1. Fawn B.


“Fawn was amazing. Our dog had some serious health issues while we were gone & she handled it very well. Great communication & she was pretty unflappable about it all, which helped us feel at ease. I would totally book her again!”


2. Sidney R.

“Sidney was awesome! She was very flexible with the pre-visit. She asked great questions and took good notes. She was PERFECT for our anxious Spanish Water Dog - Molly. She did ALL the things Molly loves - played with squeaky toys, long walks, car rides, pup cups, snuggling and so much more. I would definitely recommend her, hands down! She took great care of our home, checked in with us daily with pictures and kept us in the loop. We have already booked her for the next visit!”


3. Cedar A.

“She was fantastic! Did a house sit for my cat on short notice and was very communicative and sent a ton of photos. Took care of litter, ensured my cat was fed and was overall very attentive. I highly highly recommend!!!”


4. Maegan R.
About: I have my own dog at home who I have grown up with. I have also grown up taking care of neighborhood dogs and my uncles dogs who I have taken care of since they were puppies. I have also taken care of many of my neighbors cats and other various pets. I am currently a full time student technically but I have a lot of open times that I would love to come hang out with some pets who just need some extra loving or taking care of. This also helps me have a break from life and focus on just spending quality time with some pets who are fun to be around. I always put the pet first. I make sure I remember times I went over or left and how long I have stayed at a residence so they have enough time outside of kennels or for play time. I want the pets to feel like they can be calm and chill or be crazy and I’ll play with them or walk them when they just need some energy out.


5. Landon A.
“I swear there is not a pet out there that doesn’t like Landon. They are always so quick to trust him and he loves them just as much if not more. He dog & cat sits for his grandma and brother often and I would trust him and recommend him to anyone!”


6. Alyssa M.

“Alyssa is absolutely amazing. She did a TERRIFIC job caring for my dog when I couldn’t bring her home for the holidays, and adjusted well when I had to change up my departure schedule. 100000/10 would recommend!”


7. Rose T.

“Absolutely love Rose! I just got home from a week long trip in Mexico, while she loved on my high maintenance boxer boy all week long. I think he was a little disappointed it was me coming home instead of Rose walking through the door! Lol. She’s the sweetest, most thoughtful human ever! Will recommend to absolutely everyone! Thank you again!”


8. Jeanette R.

“Jeanette is a gem! My pups were so well-loved and taken care of! She played with my big dogs and gave them lots of cuddles. She gave one of my dogs their medicine perfectly! The house was cleaner than when we left too! Love her soooo much!”


9. Morganne M.


“Morganne was great! Gave plenty of updates and lots of pictures. The dogs were well taken care of. We will most definitely use her in the future!”

11. Sierra L.

“Sierra was wonderful. She sent regular updates, asked questions when she was unsure, and left our home as clean as we left it. Sierra even picked up a large outdoor plant that was knocked over during severe wind. I have already booked her for another pet sitting job next month and would recommend her to anyone!”


12. Emma V.
“Emma is such a caring person that loves all furry friends. She was able to take care of our very stubborn dog and sassy cat, and that’s no easy task. Emma is a very trustworthy person to watch your furry loved ones!”




13. Ian R.

“Ian did a wonderful job with house sitting and taking care of my cat. He was very attentive, sent photos and kept me updated. I highly recommend Ian for house sitting and pet care.”


14. Jaxson K.

“Jaxson was great with our dogs, who can be picky about people. They took to him right away because he was very gentle and didn't make hard eye-contact. He took excellent care of the the dogs, who were in great shape when we returned. He even ran with them. He was very responsive to questions and kept us updated us about the dogs. He stayed at the house, which was exactly as we had left it when we returned. I recommend Jaxson highly, especially if you have dogs who need a calm, gentle presence.”


15. Angela B.

“Angie was an amazing dog sitter for us!! She watched our dog, Rosie, and my brother in law’s dog, Kenobi, in our home when we were on vacation for 4 days. Angie came to our house prior to the sit for a proper meet and greet with the pups. It was clear how experienced she is around pets and the pups loved her immediately. Our dog Rosie is on a special diet which was no issue when we were away. Angie kept great communication and gave us daily updates with pictures of the dogs. I would highly recommend Angie!!”


16. Abbigayle V.

“This was our first time having Abbey stay with our dogs while we were out for the week. She took excellent care of our three dogs who can be a lot! I had complete confidence in her as it is clear she is a dog lover and the dogs loved her, too. It was so nice to not have to worry about anything and to come home to a completely clean house! We will definitely reach out to Abbey to stay with the dogs again.”


17. Makenna B.
“Wanted to take my family out of town for the weekend and Makenna took care of my dog Harley and my three cats misty stormy and Luna. They were all well taken care of she updated me via text and FaceTime adding extra piece of mind. Rover would be adding a five star care giver of animals as well as people. Care like hers is a rarity in this day and age. So don’t pass up this Pet Caregiver to add to the team at Rover”


18. Lauren W.

“Lauren was fabulous, sent us updates with pictures multiple times a day and was very conscientious of our pups' needs. Our dogs even seemed to look for her before greeting us when we got back! We would love to use her again!”


19. Hallie O.
“Hallie is such a caring human to being with and once she is around a dog of any kind her heart melts and all she wants to do is make the pups tag wag as fast as it can! She is such a sweet person and can handled dogs very well of any size and age!”


20. Shelby S.
“It is a pleasure to recommend Shelby as a pet sitter. She has cared for our cat, Buddy Holly, a number of times. He is 12 years old and usually hides when someone visits our home. When Shelby arrives he runs toward her. She is reliable and can be counted on to take care of our beloved pet.”
