1. Carolyn T.

“This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous about having a stranger watch my dog because she has a lot of anxiety. Carolyn did a meet and greet earlier in the week to make sure it was a good fit. She arrived on time and took good care of my dog, sending lots of picks of her playing. I will definitely use her again in the future.”


2. Barb K.

“Barb was fantastic! We were very hesitant to leave our dogs with someone new; however, we are new to this area and needed to find someone dependable for when we are away. We definitely found that in Barb! She put us at ease quickly. During the meet and greet our dogs loved her and it was clear that she knew how to play with and care for dogs. Her genuine love for dogs was evident in the consistent communication and photos that she shared while we were away. We will definitely use Barb again and would highly recommend you giving her a try if you are in need.”


3. Kelly S.

“Great with our dog! He’s a 90 lbs husky/malamute who gets daily medication and a special diet. Kelly was excellent with him! She was great with the medication instructions and feeding, took him on long daily walks, and was very caring towards him! I would 100% book with Kelly again”


4. Jessica E.


“Jess stayed with our dog Otis for a week at our house and the entire experience was smooth! We came home to an extremely happy puppy who was well taken care of and loved while we were gone. Jess gave us updates every day and sent lots of pictures of Otis. I highly recommend using Jess as your dog sitter, she’s wonderful!”


5. Austyn S.
“There isn’t a single person that I trust more to take care of my pets. Austyn is an animal lover through and through, and takes the responsibility of caring for them seriously. You’d be hard pressed to find someone as dedicated and passionate about providing the type of care she’d expect for her own pets.”




6. Jessica G.

“Jessica was beyond wonderful with our dogs. She clearly is an animal lover and she treated ours like they were her own. Her communication was absolutely top notch with so many pictures and updates! I can’t recommend her enough!”


7. Kara F.

“Kara is awesome! Very detailed and easy to work with. Our puppers loved her!”


8. Lucinda E.
“Luci is an absolute gem when it comes to pet sitting. She’s one of the most reliable, caring, and attentive people I know, not just with animals, but in everything she does. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or any creature in between, Luci treats each pet like they’re part of her own family (though I will say she’s especially gifted with cats!). She’s incredibly responsible, keeps you updated with photos and messages, and goes above and beyond to make sure your pets are happy, healthy, and loved while you're away. I’ve seen her win over even the most anxious pets with her calming energy and kind heart. Plus, your home will be just as you left it- if not cleaner! If you’re lucky enough to book Luci, your pets are in the best possible hands. I can’t recommend her enough!”


9. Laura S.


“We felt great leaving our dog with Laura. She was communicative and respectful of our house. We are looking forward to having her stay again soon!”


10. Emily K.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I have taken care of dogs for family and friends throughout the years. I am comfortable with big and small dogs! Currently I am available every weekend or nights after 5pm. I am a teacher so with summer coming up, I will the be available 24/7! My dogs are apart of my family, and your pets will be treated the same way! I am gentle, loving and compassionate with them. They are allowed on furniture, get daily walks and are loved!


11. Dave Z.

“Dave was really helpful, especially since we had another sitter cancel last minute and he was able to accommodate anyway. Kiko had a great time and our home was well looked after, too. Thanks again!”


12. Elizabeth W.

“So happy with Elizabeth. My dogs were very well taken care of and we’ll definitely set up another appointment. She sent pictures and we felt very comfortable leaving for an overnight. Definitely recommend.”


13. Emma S.

“Did a great job with my boys.”


14. Emily C.

“Emily is AMAZING! I highly recommend her. Someone else was supposed to watch our dog during our wedding and they canceled on us the night before our big day. I downloaded the Rover app and Emily came to meet our pup within an hour of us chatting and put ALL my worries aside. She sent us pictures and updates throughout the day, took our dog for walks, and played with him so he wasn’t alone the entire day. She made me feel so at ease and is a great dog sitter.”


15. Mackenzie E.

“If you want a pet sitter who will treat your pets like their own, pick Mackenzie!! She is our go to pet sitter for our three dogs and two cats. She goes above and beyond every time and is so good with them all! I have dogs ranging from 7 pounds to 110 pounds and I would trust her with any of them any day! Thank you Mackenzie, my babies love you!”


16. Jaiden K.
“Hi there! Jaiden is my 18 year old daughter who takes care of our two dogs: Indigo, a docile golden doodle and Remy, a very rambunctious German Shepard ! She has a lot of experience with dogs and she will treats yours like her own ♥️”


17. Stephanie C.

“Stephanie is the best! Great with our high energy pup and really appreciated the updates”


18. Samantha W.
“I would recommend Sam to anyone looking for a reliable and kind person to care for their pets. She truly cares for animals as if they were her own. I have 3 cats and a dog. My dog gets very excited to see her every time she comes over and even my very shy cat comes out when she is here! I can fully trust in the care Sam provides my fur-babies - amazing service!”


19. Sunnie S.
About: My whole life I was never able to have pets up until two years ago which is when I got my first girl, Jojo. She changed my life completely and so I had to get her a sister. My love for them is unmatched and even though I don’t have training what I do have is unconditional love and plenty of free time. I recently resigned from my job so I do not have a work schedule to work around so I am able to give my pets as well as yours all the attention and care that they need. I do have a fenced yard so if they need to go outside for potty or play there is no risk of them running off. I also two dogs at home as previously mentioned but I do have a dog gate inside if your pet needs some alone time. I separate my dogs during meal times and sometimes just to give individual attention. Both my dogs are girls and they are sweet and very playful.


20. Nikki & Justin A.


“Nikki was wonderful with our beagle, Wesley. She sent pictures regularly and followed our requests without any issues! Our house, including all our flowers, were well cared for! Communication excellent. Nikki was also very accommodating when we had travel issues returning home. We would use her services again, for sure!”
