“Jessica was great! She took great care of our two dogs and communicated multiple times a day to let us know how things were going. We would definitely love to have her watch our dogs again!”


2. Samantha W.

“Samantha was terrific with my quirky dog. She learned his vibes and personality quickly and worked well with him. She kept me informed, cleaned up after herself, and I would absolutely hire her again.”


3. Iuliia H.

“Luliia took care of our two big guys for 10 days, giving them all the love and attention they needed while we were gone. We could rest easy knowing that our dogs were in good hands and someone was watching over our home. When we came home, our house was in better shape than when we left it. Highly recommend — will definitely be using Luliia again!”


4. Lauren B.

“Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our cat and dog while we were out of town. Our dog has an open healing wound as well and she took great care of this; the wound looked better when we returned. We will definitely be using Lauren for future needs and would highly recommend her services.”


5. Shykala B.

“Shykala agreed to watch my dog at my home on short notice while I was away for the weekend. She went out of her way to accommodate my schedule in order to do a meet and greet with my dog, who is anxious around new people. While I was away, she sent multiple updates, photos, and maps showing the routes she walked with my dog. When I returned from my trip, my home was just as I had left it and shykala had taken the trouble to strip the bedsheets and take out the trash. I will definitely be asking her to watch my fur baby again!”


6. Bria M.

7. Victoria F.

8. Annie S.


“Annie was wonderful with our dog and two cats. She had an immediate rapport with Geneva, our dog, and handled the puppy energy very well. We recommend Annie and will keep her on our pet-caregiver list!”


9. Tatiana L.

“Tatiana took care of our senior greyhound overnight at our house, and did a fantastic job! She met with us before our trip and was very thorough in going over all of his information. She communicated with us regularly while we were away and reached out to his vet when he had a minor medical issue. She very clearly enjoyed spending time with our dog and gave him lots of love. I would absolutely recommend Tatiana to anyone who was looking for care for their pets!”


10. Gretchen G.


“Gretchen is a great communicator and took exceptional care of our motley crew (two pugs and a cat). We fully enjoyed our trip knowing our animals were in such capable hands.”


11. Taylor D.

“Taylor took great care if both my dog and cat while we were away for a week. The house was just as we left it when we came back and we received regular plenty of updates about how they were doing / pictures. The overall communication was super easy! I will definitely ask Taylor to watch my pets again whenever I have a future trip out of town”


12. Brooke L.

“Brooke is all that you could possibly ask for and more from someone caring for your pet. We were thrilled with the attention and love she gave our pup and it was clear she immediately made him comfortable. Best Rover experience ever.”


13. Grace D.


“Grace stayed with my fur-babies a second time - each visit braving the ice and winter snow storms! I appreciated the consistency. She was willing to coordinate pet pick-up with my neighbor since we had to leave at 5am. I know 3 walks a day can be a lot, but they were happy and healthy when I got home and I didn’t have to worry while on vacation out of state. It’s always so clean when I get home, too, exactly how I left it. Grace is the best!”


14. Lacie A.


“Lacie is a great house and dog sitter! She is flexible and communicative with me, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I recommend her and would hire her again.”


15. Konnor T.

“Konnor was great. He came over for a meet and greet with our dogs before he watched them. While we were gone he kept us updated and sent pictures. We will definitely call Konnor again.”


16. Kristen E.

“Kristin was wonderful with Florence, and us as nervous puppy owners leaving our girl with someone new for the first time. She sent photos and text updates throughout the evening to keep us posted. ❤️”


17. Sergio H.

“Sergio was kind enough to meet me before taking care of my two, he asked questions and on the day of he did well with my two Huskies. My house was in order when I arrived and my two were happy as can be, 10/10!”


18. Beth D.


“Beth did a phenomenal job I would 10/10 recommend. She treated my babies as if they were her very own! She sent text and photo updates daily which was very nice. I am so thankful for her and her services!!”


19. Alexandria G.

“Alex was great with our pups. She took care of our three pups in our home and gave frequent updates on how the pups were doing. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for quality dog care. Thank you Alex!”


20. Tony H.

“We came home to two happy, safe dogs. Tony is truly a dog person. Our pups can be a little challenging to walk, but it seemed easy for Tony. My 13-year-old daughter doesn't trust anyone with her babies and she was even pleased! I would definitely trust him to watch our furry family again.”
