11. Elisa E.
“Elisa has taken care of my dog Baxter on and off for roughly 5 years. She is loving, affectionate, friendly, and can also handle my dogs outbursts with ease. I have a 70 lb mutt and he isn't always the best around other dogs, which can make walking him a challenge. But Elisa has never had any concerns or incidents. She has also watched him overnight and I love to see pics of them cuddled up on the couch together! I recommend Elisa sincerely. My dog considers her a second parent.”

“Austin has taken care of my pup many times over the past three years. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter. One of the standout qualities of Austin is his prompt responsiveness. Whenever I reach out to him, he is always quick to reply and provide updates, giving me peace of mind knowing that my pup is in good hands. I also greatly appreciate Austin's thoughtfulness in sending me regular photos of my pup during their time together. It warms my heart to see my furry friend happy and content in Austin's care. Austin's trustworthiness and dependability are truly commendable. I have complete confidence in him to fulfill his commitments and provide exceptional care for my furry companion. Another aspect that sets Austin apart as a pet sitter is his consideration for my pup's well-being. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that my pup receives plenty of exercise. Austin's dedication to providing a positive and healthy environment for my pup truly speaks volumes. My heartfelt thanks go out to Austin for his unwavering dedication and outstanding pet-sitting services over the years.”

17. Brianne L.

“I was so nervous to use Rover for the first time and leave a stranger with my 5 month old puppy. Bri was so kind and flexible to my schedule and my puppy’s needs. She was nice enough to allow me to change the plan from boarding at her house to watching her at mine. She sent me updates and took such great care of Presley. Constant communication. It was the best first experience leaving my puppy alone and I plan to call her anytime I need a weekend Rover. Do not hesitate and book her ASAP!”

It was comforting and nice to know that while I was traveling far away, my dog was being well looked after in a positive environment. She feed Georgie appropriately, kept her hydrated, and administered medicines as needed. Great experience!!”


20. Alyssa H.

“Alyssa was terrific. She kept me updated with photos and stories of Stella. I didn't worry about her the entire time as they always kept me informed on her daily multiple walks and potty breaks. Stella slept-in this morning, so I would say they really wore her out. Thank you for taking such good care of her.”
