1. Kenna & John F.

“Our little Chandler was very well taken care of by Kenna & John! They took him for a walk, played with him in the backyard, sent pictures & even carried in our Amazon packages. We highly recommend them and will be booking again!”


2. Alyssa F.

“Alyssa was amazing! We were so nervous to leave our 4-month-old kitten at home while we were on vacation. We have an 8-year-old cat as well, who loves alone time…but our kitten needs a lot more attention! Alyssa sent so many pictures and detailed updates. We felt at ease knowing she was there! (:”




3. Jill G.

“I have used Jill 4 or 5 times now and she is absolutely wonderful! Very reliable and my dog just loves her! I would trust Jill with my animals anytime! She comes to my home twice a day to let my dog out and feed both my dog and cat and I can trust her to be in my home. I would highly recommend Jill! I was so worried about finding somebody dependable that would take care of my fur babies, but I hit the jackpot!”


4. Vicky S.

“Vicky is amazing with my dog. I contacted her for a last minute home visit (she had taken care of him a few months earlier) and I am really glad she could fulfill my request. I highly recommend her services.”


5. Annie J.

“I have looked at Rover a number of times in the past and have always been hesitant to use it. I wanted someone I trusted would do a great job with our dog Tucker . When I read Annie’s profile, she struck me as a genuine and compassionate person. Annie met and exceeded my expectations! I would have her watch our dog Tucker again without hesitation!”


6. Georgia M.

“This is our second time using Georgia to care for our 4 kitties while we are gone. She has been great each time! Our boys are well taken care of and we’ve had such peace of mind knowing someone is loving our babies in our absence.”


7. Peggy P.

“I don't typically leave a review after the first visit. However, after a string of lackluster sitters, Peggy was a breath of fresh air. She was very attentive and followed my cat's care instructions to the letter. She even kept an eye on a few concerns I had with him which brought me comfort during my trip. I loved the update notes and photos from her visits with Barney. My cat was the happiest I have seen him upon returning from a trip in a long time. I hope to book Peggy again in the future, and I highly recommend her.”


8. Cara V.

“Thank you so much Cara! You are the best. Me and Luke are so grateful and blessed that we found you. Thanks again and have a great week. See you next week.”


9. Shannon N.

“Shannon was amazing! . I've never used a pet service before because of worry but Shannon's amazing care plus se ding photos of my very happy dog, made me feel relieved. Shannon was very punctual both visits and showed care for my geriatric dog. Will definitely book again. She's worth it!”


10. Kat E.

“Our dog Pepper liked Kat immediately. She is has a very gentle way with our dog and she gave us a very detailed report of the time she spent with our dog. We would definitely hire Kat again!”


11. Chris & Erika O.
“CJ and Erika have cared for my dog, Millie numerous times I have went out of town, and I can’t recommend them enough! They were incredibly caring and attentive to my pup’s needs, and provided regular updates/pics of her time with them, which gave me great peace of mind. They have a dog themselves, whom is such a sweet girl to my dog and myself. If you are looking for reliable, loving and responsible caretakers for your pet, these are your people!”


12. Renae D.

“Renae does an excellent job with our four rescue sheps. They can be challenging because they are all rescues. She uses common sense to overcome any issues. The pups respond well to her and she ensures their needs are met. She is also an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond. We will continue to book Renae for future services.”


13. Kelley J.


“This was my first time with Kelley but I was impressed with her when she came for a meet and greet. She's calm and self-assured. She spent some time with the dogs and the initial visit went well. She arrived promptly at our scheduled time and sent me a detailed report with lots of cute photos. I'm fortunate that she lives close so that it's not an inconvenience to come during the day or in the evening. I've already scheduled another appointment with her!”


14. Sarah L.

“Sarah is a perfect example of what a pet sitter should be like. She is kind, communicative, cautious, thorough, and genuinely cares about the job she is doing. This is my first time using a pet sitter and with having professional background myself in pet care and doggie daycare and boarding, I was hesitant to hire someone knowing that there are some people who don't take this field of work seriously. Sarah completely dissolved my worries and made me feel safe to rely on her. She went out of her way to make sure she established a relationship with my pets with a meet and greet and made sure she had all of the necessary information before she took care of my pets. It is a huge plus and a huge sign that my animals were their best selves with her. Absolutely will be using her services again!”


15. Megan P.


“Megan took care of our 2 cats while we were gone for 3 whole weeks. She was SO helpful and even dealt with an ant invasion that occurred in our apartment during that time. We can tell that our kitties and her bonded. Highly recommend and will definitely reach out to her again!”


16. Martina N.

“If u want to be confident that your dog is being cared for while u r away Martina is the best. I can personally vouch for the time and care she takes to make sure your beloved animal is happy, safe and comfortable while u r away from them. We hate to leave our pets. And with the illness that was going around we didn't want to take our doggy to a kennel. Knowing she was at home and in her own space was the most important thing to us. Thank you Martina. I hope u can be proud of the wonderful job you do for us.”


17. Daniel S.

“Excellent dog watcher!! It was my second time hiring Daniel and was such a comfort to travel while letting my senior dog stay at home. Daniel did great, kept me up to date with pictures and information about my dogs eating and drinking habits. Would definitely recommend if your like me and want your dog to stay in his comfort zone, hiring Daniel to look after your pet.”


18. Brittney & Cody E.

“They were willing to work with a very last-minute request and went right over to take care of our boys. Having no familiarity with the dogs, they still worked with their quirks and weren't afraid to ask questions when it was needed. Like how to get Rory back inside when he really wanted to keep playing. We are very grateful!”


19. Jaclyn J.

“Jaclyn was an amazing first experience with Rover! She was professional and spent time with my pets, sent me pictures, and made me feel they were loved and well cared for in my absence.”


20. Alison W.
“Alison is a true animal lover! She has cared for our dogs and cats with nothing but TLC. She is mature and responsible. Rest assured, your pets will be in good hands with Alison!”
