1. Samantha W.

“This is our second time booking Sam - Sam provided daily updates with photos, clearly gave lots of cuddles and time to our babies while we were away. House looks great and she is a phenomenal sitter, we trust her and our dogs enjoy her company, walks, and play time while she's here.”


2. Benjamin P.

“Benjamin was very accommodating at the last minute nature of our request. He was kind, flexible and experienced. He cared for my rambunctious large dog and two kittens with ease. When I arrived home, all was well - they were all peaceful and happy. I have had enough experience with sitters to know who the animals like and who they are more unsure of - Benjamin was a definite win!”


3. Sharron I.

“Sharron was AMAZING. She sent so many photos of our boys and took the best care of them. Sharron will absolutely be our first call anytime we need someone.”

“Paige was easy to communicate with and made me feel comfortable leaving my dog in her care. He is high anxiety and she did great with him and he was in great spirits when I got home.”


5. Penny W.

“Penny was great. She really listened during our meet and greet. The dogs (1 senior cocker spaniel and 1 middle aged active beagle) really seemed to love her. We came home to happy dogs and a well cared for house.”


6. Morgana M.

“She kept us updated on how the dogs were doing and sent pictures throughout the weekend. She went above and beyond at mealtime as my dogs have a special diet. She has a calm presence and my dogs seemed to warm up to her quickly. We’ll definitely call her again for our pet sitting needs. Thank you!”

“Kelly was such a great sitter for our very protective dog Luna. She truly cared about how Luna was feeling and took her time to make sure Luna felt comfortable. We got consistent updates with pictures and felt right at ease on our vacation knowing Luna was getting the best care possible. We will certainly be requesting her on our next vacation as well as recommending her to our friends. Thank you so much Kelly!!”


12. Nathalia V.

“Nathalia did an amazing job with our pets! We had a tricky situation at the start and she handled it beautifully. She was very communicative. She took great care of our pets and left our house just as we had left it. Would definitely hire her again.”


13. Kristi A.
“Since I have met Kristi, I always knew what an animal lover she was! She has her own dogs and cats that she treats as her children and very compassionate about them. She is very caring, organized and helpful! She is good at handling hard situations and always has a smile on her face!”


14. Kelsey M.

“Kelsey was great. She stayed with our 2 dogs for a long weekend. We got tons of updates and photos throughout the day. Communication was great. Will be a returning customer.”


15. Dylan N.

“Dylan was fantastic! He treated my dog, Olive, like he would his own. Dylan took her on multiple walks daily, and she received plenty of attention/play time. I was provided daily updates including pictures. Olive was in great hands while I was away, and Dylan was also very respectful of the house. Plants watered and house clean. I will definitely use Dylan again for any Rover services! Highly recommend!”


16. Beth J.

“Definitely recommend! Beth provided dog sitting in our home for our senior dog. Her communication was great (from the meet-and-greet through the last day of her stay). She took our pup on more walks than we even asked, was flexible with timing, and very respectful of our home. We will certainly rebook with her in the future! Thanks Beth!!”




17. Laura L.

“Laura was amazing to Javi (4 months puppy)! This was our first booking through Rover and we will definitely request her service again in the future. She gave updates and shared pictures of Javi when we were out, which we really appreciated - very professional.”

“Kayla has taken care of my dogs and cats multiple times. She is very attentive to their needs and is great about keeping me updated on their daily doings and sending pictures/videos of my fur babies. If you’re looking for a fantastic pet sitter that will treat your pets with love and care, Kayla is your girl!”


19. Grace C.
“Grace is a pet lover. She will seek out animals to cuddle play with etc. she walks and runs my 93 lb. Dog. Makes sure he always has food and water and plenty of cuddles. I would have her take care of him anytime and not worry about him at all. She is very trust worthy.”


20. Chelsea S.

“Chelsea is fantastic! She house-sat for us and watched our dog and cat for 12 days. We had frequent updates from her, she took great care of the pets, and left the house immaculate. We're so appreciative to have found someone as great as Chelsea so the animals didn't have the stress of being boarded. Would highly recommend!”
