1. Madison G.
“Madi has watched our cat several times while we’ve been out of town and she’s the best! She sends adorable pictures & updates. Her visits and care genuinely put our minds at ease knowing that our cat is getting love while we are gone. Thanks again, Madi!”
2. Nejra V.
“She was amazing with my two cats. They are a little skittish around new people, but she was patient and they warmed up to her so quickly. One of my kitties has digestive issues and sometimes goes outside the box, and she was amazing with cleaning up, which I didn't even ask of her (my friend was in charge of messes). From the moment she met them, she was warm and excited to see them, which is one of the biggest comforts I can get. Highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
3. Monica D.
“Monica was amazing! She loved on my sweet fur babe while I left town for the day! She left amazing detailed notes after each visit and sent so many pictures! I felt so comfortable with having her come and take care of my babe for the day!”
4. Arielle I.
“My girls are well taken care of when Arielle visits! She sends great updates and multiple photos so I know they’re safe and comfortable when we’re out of town. Definitely recommend this sitter!!”
5. Troy D.
“Troy has been nothing but amazing, not only with our dog but with everything he does! Our pup is a bit people selective and moose was comfortable in no time due to Troy being patient and knowledgeable about how to handle a more reactive dog. My husband and I would 100% recommend him to take care of your furry friend too! He is always on time and makes sure he leaves the house cleaner then when he got there!”
6. Ezequiel R.
“Really appreciated Ezequiel being available on short notice! He made sure to keep me posted about the dogs and how his visits went. I would book with him again.”
7. Jenna R.
“Jenna is very reliable and great at communicating!”
8. Lisa W.
“Lisa, was great with my three cats. I have a almost 15 yr old male cat that has been very skittish all his life. Most pet sitters have never even gotten him out to eat his can food but Lisa not only got him out to eat but also got his medicine on his ears that he has to have twice a day every day for hypothyroidism. Knowing that he was taken care while my husband and I were out of town attending our daughters wedding was a hugh blessing. Thanks again Lisa.”
9. Cory G.
“We just returned from a 2 week trip, and Cory provided care for our 5 cats. He did a fabulous job! 3 of the cats were elusive, but the other 2 warmed up to him. He saw to all of their needs, and also fed the birds and squirrels for us. He did all we asked of him, and I was confident that they were in good hands. I highly recommend Cory, and will reach out to him for future needs. Thank you, Cory for the great job.”
10. Anna B.
“Anna was great about pitching in at the last minute and running over to care for Toby when a meeting ran long and he needed to go out. She is a delight to work with and it is a great relief to know that I can count on her.”
11. Morgan H.
“Dachshunds approved. I booked Morgan for drop in visits while we were out of town. I was kind of nervous on how my 2 judgy wienerdogs would do, but somehow she won them over, and the pictures she sent proved it. So happy it all worked out.”
12. Emily A.
“Emily did daily drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on a 10 day vacation. The cats are on a special diet and both have different needs for dietary supplements and one is on medication. We were hesitant burdening a friend with daily visits that included feeding wet food, filling automatic food dispensers, fresh water, litter clean up, as well as play and cuddles, so we reached out to Emily. She seems to genuinely care about the wellbeing of animals, and was conscientious about following the instructions for the cats' needs, very communicative, and I appreciated that she reached out with questions while we were gone instead of making assumptions. Emily was great with the cats and sent multiple pictures of their playtime and cuddles each day. I felt at ease while being on vacation and will hire her services again in the future. I would recommend Emily's services to any fellow pet parents :)”
13. Ashley L.
“Ashley was wonderful with Rocky and very dependable. She not only took care of Rocky’s needs, she played with him and made sure he was not feeling lonely. She was excellent about communicating with us. This service is so helpful.”
14. Brad C.
“Brad does a great job for us. He is always prompt and sends us pictures during every visit. Our two 75 lb rowdies were very happy and well cared for. We will definitely continue to use Brad to care for our dogs when we're out of town.”
15. Emily P.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, give meds, and fed their pets. I worked at a vet clinic in high school and gained many skills working with different animals but mainly dogs. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday. I’m free anytime after 5pm in the evenings and on weekends. I’m comfortable doing overnight stays. Your pet and I will spend lots of time outside on walks, in backyards, or playing with their favorite toy. I will treat your pet like it’s my own. If you have specific requirements about crates, leashes, harnesses, or anything else, I’m happy to do them. I want to make your pet comfortable and happy.
16. Chloe B.
“I absolutely love having Chloe come and take care of my Luna. She always does such a good job + Luna just adores her. She is very thorough in communication and updates.”
17. Krystal H.
“Krystal is absolutely amazing! Our dog Nova is scared of all strangers. Krystal was so patient and kind to Nova and was able to gain her trust. I highly recommend Krystal to anyone needing someone to care for their dog!!”
18. Dakota S.
“Dakota is an amazing cat sitter who truly understands feline behavior and needs. My cat can be shy around new people, but Dakota was so gentle and patient that they warmed up quickly. I appreciated the thoughtful updates and how attentive he was to my cat’s routine and preferences. It’s clear Dakota doesn’t just watch pets—he genuinely cares for them. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in his care.”
19. Sara O.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better drop-in sitter for my cats. She truly went above and beyond, especially for my oldest cat who had matted fur. After asking for permission, she removed the matted areas and educated me on maintenance. I can tell how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about them. I am so glad I found Rover and Sara.”
20. Nadine H.
“Nadine came to let my two boys out on Thanksgiving day, I appreciated the fact that she was happy to do it and also said she would come a little earlier as she didn't want them to be too long with out being able to go outside. She was very reliable and made good with my one dog Lewie who is not friendly to strangers. Thank you Nadine and I do hope we can use your services again! Lewie & Tito say thank you for the treats and taking them out for their potty break! Take care, Gail”
