“Our second time using Brandy and always she was great! We had a long day away from the pup and Brandy was able to come in and feed her and let her out for many potty brakes, thus making our time away more enjoyable for us to be away knowing our pup is being cared for! ❤️”

Amy is a joy to work with, and I cannot recommend her highly enough!”

“This was my first time having Anthony check on my dogs and I’m very pleased. He was timely, spent the full time with them, and accommodated my special requests. They were both happy & relaxed when I got home.”
11. Angelica M.
“This is the third or fourth time we have booked Angelica for either overnight dog/house sitting or drop in visits. We’re confident Louie is in good hands with her. She’s a good communicator and sends the best pics of Louie.”
12. Jennifer V.
“Jennifer has been amazing for drop ins to walk the dog as well as house sitting for a week. I can tell how much she loves my pets and they love her!”
13. Alexia J.
“We've relied on Alexia to care for our menagerie many times. Most recently she took wonderful care of our two older dogs (lab/retriever mixes) and checked in on our two older kitties with multiple daily visits while we were traveling for a more than a week. Alexia sent informative updates and pictures after every visit that showed genuine care, noting each pet's individual quirks -- my kids joked that she was reliving our whole pet ownership experience, one update at a time. I highly recommend Alexia; she's just *great*.”
14. Heather M.
“Heather has done drop-ins for our dog Hachi (180 lb Great Dane), and has always been great. We feel comfortable with her coming by our apartment and making sure he gets a potty break and has food/water available. Heather has also been flexible with last minute changes and requests, which is something that’s extremely helpful when things don’t always go according to plan. I am leaving this review after our second booking, but I know we’ll be reaching out again for future drop-ins. We’re very pleased with her services and recommend her! Thank you Heather.”
15. Katie G.
“Katie has never met a pup she didn’t instantly love. She adores walking, talking and playing with dogs – all kinds, all ages and all personality types. She grew up with 2 family dogs and was caring, kind and responsible with them, even as a child. She truly loves and enjoys their company. She’s conscientious, responsible and delivers on her commitments. And…she’s good with to people too 😊 clients will love her kind-hearted personality.”
16. Monique B.
“Monique was a great kitty caretaker! She was responsive and easy to communicate with, shared the joys and challenges of my two kitties, made adjustments as needed and reliably completed her visits. She is someone who clearly loves cats!”
17. Abby S.
“After planning a last minute trip, I realized it would be unrealistic and impractical to bring my cat Sally along with me. Finding Abby to watch her for a few days, a was able to go! She made sure to play with her toys, and feed Sally her favorite wet food. Having had dogs and cats herself, I felt a lot more comfortable and safe having her do the job. I would 10/10 recommend Abby for pet care!”
18. Tausha H.
“Tausha is the first Rover pet sitter I have used. My two dogs are both medically fragile, with one taking 3 different meds, daily. My prior pet sitters have either been family members or a a neighborhood pet sitter who knows my dogs. I was going out of town for six days and the scheduled pet sitter had a family emergency. So, I asked Tausha if she would feel comfortable stepping into the role... and she accepted. Taking care of my dogs means following a medication chart, and a fairly specific task list. For example, one dog must be fed by hand, using a baby syringe. Additionally, my dogs are small, and it is Winter, so they don't get "let outside" to pee or poop. This means I use high-quality pee pads, which is an extra step for keeping the dogs' room clean and sanitary. Tausha visited my dogs three times each day: breakfast, dinner, and the last visit just for a "night" tuck in to make sure they would be okay until the morning, clean up any poop or change the potty pad. Tausha was not intimidated by the complexity of my dogs' care and did a great job. If you consider she had never taken care of them, especially for an extended number of days, she did a stellar job. Would not hesitate to use her again.”
19. Allaurah B.
“Allaurah has watched our pup and kitties for us while we were away multiple times now. She is honestly the only person I can trust! She always makes sure the kitties have everything they need. She was able to give such good care with our pup Sushi and we are forever grateful for this. She took him on walks, played with him, and showed him so much love. Nothing puts us more at ease when we’re away from home than knowing our babies are being well looked after!”
20. Amber G.
“We had Amber come and drop in for a few days while we were away for our wedding. We were ak nervous at the thought of being away from our fur baby as we never have left him before. Amber was amazing and sent us a lot of updates with pictures. Will definitely be using her again!”
