1. Tara S.
“Tara is amazing! She is extremely experienced with dogs and is extremely patient and caring. My dog was extremely nervous the first few times and Tara was so slow and kind with my pup and gained his trust. I feel so comfortable going to work knowing she is stopping in to visit my baby and take him out. Cannot say enough good things!”
2. Jessica F.
“Jessica was an angel, we were so lucky to find her! She went above and beyond, made us feel comfortable, and really eliminated our stress and worry. We’d recommend her to anyone for their little furry loved ones 10/10!”
3. Andrea B.
“Andrea was super kind and communicative, and really patient with our relatively high energy/touch sensitive dog. I really appreciated her taking the time to let me explain her care during our M&G. She sent pictures regularly and played Mizzy's favorite games with her! I'd absolutely book with Andrea again :)”
4. Madeline G.
“Madeline dropped in every day I was out of town and spent time with my cat Kizmet. I was so anxious about leaving for a week but Madeline eased my worries and took great care , keeping me up to date and sending pictures:)”
5. Elizabeth E.
“Elizabeth did a great job watching my three cats during a long weekend away. She was willing to learn how to administer medication for my one cat who needed it. She left everything very tidy and surprised me by taking the garbage to the curb. Thank you!”
6. tori c.
“Tori is wonderful, we had to find a dog sitter very last minute and she made the whole process incredibly simple. Our plans changed at the last minute and although she didn't end up stopping in due to changes on our side I'm most confident she'd be the person you'd want to watch over your fur ones!”
7. Brianna J.
“Brianna is just wonderful. She took great care of my two kitties. She is kind, patient and very communicative. I have a very shy kitty and she warmed up to Brianna quickly. I had peace of mind while I was away and completely trust her in my home. Thank you Brianna for taking such good care of my kitties!”
8. Gina G.
“Gina was AMAZING! She watched our cats over the blizzard Christmas weekend, and went out of her way to make sure our boys were still very well taken care of even despite difficult travel, etc. She somehow managed to figure out (without us telling her) that our one cat loved bubbles, and that made us so happy to know she tried different toys and put effort into her time with them. Because travel was delayed and difficult, she kept a very open line of communication and was very quick to respond to our worries about the storm, made sure we still had heat, etc. Can't recommend her enough!”
9. Karlyn M.
“An amazing sitter! She went above and beyond for us. So thankful for her and being able to drop in last minute for us. I would recommend to anyone. She handled our crazy pups so well.”
10. Gabby P.
“Very pleased with Gabby’s care of my pups. She was accommodating, easy to communicate and on time. Will look forward to asking her help again soon , 5 stars!”
11. Michelle B.
“Michelle did an absolutely phenomenal job! She was extremely responsive & communicative -- the many photos she sent each visit made it very clear that our babies felt safe and comfortable with her. She followed instructions perfectly and left everything tidy for our return. I couldn't be happier that I've found a forever sitter for my babies! I highly recommend Michelle and rate the overall service with Rover as excellent. Thank you! 😻😻😻”
12. Mary P.
“Mary was very understanding and patient with my pets giving them the space they needed to warm up to her and then become happy and excited when she visited. I am so thankful for this and would gladly recommend her to others!”
13. Claudia C.
“Claudia was very communicative and easy to work with. We have a last minute trip out of town and she was super willing and flexible when we needed a sitter for our cat. Definitely will be using her again!”
14. Allen S.
“Allen has cared for my dog while I am out of town many times. He is always very attentive and does as much or as little as my dog wants to do, whether it is a lazy day staying inside when weather isn’t great, or going to the dog park or on long walks on nice days! He always sends updates and pictures and I know I can trust him to treat my dog like she is his own. Not to mention, his dog Bean is the friendliest dog I’ve ever met which is a huge plus since my dog can be a bit testy sometimes. I would highly recommend Allen to care for your pet.”
15. Heather C.
“Heather has done an amazing job with our two cats. We’re so grateful to have found such an amazing and reliable sitter who clearly loves animals. She goes above and beyond every time and I’d recommend her services to anyone!”
16. Marine C.
“I requested Marine to check in on my two cats while I was away on vacation, and I couldn't be happier with her service! From start to finish, the communication was excellent, giving me peace of mind knowing my fur-babes were in great hands. She not only made sure they were well-fed but also took the time to play with them and give cuddles, keeping them happy and entertained. I received regular updates, including multiple photos on each visit! It's clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. I will definitely be requesting her again! Highly recommended!”
17. Kasey K.
“I’ve known Kasey for 4 years now and have seen her interact with several dogs. She has such a kind, gentle, and patient touch with them all. She is also very active and enjoys walking dogs so I think she would be a perfect fit”
18. Melissa W.
“Melissa's care and compassion for pets is unmeasurable. She's always going above and beyond what many pet owners provide for their animals. She's the best.”
19. Cora B.
“Cora stayed at our house for a weekend to care for our dog and bunny. Our dog is somewhat skittish and Cora did a wonderful job keeping her company and taking care of both animals. She is very responsible. I would trust her in my home anytime and highly recommend her!!”
20. Kiana P.
“Kiana has grown up loving all animals, especially German shepherds , which she has had six of over the years. Kiana is fun,energetic and trustworthy .”
