Barber updated me daily, shared pictures, and kept in contact. I would definitely recommend Barber and will ask her to pet sit on our next vacation.”

“Kelly was awesome! I had last minute travel plans for the holidays and had never used Rover before, but I’m glad I did! She was prompt, communicative, and sent detailed updates/pictures so I could have peace of mind while away from my kitties. She even went above and beyond by offering to bring in my mail and cleaning up a mess one of my cats made. I would recommend her services to anyone!”

18. Taylor S.
About: I’ve raised 4 dogs from 6 weeks until now. My four dogs are 11, 9, 5, & 4. They are all leash, potty, & crate trained. I am a stay at home mom, who would love to get out of the house and help others with their fur babies in the mornings & evenings! I currently have 4 dogs that love their fenced in back yard. 3 of them have crates to stay in during the day. My oldest one doesn’t enjoy a crate so she has her own safe space.
19. Abbey H.
“Abbey continues to be the best dog sitter for our pups! We have odd drop in time requests for our senior dog and she shows up without fail and alway sends pictures and cute updates. Thanks Abbey, we’ll be reaching out again soon!”
20. Trisha M.
“Trisha is excellent. My cat really seems to enjoy her drop in visits and she is well fed and taken care of. One thing I don’t have to worry about when I’m traveling. Trisha is highly recommended.”
