4. Carolyn Z.

“This was my first time using rover and I’m so glad I booked with Carolyn. From the very beginning she was so thorough and explained how rover works and the services she offers. She walked me through everything and made me feel very confident when I booked a walk for my dog Bongo. Carolyn offered to meet Bongo a day before the walk so that he can feel comfortable with her the day of and also meet me! The day of the walk she sent me so many updates and pics of Bongo which made me feel so much at ease. She takes her time and made Bongo feel secure. I’m sure Bongo loves her already! I can’t say enough good things about Carolyn and know she’s my new rover sitter for Bongo! Don’t need to look any further. BOOK HER NOW!”

9. Katie M.

I feel confident leaving them in her care when I need to go away. Also helps that she is in school training to be a Vet Tech.

10. Vivian S.

“I am so glad we found Vivian! She is an excellent dog walker for our golden retriever. She is reliable, sends pictures, spends plenty of time with him ensuring he gets his energy out on days we are out of the house and such a pleasure to work with!!”


11. Leah C.
“Leah was a great pet sitter. I often times would leave for work and needed someone to support my then puppies, Spock and Honey. From the time they needed to be bottle fed and potty trained she was there for my babies! Even though they had a lot of energy and required plenty of attention, she made sure to remain patient and kind with them. They even developed a close relationship with Leah, as every time it was time for them to depart they would start to whine. Lastly, she followed the directions I laid out for honey to a T, when it came to her getting her first period. Leah truly took a weight off of my back by helping my babies when I couldn't. I know she will be able to provide the same stellar service to your family as well!”


12. Janice P.
“Janice has done a phenomenal job of taking care of my fur babies. She is always extremely attentive and sends lots of pictures and updates! She has watched my dog Bean since she was a puppy, and has cat-sat Chester and Georgie both at my apartment and her apartment for longer stays. Janice has always been a great pet sitter and I highly recommend her. She'll treat your fur babies with the love and attention that she gives to her own!”


13. Sherry G.

“Sherry was exactly what we needed in a walker. During our meet and greet, she gathered as much information as possible and asked all the right questions, not only about our dog, but also about our preferences as an owner. She wasn't familiar with our breed and already researched their temperament beforehand. She even carries a bell to scare away the many deer in our neighborhood. It's this mindset that makes a difference. She adheres to teaching our dog all the good habits we would try to instill in him. Her experience with dogs shine through as she is firm when discipline is needed, but also loving. She has been helping us to work on his pulling. Our dog can hardly contain his excitement when she comes by. Above all, Sherry is respectful and a delight to work with; I highly recommend her.”


14. Jessica N.

“We were in a Christmas Eve pinch and Jessica stepped up and took care of our 2 Gooden’s like a pro!”


15. Christine L.
“My dog is so happy whenever Christine visits! So happy we found her”




16. Justine C.
About: Love dogs and would love a chance to play with yours! Used to be an athlete in college and definitely willing to run around to tire out your dog. Also I live close to a dog park and lots of great trails to walk on. My apartment is dog friendly and will be able to walk around my area at night as well without any issues. I currently have one dog, a toy poodle and a cat. Both are very friendly, although the toy poodle just wants to cuddle all day and the cat just wants to eat nonstop. The toy poodle Mocha, enjoys playing with dogs and people. My cat is also very friendly. I’m available to pet sit before 8a and after 5p on weekdays. If needed, I may be able to stop by midday on weekdays. On weekends, I am available all day. I will clean up after your pet and try to take in any mail/packages. I will also try to take out any trash from cat litter or food cans while you are away.


17. Sivakumar K.
“Can’t recommend Siva enough as a dog sitter. He took such a great care of my pup and his dog Inba is super friendly with other dogs. From walks to playtime to thoughtful updates and photos.”


18. Maggie R.
“Maggie grew up with pets. She has been around dogs since she was two years old and has enthusiastically played and cared for them. She has a terrific ability to assess their temperament and understand when they are scared, angry or just need affection. In addition to currently caring for her own two dogs, including feeding, playing, and walking them, she has cared for neighbor’s dogs and cats. She is very responsible and stays in contact with the pet owner to let them know the status of their pet.”


19. Cynthia W.
“I was very happy to find Cynthia, she is a true dog lover and takes amazing care of my dog. Coco is young and difficult to handle but, I have no worries with Cynthia. Coco wags his tail and goes with her no problem. Cynthia will text over a picture and cares for him, the way I would. Thank you so much for giving me "Peace of Mind"”


20. Girley O.
“Gigi took such good care of my Cassie when we went out of town. She looked after her with such attention and compassion. She took on all responsibilities with no hesitation and followed our specific requests to make sure Cassie was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I could not have trusted anyone better with my doggie.”
