1. Theresa C.
“This a second review and want to acknowledge what lovely care Theresa took of my 2 dogs. They were extremely happy when we came home and I know they were well cared for in our absence.”
2. Katie N.
“Katie was reliable and accommodating. Came to meet Reo ahead of time which was greatly appreciated Will hire her again”
3. Jeffrey V.
“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”
4. Kira S.
“Kira was absolutely amazing! She took the best care of my pup Jameson and left the house exactly how we left it! She even brought him some treats and sent us updates it was our first time leaving him without family & we couldn’t have had a better experience. She kept us updated on him the entire time & cared for him just as much as we do! We will definitely be booking again for our future trips!”
5. Elsie M.
“Elsie is truly amazing! My dogs and family love her. One of my dog’s had her 1st Birthday while we were away. Elsie got her a cake and celebrated her birthday 🥰🎉🥳She went above and beyond with taking care of our dogs and home. Will definitely be using her again in the future”
6. Vera R.
“Vera did a terrific job with Lasha. She was attentive, responsive, and flexible when we were running late due to a delayed flight. She gave us peace of mind when traveling away from our pup. The house was spotless when we returned. Would highly recommend.”
7. Jessica M.
“We just came back from our first vacation in years and Jessica was a huge reason our trip was great. We have two dogs we care deeply for and boarding them for just a weekend was stressful… and expensive! Our older dog has incredible anxiety every time we leave. So we decided to give Rover a try and we’re very happy we did. We met with a couple of sitters before our trip and Jessica impressed us with her flexibility and professionalism so we asked her to dogsit for the three nights we were away. She was great with our dogs and cared for them the way we wanted. In addition, she sent us pictures and texts with updates on the dogs. She made a great impression and completely sold us on Rover. I now feel confident that we can take more relaxing vacations knowing how well she took care of our dogs! I couldn’t have asked for more.”
8. Eve S.
“Eve was very friendly and calm. My dog Doris was happy”
9. Christine A.
“Christine bailed us out at the last minute and totally saved us. She was just great, and I think our cats even decided they like her better than they like us. Couldn't be happier that we have made this connection.”
10. Sabrina W.
“Sabrina was caring and attentive to our senior dog. She sent updates and made us feel comfortable leaving her with someone new. I would book her again.”
11. Caroline M.
About: I’ve been walking and dog sitting since I was 16, so I’ve had plenty of time to build a strong understanding of pet care, behavior, and what it takes to ensure pets feel safe and comfortable when their owners are away. I’m passionate about animals and love spending time with them, whether it’s playing, walking, or simply offering them companionship. I go to school part time, so I have a lot of free time! On Tuesday and Wednesday I have class from nine to five. I live in a pet-free townhouse, providing a quiet and peaceful environment where your dog will feel comfortable and at home. I focus on creating a safe, relaxing space with plenty of attention and care, whether your dog is staying with me or I’m looking after them in your home.
12. Leah M.
“Leah was wonderful! She was very responsive and we felt very comfortable leaving our girl with her. Millie had a great time. We highly recommend Leah!”
13. Owen B.
“Owen is an excellent pet sitter. My dog and cats fell in love with him right away! He kept in great communication with me throughout the time he was pet sitting which helped me relax and be at ease during my vacation knowing my pets were in good hands. I would highly recommend him.”
14. Rosemary & Michael W.
“Rosary has been a life saver. My husband is sick and she has been very flexible and helping with whatever is needed. Today she spent the entire day with our toy poodle Georgy while we made our bi-monthly pilgrimage to my husbands doctor. He is 1.5 hours away so it’s a long day. Georgy was completely happy and tired when we got home. She is 8 months so tiring her out takes a lot of play time. I would highly recommend Rosemary.”
15. Melissa N.
“Melissa was incredible. Amazing communication and took on more than she probably needed to. I highly recommend.”
16. Eileen B.
“Eileen is an exceptional pet sitter and animal lover, who shows an extraordinary level of care and responsibility. Her ability to provide attentive and nurturing environments, especially for pets with illnesses or disabilities, is remarkable. Our pup Dingo lives with extreme arthritis. Eileen is super attentive on his routines and drug regimes. She also has experience in therapeutic pet massage, a skill she uses on Dingo to make his stays even more happy and comfortable. We have complete trust in Eileen’s ability to provide the highest quality love and care for our pup and highly recommend her.”
17. lauren f.
“Lauren was wonderful with my three dogs while I was on a work trip. The timing was not ideal because I had moved only days prior. I was worried the dogs would be nervous and anxious in a new place without me home. Thanks to Lauren they settled in nicely. She made them feel loved and comfortable until I returned. Additionally, she made me feel ok with it by sending photos and updates each day to reduce my concerns. I highly recommend using Lauren as a petsitter! She will go above and beyond to make sure your animals are well cared for, safe, and happy while you are away.”
18. Erika V.
“Can’t say enough good things about Erika! She took excellent care of my two daschunds in my home for two weeks while was traveling and I can’t wait to hire her again when needed. It was a last minute emergency booking and it couldn’t have worked out better. I felt the dogs were safe and cared for and she communicated so well and so often. It was perfect. She was a life changing dream.”
19. Živilė H.
“Zivile is so kind and loving to our dogs. They had the best time with her and I will definitely use her again in the future.”
20. Samantha & Michael M.
“I could not thank Michael and Samantha enough for taking such good care of our dog. She was so happy and relaxed with them. They are definitely number one on my list for the next time we need our dog taken care of again!”
