“100% Happy with our first Rover experience..Marty was wonderful and my pets loved her..Definitely will be using this service and Marty again..”


2. Deja S.

“Deja was truly so wonderful with our dog and cat for our extended trip out of town. This was their first experience with a sitter and we could tell how happy both of them were under Deja’s care. It made our trip so much easier knowing they were being well taken care of. Our dog can get pretty reactive with certain triggers and Deja did an amazing job handling that and making sure they were properly accustomed to each other beforehand. She was super attentive to detail and provided consistent updates and photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies!!!”


3. Joey S.

“Joey was fabulous! We set up a pre setting visit, and our dogs were immediately smitten with Joey! That set the stage for an amazing engagement with Joey. He sent daily updates and the cutest photos with clever & funny comments! Joey is a natural with dogs & we would highly recommend him!!!”


4. Daniel H.

“Daniel was fantastic with our 8 month old chihuahua. Daniel sent photos and updates on our pup often. He was courteous and respectful of our home while we were gone. Our dog was clearly tired when we got home, which showed that Daniel played and spent a lot of time with him. I would definitely recommend Daniel as your next dog sitter!”


5. Catie C.

“Catie was wonderful with our two very energetic Dobermans! She communicated with us throughout the night when she stayed with our pups and shared lots of pictures which we loved! The house was left clean and our dogs were left happy. Thank you, Catie!”

“Kayligh is reliable, trustworthy and remembered all the little details we provided about feeding and walking our dogs, when to give which treats, etc. She sent us multiple updates during our trip along with pics. We highly recommend her services!”




9. Melissa O.
“Melissa has been amazing with animals since she was a young girl. Many times while in vacation I felt fortunate to have her as a neighbor to keep track of our beloved pets. From my daughter’s little critters like hamsters and even rats to our Family Great Danes she has always just taken such good care of them while we are away. She even took a friends Quaker parrot for a week while she went on vacation and did a great job with him. I highly recommend Melissa , and know she can handle the care of most any pet.”


10. Veronica N.
About: I have experience with almost every kind of animal including various sized dogs, from a 100 pound mastiff Rottweiler mix to my own little French bulldog mix, I’ve seen all sizes and had experience with basic training all of them. I do not work on the weekends so I am at home with my own dogs and would love to be able to give people the ability to leave and not have to worry about their dog for the weekend, knowing they are being taken very well care of in my home. I also have a flexible hybrid work schedule during the week and spend 2-3 work week days at home with the dogs all day and stop home on lunch any days I am not there all day. I live on a horse farm, we have a large side yard that is fenced in on two sides, I take my own dogs out on leads/leashes to run and play a few times a day. We have lots of space and lots of trails within a 5 minute drive that I bring my dogs to all the time!


11. Rich M.

“Rich was really flexible and nice enough to stay with our dogs for a full day. Haylee our German Shepherd and Aussie mix really like Rich. We will definitely use him again. He showed a lot of caring due to asking things. He was also willing to watch Sparky too (may have been new to disc problems) and handled it well. We will definitely request Rich again!”


12. Elizabeth D.
About: I’ve grown up with animals my whole life including 3 dogs(Black lab, yorkshire terrier, and husky) and have dogsat/taken care of 4 of friends and family members (pit bull mix, 2 labs, and a german shepard/husky mix). With all of them I either stayed there during the day or stopped in throughout the day. Im currently not in school and am looking into real estate where i can take an online course. I also waitress mostly friday nights, saturday nights, and sunday nights(occasionally doubles). Other than that im free for a majority of the week!😁 When I was still living back home I was able to care for our outdoor cat and her kittens, my dog while he was sick (sadly he has passed), and even baby raccoons!


13. Emmett M.
“Emmett has a way with animals. He stayed with my dogs while I was out of town and my girls loved him. He is calm, patient, and gentle in his care. I highly recommend him as a sitter!”


14. Maribeth D.
“Maribeth is such a compassionate two-legged person who adores any four-legged dogs, especially my Schnoodle dog, Snickerdoodle (aka Snickers). She gave a lot of attention to her by taking her out for a walk during breaks from work, bringing her to different dog parks, and giving her countless cuddles. While my family and I were away on vacations, she kept us updated on Snickers with photos. We were elated knowing that our dog who had separation anxiety was in good hands. My family and I couldn't ask for any better pet caregiver than Maribeth. We were blessed to have her in our lives, and we still wish she lives closer to us.”


15. Vicki B.

“Vicki is a God send! Reliable, responsible, courteous and absolutely wonderful with my two dogs. I have utilized Vicki for both drop in visits and overnight stays, which have ranged from weekend stays to full week stays. Vicki is great with open communication and provides regular updates, including photos. She is also very flexible with her schedule and answers reservation requests within 24 hours. I would highly recommend this pet sitter! A+++”


16. Emma R.
About: Ive taken care of and watched animals for the last 10 years, wide range of experience working with pocket pets, small animals, and large animals . I am currently available anytime any-day of the week. Looking into getting a part time job as well if i cant watch animals full time. I enjoy continuing the pets normal schedule as much as possible, I will stick to usual feeding times/potty breaks/walks as the owner describes, I never want to cause extra stress to any animal when they’re loved ones are already not there.


17. Jaime A.

“She does a great job and our dogs love her! Would absolutely recommend!”


18. Allissa M.
“Allissa is a very responsible and trustworthy person who loves and cares for any animal that comes into her care. She allows for a very calm and nurturing environment for animals to get to know and trust her, opening up a playful and loving relationship. She has watched my 4 high energy dogs on numerous occasions, sending me picture updates of my dogs happy and playing. I know when I am away my dogs are in good hands.”


19. Amena B.

“Amena was very thoughtful and attentive watching our two kittens over night. They were very comfortable with her, and she left our place very clean and tidy. She even left some small gifts for our kitties we found on returning home. We strongly recommend Amena to anyone looking for such a responsible and kind person to take care of their pets.”


20. Sharon M.
About: I have been working in the animal industry my whole life. Through the years I have done rescue for domestic animals and wildlife. I also volunteered for the SPCA Law enforcement to protect animals in need. I still volunteer my time for worthy animal causes when I can. With my vast experience, I will care for your pet like they were my own. Special note for overnight stays. We provide almost overnight which is 2 hours in the evening and 1 hour in the am. We can also work out more time if needed and will change prices accordingly. We do not sleep overnight at clients' homes as stated in rates due to full drop-in and walking schedules. Thank you. Our visits range currently early am and after 5:30 pm. **Special note** Meet and greets are free and required before accepting any booking. They keep our sitters safe and customers happy with our services. Thank you for your understanding. My schedule is pretty flexible weekdays and weekends. The app will always be updated to the current schedule. If in doubt drop me a message! In clients home I like to keep to their schedule that they are used to with you to make them feel comfortable. Anything that will make them feel better or less anxious let me know and I will be happy to implement.
