21. Kimberly T.

“Kimberly always brings compassionate care when taking care of our fur baby. She understands how much it means to us to leave our dog behind in the best hands possible.”


22. Jessie F.
“Hi guys! I've personally have known Jessie for over 6 years now. Let's be honest, one of the main reasons she maintained a relationship with me is because I have a dog! - Rottweiler (10 years old) During this time Jessie has graduated from school with a 4-year degree in animal care while maintaining a 40hr work week working with dogs. Each night, she comes home to 3 dogs of her own. I have had family ask her on a weekly basis for advice with their own floofs. I have had co-workers request her to do their dog's grooming. I'm 100% certain my Rottie loves her more than she loves me now 🥺💔. Jessie is the ultimate Mom figure when it comes to our furry loved ones. She treats them as they are her kids and knows when to be stern when they get out of line.”


23. Ariana B.

“Ariana truly went above and beyond for Leo! She was incredibly attentive to his needs and kept us updated throughout the weekend. I felt completely at ease knowing she was checking in on our cat. We will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!”


24. Maria F.


“Maria is absolutely wonderful! We’ve used her more than once and have been happy both times! She always sends pictures and updates which helps when you’re missing your fur babe. She is flexible with times and I will 100% rebook with her. 10/10, fives stars, we love Maria!”


25. Ryan S.
“Ryan has watched my dogs (Spike and Indie Anna) a few times now. We have 2 medium breed dogs and Ryan treats them like they are his own! My dogs are always excited when Ryan comes back to stay at our house with them. He also takes great care of my home while we are gone. We are booking him again for our next vacation to watch our furry babies!”


26. Colleen R.

“Colleen did an amazing job watching our Phoebe. Communication was excellent, she provided great updates and pictures and went above and beyond to care for our dog. She played with her and her various toys and kept her engaged while we were away. I can’t express the benefit that such a peace of mind provided us. We looking forward to working with her again. Thank you, Colleen!”


27. Autumn B.
“If you are looking for someone who will treat your sweet fur baby like family, look no further. She is such a natural with both dogs and cats. She even cared for my special need cat while I was away. She gave me sweet little updates , so I never worried how things were going. Thanks Autumn!”


28. Kristen G.
“Kristen has been walking my large German shepherd 2-3 days per week for me, as I am in my 80’s and she’s too strong for me. My dog returns happy and tired! She also brushes the dog for me as needed. Highly recommended!”


29. Jennifer G.
About: I absolutely love all the dogs!!! I’ve fostered more than 20+ dogs in the past 2 years — all different breeds, sizes, ages, and even some with medical cases. Fostering has given me so much experience and I’m so grateful. Excited to use the experience that I’ve gained to give your dog the best stay with me! I’m home hanging out with my 2 dogs whenever I’m not at work. I do work 3 days a week as a registered nurse. I’m very flexible with my schedule and can help board your pup during the week/weekends! I have 2 dogs of my own. I have an Australian Shepard mix (4 years) and a Siberian Husky (8 years). They get along great with other dogs. I do have a fenced in yard. I’m ok if your dog isn’t crate trained, but I would prefer it only when we’re gone at work. Other than that I’m super easy going and very flexible with whatever your dogs needs are!


30. Rylie B.
“Rylie is one of the most animal loving people I know. During college, she helped to raise my Guiding Eyes for the Blind puppy anytime I needed extra assistance. Having been raised with multiple dogs in her home and having her dog now, there is no one else I would trust more than her. Her current dog is her pride and joy. Rylie is reliable and will love every animal like it’s her own, while making sure your pet is safe and well cared for. Could not recommend her more!”


31. Anestacia S.

“Stacey is AMAZING!! She did such a great job with my dogs while I was gone and she sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew they were good. I would use her again in a heartbeat- best dog sitter ever!!”


32. Jennifer C.
“Jennifer is wonderful with pets and kids! She is very reliable and punctual. Our two dogs, Luna and Kozmo, love her. We have used her many times to stay in our home for weeklong or weekend trips away, or just for a walk and feed if we are gone a long time during the day. I have known her since she was a student of mine in high school, she was very responsible and reliable then and she has become an awesome young adult!”


33. Jamie M.


“Jamie was fantastic! Answered the request for booking right away (which was great because we lost our sitter pretty last minute). She sent us pictures and notes every day. The kitties had so much fun! Thank you so much Jamie!”


34. Dave Z.

“Dave did a last minute drop in which we were sooo appreciative for that! The pups looked like they had some fun and lovin!”


35. Carly K.

“Carly was great at handling all three of my cats! Especially since they are currently not all living together 24/7. I'd book Carly again whenever I need catsitting.”


36. Alivia M.

“Alivia was fantastic with our two dogs! This was our first time using Rover and we could not be more satisfied- Great daily communication! Thank you very much for taking such great care of our pups ❤️”


37. Jillian H.
“I had Jillian watch my Baby Bell. Bell was with Jillian for a week. I was so scared to leave her with anyone. First time away. Jillian made this easy. Bell walked in her house and was let to look around a get acquainted with her surroundings. Jillian put my mind at ease. She let me stay until i was comfortable leaving and after i left she sent me updates and pictures of bell playing and having a great time. When I picked up bell she was happy and well adjusted to being with Jillian. I'm am so happy and pleased with how my Bell was treated and loved while we were gone. Thank you.”


38. Darrean J.

“Darrean was the most amazing pet sitter! She watched my cat for over a week when I was out of town. I’m always so nervous leaving my sweet boy, but Darrean was so communicative, flexible, and attentive that I knew my pet was in the best possible hands! I had a few things that changed while I was out of town (my building turned off water for a few hours, flight was delayed, etc.) and Darrean was so easy to work with to change drop-in times and be flexible with things I couldn’t control! I would 100% recommend Darrean ; for any of your pet care needs!!”


39. Jennifer J.
About: I have grown up having pets and love all kinds of animals! I grew up with an English Springer Spaniel and a Rottweiler/Black Lab mix, and I pet sit my sister's dogs all the time. I work a full time job Monday through Friday, but I’m available evenings and on the weekends to take care of your pets for you! I will keep any pets on leashes (if need be), as well as watching closely to make sure they remain safe. I am very trustworthy in that aspect.


40. Nafisa S.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for roughly 11 years. I love animals more than I do people! I even used to train dogs at the SPCA to help them get adopted. All of my friends finally have dogs and I’m the go to girl whenever they need a hand. I have a pittie that is 9 years old who is sometimes fearful so I’m good with reactive / fearful dogs as well. I’m currently working very consistent daytime hours, always in by 9 & out by 4 so I have time to visit your furbaby in the early mornings and the evenings. Also open availability on weekends to romp around and play all day! I have an occasionally fearful dog so I would not bring your baby to my home but would love to come dog sit at yours. I’ll bring treats and activities and of course lots of love. If your dog has any allergies or special considerations, I’m more than happy to accommodate as best as I can.
