“Brooke was a big hit with our dogs Moose and Nina. She dropped in on time, gave them tons of pets and treats and delivered meds with ease. Loved having her and hope to schedule again soon.”


5. Kristen M.

“Kristen was amazing: she was reachable, and very easy to work with. When my dog Petey was anxious and scared, she was patient with him and very calm. She was able to contact me with photos and updates throughout her drop in visit, and was very professional. Thanks for being so understanding Kristen!”

7. Ashley & Nick M.


“Amazing service and (p)updates from Ashley. She handled my two husky-mixes like a pro and made sure to make me feel comfortable about her own safety protocols and expectations if anything had gone wrong (which luckily it didn't!). She even cleaned up the one accident that occurred and let me know about it. All around 10/10 will trust my pups to her again!”

“Nick is awesome! He did several drop on visits with my 3 month old puppy. He kept me updated and sent me really cute pictures. Highly recommend Nick!!”

10. Hilary F.

“Hillary was great! She checked in and sent photos, keeping us up to date on everything. The cats were completely chill when we got home - clearly it was a good experience for them. We’ll definitely use Hillary again when we travel - such a relief to know the boys are in good, kind, competent hands!”

“Brittan is awesome! She made our dogs feel secure while we were away for the holidays. She went above and beyond, walking and playing with them to make sure they were happy. We’re so appreciative!”


14. Tessa B.
“I'm always super nervous leaving my dog Noodles with someone else while I'm away. I Was desperately looking for a dog sitter for Memorial Day weekend last minute, I found Tessa on Rover, and I'm very very glad I did! Tessa was great with my timid beagle mix. She sent me photos and updates reassuring me that everything was going great! I'd highly recommend Tessa for your pet!”




15. Dmitra G.

“When we moved into a new house a little further from work we weren't able to get home during the day to give the dogs a break. Finding Dmitra was the best thing that could have happened! She comes every day to let the dogs out and/or take them for a walk. It gives us peace of mind knowing that they are being checked in on and it gives our dogs the opportunity to get some energy out. Dmitra is reliable, friendly and she takes great care of our dogs. Highly recommend.”


16. Stephen T.
“Stephen is a spectacular dog-walker and was great with my cats, too. He's compassionate, considerate, and attentive to detail: he dots every i and crosses every t. I can't recommend him highly enough as a pet sitter.”


17. Jennifer S.

“Jennifer is the best thing that’s ever happened to our kitty, Helen Rose! She is so fun and so caring. Helen absolutely adores her. Helen is very social and loves to play and Jennifer wears her out but playing all of her favorite games with her. When my husband is traveling for work and I’m working full time outside of our home, it’s so comforting to know that Jennifer is caring for Helen. We also love Jennifer’s Rover cards after each visit. So descriptive and cute. Jennifer is just the best.”


18. Emily S.
“Emily has looked after dogs and guinea pigs since she was little..she is kind and compassionate and pays attention to detail . i have had my own pet business and Emily has helped with many clients . she has a heart for the senior dogs.”


19. Linnea M.

“Linnea was very responsive and helpful when things did not go exactly to plan. One of my dogs is prone to accidents and she did a good job cleaning those up as they occurred. She also helped when one of my dogs was digging a hole under the fence. She was kind, responsive, and clearly enjoyed spending time with our dogs. She followed instructions well for their care and I can wholeheartedly recommend her for drop in appointments!”


20. Gianna D.

“We had Gianna drop in for our two cats while we were away for Thanksgiving. We knew the boys were in good hands with her! She is so communicative and sends great updates. 10/10!”
