“Dee was amazing. I was super nervous leaving my senior dog and two cats for a full week, especially since this was our first time working together, but Dee totally delivered. JP, my dog, was smiling in every single photo, and it was clear he felt safe, cozy, and loved. Even my weirdo, suspicious cats warmed up to her, which honestly says a lot, lol. Dee just has that intuitive energy that animals naturally gravitate toward. She followed my care instructions, kept in touch, and made sure everyone was well fed, loved on, and relaxed. I came home to happy, healthy pets, and that’s really all I could ask for. She gives off the vibe of a passionate, animal loving 20-something who genuinely enjoys what she does. While she’s not buttoned up in that overly corporate way (which, let’s be real, is exactly why I use Rover—to support real people who actually spend time and energy on your pets), the level of care she provides is next level. You’re just not going to get that kind of attentiveness at one of those doggy daycare boxes. Dee is very sweet, incredibly responsible, super responsive, and truly locked in with your pets. I’ll absolutely be booking her again.”
“Paola was an outstanding pet sitter for our (anxious) dog. She went out of her way to care for her, treating a problem area and working with us intensely to find the best solutions. I cannot say enough heartfelt good things about Paola.”
“Lilly-Christina was truly amazing! Her communication is top tier! Truly amazing. I was comforted getting all the pics shared of Gizmo while I was away. She was very flexible with scheduling which I really appreciate. Gizmo and I will definitely look to her for future pet sitting needs. Thank you Lilly-Christina!”

“Asha did a great job taking care of my cat Shiro! We had her do overnight in home care taking and she did an amazing job. Followed all instructions to the T, kept my place tidy and Shiro was well cared for. He takes his time getting used to new pet sitters however he did end up cuddling with Asha near the end of her visit. She also kept me regularly updated with pictures and a quick summary!”
“Chandler did a fantastic job watching our Maltipoo at our home while we were on vacation. She was with him for 11 nights. As others have mentioned, she leaves the house better than how we left it. I am a helicopter dog mom and I asked for lots of photos and updates before we left and she delivered. She is also witty and takes the best photos and provides g funny updates. We would use her again and again. .”

Dwayne D.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Dwayne as a pet sitter. He cared for our beloved Bernedoodle and cat while we were away in France for a month, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, it was clear that Dwayne is a true animal lover. Our pets were not only well cared for, but also clearly happy and loved throughout our absence. Dwayne and his partner were excellent communicators—sending regular updates and photos that reassured us our furry family members were in great hands. It was such a comfort to see them relaxed, playful, and content. We returned home to a clean, tidy house and two joyful pets, which speaks volumes about Dwayne’s conscientiousness and care. Knowing he was looking after our home and animals gave us peace of mind during our travels. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask him again and feel lucky to have found someone so reliable, kind, and attentive.”
