1. Johana M.

“Johana did a wonderful job with out three dogs. She make sure Jack got his medicine on time and snuggle with them as they like it. She provided us with photo updates and we found a small Polaroid picture of the dogs and a nice thank you note from her when we got home. Thank you for taking such good care of our babies. We will definitely use your services again.”


2. Scarlett M.

“Scarlett was absolutely wonderful! Literally from meeting her to the time she left it was a great experience. We have 6 dogs and they were loved on ! Thank you so much Scarlett!”


3. Gypsy G.

“Gypsy was very communicative and shared daily photos, videos, and updates on our pets. We have three small dogs and they are a handful, so we are so grateful that she took such great care of them! She took our pups on walks each day and followed our directions for their care well. We hope to book again!”


4. Charles L.

“Excellent job. Took great care of our babies, even left a note on the days events. We will use him again and highly recommend him.”


5. Crystal G.


“Crystal was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and Crystal was a perfect match! She not only took great care of Honey but our home too. Honey started new meds a day before we went out of town and Crystal was able to give them to her without any problem. From the pictures we received during her stay, it was clear that Honey was being well taken care of and enjoying Crystal’s company. I highly recommend Crystal!”


6. Megan M.
“Megan is an amazing person, a great friend and family member. However her real calling is caring for animals. If there is a stray animal in the neighborhood you can bet it will shortly be walking in and out of Megan’s house within a short period of time. They gravitate towards her as she is a loving and kind presence in the face of danger. She has had many pets of her own who are beyond loved and well cared for and has been a godsend to anyone who needs to have their dog lovingly provided for while they are away. I highly recommend her for any level of care a pet needs. She’s a gem.”


7. Shana S.

“Shana was fantastic! She took great care of our dogs and house while keeping us updated the whole time. Our pups were happy when we got back. Highly recommend Shana – 5 stars across the board!”


8. Shera M.

“Highly recommend Shera for any dog watching/walking/housesitting needs! She was very communicative and provided us with plenty of pictures of our happy dog with her.”


9. Hannah R.

“Hannah did an amazing job taking care of my dog, Marley! I’ve used Rover a couple of times, but Hannah is by far the best dog sitter I’ve used from Rover. It’s very difficult to find a really great, and reliable sitter. She stayed overnight in my house and stayed in touch with me throughout whether it was texting or sending me pictures of Marley. Marley loved Hannah! I will definitely be using Hannah again!”


10. Zoey B.
“I cannot recommend Zoey enough! She is truly the *best* dog sitter and walker we've ever had. She’s been walking and watching my two dogs for a while now, and I trust her completely. Both of my pups absolutely adore her-and that says a lot, because one of them is pretty shy and slow to warm up to people. She’s incredibly reliable, professional, and always goes above and beyond to make sure my dogs are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s daily walks or overnight stays, I know they’re in the best hands. I’ve even gotten sweet photo updates that make my day when I’m away. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, look no further. She’s a gem!”


11. Laura S.


“Laura was absolutely wonderful. She met us posted with photos.of our pups every day. I felt totally comfortable trusting our home and pets to her care. We will.use her again and again ”


12. Holly B.
“Holly is a kind and loyal pet caregiver. She is reliable and responsible. Holly follows individual care directions with compassion. I completely trust her to care for my pets.”


13. Eric D.

“Eric couldn’t have been better plain and simple. Versatile, frequent and clear communication and the pup has never been happier. Exactly what I hoped for using this service I wouldn’t change a thing.”


14. Nicole C.

“Nikki was wonderful with our two small dogs..she is sincere in her care and patience and willingness to adjust with a picky eater! We are going to use her again in the very near future! We HIGHLY recommend her!!!”


15. Matthew M.
“Matthew has cared for our very active Aussie and our cats on several occasions, including extended trips. He is super courteous and accommodating. He lets us know how the pets are doing and sends pictures of them. He is great with the animals and they really like him. Highly recommend!”


16. Ligia T.


“We were gone for nearly three weeks and came home to a clean house and a happy dog! Ligia is great with dogs and respectful of your property. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

20. Scott T.

“Once again, Scott was great with Roxie. He gave her all the love and belly rubs she is used to, and sent daily pictures. I came home to a happy and healthy pup! I know I can always count on Scott to take care of Roxie when I’m not there!”
