Our house was immaculate upon returning and Larry was happy as can be. She communicated well throughout. I must tell you - we have never been as impressed and happy with a dog sitter as we were with Erika. She is a gem!!! I am also happy to be a reference if you are looking to book with her. Thank you Erika!!!!!”

9. Bradey S.

“Bradey is hands-down the BEST dog sitter. She took such great care of my two rescues I recently adopted during Thanksgiving and I was able to thoroughly enjoy my 3 days of vacation because I knew my pups were well cared for from all of her updates and photos. I was hesitant to use Rover after multiple friends’ horror stories but Bradey was a literal god send and I am so grateful I trusted her with my dogs. She always came early to her check-ins and spent over the agreed-upon hour to ensure my dogs got all of the love. They got long walks, fun play time with toys, and the best belly rubs and pets. I always received photos of the dogs and walking routes, recaps on how the visit went, and confirmation of requested tasks completed. She is a great communicator, follows directions in a detailed manner, and a huge dog lover. Highly recommend her for any dog needs you may have as she is very responsible, caring, and goes above and beyond to treat your pets as if they were her own family.”


10. Taylor C.

“Taylor was fast to respond and incredibly accomodating on very short notice! She was very sweet with my kitties and reliable and responsible. I'll definitely be using her again and referring her to my friends in need of pet care.”


11. Anna M.

“Anna took great care of our fur babies (2 dogs and a cat) while we were away for 5 days. Our dogs needed medication and one of them needs ear drops and she handled that without an issue. Our pets seemed happy and well cared for while we were gone. Anna was great about sending us updates and photos too which helped put our minds at ease while we were away.”




12. Joshua G.


“I was a little nervous as this was the first time we used Rover for an overnight stay. But we had a great experience and I would definitely use Josh again. He was very communicative and sent us daily updates and videos of our pups. Our house and pups were in great shape when we got home.”

I have witnessed the reassuring calm and love she shares with others pets. They feel her spirit and reciprocate her infectious mannerisms. I highly recommend Donna and you will be forever grateful knowing that a loving caring devoted fun lady is always there….soul and spirit.”

19. Hsin C.
“Sheila is the god dog of Hachi, our 4 year old Labradoodle. She has been watching Hachi since he was a puppy and anytime we go on vacation we have peace of mind that Hachi is having fun. Every time Hachi sees Sheila he gets excited as if she is one of her pawrent :). She takes good care of Hachi, also ensures that he is well fed, sometimes when meds are needed then they are taken on time and also lots of play at the park. I highly highly recommend Sheila for rover”
