“Highly recommend Kristy! Booked for drop-in with less than a weeks notice & Kristy replied promptly and cheerfully. Professional, very kind, trustworthy and my pup absolutely adored her. He looked so happy in all her sweet photos. Was our first time with Kristy and we’re looking forward soon to our next booking!”


2. Corinne V.

“Corinne provided excellent care and affection for our very shy cat. Amelie typically does not interact with our sitters but Corinne's calm and gentle nature won her over. Corinne is communicative and provided daily updates and photos. We highly recommend Corinne.”


3. Lieren J.

About: I adopted my senior dog, Bailey, when she was 9, and she’s now 13. We’ve built an unbreakable bond, and I’m experienced in giving her the care and attention senior dogs need. I also adopted Tahoe as a puppy at 8 weeks old and successfully potty trained him, so I’m well-versed in both puppy and senior care. Whether it's gentle exercise, administering medication, or simply providing companionship, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved every day! While I attend school, my schedule is flexible, and I’m available to care for pets outside of my classes. I make sure to balance my studies with plenty of time for walks, play, and cuddles with the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or just some quality time with your furry friend, I’m happy to adjust my routine to fit their needs and ensure they receive the attention they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize creating a routine that feels familiar to your pet. I follow your instructions for feeding, walking, and playtime, while providing lots of love and attention. I also make sure to keep your home safe and tidy, respecting your space while making sure your pet gets all the care they need. Whether it's keeping them company, maintaining their schedule, or offering extra cuddles, your pet will be in good hands.


5. Bonnie S.

“Bonnie was an incredible last minute resource for a Christmas party staycation. She responded quickly, read over the house instructions thoroughly, and showed up in a timely manner. Great communication- we’ll definitely hire her again.”


6. Jordan D.


“Jordan is amazing! Very thoughtful dog sitter and you can tell he enjoys it. He watched our puppy Blue for a few hours while we were at work and sent us updates on how he was doing. Definitely recommend him! Already booked him again!”


7. Sarah K.

“Consistent communication, mishap on my part and she worked around it to make sure my boy was taken care of. Always cheerful and happy to come out check up on chief. 10/10 will request again.”


8. Grace P.

“Grace jumped in when another Rover cancelled last minute. She was communicative, reliable, and sweet to my pup Mila. It was such a relief. I will absolutely book with Grace again!”


9. Chelsey C.

“Chelsey is amazing!! Whenever I am away I feel at ease knowing my baby is safe. She is so communicative, flexible with availability, and gets along great with my anxious/antisocial cat. She always sends me photos of them loving on each other and fulfills all requests, no matter how specific! I’ve booked with Chelsey twice and will continue to book with her when I go out of town!”


10. Kira V.

“We really appreciated Kira taking care of our boy while we were out of town. With her help, we were able to have a worry-free trip while receiving daily updates on how he was doing.”


11. Brianna C.

“Brianna took fabulous care of my three boys! 🐈🐈🐈”


12. Christopher S.
“Chris has watched both our Australian Shepherd and German Shepherd. He is great with them, always cautious of their allergies, and sends pictures sometimes for updates. I can't recall us doing anything overnight, but we used to leave our Aussie at his place daily while we were at work. Definitely recommend!”


13. Tayler M.
About: I have done overnight pet care for years working with my mom’s side business doing this. Would take the dogs out if she wasn’t able to. I have more experience with cats but am comfortable around all dogs and would love the experience as I want a career doing dog care and cat care. I am currently open availability but rely on a ride as I just recently moved into the area and don’t have my own car. Because of that I would only be available in the mornings mostly until I can get my own vehicle. I would follow any instructions you have given or rules that I need to be aware of to follow regarding your dog. I would just pay extra attention until I felt more comfortable with them and knew their personality better and how they behaved.


14. Melissa L.

“Melissa was great with our dogs - they love her!”


15. Shannon R.

“Shannon did a terrific job taking care of our cats while we were away. She went above and beyond and we will definitely use her services again.”


16. Rachel W.


“Rachel we awesome! She helped me out of a pinch and was able to do a drop in for me last minute. She played fetch with my little guy and gave him good attention! Very happy with her communication and all went wonderful!”


17. Alexis G.
“I trust Alexis any time I need someone to take care of our pup! We have a very active black lab and she gets so excited when we tell her we are going to Alexis’ for playtime. She cares for dogs as if they were her own and I can’t recommend her enough!”


18. Erin K.

“Erin is excellent at taking care of cats. Every time she comes to my house, my cat eagerly waits for her, hoping to be petted, and even sits on her lap. She left me detailed and heartfelt message about how my cats were doing that day . I completely trust her to look after my cats.”


19. Donna O.
“Donna was an associate of mine for over 3 years working at a dog hiking business. During that time, she formed lifelong connections with the dogs and customers. She made everyone feel safe and cared for. Donna often went above and beyond by taking the dogs for runs, caring for them when their owners were running late, picking dogs up outside of our work hours for the convenience of the customer, and watching dogs on weekends. She is always on time, does her job well, and has a special bond with animals. I believe she would be a perfect candidate for Rover and would be a good representative for the company.”


20. Colleen E.
“Colleen is amazing! She is great with communication and is very professional! She has watched my dog at my house and done a drop in visit on very short notice. She’s trustworthy and very sweet:) if you’re considering booking with her, I would recommend it!”
