1. Venessa S.
“I can highly recommend Venessa. She sent daily updates and pictures. We knew everything was going smoothly. Kind and personable. You can tell she genuinely loves animals. Such a relief that we could go away for a week and Dexter was able to stay in his own home.”

“Niessa was the best! We were busy in vacation and weren’t worried about our home or dogs at all. Many pictures were sent to update us. Can’t wait to use Niessa again 🙃”
3. Jacob & Natalie P.
“Jacob is the best! My two misfits love him and he doesn’t seem to mind it when they get a little crazy. Every time I come home from vacation the dogs are relaxed and happy. He goes above and beyond.”
4. Aura V.
“Aura did a fantastic job, she took great care of our baby Ziggy and also our home. We will definitely hire her and get sweet daughter again!”
5. Renee O.
“Renee gets a perfect 10/10 recommendation from us! She looked after our sweet dog for 8 nights at our home, ensuring our baby girl was comfortable and happy while we were away. Renee took her on daily walks, provided regular updates throughout the day, and left our house spotless and well cared for. We can’t say enough good things about her—truly amazing, sweet, and thoughtful. Highly, highly recommend her for any services!”

8. Leila M.
“10/10 recommend!! I reached out to her last minute after reaching out to 15 other people who could couldn’t support our needs. Her profile said she was out of our area so I was so surprised yet so grateful she she took on our pup Dame. She was so accommodating and helpful with us and our pup. I could tell Dame was truly enjoying himself with Leila when I would randomly check the back yard camera and see her playing fetch and tug o war with him (his favorite games). She kept me informed and took pictures and videos of Dame. I’ll definitely be using her services again!!”
9. Lily S.
“Lily was a fantastic find on Rover! We highly recommend! We booked for a 4 days and were at ease to leave our dog under Lily’s care. Bonus was keeping the garden alone in the summer heat and a clean house to come home to! Thank you!”
10. Mary M.
“Mary was very attentive to my pup, and was very helpful. I wasn’t able to get home and my boy is healing from his neutering, she took excellent care of him! Definitely recommend.”
11. Lauren K.
“Lauren was absolutely fabulous. This was the first time leaving our elderly dog as we went out of the country and we were very scared to do so but Lauren made the whole process so easy she sent us daily pictures as well as spoiled our sweet girl to death. 10/10 would recommend her anytime we will definitely be using her in the future!!!!!”
12. Kaylyn M.
“Kaylyn loves pets more than most people, she's an amazing dog mom herself with 2 dogs which are both spoiled :) Kaylyn even will go as far as putting coats and sweaters on the dogs before they go outside. If you're looking for someone to treat and love your pet as their own Kaylyn is definitely the perfect person!”
13. Carl C.
“Carl has always been an animal lover. He has a soft passionate side for all animals. He especially loves chocolate labs as he recently lost his best friend of twelve years, Toffee, to lung cancer and got Pippin shortly after whom he adores. When he was younger he had a tuxedo cat who would walk past everyone in his house and would meow “Carulll”. Animals love him. Hands down I would recommend him for this position. Your pets will also love him as he is fabulous with all of his interactions with all animals.”
14. MaryKathryn & Sebastian O.
“Marykathryn has the responsibility and unconditional love that is required for animals. She is a Nanny, in grad school, and a wife. She loves to take animals on walks, play, or just chill. Animals love her as they can feel her loving easy spirit. I highly recommend her to sit for your animals!!”
15. Katherine K.
“Katherine was an amazing pet (and house) sitter. While we didn’t necessarily book her to house sit, she stayed in our home while we were away, which was a great bonus. She took great care of our Labradors; swimming with them, playing ball, and making sure they received exercise, food, and love. While away, we had several uncommon circumstances occur but Katherine handled them all! We truly appreciated her professionalism, attention to our dogs, and respect for our home. We would definitely book Katherine again and highly recommended her services.”
16. Elon S.
“Elon was great! He even took the time to really get to know the dogs before he sat for us! We highly recommend using him for your future dog sitting needs.”
17. Gianna C.
“Gianna was very communicative and sent lots of pictures of their daily walks. She left our house spotless and was a great house guest. Our fur babies looked like they enjoyed having her there with them. We will definitely be asking her again! Thanks Gianna!”
18. Mia P.
“Mia always does a great job looking after our pups when we’re away!”
19. Michael P.
“Michael is a responsible guy who would be a great member of this program. He loves animals and helping others out. Highly recommend him for being on rover!”
20. Rachel W.
“Rachel is awesome!! She was so flexible with our ever changing travel dates and was happy to come meet our dogs before the booking date! She is terrific with animals and our dogs took to her right away! She was so professional in her explaining what she provides as a dog-walker and caring for them with food or other needed items such as medications. We felt so secure putting our "babies" in her hands! This was our first time using Rover and we will certainly use it again and with Rachel. After our experience we are booking Rachel for future dates! She's a gem!!”
