“Tammy is already so loved by our 3 crazy pups. Our family is full of rescue dogs with special instructions and Tammy is on top of it. Not only can she be trusted with more complex safety rules, but she is clearly adored by our crew. So thankful to have found her and only wish she was available more frequently.”


5. Michaela L.

“Michaela was great from the start. My dog is scared of strangers but he grew to love her in just a few days of drop in visits. I got details of each visit and as a fur mama I appreciate knowing the little things. We will use her again!!”


6. Cassandra Y.

“Cassandra is the best there is! Cassandra was amazing at communicating with me through the entire pet sitting process. Before leaving for my trip, she made sure to schedule a meet and greet with my cats and discuss important details for their care, some of which I had not even thought of. She was great with sending me reminders and check ins as we got closer to my departure date. I was so busy with work that it was such a relief she took the initiative to follow up with me. I felt so reassured about leaving my kitties for the first time. While I was away she took amazing care of my kitties and sent me pictures and updates. I felt so at ease knowing Cassandra was watching my pets. Cassandra is professional and personable. She is compassionate, sweet and thoughtful and I am eternally grateful I found her!”


7. Karen M.


“Karen was amazing! She sent pictures and wrote a description of the visit each time so I always knew what was going on. I could see how happy our dog was in all of the pictures. I couldn’t have asked for a more caring and dog loving person to watch my dog. Would highly recommend her.”


8. Linda C.

“Linda is very reliable with visits and is very timely! I never have a concern about reminders for dates booked which is very reassuring during busy travel! Linda makes an effort to leave their spaces tidy, thank you Linda!”

11. Alyssa B.
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and taken care of dogs of all sizes for years. Feeding, loving, and cleaning the litter box for cats is second nature to me. I also love taking care of and playing with dogs. I’m an active person who loves to get 10k steps in a day and would love to bring your dog with me. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs with shy/anxious temperaments and administered medication. My 18 yr old cat Sierra recently passed away so I’ve decided to join Rover to continue to give animals love in her memory. While I’m not quite ready to get another pet, I have lots of animal love ready to give your pet while you’re away. I currently work a hybrid job with the requirement to go in at least three days a week. The other two days of the week I am home. I am highly active and love taking walks myself so I would love to bring your dog along with me. On the days I work from home I have the freedom to pop over to your house, let your dog out of my house, or take 30 min walk with your dog in between calls. I also can take breaks to give your animal affection. I will follow all directions, no matter how specific, to care for your pet the way you would like. I will be respectful in your home. I also will provide lots of love and attention for your animal.


12. Arianna D.
“Arianna is the best! She has watched my pitbull mix rescue (who can be a lot!) on multiple occasions and he always comes home happy and well taken care of. I’d recommend her to anyone and will certainly have Bruschi stay with her again!”


13. John & Donna T.
“John and Donna took wonderful care of my dog Lexie for years. They walked her and were very flexible with my crazy schedule. Lexie would live with them when I traveled for work and they took the best care of her. They were her second family and she loved them. They cried with me when we had to put Lexie down. If you want a family that cares for your dog like you do you want John and Donna as your dog’s caregivers. Highly recommend them.”


14. Alexa F.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Alexa as a responsible and loving pet caregiver. She is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and reliable, always ensuring my pet feels safe and well-cared for. Alexa's genuine love for animals shines through in everything she does. I'm confident that any pet in her care is in excellent hands.”


15. Kathryn & John G.

They will treat your fur baby like a member of the family. Georgie their sweet ,sweet Boxer is friendly and loves being around other dogs! I completely trust our dog Nola .”


16. Lisa P.
“Lisa is amazing! Our dog loves seeing her. We needed an extra helping hand when at work and she’s been great! She sends pictures and we love knowing our buddy gets the attention he needs - and a couple extra cookies.”


17. Tracy D.

“Tracy was great. She and the dog were fast friends. We left our grand puppy alone at our house for the first time. Tracy’s text updates put me at ease that she was doing fine.”


18. Lila H.
“Lila has cared for my dog many times, and each time I can tell she let him out and walked him with care. She is always on time when it comes to letting him out and never misses a beat when she walking him and watching him for me/”


19. Jamie M.
“I have been fortunate to have Jamie as my helper, caring for my dog. My dog has had many medical issues in the past year and Jamie not only helped care for her but was such a compassionate person for my dog. She has always been accountable which is so important to me.(shows up every time and brings back my dog safe/sound and happy) She is very responsible and passionate towards my dog. My dog loves her and she comes highly recommended. We are so lucky to have her!”
