1. Jayda "Adara" W.

“I used Adara for an overnight stay with my 2 pups. I came home to a clean house and happy pups! Good communication while I was away and lots of pictures. Will definitely use her again!”


2. Ace G.
“Ace is our go to person for our very anxious yet adorable Beagle. Our pup is so well taken care of by Ace. We have no worries when they are on the job!”


3. Samantha N.

“Samantha was fabulous!!! She is so professional, always provided updates and most importantly we could tell that our dog, Molly and cat Fancy really liked her. :)”


4. Samantha L.

“Sam was an incredible puppy sitter. This is our first puppy so I am overly cautious with her. Within the first thirty minutes of us leaving, sam sent us a plethora of photos and updates, leaving my heart at ease. She updated us very frequently with updates and cutesy photos of our girl. She let us know her overall report when we came home, and watched her to make sure she has no separation anxiety with us. It was such a relief to have her, and I will absolutely be using sam again.”


5. Erin O.

“Erin did a great job taking care of our dog and house. Our dog was healthy and happy when we returned home and our house was exactly as we had left it. We hope Erin is available the next time we travel.”


6. Julissa A.

“Julissa watched our three dogs today and did a fantastic job! All three of our dogs have severe anxiety and separation issues, but as soon as we left the house we received pictures and all three had settled right down and were very comfortable with Julissa. These three are very hard to handle at times and require someone with just the right personality and patience to handle them. We will definitely be contacting her next time we need a sitter.”


7. Brendon P.

“I can not say enough good things about Brendon. We had a request to bring our dog to our wedding which Brendon was gracious enough to do. He made sure to do two visits beforehand to ensure everything went smoothly. He was timely, responsive, and sent updates about our dog. Our dog was well taken care of and in good hands. I would defiantly use him again for house sitting.”


8. Annina R.

“Annina was amazing! She took such great care of Emma—attentive, responsible, and clearly a true animal lover. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Emma came back happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. Highly recommend Annina to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”


9. Mary C.

“Mary had a great time with my dog and I look forward to more visit.”


10. Jessica B.
“Jessica did a great job caring for our pets while we were away on vacation. Not only did she take care of the essentials, but she also interacted with them and made them feel loved.”


11. Ashton Z.

“Great communication while I'm away, both cat and dog are happy and healthy when I return!”


12. Nexsy m.
About: "With 20 years of experience in the animal world, I’m basically a canine whisperer (and feline royalty’s personal servant). From my days as a vet assistant to fostering rescues, I’ve seen it all and loved every moment of it. I’ve handled everything from tiny pups to big, lovable giants—my own fur babies range from a 50-pound cuddle monster to a 120-pound gentle giant, so I’m well-versed in the art of big-dog snuggles and small-dog pampering. Need someone who knows their way around dog first aid? I’ve got that covered too! Whether it’s a solo stroll or managing a whole pack, your fur babies are in safe and loving hands. Let me take care of your pets like they’re part of my pack—because they are!" I am available 7 days a week, 24 - 7. I work from home and am able to flex my schedule pretty easily. i am available for overnights as well. i will follow your direction to the T. All animals are individuals and very particular about their care. I will make sure your babies are safe and loved!


13. Myomi & Joel V.


“Thank you for communicating with me throughout your stay. I’m really glad to have feedback on how my dog is doing and what additional support I need to give him. I really look forward to you sitting with him again.”


14. Kevin T.

“Kay is an excellent dog sitter. Communication is always clear and very accommodating with my changing needs and schedule. Kay was great with my dog, I love that she gets a lot of attention and exercise when Kay watches her. I highly recommend Kay!”


15. Kaitlynn S.

“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”


16. Emily J.

“First time using Rover, Emily was wonderful. Sent pics and a video of my girl so I could see she was happy! Kept great communication, would recommend!!”


17. Audrey B.

“We are very pleased with how Audrey took care of pups and house during a 2 night stay. When we got home the pups were relaxed and didn’t seem to mind we were even gone. They got plenty of attention and playtime. I would highly recommend having Audrey care for your pets as well.”


18. Kenneth N.
“Kenneth is a caring pet caregiver. He has a 10yo Pomeranian that he loves dearly. The funny thing is my cat and his dog don’t get along. Sometimes when he comes over, and my cat Lila smells dog scents on him, she doesn’t attack him, but rather, lets him pick her up.I think my cat loves him more than me lol. I think that animals have good instincts, so they like to be around good people.”


19. Lizeth G.
“Lizeth is a reliable and responsible individual who loves to serve people. She offered to care for my mom's cat during every vacation over the past 4+ years and assumed care after my mom passed. Lizeth took care of her for up to 5 weeks at a time and always did an impeccable job. Recently, she cared for my cousin's dogs and was exceptional in every way. She is caring loving, diligent, consistent and goes above and beyond demonstrating her heart to serve and care for others. I cannot recommend her enough.”


20. Amanda S.

“Amanda was not only flexible, regularly in contact during her visits, and professional but amazing with my dogs! She took such great and thorough care od them and put me at ease while i was away. I 100% recommend!”
