updated every day on how they were doing. This was the first time we used Rover and having someone stay at our house. Alyssa took photos and sent texts, which allowed us to relax knowing our babies were well cared for! We came home to a clean house and happy pups! Hopefully she will be available next time!”


13. Teren P.

“Teren provided great care for my 3 dogs for several days over the holidays. She stayed at my home and kept it well too. I look forward to using her again in the future.”


14. Brandy & Chad F.

“Brandy and Chad did an excellent job of caring for Maggie and managing Harpo.”


15. Marianne W.
“I think Marianne would make a fabulous Rover employee. She has 20 years experience working for a veterinarian. She loves being around animals cats and dogs. She also is working caring for the elderly. She has the heart the size of the moon when it comes to animals and caring for people.”


16. Julianna J.

19. Tiffany W.

“Tiffany was great with our pets and followed our instructions. Sent pictures of all three of our pets everyday while we were away, would book again!”


20. Taylen P.

“Taylen did a phenomenal job! Not only was she punctual for our meet up, but she was also very personable and it was clear that she cares about animals. We have a very elderly dog that requires a lot of extra support but Taylen was willing to help with all that was needed to care for our sweet girl in our absence. We received updates throughout our trip and knew she was in good care - we’d definitely book with Taylen again!”
