1. Wenxin S.

“Wenxin was able to drop-in for our golden retriever puppy, Noodle, on last minute notice and was very flexible in accommodating our changing schedule! She was quick to understand and take care instructions for Noodle and proactive if anything comes up. She also kept me closely updated about him at home which I greatly appreciated! I would feel comfortable leaving my puppy with her again and definitely recommend booking her for your pup :)”


2. Trina C.


“Forrest and I are so happy to have had Trina drop in and spend time with him. She is a remarkable caregiver and her affection for dogs is undeniable. I did not have to worry about her professionalism (she kept to the scheduled appointment, showed up on time, did not leave the place in a mess, and appropriately engaged with my dog based on his interest and energy level). It’s hard to find someone who can connect with dogs as well as she does and we are excited to have her to sit for us again.”


3. Raeline V.

“Raeline follows instructions very well and is always on time. I would hire her again in the future.”


4. Kimberly K.

“Kimberly was so great! Super flexible on times,and communicating. she was Wonderful with our cat Who can be very Sweet and loving, With a feisty side! We will definitely be using her in the future with any of our cats sitting needs 😻”


5. Noah C.
“I have known Noah Cildir for 4 years now, and during that time he has demonstrated a level of love and passion for animals and their care that I have not seen from anyone else. He is kind, responsible, and informed on pet care. Even though I thought I knew a lot about animal care, he still could find areas where I was lacking, and my pets benefited greatly! Out of all the pet owners I have known over my life, he has demonstrated a passion for improving the lives of his pets the greatest and because of his love for animals I know that he will do that for others pets as well.”


6. Gina K.
“G is a conscientious dog-lover. Growing up, they acquired ample experience socializing all kinds of dogs and horses. From puppies, through aging dogs, they have an unusual ability to connect to dogs and other animals. They love to walk and play with dogs—they also know how to groom and recognize issues. A dog would be lucky to hang out with G!”


7. Desarey P.
“I can’t recommend Desarey P. enough as a pet sitter and dog walker! She has an incredible love for animals and a natural ability to make them feel safe and comfortable. Desarey is patient, responsible, and always goes the extra mile to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. Whether it’s keeping up with their exercise needs, providing plenty of affection, or paying attention to the little details that matter, she treats every pet as if they were her own. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Desarey looking after their furry family members!”


8. Alexis I.

“Alexis is reliable and communicative and our cat absolutely loves her! We’ve booked with her several times now and only ever had great experiences.”


9. Andrea P.

“Andrea was attentive and communicated clearly regarding how the drop in visits went.”


10. Emily H.
“Emily is the pet whisperer! Ever since we were little, cats, dogs, turtles, and even horses(!) have loved Emily—unquestionably drawn by the love and understanding she shows animals. With our three cats at home, Emily is the favorite, the expert at coaxing them into the car for vet checkups or helping administer medications. I’ve never seen anything like her relationship with our youngest cat, who essentially follows her around the house all day and night. Emily will show the utmost thoughtfulness and professionalism in taking care of your animals! Her natural talent with pets is augmented by her academic interests in zoology and animal behavior. Book Emily today!”


11. Alejandro N.
“I have had Alejandro care for our two large terrier/lab mix dogs for over a year and a half now. He is one of only two people in this world I would trust with the care and treatment of my pups. He also house sits for us and is exceptionally respectful and responsible in his duties. He always gives updates and asks follow up questions to make sure he is doing everything possible for the safety and wellbeing of Tyson and Laney. I recommend him 100%!!”


12. Rebecca G.


“Thanks, Rebecca, for loving our Newfie so well! You were unphased by how large he is, and so careful to give him all the attention he needed!”


13. Brady S.
“Brady is someone that is great with animals. He has taken care of my cats and dog on a number of occasions. He's one of the nicest people I have came across and is a pleasure to be around. Great guy, does a great job. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. ”


14. Mikaela S.
“Mikaela is the best! She has regularly walked my sweet Cavapoo since she was a puppy. She is trustworthy, reliable, and I feel so at ease leaving my pup with her! I couldn’t recommend her more!!”


15. Cora L.

“We had a wonderful experience with Cora who watched our 2.5 year-old goldendoodle for 2 weeks while we were traveling. Our dog recently had knee surgery and we had to change the dog-sitting plans we had in place due to the limitations during her rehabilitation. We were worried about finding a pet sitter while our pup was still early in the recovery process, but luckily, we found Cora. She was completely comfortable with our dog's surgical recovery and physical therapy needs as she had prior experience with dogs recovering from surgery. Cora was very organized, kind, thoughtful, and gentle with our dog throughout their time together. She went absolutely above-and-beyond by taking her to physical therapy as well as doing daily exercises with her. We could not be more grateful since we returned home to a happy pup who was using her recovering leg! She kept us updated throughout our time away with pictures and videos of her progress. We also returned to a lovely, clean house. We would definitely recommend her house-sitting or walking services to others and plan to use Cora again in the future!”


16. Caity B.

“Caity is the best! We’ve been using her for the past couple months for drop in visits and walks for our reactive GSD Suleiman. She is highly attentive, and she is knowledgeable about dogs, never pushing interaction when they are uncomfortable. Her ability to bounce back, read the situation, and decide how to move forward when he reacted at her during our meet and greet gave us a lot of confidence in her poise, calm, and understanding of dogs and dog behavior. She is patient, and was willing to book drop ins to slowly allow Suleiman to acclimate to her; not assuming the dog is fully comfortable after just one meeting. She has exceptional attention to detail, asks many questions to ensure she truly knows what is being asked, and makes sure she’s truly comfortable and prepared before doing something. I feel she is truly responsible in a way that is rare to find, and we feel very comfortable when Suleiman is in her care. She takes feedback very well and is a sitter I’m sure we’ll be using as long as we can! Absolutely recommend Caity, can’t speak highly enough about her. Definitely an underrated gem on Rover.”


17. Susannah H.

“Susannah was absolutely amazing taking care of our 3 cats! She went above and beyond even grooming them each day. We would highly recommend her to anyone and will be using Susannah again in the near future to watch our little guys!!!”


18. Ally G.

“Thanks so much, Ally, for taking care of our cats, for being reliable and responsive and for sending us frequent updates. Highly recommended!”


19. Rachel P.

“Thanks Rachel for putting up with me, helping me require a lot of steps (or just me being chatty) and she did everything and beyond. Will definitely find her again”


20. Keola & Chris A.

“Thank you Keola for helping us with a last minute request to check on our cats on Christmas Eve! She is really easy to communicate with, quick and responsive, and helped with what we needed perfectly!”
