1. Norlando M.
“Norlando is the most reliable, friendly, and respectful sitter I’ve ever had. He makes himself available to work within my schedule and goes out of his way to take my dog on long walks. He also must have a ton of patience, because my dog can sometimes be a bit excited and scared of others and yet Norlando is constantly sending me photos of him with new dog friends.”
2. Liz F.
“We have a fearful senior rescue dog with a complicated history, and Liz has been great about doing an initial meet-and-great and then an extended drop-in to spend time with our dog alone. She very much understands how to interact with a fearful dog who needs time to feel trusting. Her experience as the guardian of a rescue dog herself definitely comes into play. She was punctual, cheerful, and generous-minded, and we really appreciate her willingness to work with Penny! We will definitely use her again.”
3. Kelsey D.
“She’s great! Very responsive and did a great job with the dog & cat. Would very much recommend Kelsey to others. The pup was very happy and excited for his walk!”
4. Taylor N.
“Taylor has been such a great dog sitter for us! She was so kind, responsive and caring for my two dogs Redd and Blu! She sent so many updates so we knew exactly how the dogs were doing and the photos were perfect as well. All the updates made us know that our dogs were in safe hands! She was also super flexible when we had to extend our trip and was willing to work with us. The dogs absolutely loved her (they didn't want to leave) and we know we can always trust her with them in the future. Thanks again Taylor!!”
5. Anna P.
“Anna came by daily to give our dog her insulin shots while we traveled. She was very easy to work with, has fantastic attention to detail, was a good communicator AND was very punctual. You really cannot ask for more. She was excellent.”
6. Marie M.
“Marie is so thoughtful and caring with my senior cat, Gary. He loves the special attention she gives him (she treats him like a prince!) and I love her detailed updates after each visit. This last visit she even left a framed photo of Gary that she took! ❤️ I feel so much better leaving Gary at home knowing Marie is taking great care of him. She’s the best!”
7. Madeline B.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 9 years old, and it has become one of my favorite hobbies. I just moved to the city from Louisiana, where care is an expertise. I miss my dog from home so much and I’m looking to help fill that gap. I work full time, from 9-4 every week day. I am an early riser, and would be keen on walking dogs early in the morning. I also have plenty of time on the weekends to watch and take care of pets. The animals safety is my number one priority. It is important to know what safety measures need to be taken in the case of any emergency. I also know some pets are energetic, and I try to stimulate them as much as possible.
8. Blaise S.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life. Small and big they are my best friends. Just lost my lil guy Prince and while I’m not ready to adopt another I do want to be around dogs. I’ve got a regular 9-5 but free on nights and weekends. My wife will sometimes join me for walks in the park and play time. They are an extension of family and get treated that way. Easy access to go in/out and spots in house meant for them. I love dogs.
9. Miranda H.
“I know from firsthand experience what an incredible pet-person Miranda is. She truly cares about animals and is an empathetic and talented pet owner and trainer. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have her care for my dog!”
10. Alice Z.
“Alice took amazing care of my two cats while I was away on and off for two weeks! She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to ensure my cats felt comfortable. I received regular updates, and it was clear that they were in great hands. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend Alice to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care.”
11. Elika L.
“We've had Elika as our primary dog walker (and I like to say, Pet Concierge) for 7 years. Unlike most dog walkers, she takes the exercise of our two terriers seriously. Not just standing around in the same park while the dogs sniff. Instead, she WALKS the dogs, takes them to different parks, to the beach, makes their walks an adventure for them. She's professional, reliable, punctual, and our dogs adore her - that's always a good sign! Elika has helped us find a groomer, arranges, and takes them there, and she's kept our dogs for us when we have been out of town. If you want peace of mind that your dogs are being exercised and cared for expertly, Elika is the only person to work with!”
12. Jacqueline M.
“Jackie was great with Ziggy! I only trust the best with my dog because he deserves the most tentative care and responsible care while I'm away. I would happily book Jackie through Rover. I am extremely appreciative of her being available last minute and having an easy schedule to work with.”
13. Hannah C.
“Hannah has a genuine love for dogs and an innate ability to care for pets. She has provided dog sitting and walking services for many of her neighbors, who trust her for her dependable and attentive approach to looking after their pets.”

About: I’ve taken care of two malamutes from puppy stage to adult stage. Very intuitive with dogs as far as noticing issues that might be bothering them. I currently work primarily for Instacart. So my schedule is 100 % flexible.

17. Téa E.
“Téa did a fantastic job taking care of our Mira while we were gone for two weeks. The photos are so candid and the responsive communication was comforting. Thank you Téa!”
18. Serena R.
“Serena has been a great dog sitter to my Chihuahua Dachshund, Poncho. Even though he can be a handful with a very strong personality and needs, Serena goes above and beyond to care for him as if he were her own. She treats him with great care, respect and love. She has grown up with dogs and truly understands the details that come with caring for a pet. I highly recommend Serena.”

20. Mehr S.
About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long as I remember. While I didn’t have my own growing up, I was always the go to sitter for my neighbors and friends when they were out of town. During college, I also fostered kittens which was an extremely rewarding experience. I’m currently working full-time during the week but I work remotely 4/5 days of the week. I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks or visits with pets and I’m available on weekends as well. I’m happy to watch your pet in your home. I’m reliable and trustworthy and have many years of experience popping into friend’s homes to check in on and play with their pets. I love spending time with animals and want to make sure they are getting all the TLC they need while their owner is away!
