1. Michelle M.


“I am always hesitant to leave my dog with strangers, but Michelle took great care of my little Wiley while I was out of town! She’s clearly a dog lover, very responsible, was responsive to any questions I had & sent pics every day. I’d definitely hire her again!”


2. Christine L.

“Christine is truly amazing!!! I booked her last minute and she was able to accommodate my schedule request. Her flexibility made it easy to meet my needs. Christine was very respectful in my home. She was also extremely attentive to my two babies. She treated them like her own. Her friendly energy made it easy for my babies to warm up to her right away. She communicated with me throughout her stay and provided updates that made me feel more comfortable. She is very professional and polite. I got so lucky I found her. I will definitely be booking with her again. She is reliable. I Highly recommend her. She is the best sitter! I was very pleased with her services.”


3. Juliana G.

“Juliana was amazing. My dog was drawn to her from the second she walked in the door. She sent amazing communications and pictures. She went above and beyond....I was installing a gate for the dog outside and the last few pieces came while I was gone and she finished setting it up! She left my house neat and tidy. It was hard to tell she was even there! And of course, most of all, my dog was so well cared for. He needed medication all week which she had no problem administering them. I was so extraordinarily comfortable with her and will 100% use her again. Thanks for everything Juliana!”


4. Lisbet A.

“As a first-time user I was hesitant but Lisbet put us at ease. She showed up on time, gave us pupdates, house was left in order, and pup seemed happy.”


5. Dylan S.

“Dylan took absolutely wonderful care of our cat, Theo, while we were away for over two weeks. It’s the longest time we have ever been away from Theo and I was very anxious but Dylan helped me relax and enjoy myself due to his regular updates that included photos and videos. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He’s extremely responsible and very nice and Theo made friends with him immediately.”


6. Michelle Z.

“Absolutely fantastic. She House/Cat sat for us and was very communicative, sent lots of photos, gave us many updates, and left the house immaculate. We can tell if a cat sitter hasn’t done their job because our cat gets stress dreadlocks. Our cat was incredibly happy and his coat was perfect when we got home. She also took him on his leash walks which made him extra happy. Highly recommended.”


7. Opal C.

“Opal was perfect for our dog who is nervous of strangers she took her time with him and was able to get him to work with her to go for walks and hang out together for the day ? We would definitely use her again if and when we come back to her neighborhood”


8. Alexander C.

“Trustable and reliable dog sitter. Alexandra took care of my four big dogs. He made me feel assured that my dogs were well taken care of while I was out touring the city. He showed utmost concern about dog's health and safety. I would be a return customer if I was a local resident.”


9. Sarah D.


“We highly recommend Sarah!!! She and her husband were amazing and patient with our very needy dog. Sarah is very responsible and reliable sitter. We can tell that our dog was well cared for and loved. She also sent updates and a lot of photos and videos which we really appreciated. Thank you again! =)”


10. Don D.

“Don was very attentive with our senior dog! She has quite a few needs these days and Don was detail-oriented and followed all our instructions carefully. It made it much easier for us to enjoy our trip knowing that our dog was in good hands. He sent lots of updates and photos. We even think our pup was missing her new friend after we returned. :)”


11. Juan L.

“Juan was great! He watched my MIL dog Hodor because he’s too big to come to our house. Juan kept the house clean and even made the bed. We would love having him again and plan to ask. Thank you Juan.”

13. Malia T.

“She was amazing, I thought she was going to check on my Ruby at 11 after she sat for her from 5 -9 . She actually stayed until 12:30 she made Ruby her main priority. I couldn’t be more impressed. Far and away the best sitter I’ve had and they have all been good.”


14. Krystle S.
About: I've taken care of dogs for 10 years. Neighbors of mine have reported on how responsible and trustworthy they find me to be with keeping appointments being punctual and my consistency with their pets walks. I'm also very good with puppies. I also have 13 years of riding and caring for horses. Neighbors and friends can and have relied on me to bathe, groom, feed, give medicine and play with their puppies and senior dogs. I'm currently working minimum hours so I have time for your pets everyday from 11 am until 5 p.m. I am also available on the weekends. I have a fenced yard and a crate for a small size dog. No other animals here, so your pet is free to wander, explore and feel comfortable. My old dog's toys are still here, so there is a cooling pad and some blankets if you forget yours.


15. Esperanza M.
“Esperanza is always lovely with my Caspar. The highlight of my booking with her is getting frequent updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. She is very responsive, and Caspar always has a great time in her care!”


16. Yoshiko O.

“Yoshiko was one of THE BEST sitter we've ever had. She kept the place extremely clean, probably even cleaner than when we left it. Our dog looked healthy and happy in Yoshiko's care. She was extremely communicative throughout the whole process, and very respectful of our space. We've had many Rover sitters in the past, and we'd always be nervous leaving our dog in someone else's care, but Yoshiko made us feel extremely at ease while being away. We would definitely have Yoshiko care for our dog again any time we're away.”


17. Natasha M.
“Natasha regularly dog sits my 9-year-old cairn terrier/maltese mix. I always rest easy on vacation knowing that he is in good hands. She takes great care of him despite his persnickety personality. I know he gets regular walks and that she can be counted on to feed him properly. She also is great at communicating, consistently checking in with photos and reports on how he is doing. I will be bringing him back to her next time I need a pet sitter.”


18. Cruz Q.
“Cruz is a great care provider, with real life experience as she has had an abundance of pets throughout her whole life. She is attentive and most importantly has a heart for every living being. She comes from a ranch where not only Cruz has had to take care of a numerous amount of dogs, but a variation of animals such as; roosters, goats, sheep, cattle, and horses. As someone who personally knows her, I have seen her passion when it comes to taking care of any animal.”


19. Laura R.
“Dear Sirs; I have known Laura Rode very well for over 30 years. She is the most compassionate, sensitive and loving pet owner I know. She has demonstrated time and again her commitment to ensuring her dogs and cats were well taken care of and loved. Not only is she committed to caring for her pets, she has done extensive research on ways to improve their health and welfare.”
