2. Jessica G.

“First time Rover user and Jessica was absolutely fantastic with my two girls. I appreciate how accommodating and understanding she was. I hope to use her again!!”


3. Lauren R.

“Will be booking again! 5/5! I can't say enough good things about Lauren as a dog sitter! She is incredibly reliable, attentive, and clearly has a deep love for animals. My dog warmed up to her immediately, and I felt completely at ease knowing that he was in such capable hands. Lauren went above and beyond, providing regular updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. It's such a relief to know that I can trust her to care for my fur baby as if he were her own. I highly recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a top-notch dog sitter!”

She was great with him considering he’s newly adopted and still quite shy. We will hopefully reach out to her again in the future!”


11. Mikayla G.


“Mikayla was great with dropping in to check on our cat a few times while we were away. The pics she sent showed us the cat really liked her and wanted to snuggle. She’s very responsive when we had questions and gave us very thorough updates after each visit. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”


12. Kristen F.
About: I grew up with dogs, mostly yellow Labrador retrievers. I also had a dog of my own through college and lived with 3 dogs for several years, so I am comfortable with feeding, walking, etc. I am working part-time in the mornings, so I have full afternoons and weekends available for pet care. My children are also with me at all times. I have a fenced in yard for safe playing outdoors, and two children who enjoy playing with dogs, so we can keep your dog safe and entertained


13. Heidi R.
“Heidi is one of those people that lives to be around dogs! She treated my Cooper like family and he loved getting his walks with her! She was trustworthy, punctual and always went the extra mile for our pooch!”


14. Dylan N.

“Dylan and Kayla did an excellent job meeting my kitties where they were at and allowing them to get comfortable with them in their own time. They are reliable, responsive and absolutely love the cats.”


15. Ella E.
“Ella is our go to pet sitter when we are away! She has taken care of our dog and cats in our home on multiple occasions. She is prompt, dependable and really seems to love our pets like we do. While the pets are not overly "needy" she makes sure the needs they do have - exercise, food and extra snuggles - are met. Knowing she is there and our pets are loved and cared for really allows us to make the most of our time away. Thanks Ella!”




16. Caroline E.
About: I have been a dog owner/carer since I was young, and as an adult I have owned many dogs. My dogs are like my children and I have only ever used Rover for their care, which is why I know I would make a great sitter. I am retired, live an active lifestyle and have a pup who will be 2 in June 2025. We walk at least twice a day and hit the dog park for extra exercise. I am retired and can make anything work, including early morning dropoffs, late night pickups, plenty of potty breaks and walks. Also any number of drop ins to your home. I do not have a fenced yard but I do have a decent front and side yard. The local walking path and park is just a block away. I can offer one portable crate if needed. My own pet stays in a crate at night and when I am away. I have a gate to the stairs and she is not upstairs.


17. Kiera S.
“Kiera has a special love for dogs. She helps her parents foster dogs. She loves to take them on walks and work on basic commands with them, so they can find their forever home. You will not be disappointed.”


18. Katlyn L.
“Kate is so great with Animals! She loves everyone's furry friends just like they are her own! You would be wrong to not have her care for your animals!”


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. Taylor M.
“Taylor takes great care of our dog Odie. He is always getting walks and there is plenty of love shared. She is always looking to add more dogs to our family, so this is a great way for her to meet new pups!”
