1. Kristall N.

“Kristall was so good to our girl pups! She made sure to give them sufficient outside time to sunbathe and run around after being cooped up in the house. They were so happy to see her - I loved the expression on their faces after her visit. The photos she sent really captured their appreciation and affection towards her. Will definitely be recommending her to friends and neighbors!”


2. Stacia E.

“Stacia has been amazing! She takes my boy Bruce Wayne for potty breaks a few days a week. She always send me pictures and updates and even brought my packages in from outside. 10/10”


3. Ashley T.


“Ashley was wonderful! Super communicative and just helpful all around. I knew it was going to be a good fit when our dog actually ate her food while Ashley was dropping in. That is a rare thing for our old girl. Thank you Ashley!”




4. Katie G.

“Katie is the best. Easy to work with, reliable, great communicator, friendly & pro. She went above and beyond while caring for our Luna kitty in our home while we were away (even brought in a perishable delivery & put it in the dresser for us so it didn’t go bad!). She sent pics and even okayed with Luna so she wasn’t money and bored. She will be our go-to kitty sitter for sure. ??”

10. Lindsey & Jose H.
“Lindsey & Jose are the most reliable pet sitters! My dog Chunkers was cared for so well while I was away on vaccination. I have known Lindsey for over 20 Years and she has always been a responsible and respectful person. 10/10 stars”


11. Halle B.
“Halle took care of my two energetic pups for four days. She provided timely updates and was able to manage them despite their large size and high energy levels. She was great, and I would definitely hire her again! She was so patient and understanding with my pups.”


12. Sheri B.
“Sheri has cared for my cats and dogs multiple times. She has always gone above and beyond with her care and concerns for my fur babies. She follows instructions to the letter and also takes time to note anything she thinks needs to be addressed. She communicates each time she visits and always leaves my home tidy and the animals healthy and happy. She has been able to befriend even my grumpiest of cars and dogs over the years. I had an older pitbull that wouldn't accept many people but she was sweet and gentle with Sheri. I would highly recommend anyone looking for someone to walk their dogs or do stop in pet sitting checks.”

“I think that Riley would be a great pet sitter because she has been doing it all of her life. All dogs love her and she takes great care of her dogs. Friends and family have asked her to watch their animals before and they never want to leave back with their owners because they love her so much!”


19. Austin B.
“I went on a cruise last month and was about to get him to come over and take care of my cat for the week I was gone. It's an outside and inside cat so he played with him outside and inside while taking cute photos of him, I think he'd be a great person for this because he was so great and make sure my cat was taken care of!!”


20. Amber B.
About: I’ve had a dog for 7 years, as well as have taken care of family/ friends dogs. I also volunteered at the SPCA this past semester at college where I provided love and enrichment to the cats! I’m currently a recently college graduate looking for work in the area, but have yet to find something suitable. Thus I’m giving rover a try, and am open to any opportunities! I have a fenced yard and garden for space for animals to run around! I also have a friendly dog and 2 family members in my household to keep company!
