“Becky did an amazing job looking after my cats while I was out of town. My cat that hides from everyone came right out for her. I highly recommend.”


3. Brooke S.

“Brooke was amazing with our two cats while my partner and I were on a conference trip! I couldn’t be happier about how well taken care of the cats were and how much of an anxiety relief it was to know they were in the best hands. She followed all care instructions perfectly during check ins and provided the cutest pictures and updates daily. It was also so helpful for her to meet with us and the cats before booking. This was my first time using Rover and I seriously cannot recommend Brooke enough. She’s the best!”

7. Megan M.

“Megan was the best pet-sitter! Our two cats are SO suspicious & never come out for strangers & Megan consistently saw them & they even started being friendly to her towards the end. We were amazed! She was also wonderful with the two friendly stray cats we brought inside to keep safe during vacation. I highly recommend Megan! She is kind, consistent, very thorough, and you can definitely tell she cares about your animals while you are gone! :)”

14. Taylor M.
About: I have 2 labs back at my home in Massachusetts. They are 9 and 7 so I have been taking care of them for a good amount of time. I have also watched dogs for many friends whether it was staying at their house or taking them for walks. I’m currently a Sophomore at UTK so I am available in between and after classes to watch after your dogs whenever you need me to! I live in an apartment that is pet friendly and has a grass area to accommodate that. Whether it’s at my apartment or at a clients home, I watch out for the safety of all dogs around.


15. Ellen K.
“Ellen has cared for my pets, a dog and cat, on multiple occasions over the past few years. My cat is older and has some special needs and Ellen truly listened to me and asked specific questions to ensure she had a good understanding to accommodate her needs. She is so patient and gentle with both of my “babies”, she truly has a way with them and I can see the love they have for her based on their reaction whenever she has come by. I don’t trust my animals with many people, but I would never hesitate to entrust them to Ellen. I know they are being well cared for in my absence.”


16. Addie W.

“Fantastic! Really helped me out and sent great pics of Caspian :)”


17. Madison P.

18. Peyton P.

“Peyton was an amazing sitter!! This was our first time using Rover, and she made it worth it. She responded to our request quickly, and during the booking, she arrived promptly and communicated with us every step of the way. She updated us, sent pictures, and played and snuggled with our sweet boy. If I could give 6 starts I would!! Thanks again Peyton!”


19. taylor s.
“Taylor was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, Jema and Joey. She walked them, took great care of them per our instructions, and they just loved Taylor. Joey needed some extra care because he was post op from a cancer resection surgery. We had very specific instructions for him and she did great. We would definitely book her again if he adopt any new dogs.”


20. Skylar P.
