“Dakota was a wonderful sitter! Dakota came for a meet and greet a few days beforehand, and Wes was immediately relaxed. You can tell how much Dakota cares about taking care of your dog and their individual needs. We got several photos and updates throughout the time Dakota was watching Wes, which really put us at ease. We would absolutely recommend Dakota, and would be happy to have Dakota watch We anytime!”

“This was our first time with Lisa, and she did not disappoint. Punctual, very friendly, personable and clearly an animal lover, she was very good with our Dog Bella, sent messages and pictures, and even surprised us with Xmas cookies and dog toys! We very much enjoyed having her in our home and will definitely book her again if the need arises. Thank you, Lisa!”

“Christian went above and beyond all that was expected for our dog Murphy and for our home while we were away for a week and is truly the best. Christian is phenomenal, is so caring and pays attention to detail. Murphy loves Christian and was so comfortable the entire week - we were totally confident and comfortable knowing Christian was here for us while we were away! We could not recommend Christian more!!!!”

12. Johanna S.

“Highly recommend Johanna for your pet sitting needs. She watched my pup in my home for a couple of days and provided excellent care! Communication was prompt and Johanna provided lots of pictures. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet care!”


13. Zach D.

“Zach was a new sitter to our family and I am so glad we met him through Rover! He took the absolute best care of our dog and cats, and our house, while we were away for a few days. It was so nice knowing our furry family members were in great hands. He definitely treated them like his own and I have a feeling they're going to miss him now that we're home! We can't wait to have Zach back again!”

“Mackenzie is super helpful and responsible for our puppy while we were away for a music festival. In addition to being a great caretaker of our dog, she is easy to communicate with and did a good job providing updates about our puppy. It is our first time using Rover and we are glad it worked out. So thank you so much Mackenzie and we would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs good care for their dogs.”


16. Samantha R.

“Sam is a great communicator, very responsible, and treated our dogs just like her own! She dealt with our German shepherds, consistent need to fetch, and was patient and kind with our other older dog. Would recommend her to anyone!”


17. Madison & Ryan N.

“Madison and Ryan were so great with my two pups! They sent plenty of updates and pictures which is always appreciated. One of my pups ended up getting sick on the last day from an autoimmune condition and they were super attentive and caught onto the symptoms immediately. They even offered to stay later than planned to keep an eye on him until we got home. 10/10 recommend and will book again!”


18. Rachael K.

“Rachael was absolutely fantastic. I could tell right away she is a special person, who connects with dogs on a deep and meaningful level. I have three hounds on special diets, multiple supplements, and with special care needs. She was wonderful handling all of the above and keeping me updated with pics and stories. It was truly the first time in a LONG time that I felt comfortable leaving them. She also left our home spotless, and left a wonderful note. We’ve had the same sitter for almost 7 years, but she moved away a few years ago. Since then, We’ve been searching high and low for someone we can trust, and who will really care for our babies the way we do, and we believe we’ve found her- at long last !! Thank you Rachael !! ??”


19. Estefani M.

“The dogs and I loved Estefani! It's always hard to leave them behind, when she came over to meet them the dogs instantly loved her and she seemed to like them just as much. I got a lot of pictures and videos which is great! The house was clean when we came home and the dogs were in good spirits, I highly recommend Estefani!”


20. Paige H.

“Highly recommend Paige as a dog sitter! I’ve never felt more at ease leaving our two German Shepherds with anyone especially in our home. She is incredibly experienced, respectful, and truly caring. It’s clear she have a genuine love for animals, and our dogs were in great hands.”
