1. Che K.
“Che was the absolute best! He treated Ace like his own! And his dog Jolie and Ace got along great! I recommend Che 100%. We are definitely going to use him all the time!”
2. Alexander E.
“Alexander communicated well, as well as when our dog got hurt because being afraid of fireworks he offered a full refund to pay for the dog care, showing more worry about the puppy rather than being worried about being paid. Very respectable and good with Juno.”
3. Valerie S.
“Valerie was fantastic!! Our boy loved spending the weekend with her and her pups. She was a great communicator, sent us pictures throughout each day, and asked us any questions she had about caring for Duke. I will definitely rebooking with her in the future!”
4. Hannah J.
“Hannah was great, super helpful, patient, friendly and easy to work with! She kept us updated and our pup was very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely use her services again. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’m compassionate about humans and animals, have a very giving heart, why Emmy Dog is a rescue and has been my whole world for years now!:) I’m recently semi retired from corporate America so have ample flexible time to work with and care for your fur babies on your particular schedule!:) Emmy Dog is more well behaved than some toddlers from the consistent care she’s received from me over the last few years she’s been with me!:)
6. Kaleigha W.
“had the absolute pleasure of working with my sister Kaleigha n a recent project that involved handling some of the most well-behaved, but sometimes challenging, dogs. I’ve always known she had a special connection with animals, but seeing her in action was truly impressive. There was a situation where a dog got a little too excited during a witness testimony session, and things could’ve easily spiraled. But Kaleigha handled it with such calm and confidence, not only soothing the dog but also keeping everything running smoothly. Her patience and understanding with the dogs are unmatched, and it's clear she truly cares about their well-being. She has a natural gift, and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to work with in that environment. Whether it's managing a tricky situation or just giving the dogs the attention they need, kaleigha knows exactly how to make everything come together beautifully. It’s always a joy working alongside her, and I’m proud to call her not just my sister, but a true professional when it comes to working with dogs.”
7. Kayla F.
“Kayla was so great with our golden retriever Wrigley! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day of him letting us know he’s doing good. I would definitely recommend her for your fur baby’s.”
8. Sophia D.
“Sophia took care of my dog Zoey for a whole week and I couldn’t be happier with her. She cares about dogs more than anything. I would highly recommend her and would highly trust her with my dogs.”
9. Monique L.
“I will be bringing back my fur babies every time we have to go out of town she is great keeps you updated on what they did and send alot of pictures and they came back happy”
10. Brandy M.
About: A few years ago, my landlord gave me two options: to give up my dog or to move out. Not knowing what the future would hold, I chose to leave and keep my dog. She's my only family, and now she is 4 years old. We've had the best time together. I am 100% responsible for my pet and will take care of them in every way. FYI: I don't have Cats, for some reason Rover does not let me remove it from my profile. I'm pretty flexible on Monday, Friday, and weekend. I can always schedule something on other days if needed but has to be after 6 pm. I make sure they have food and plenty of water. I also have time to go for a walk and play with their toys. They all need so much love.
11. Shelby N.
“Shelby has been pet sitting and dog walking for me for a few years now, and she is amazing. She is the definition of an animal person. She loves each animal like they are her own. When it comes to your pet, you’ll do anything to keep them happy and healthy. It is such a relief to know that if I am busy, out of town, or sick, that I have a trustworthy person I can count on to step in and walk my dog. Can’t recommend her enough!”
12. Kaylea B.
“To say Kaylea is amazing with animals would be an understatement. I have 2 big dogs and 3 cats. Anytime i leave town she was always the one I would choose to take care of my animals. They love her and she spoils them like they are her own. If you are looking for a trustworthy, honest, and amazing animal lover look no further. Can’t say enough great things!! Thank you Kaylea for offering your services to us animal mamas!!”
13. Kayley E.
“Kayley was wonderful to my little Charlie. He came home happy and content. 😊❤️🐶”
14. MaryBeth D.
About: Taking care of dogs have been a passion of mine. Playing, taking care of, and training dogs are a hobby I enjoy. A side from other sitters I am very reliable and loving with great communication. I 3-4 times a week I go to local shelters and play and hangout with pets. I have always made my schedule around them. :) My pets have been my world since day one. I consider my pets as my children and give them my divided attention. They are the happiest furr babies!
15. cheryl h.
“Cheryl was our saving grace hours before we had to catch a flight (other confirmed sitter was not home). Our babies had a fabulous time running around Cheryl Green fenced backyard -another awesome surprise for last minute/in a pinch. Cheryl sent several pics throughout the day. Will use her again!”
16. Skylar E.
“Skylar was amazing with Duke for the weekend! She was super communicative before and during Duke's stay, and I felt great knowing Duke was in her capable hands!”
17. Virginia J.
“Virginia (Ginger) has taken care of my pets (dogs, cats, and fish!) on multiple occasions, and is one of the most reliable people I know. She sends frequent updates, follows instructions, and is so so good about giving them the care they need, to the point where my dog, Keanu, seemed disappointed when I came home! My dogs love her, and she was so sweet taking care of my elderly cat with some special needs. Would highly recommend her for any pet care!”
18. Courtnee H.
“My dogs love Courtnee ! You can trust her to take care of your babies the same as she does hers. They enjoy going to see her.”
19. Jasmine D.
“I highly recommend Jasmine as a dog care giver with Rover. She has been taking care of my Goldendoodle, Lucy, for the last 2 months, and I am so happy with the way she provides love, discipline (when needed), and active attention. Jasmine and her family are great at recognizing Lucy’s needs and putting them first. She regularly walks her, feeds her on a set schedule, and even sleeps with her. I am very confident in Jasmine, and I know any dog (and dog parent) would be lucky to have her!”
20. Kaeli L.
About: My name is Kaeli. I work full-time as a nurse and am doing this on the side for some fun and extra fur love! I work 3 days/week and am available the rest of the week. I have experience with large and small dogs. I have always owned dogs. I’ve also whelped 2 litters of puppies. I take care of my parents, neighbors, in-law's pets whenever needed. I am reliable and trustworthy. I know how it feels to be away and worried about your dogs, but let me alleviate that stress for you! I will love them like my own. My dogs are my whole world. I work 3 12hr shifts per week. My schedule changes per week but currently I am always off 3 days in a row. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about my availability for the week. I have a fenced in yard. My dogs are crated when I leave the house and during feedings. I own an extra crate if needed. I always have an eye on the dogs in the home so they are safe and not getting into anything they shouldn’t.
