“Christina made drop-ins on my dog Wilson while I was out of town! She made sure he had bathroom breaks and spent time with him during the day. I got photos of each visit! She was great!”




2. Michaela S.

“Michaela has watched our dogs while we have been away for a few trips over the last year. Every time she cares for our pups, she does an excellent job! Her communication is very thorough and it leaves us with peace knowing that our pups are all good. She goes out of her way to provide us with photos of the dogs and she even takes the time to love on them during the visits. Couldn’t be more thankful for her and the amazing work she does!”


3. Brandi W.
“If you are worried about your doggie worry no more. Had this young lady watch my dog and walk my dog for three days. While my wife and I were away on a trip. She was so into our dog. She did an amazing job spending a ton of time with Reese our chocolate lab. I would highly recommend her for your dog sitter needs. Mark”


4. Hailey N.


“Hailey was amazing! I had her watch my cat while I was out of town and she was VERY communicative and always sent photos/videos and an update every time she made a visit. From the photos and videos it looked like my cat was very comfortable and happy! It felt great to know that even though I wasn’t at home, my cat was in great hands and I was able to enjoy my vacation without stress.”


5. Melissa M.
“I have known Melissa for 5 years. I have been around all her animals and she does such a good job at taking care of them. I would leave my animals with her. She is a good pet mom. She would be great at this job.”


6. Emily E.


“Emily was so attentive to Jiji's needs, and communicative at every step of the way. I'm so glad I had her to look after my feline daughter. Highly recommend!”


7. Heather S.

“Heather is fantastic! She took excellent care of our cats, Henry and Liza. She is thoughtful, caring, and our cats loved her immediately. We wouldn't look to anyone else to care for them for now on. Thanks, Heather!”


8. Jaclyn N.

“She accepted my last-minute request and gave me detailed updates on how my cat was doing with a photo! My cat seemed happy when I got back. Thank you”


9. Taylor K.
“Taylor is the absolute best and most dedicated of pet sitters I have ever had. Taylor is outstanding at being there for your pet in every way because of her caring, loving, and positive energies. I feel always reassured and happy when I know our furry friend, Clifford, is with her. As he is having fun, being taken care of and getts all the walks - plus cuddles time he loves getting. Taylor always makes sure to update and reach out on how he is doing or with any questions. Again, she is outstandingly amazing and goes above and beyond! I feel safe and calm when my furry friend is with her, always!”


10. Ronald H.
“Ronald caring and fun! Pets instantly feel comfortable around him, especially dogs. He’s attentive to their needs and detail-orientated. I always feel at ease knowing my cats are in reliable hands!”


11. Janelle B.

“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”


12. Isabelle R.

“Isabelle took care of my two 14 y/o dogs for 7 days while I was away. She visited 3 times each day to feed/water/walk. I’m very particular about who I allow to watch my dogs due to their age but I was able to travel worry free thanks to Isabelle. Highly recommended.”


13. Lily D.

“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”


14. RA & Steven V.
About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!


15. Angelica C.

“Angelica was great with my dog, she was on time and caring. Would definitely book again!”


16. Amanda M.
About: I have a gentle approach when it comes to pet care, Im extremely sensitive to their needs and prioritize their happiness. They won’t feel like they’re around someone new at all!! I have a full time job but pet care is my part time job and a personal joy. Incorporating pet care into my routine stabilizes and rejuvenates my schedule!! Since I offer housesitting, I can assure you that cleanliness is one of my utmost priorities and I can leave the home better than I found it! I’ve housesat many times in the past, so combining pet care with that is an easy addition.


17. Lydia K.
“Lydia takes my dog on walks and runs whenever he needs to get rid of some energy. She is great at playing games with him in the house when she watches him. She’s extremely reliable and punctual, you can trust her with all your dog needs.”


18. Kylie P.

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”


19. Corinne B.

“Corinne is great with our cat and a wonderful sitter! Always timely and very great at communication.”


20. Shelby D.
“Shelby took great care of our two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, played with them, and was all-around very conscientious. They were not fussy when I came home, so I know she made them feel taken care of while I was gone.”
