“Tina is the best with my dog Auggie! He loves going on walks with Tina. She is reliable and I would trust her anytime to care for him.”
3. Mingyun Z.
“Minty in watched our cat for a week. This was our first time using rover and she went above and beyond to take care of our little fur baby. Our cat is shy and Mingyun went out of her way to ensure our cat was happy and fed. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. We will absolutely be requesting Mingyun again to cat sit in the future!”

7. Andrea S.
“Where to begin? Andrea fostered our sweet pup when she was initially rescued from Texas. After close to 6 months helping to nurse her to health, my family and I adopted Bella and feel so lucky to have Andrea as a part of our lives now. She checks in regularly, has watched Bella for us when we've been out of town (reunions are the cutest), and as pet owners we feel so good knowing that our dog is being well cared for and loved while we are away. If you want your pet to be in capable, experienced, and caring hands, look no further.”
8. Elisabeth G.
“Elisabeth took such amazing care of my blind cat Mushroom. She was a great communicator, followed instructions and mushroom took to her instantly. I felt completely at ease while away thanks to Elisabeth and would absolutely book her again.”
9. Melissa R.
“I cannot recommend Melissa enough for pet caretaking! She was incredibly responsive, always on time, and showed such thoughtfulness and care throughout the entire experience. I could tell my cat, Artemis, really liked her—he even started leaving little ‘gifts’ at the front door whenever Melissa visited, which is a sure sign of his approval! Knowing that Artemis was in such good hands while I was away gave me great peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone dependable and caring to look after your pets, Melissa is the perfect choice.”
10. Jenna B.
“Jenna was really great with my puppy. She sent me pictures and kept me updated about my puppy. I’m definitely gonna ask for help again in the future!”

13. Michelle T.
“I recommend Michelle as a pet sitter. She took amazing care of my dog, providing updates with pictures and videos that showed how happy he was. She’s attentive to special needs, like medication, and truly understands how to handle reactive pets.”
14. Sarah K.
“Sarah has been a good friend for years and there’s no one, aside from my partner, that I’d trust with my pets more than her. She’s grown up with a variety of animals and knows not only how to care for them, but also how to entertain, interact, and love them. She is fantastic!”
15. Xiaohui L.
“Xiaohui has been phenomenal in looking after my Border Collie puppy, Max. Her updates are consistent and filled with cute pictures and videos, giving me confidence that Max is in good hands. I highly recommend Xiaohui to anyone seeking top-quality care for their furry friend.”

18. Julia B.
“Julia has always been an animal lover and has a dog of her own that I’ve seen her raise and train first hand. She always puts her pup first and she is a well known animal lover throughout our friends and family. I myself have a dog (Julia and I actually adopted from the same litter!) and the only other person I trust more than myself with her would be Julia.”
19. Tiffany C.
“Tiffany is the best friend a dog or person can have Attentive loving and so thorough hudson and I can’t wait to see you again This is why I refer you to my friends”
20. Camille C.
“Camille is the most loving and caring and thoughtful pet owner I know!! She is so so patient with all kinds of dogs and she really has a way of getting them to listen to her. Even more timid dogs warm up to her quickly! Overall I would say Camille is basically the dog whisperer and your pet will be so happy to spend time with her (and she will be happy to spend time with your pet)!”
