“Krista is very knowledgeable and professional. She took wonderful care of our pup right after he got neutered and was recovering from the procedure. She goes above and beyond with sending a report at the end of her visit with plenty of pictures.”
“Devinder has helped us a couple of times while we were on vacation. He is reliable and I feel that my doggies are well care for while I am away.”
“Jessica‘s walked my dog several times now. She always shows up exactly what time she says she will be there and does a great job with my dog. I’ll be using her more in the future.”
“Monique took excellent care of our pup! Her communication was excellent, and we came back to a very happy doggo (who without company is usually anxious when we return). Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“Rachel was excellent! She was very responsive, kind, reliable, and went out of her way to make sure my doggie felt loved and had fun on her walks! Will absolutely use her again in the future”
“Sierra has been walking our dog Harley for a little over a month now and all I can say is how grateful we are to have found Sierra! Harley can be a shy girl initially but she warmed right up to Sierra and loves her midday walks with her! I would definitely recommend Sierra for any pet care needs. She is so responsive and sends lots of pictures of your fur baby (which we love) each time she’s with them and a detailed review of their time together.”
“Kate was fabulous with my dog and my roommate's dog from the very beginning! My girl is usually loud and unfriendly with strangers but warmed up to Kate almost immediately. Everything about the experience was wonderful and I'd absolutely recommend Kate.”
“I’m so glad I found Candace, she’s the most communicative and responsive sitter! Appreciate her availability last minute this week for two walks while I was out of town.”
About: I’ve been a pet lover since I was a kid, and have owned cats since age 4. Currently I’ve got 2 Maine Coon (big) cats and 2 kids! If you need drop ins for home, pet, and/or plant care, I’d love to help. Rest easy knowing that your caregiver is a responsible adult mom who can follow a routine, stick to a plan, and send you cute pictures. I’m currently a stay at home mom, and my kids are in school or summer camps most days! My best hours are between 9am and 3pm, with “tuck in” availability after 7:30pm. I’d be happy to accommodate your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible and stick to familiar routines to reduce the stress they feel without you there with them.
About: I have plenty of shelter experience and worked at Petsmart for 3 years in my past. I've always been around animals whether it was to watch them for someone else or from owning them myself. I've owned many small rodents (rats, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs), fish (betta), and cats/dogs (big and small). You can trust your animal will be in great hands with me no matter what! I have open availability! Whether you need drop ins, overnight stays, feedings, or simply a dog walker. Let me know what your animal needs and you will be in good hands! Unfortunately I can't accommodate your animal in my space. I will have to watch your pets in your space, but I will give your pet them every bit of respect and care they deserve.
“She is so awesome!!! My baby loves her I didn’t know he would actually listen he usually is scared of meeting new people but he was comfortable enough to listen to her I would definitely recommend her”
“Kayley is wonderful! I am so happy to have her walk my dog Bilbo during the day, especially during the winter months. He liked her instantly and was very happy to walk with her. I highly recommend her!”
“Kudos to Keith! I highly recommend him. I have an older special needs dog who still has some pep in his step and loves going for walks. I can't always get out with my pooch, but luckily Keith has stepped in to help on a regular basis. Keith has a good understanding of my dog's needs. During walks he keeps me posted with photos or a video. Upon return, he shares helpful observations about my dog's behavior. It is a comfort to know that my dog is in such capable hands!”
“Cindy was responsible and caring for our dog. She worked with us to support changes in the schedule and communicated clearly when this came up. She made appropriate decisions when hot weather became an issue. Highly recommend Cindy!”
“Danielle is awesome! She took amazing care of my 5 month puppy, walked, played and trained with her so she got mental stimulation, sent tons of photos. And very flexible. Definitely recommend her!”

She has matched their energy in play, and offered a calm presence when needed. Cole keeps careful track of her schedule, and is diligent about keeping her commitments.”
Collette J.
“Collette has been the dogsitter for my elderly dog with mobility issues multiple times, including multi-day overnight petsitting during travel. She is very careful and thoughtful with animals, and I had no doubt that my dog was getting loving attention and care while I was away. This included, in my case: assisting my dog up and down steps, helping him settle into dog beds, and administering his medications twice daily. Through all of this, Collette provided great communication and clearly has a great touch for animals.”

John Marshall dog parents share their Rover experiences
Max is my dog’s favorite! I started a new job that requires a much longer commute, so he’s been walking Junie every week day for a couple of weeks now. He is very responsive, arrives on time, sends pictures, and is very patient with my neurotic dog. She loves Max! I highly recommend him!
Sun is a great dog mom. I’ve used her several times to watch and walk my dog Nymeria. And she has done an excellent and great job. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your dog just as much as you would or even more, Sun is the right person because not only does she care she treats every dog like they’re her own.
