1. Paige P.

“Paige was absolutely wonderful. We have 3 of the toughest dogs to spend 11 days with, and she did an amazing job. We came home to a clean house and 3 happy dogs. My dogs are usually very anxious and upset when we leave, and they seemed very happy and well cared for while we were gone. We will 100% be using Paige again. I cannot say enough about how amazing she is!”


2. Kellie F.

“Kellie was wonderful! Treats our three pups like they are her own! The love she shows them while we were gone was evident! Highly recommend her!”


3. Anastasia W.

“She worked wonderfully with our brand new puppy and was more than happy to work around our schedules. Our puppy adores her and we could tell he had a lot of fun hanging out with her! She is a fantastic listener when it comes to any house rules you may have, and really tries to get to know the dog and the people. I highly recommend her for your next booking, you will not be disappointed!”


4. Teresa W.


“Teresa was great with our 2 dogs! They took to her as soon she walked in. I would highly recommend her! We will certainly have her watch are fur babies again!”


5. Katie F.

“Katie was excellent with our fur babies! She was kind, caring, and responsible. During her stay, she kept us informed with text and photo updates. Our oldest dog requires insulin injections and eye drops. Katie didn’t have any issues with that and did so with care. We will most definitely be using her again!”


6. Samantha A.

“Samantha was so great with our dogs and took great care of our place, too, while she stayed with them overnight. She sent us updates and communicated well about questions etc. We’ll definitely be repeat customers!”


7. Aleda R.
“Aleda loves dogs and genuinely cares about animals and their well-being. You can trust her to come into your home and care for your pets. She understands animals and their needs. I would not hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter.”


8. Ozvaldo N.

“All three of my boys absolutely love their Uncle Oz! Oz watched our dogs while we were gone for almost a week. They have separation anxiety (and so do I), and Oz made sure to send pictures and videos every day to keep us from worrying about them. My boys were so happy with him!”


9. Lael S.

“Lael swooped in to take care of our dogs when our other dog watcher had scheduling problems. She was accommodating and cared for our 9 week post leg surgery dog and other dog with congestive heart failure. Thank you, Lael, for making our vacation worry free!”


10. Maria O.

“Maria was excellent!! She is very respectful and responsive to messages and requests. She took wonderful care of our babies and pampered them with play and love. This was the first time we had ever left them and Maria made sure we had pictures and updates every day. We will definitely be asking her to take care of them again 🥰”


11. Lauren S.

“Lauren made our first time using Rover a great experience. Our dog was very comfortable and well cared for. We will definitely be asking her to stay with our dog again.”


12. Barry T.
“Barry T. is a kind and caring person with a deep love for animals, as shown by the way he adores his own dog, Braxton. He has a natural ability to connect with pets, providing them with gentle, attentive care. His calm and patient demeanor makes him an excellent choice for a pet sitter or dog walker. Anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate caregiver for their pets would be lucky to have Barry, he truly treats every animal as if they were his own!”


13. Audrey B.

“Audrey did an incredible job taking care of our dog and cat! She sent regular updates and I was always assured that our pets were in great hands. We came home to the house just as we left it and the animals as happy as ever.”


14. Kylie F.
About: If you’re anything like me, your fur babies are some of the most important things to you. Leaving them behind is hard, and trusting a stranger to take care of them is even harder. Your pet is your baby — which is why I aim to provide them with the same level of care that you give them! I am an experienced dog owner, trainer, walker, and sitter with over 6 years of experience. Some of my special skills include administering oral medications via pill or syringe, adapting to various temperaments from wary senior dogs to energetic puppies, attuning to body language, and providing first aid if needed. One of my own dogs struggles with severe separation anxiety, so I have a wealth of experience with giving daily oral medication, lowering distress levels, and compassionately discouraging resulting destructive behaviors. I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m a night owl, so I am happy to provide late night or last minute care when able. At this time, I am unavailable for constant-care visits. Most of all, I aim to always communicate clearly and consistently, and be reliable. When able, I prioritize meet-and-greets with you and your pet before services begin so that we can establish a relationship and work together to set expectations. I’m comfortable with kenneling, am always vigilantly monitoring to ensure safety, and I value giving your pet adequate attention when around. Even if your routine is unorthodox, I am open and willing to try it! Not to mention, I find it important to ensure tidiness and maintain organization by putting things back where they belong.


15. Dakota P.

“Dakota did a great job, loving on and taking care of Sam and Milo while we were gone. We will definitely use her services again in the future.”


16. Lauren M.
“Lauren is so kind and caring towards anll animals. She is dependable and trustworthy. Very attentive to our pets needs. You can count on Lauren!”


17. Morgan S.

“Dogs were extremely happy when we got back! Morgan sent us photos the whole time and was very communicative with us while we were away. Will definitely have her watch the dogs next time we go out of town.”


18. Tori M.

“I don’t want y’all to steal my girl but I can’t deny Tori is the absolute BEST!! She was responsive and compassionate she treated my Odie with love and care. Sent lots of pics with them out and about the park she followed my instructions and when she left she made sure my home was in pristine condition. She can’t be beat. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!”


19. Abigail F.

“Abigail was great. The dogs all loved her and she seemed to have no problems with 3 big energetic boys. She was very respectful of our home and we would absolutely have her sit again.”


20. Shelby P.

“Shelby has been more than amazing for my two little senior puppy dogs and my kitty cat. She sent photos and texted me very regularly. And I could see that my little pups were very happy. And my house is absolutely amazing! Never thought I would come home and find my house cleaner than what I left it. She has done an amazing job, over and beyond what she needed to do. Thanks so much, Shelby!”
