1. Lauren R.

“This was our first time with Lauren. I appreciated her thorough report and the time she spent with my dog. My dog can be shy with strangers but seemed to take to her right away. Very pleased with her care.”




2. Tonya K.
“Tonya was wonderful - took great care of our 2 pups and very responsive with our last minute request! Despite the cold weather she took them on a walk and got them some playtime! Highly recommend, thank you Tonya!”


3. Traci M.

“Traci was reliable and very communicative which we appreciated. We could tell by the photos she sent that our cats loved seeing her everyday!”


4. Julia G.


“Julia did a great job looking after our two cats while we were away! One of our cats is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day so it always makes me nervous to leave him but after meeting Julia, I felt very at ease leaving our kitties with her and due to her prompt updates after each visit didn’t worry for a second while on vacation :)”


5. Jenny L.

“Jenny is an exceptional pet sitter who went above and beyond in caring for my cat, Louie. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals was evident from the moment she started. She sent updates with photos of Louie, showing him looking happy and content. Not only did Jenny follow Louie's feeding schedule meticulously, but she also spent quality time playing with him and giving him the attention he needs. She noticed his favorite spots around the house and made sure to give him scratches and pets just where he likes them. What impressed me most was her conscientiousness. She kept the litter box impeccably clean and even noticed when Louie was being a bit shy and knew exactly how to coax him out with his favorite toys. She left detailed notes about his daily activities, eating habits, and general mood. I returned home to find a happy, well-cared-for cat who clearly had been given lots of love and attention. Jenny's professional yet caring approach gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving pet sitter. She's truly a gem!”

“Booked Valerie on a whim and was very impressed! So communicative and thorough in her experience. Will definitely be asking her to return. My pups love d their time with her and for good reason. It shows that she truly loves animals.”


7. Travis K.

“Travis is fantastic! He was so communicative and sent great, thoughtful updates. My old cats got lots of attention and pets! I can’t recommend Travis enough!”


8. Kea G.

9. Kayla S.


“Kayla was awesome sauce once again! I requested her to take care of kitty on short notice and she came through. We appreciated her flexibility and the quality care she provided for Mila. I can tell she has got love for her, and that brings peace of mind😻. She also followed all my instructions and that was super helpful when I got home. Thanks for your A+ service Kayla, we will keep in contact… especially for our next vacation👍😎”


10. Jessica & Jacob T.

“Jake and Jessica did a great job taking care of our puppies. I think this is the first time we didn't worry about our dog's when we were away because we know they were being taken care of. Thank you Jake and Jessica!”


11. John L.


“I appreciated your pictures while we were away!! Puppies were happy when we returned. Will call John and Rochelle again”


12. Elizabeth O.
“Libby is wonderful with animals. She especially loves dogs. She is responsible and caring of animals. She is a dog owner herself, so she understands the needs of animals in her care.”


13. Angela L.
About: I have a love for health care and a love for animals and would like to be able to blend the two while caring for your pets. I have raised two puppies to become well behaved and well adjusted parts of the family. My last dog is now my Grand dog, and I am looking for some more pup play whatever their age. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule. I am available in both the morning or evening depending on which the day of the week. I am able to care for your pets with a walk, with feeding, with medication as needed, and of course with some companionship while you are away.


14. Daniela A.

“Daniela is an AMAZING pet lover and caretaker. She has watched my now 4-year old cavapoo since she was a puppy and has always done an amazing job. She is super responsive and trustworthy. I would 100% recommend her if you are looking for someone to watch your fur baby :)”


15. Angela P.

“Thank you Angela. I felt so at ease with Angela when I met her and I knew Fiona and Frances were in great hands. Thanks for the pictures. Yes will hire Angela over and over again”


16. Katia M.
“Katia may be new to Rover but I can assure that she's not new to pet sitting! She's my 18 year old next door neighbor, and she's been watching my dogs and cats for YEARS. One of my dogs, Abby, is now 9 years old, but when she was younger, she was a handful. She's a border collie/springer spaniel mix with tons of energy but Katia can handle her with a breeze. Abby can be dog-reactive but Katia can handle this as well. Katia is extremely reliable, dependent, and loves all animals as if they were her own. She'll spend oodles of time with your pets showering them with love. If you want your dog(s) to go for a walk, Katia can handle all three of my dogs at once so I'm confident that she can handle your dogs. If your pets need medication, she knows how to administer them. She's extremely bright and detailed that way. She'll also text pictures and updates so you know that everything is going smoothly at home. Needless to say, I highly recommend Katia M. to watch your dogs and/or cats!”


17. Mark R.

“Mark helped me out last minute. Marley was very happy to see him, even did his famous beg for a treat. Mark was great about letting me know when he stopped by and left. If I ever run into a pinch again, I will definitely reach out to Mark.”


18. Amelia W.

“Amelia was awesome! Very communicative, prompt and our dog loved her!! Highly recommend.”


19. Emilie B.

“Emilie took excellent care of our pups while I was away for a wedding. She sent great pictures and I knew they were getting all the love when we couldn’t be there. Would love to have her back another time!”


20. Heather H.

“We have been working with Heather for about a week so far and it has been going great! She is great with communication and takes wonderful care of our dogs.”
