1. Angelina R.


“Angie was wonderful. She was so kind and patient with penny who can be shy and anxious. She was very communicative, sent lots of updates and pictures and clearly knows a ton about cats, their behaviors and how to keep them comfortable. She went above and beyond helping us to troubleshoot our litter robot while we were gone and ultimately fixing it. She also left our home in excellent condition, just as we had left it. Highly recommend Angie and she will be our go to from now on.”


2. Patience P.

“I can’t say enough about how great Patience was with the dogs! I’m sure they felt they were on their own vacation! We have dog with medication needs and she was totally on top of it! Sent pictures and video updates! I think the dogs only complaint is that she left when it was over!”


3. Lori H.

“Lori and Daisy had a great time! Lori kept me informed while I was away with sweet photos and texts. My apartment was in great shape upon my arrival home. Bed linens washed and replaced, kitchen cleaned up and all dishes put away. I will definitely ask Lori to stay with Daisy in the future! 😊”


4. Andrew C.
“I have been using Andrew to pet/house sit and sometimes to just walk our dogs for over 10 years. We have a golden retriever (had two) and two cats. He is super reliable and responsible. Takes the dog on much needed long walks and spends time with the animals. We never have to worry about our animals when we have Andrew. They are in good hands. Have to say he always exceeds our expectations. That's just the kind of guy he is.”




5. Lucy G.

“Lucy did a great just watching our 2 dogs. She sent me photos and videos of my dogs often, was quick to respond and my dogs loved her!! We look forward to having Lucy come back in the future!”


6. Riley W.

“Riley was great with our senior dog. We got regular updates and the house was left in great condition. Will definitely be looking to book with him again!”


7. Octavia G.

“Octavia took such good care of our 3 pups while my family and I were out of the country. She contacted me with any questions, sent lots of pics/updates, and the house was clean and tidy when we returned. I highly recommend Octavia!”


8. Alex M.

“Alex was great. We found out last minute we needed a dog sitter and he was able to fit us in. In addition, our hot water heater went out the day before he was due to house/dog sit. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a plumber to fix it before we left. When I told him, I was afraid he might cancel understandably. But, he just rolled with it. He was so ok with it that it totally relieved my anxiety about it. The dogs loved him, the house looked great when returned and I am so grateful he was there.”


9. Brianna D.

“Brianna was able to watch our pets for a weekend very last minute when a friend had to cancel, even doing a meet and greet the day after I messaged her! She was very accommodating and took good care of our pets and house.”


10. Janet Q.
“My mom has taken care of my kitties the past 20 years, she is a loving lady with special cat senses. Is great with senior cats, familiar with medications, special diets and special behavioral needs. Always reliable and goes above and beyond!”


11. Lauren F.
“Lauren is just fabulous! Always on time and extremely conscientious. Great communicator and its obvious ate loves animals. Highly recommend to anyone needing pet care.”


12. Sydney K.

“Sydney did an excellent job of caring for my pup, Tucker! She provided updates and her communication was spot on throughout the process. This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience.”


13. Vicky S.
“When Vicky pet sits for me, I have zero worries! I am able to take a real vacation knowing my cats are safe and perfectly cared for. She pays special attention to the details, such as their likes and dislikes, to ensure their comfort. As a bonus, she will send pics and/or video along the way. Vicky has a special gift for caring for animals and you can rest assured if you hire her that your pets will receive the best care possible.”


14. Dasha C.

“Although I had to cancel due to my trip being canceled, for the short time Dasha checked on my dog she was very professional and very good with dogs. I recommend her. Thanks”


15. Hallie D.
“I am so grateful for Hallie staying with my dog while I was away for the weekend. She kept me up to date on how my dog was doing and helped me feel at ease! She is very responsible and attentive to instructions. She even washed the bedding before I got home!!! She went above and beyond! We will definitely be booking with Hallie again!”


16. Sophia L.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life- having two at a time. I have recently had a puppy, so I am good with all ages. I am just excited to meet more dogs! I have a full time job teaching middle school, but I would love to take care/play with dogs after my school ends and during the weekends! I am more likely to go to your home because I have two dogs. I am willing to host if needed and if your dog is friendly to others!


17. Alissa W.

“This is the third time we have used Alissa. Our dogs absolutely love her. Always on time and was willing to change her visits when our daughter came home part time. Highly recommended”


18. Rebecca P.

“Rebecca took great care of our dog and cat! She was very flexible and made sure that the pets were comfortable while we were gone. Very quick to respond and gave lots of updates!”


19. Roxanne S.

“Roxanne did a great job taking care of our two dogs and cat while we were away. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”


20. Asis P.

“This was our first experience with Rover and we were very lucky to find Asis to watch our dog. Asis did a great job of taking care of our husky-and as most people know huskies aren’t always the easiest. We were nervous about leaving Calvin but Asis made it easy. We have already booked Asis to watch Calvin for our next trip. Thanks Asis!”
