“Rebecca takes great care of our pup. She makes traveling so much easier knowing that our dog will be well taken care of. She is great at responding to messages and always on time.”


2. Christopher R.

“Thank you so much Christopher. I can totally picture the excitement they must of had when they saw you. They're good boys with a lot of love and energy. I'm glad they could share some with you. They'll be happy to see you again in the future. Have a great weekend.”


3. Craig H.

“Craig was great with our dog and two cats while we were away. The dog got long walks and lots of play time with him. Even the cats seemed content once we got home. We look forward to using him again in the future.”


4. Brittany O.

“This is the second time I have had Brittany take care of the cat clan here, and once again she did a great job! It is reassuring to receive her msgs and photos while away. I know the cats are well taken care of. I will definitely book her again.”


5. Maggie & Brandon M.
About: I have helped raise dogs and cats since I was a child. I have experience with dogs with special needs that require medication. I love dogs of all sizes and cats, too! My husband and I work from home and have very flexible hours. I believe in rewarding good behavior with lots of love and am strict when necessary in the face of bad behavior. I don't believe in using physical discipline and have never done so. I work from home and am available at any time, so I have a lot of flexibility that matches what clients need for their pets. I always do my best to make clients and their pets comfortable. I prefer to meet the pets beforehand to ensure we're a good fit.


6. Ashley C.

“Ashley does an amazing job taking care of your fur babies . My Kiki was very well taken care of & loved. She provides excellent communication, which gives you peace of mind while you are away.”


7. Melia B.
“I’ve seen firsthand how loving and responsible Mel is with animals. She cares for our dog Lily as if she were her child—walks, playtime, meals, and endless affection. Watching her with Lily shows just how naturally nurturing and attentive she is. Any pet in her care will be treated like family.”


8. Charles M.
“As a Rover petsitter myself, I have high standards for good quality dog care. And, Charlie is top notch! He walked, sat and cared for our dog for over 10 years. Charlie was Violet's favorite caretaker. He was super responsible and aware of her needs, often pointing out things about her behavior that I might not have even noticed. She loved playing with him, running around the yard or tossing a ball, taking long walks and snuggling with him. He always had an eye out for new things she might like. And, he'd even bathe & trim her when we asked. You can be confident that Charlie will take the best care of your loved one!”


9. Aimee T.
About: Hello! I'm Aimee, and I've been a pet owner since I was a teenager, taking primary care of our family pets growing up. Today, I'm a pround mama of a 4 yr old Boxer/Pitbull mix who is my pride amd joy! In the past, I've taken care of puppies, adult and senior dogs - specifically, senior dogs who require a lot of attention and patience due to medical issues. Additionally, being a behavioral analyst in my work life has allowed me to expand my training skills, which I have applied to my own pup at home. My schedule can be flexible and different every week. During the week, I'm available mostly in the mornings before 12pm - weekends can be flexible! I prefer to meet dogs with their owners present prior to beginning regular check ins - this will allow your dog to get to know me and become familiar before I introduce myself without their owners nearby.


10. Gage B.

“So grateful for Gage's check in!! Dogs were happy for attention, water bowl refilled, and best of all - our minds were at ease. Thank you!”




11. Sam N.

“Sam was great when she watched my cats, and all of the pics she sent during her visits were amazing! I’ll definitely keep her in mind when I travel again 😺”


12. Lee K.
“Lee did an AMAZING job with my 2 Brittanys while we were out of state for a family wedding. I received many updates and photos of how the dogs were doing. I will definitely be using Haylee as my go-to for dog sitting. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”


13. Norma G.

“Norma is very dependable and takes great care of our cats. She makes sure they are both safe and sound so we can enjoy ourselves and not worry about them.”


14. Alyssa B.

“Alyssa was fabulous with my two 6 year old kitties and if I could give her 6 stars I would! We were gone for 8 days and leaving them was so hard, but I knew they were in wonderful hands. Each day I received photos of Melody and Hoover along with notes about how they were doing, leaving no doubt in my mind that she was the right person for their care. She went 'above and beyond' which settled any uneasiness about leaving them. Even down to unforseen traveling delays coming home, she was there to lend a hand if necessary. I will definitely use her again.”


15. Jordan S.
“I have had the pleasure of knowing Jordan for decades, and I can confidently say that he is the perfect choice for a Rover pet sitter. From a young age, Jordan has demonstrated a lifelong love of dogs, always showing a natural ability to connect with them on a deep and caring level. His genuine affection for animals is evident in the way he interacts with every dog he meets, treating them as if they were his own. Jordan is not only caring but also incredibly responsible. He understands the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and ensuring their safety and well-being at all times. His attention to detail and commitment to providing the best care possible make him a trustworthy choice for any pet owner. In addition to his responsibility and caring nature, Jordan is one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. His warm and approachable demeanor instantly puts both pets and their owners at ease. You can rest assured that your furry family member will be in the best hands with Jordan as their sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a reliable and compassionate caregiver for their beloved pets.”


16. Elena L.

“Thank you. Great attention to detail.”


17. Kathy S.

“Great job! Loved the pictures. On time and followed the plan. Thank you!”


18. Haley P.
“I cannot say enough great things about Haley. She has been pet sitting for our family for about 7 years. She has helped us with drop in visits, walks, and overnights. She is the one I call any time we go on a family vacation, she is the only one I trust with my fur babies, especially overnight and for multiple nights! I never have to worry if they are being properly cared for. It’s an amazing feeling being able to get away and know everything is being taken care of and my pets are being treated with love. We currently have 3 large dogs, 2 of which need to maintain their own space due to dominance issues and Haley does a great job keeping them separate, while also making sure their individual needs are being met. All 3 dogs get very excited when Haley comes to visit and I know they are being cared for amazingly and loved when Haley is there! We have 2 cats and a bearded dragon that Haley helps care for when she is here too, so she has definitely mastered caring for multiple pets at a time! Haley does a fantastic job following all of my pets feeding schedules and daily routines, and most importantly, treats them with the love and care they deserve. I can’t imagine choosing anyone else, Haley will forever be my go-to pet sitter.”


19. Guadalupe P.

“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”


20. Debbie R.

“Debbie was great! Kind and knowledgeable. The dogs liked her right away. She was very reliable, flexible and easy going! Can’t recommend more highly!!”
