“Beck went above and beyond for our girls. She was punctual, professional and spent extra time hanging out and playing with our dogs. She took plenty of pictures, and even offered to come back the same day when our trip home was delayed. She's quick to text back and educated us on how Rover works for us amateurs. Will definitely book with her again”
“Meghan was great with my cats. Even Beans, who hides from everyone but me, found himself rolling over for belly rubs from Meghan. Highly recommend her and would definitely request her services again!”
“Grace was awesome! She was so helpful with toby, always sending me picture updates of her drop in with Toby. I will definitely be reaching out to her again with any help I need with Toby:-)”
“Laura was so great! She responded to a last minute request quickly, came to meet my gang the next morning and provided plenty of photos during her drop in that evening... (which I LOVED seeing after a long day on a work trip). ❤️”
“Amy is amazing! She took such good care of my cat while I was away. She always does. I came back to a calm, cuddly, healthy baby and I can never thank Amy enough for that. She’s the best!”
“Cathy Jo did a great job taking care of my furbabies while we were away for my son's wedding out of state. And she had her hands full with 2 dogs (Otis and Cricket) and 2 cats (Jinx and Meatball) although Jinx hid from her after the first visit. She gave us an update and photos after each visit and was very responsive whenever I contacted her with questions, both before and during the time of service. Everyone was just settling in to their routine with Cathy Jo just about the time we returned home, but I could tell they definitely enjoyed having someone come by to give them the needed attention while we were away.”
“Katharine is so easy to work with. She is always on time and gives great updates and pics. She is always happy to help watch my puppy who can be crazy sometimes. We will definitely continue to book Katharine!”
“Five-star as always. I know we are leaving our cat in good hands with Kristina. He has a heart condition and has to have two medications every day, which Kristina faithfully administers when we are away. I continue to contact Kristina whenever we need a sitter. She is top-notch.”
“Alyssa has been great for taking care of our dogs Finley and Poe. She provides regular updates/pictures, and records the time she spends with them to make you feel comfortable that your dogs are receiving the attention that they need. Highly recommend!”
“Once again, Steven stepped up when the unexpected happened! I failed to provide the alarm access - and he had to deal with that ALARM sounding and the impact on the kitties. He is always calm and handles all issues with professionalism. Thanks (again!), Steven!”
“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”
“Holland was amazing! She was reliable, communicative, and clearly great with my dogs. I loved getting updates and photos after each visit—it gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy and well cared for, and I’ve already rebooked with her. Highly recommend!”
“Korri was awesome! She did drop in visits for our two cats while we were gone and she sent pictures daily. The cats really seemed to warm up to her so that relieving. She was super responsive and really made me feel comfortable from the beginning. I will definitely use her in the future and I highly recommend.”
“Did an amazing job with our two trouble makers. They definitely loved Farrah so much. Felt so comfortable with how happy they were. Definitely going to be my sitter from now on.”
“Erin was such a reliable and attentive cat sitter! I was relieved to see her details and specifics of the boys behavior with drop in visit notes. It helped me know my boys were in great hands. Thank you again Erin!!!!”
“Linsey was super communicative and gave lots of attention to our two kitties over the Thanksgiving holiday. She kept an eye on things for us and kept us informed about the pets. We would highly recommend and will plan to utilize her services again in the future!”
“Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking care of my two babies. You were so kind, attentive, and kept great communication the whole time. I really appreciate it and will definitely recommend Ashley, she was wonderful!”

Meghan was great with my cats and dogs. She was very professional and took notes at our meet and greet. She didn't have to ask any questions while caring for my pets. She also didn't send an overabundance of pictures, usually just one picture of each animal.
I never hesitate to leave my cat in Kristina's care. He has a heart condition and takes two medications daily. I can always count on Kristina being there. She takes care of everything he needs (pills, food, water, litter box), and provides the petting that he loves, during her visits. You won't regret hiring Kristina!
This was our first time using Cole as our dog walker, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind, reliable, and took wonderful care of our doggos. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.
