“Crystal was outstanding. I was so impressed with how quickly she bonded with my rambunctious GSPs. She was super on communication and it gave me a lot of joy to see how well my girls were being cared for. Cannot recommend her highly enough!”


2. Victoria S.

“Victoria is an excellent dog sitter—gentle, kind, and knowledgeable. She took care of our pup and was amazing with him. I highly recommend choosing her for your fur babies.”




3. Cheryl W.


“Cheryl communicates well and took great care of our home and 2 girls. They don't always take to sitters but were super mellow and happy after 2 nights with Cheryl. Highly recommend and will book her again!!”


4. Leo B.

“Leo was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have two senior dogs and one of which does not warm up to people very often and she loved Leo! He took them for walks and send me cute photos of them! He also administered antibiotic eyedrops for one of my dogs twice a day, and he cleaned and monitored the area for me. He went above and beyond! I came home to a clean apartment and the dishes that I stored their fresh food in for the week were all clean. Would highly recommend Leo for any dog needs!”


5. Crispin B.

7. Ann S.


“Anny did an overnight for my two bunnies, Donut and Luna, and she was wonderful. She wrote notes as I instructed her on details, left the place spotless, and my fur babies immediately took to her calm, loving nature. She’s a pro!”

“Sophia was very respectful of Millie's space and in turn Millie warmed up to her very quickly. Sophia is very communicative and provided lots of pictures of Millie!”


9. Kimberly S.
“Kimberly is hands down someone I can trust wholeheartedly with my cats. She is attentive, and has always made my pets feel so loved whenever she’s been around. I have no doubt that she would be a great candidate for anyone in need of petsitting.”


10. Grace & Anthony C.

“Grace & Anthony were so patient with my special needs dog. By the middle of their stay, my dog warmed up and even slept with them which is very rare :) their communication was frequent and their photos were reassuring that my dog was having the time of his life with their company and care. Highly recommend!”


11. Charlie T.

“Charlie was a great communicator and flexible when our travel plans got complicated. She bonded with our pup and took great care of her! Thanks Charlie!”


12. Elizabeth A.
“Trust is the most important factor when you’re having someone into your home. Elizabeth is super reliable. I never have to worry. She’s never let me down.”


13. Natalie B.

“This was my first time to have Natalie take care of my cattledog and my first time to use Rover! But I am very happy with this first experience and hope that she will be available next time I have to be away from my pup for a while. I have a cattledog who is about 4.5 years old. She did not seem to have missed me one bit, which is a bit sad for me(I missed her a lot) but an important sign that she was well loved and very well cared for. Natalie was very professional, my house was clean when I arrived and she sent me pics every day. I will definitely use her again!”


14. Courtney R.
“Both my dogs love Courtney! I am always at ease about my puppies whenever she is there watching them. I occasionally need to leave town for work for a week or two and knowing Cortney is around to take care of my dogs gives me complete peace of mind. 10/10!”


15. Sofia R.
“Sofía is amazing with dogs. She helped me a lot with mine, treating him with love, patience, and great responsibility. She is attentive, careful, and always pays attention to every detail. You can tell she loves what she does, which gives a lot of peace of mind. Without a doubt, the best option to leave your pet in good hands.”


16. Lennea L.

“What a wonderful sitter!! Not only was our fur princess well cared for but so was our house. Somehow Lennea left it much cleaner than we did and we love the photos of our baby. Thank you for taking great care of her (and the chickens) and our home.”


17. Marolyn C.
“Marolyn has been watching my dogs for almost 3 years now and she without a doubt the most reliable and responsible person I have ever worked with! I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation!”


18. Garrett C.
About: I’d love to pet-sit to get to spend time with animals and be part of a win-win-win arrangement—you win because you have peace of mind that your home and pet are in good hands, your pet wins because it has the full-time care and undivided attention of an experienced human, and I win because I get to explore new parts of the country and enjoy the company of your pets. I’m currently a master’s student, so I have a class schedule with fairly frequent breaks throughout the day. Fridays and weekends are usually free as well. I live in a house with a fenced yard, a few roommates, and one friendly dog who gets along well with pretty much all other pups


19. Renee K.

“Renee was amazing! She was very communicative throughout her entire stay and did everything she could to ease my anxiety while I was away from home. I appreciated her timely responses and her cleanliness! The house was exactly the way I left it. There's a lot of trust that goes into letting someone take care of your pet and your home, and Renee is well deserving of it. I came back to a clean house and more importantly, a pet that was safe, happy, and free of anxiety after I was away.”


20. Kepa B.

“Kepa was awesome! Offered to do a meet and greet the day before dog sitting Teemo. Our dog can be nervous and shy, Kepa took the time to let Teemo warm up to him. Took him on several walks while we were away and hu g out with him on the couch.”
