1. Sara P.


“We love Sarah...always feel at ease knowing Sara is in our home with our baby, Lulu...her energy is warm and positive, and she has such excellent intuition for dealing with animals...hope to continue using Sara for as long as we possibly can!”


2. Jeffrey V.

“Jeffrey is fantastic! Very flexible and easy to communicate with, we really appreciated how willing he was to come over and meet our dogs twice before our trip. He was also more than willing to return to our house to let them outside for a quick break when we asked. Can’t recommend Jeffrey enough!”


3. Katie N.

“Katie was amazing! She took excellent care of my 2 pups and also was very neat and tidy while managing her sleepover with them. She's easy to communicate with and very responsive. I highly recommend her!”


4. Kayla D.

“Kayla watched our middle-aged doggo for the weekend. She was easy to work with and communicative and the house looked great when we got back. I’d hire her again.”


5. Kendall D.

“Great sitter! Will hire again.”


6. Melissa U.
“Melissa has taken excellent care of my dogs during both short and longer trips. She provided exemplary overnight care and after her first visit became one of my dogs favorite people. I always know my loved ones are safe in her care. Highly recommend.”


7. Jolene W.

“I would highly recommend Jolene as your pet sitter. This was our first time using Rover. Having a stranger stay at our house and take care of our dogs made us very nervous , but after meeting with her a few times I felt more at ease with her. She asked all the right questions, she was very professional and my dogs took to her immediately. She did exactly what we needed her to do which included giving one of my dogs medication and a brushing because of a skin issue. She kept in touch with us, sent pictures and she left our house spotless, without a trace that she was there. She even asked where my vacuum cleaner was to make sure all dog hair was cleaned up before we got home. I am very pleased with our experience with her and would use her again. Thanks Jolene!!!”


8. Jillian G.

“Jillian was amazing with my pups!! She communicated through out the stay and sent pics! She left my house neat and clean. Highly recommend her!!”


9. Marcella M.

“Marcella was so great, we had an initial meeting of our pets and things went great, we will definitely be in touch again and are so thankful Marcella was available to care for Chilli and Mew”


10. Samantha M.
“Samantha is an amazing and caring pet mom. She took care of my dog Toby while I was away and treated him as her own, taking him on many walks and giving him much love and attention in my absence. She has also cared for my three cats and was wonderful with each and every one of them. She followed my instructions to a T. She has many years of experience owning pets and it just comes second nature to her. I would highly recommend her and would never use anyone else to care for my furbabies when I am not available. I give her five stars and beyond.”


11. Brianna B.
“Brianna looked after my fur babies while I was on vacation and she was absolutely amazing. My dogs can be hesitant with new people, but they warmed right up to her which made me so happy!! She followed their food routine and how often they go out to a T. She also shared a recipe for homemade dog treats that she uses for her own dogs (they LOVE it). Highly recommend booking Brianna for walks or house sitting if you’re in need!”


12. Julie C.

“We were very fortunate to find Julie at the last minute to stay overnight with our pup. This was the first time in the two years we have had him that we found ourselves without a close friend or family member to care for him while we were away. Julie was quick to respond to our request and even made the time to stop by and meet us prior to us leaving. While we were away, she provided updates and pictures which definitely help put our minds at ease. When we arrived home it was evident that Finn was well taken care of. Not one sign of any anxious behaviors and when we arrived home he was of course happy to see us but was also very calm and relaxed which to me is a sign that he was not stressed or nervous while we were away. We will most definitely be using Julie again!!!”


13. Nicholas M.
“Nick is a wonderful pet caregiver!! He loves our 2 dogs! He is responsible walking them, feeding them and giving medication when needed. He’s also very loving and sweet with them! I recommend Nick without reservation!!”


14. Tara R.


“Tara is great! We have used her twice now and hopefully she will always be available when i go out of town going forward. My dog loves her so much and misses her once she’s gone. She provides many updates and photos. It’s nice to have someone at home that I can trust and that my pets trust too!”


15. Lyn B.
“ I would like to offer my enthusiastic recommendation for Lyn B. as a pet sitter! Lyn looked after my cat Milo for a week in December 2016. She listened carefully and asked great questions about my pet's needs before I left town. Trusting her with my cat and my key was no problem at all. I was completely confident that she would be a great pet sitter. And I was right! I came home to a happy, contented, totally relaxed cat. Everything was clean and well organized and she'd left me great notes about Milo's Christmas vacation. I really like Lyn and you will too! She is smart, friendly, and extremely responsible. I will definitely book her again for my next vacation! 10 out of 10!!”


16. Laurie A.

“Laurie was great! Our pets loved her and so did we. She was caring, attentive, and very responsible. Laurie made sure our 4 year old dog got plenty of sunshine and playtime. She took her to the local dog park, played fetch in the back yard 1 -2x during the day. She gave both the cat and the dog extra snuggles and cuddles in our absence. She followed the daily routine for the pets as requested. She stayed in our home and took care and time to keep it tidy. We would highly recommend her and plan on making future travel plans and booking Laurie to help care for our fur babies. Laurie, is mature, responsible and has a gently disposition that is calming to be around.”


17. Kira S.

“Kira did a great job, she arrived on time as scheduled, the dogs loved her. She left the house cleaner then she found it. We will definitely use Kira again in the future.”


18. kayla b.

“Kayla house sat with my cat for 4 days and took excellent care of him. She provided many photos and updates on how he was doing. She also respected my home and left it in great condition. I look forward to booking her again.”


19. Maria G.
“Maja is the best pet sitter we've ever had, hands down. She truly shows love and care for our dogs (and chickens!) Maja goes above and beyond, taking the dogs for walks, bringing them treats, spending quality time with them, and letting me know before I even realize if they have a need (Fi collars not charged, running out of food, need to be brushed, etc). We LOVE Maja, and our pets do too!”


20. Brett M.
“Brett watched my 6 month old golden retriever for 5 days (the longest we ever left her!) and, from the moment Brett came to the house to meet Sadie, I felt immediately comfortable that she was in great hands. Brett sent photos and was very responsive via text while we were away. We came back to a very happy dog who can't wait to see Brett again. I'd highly recommend her to care for your four-legged family member - she will absolutely be the first person I check with when we have travel plans in the future!”
