1. Erik C.
“Erik was on time, and friendly..I really liked him he was great with my dog, and cool to chat with. I'd definitely book with him again and I'd definitely recommend him.. thanks so much for looking after our Hammy and our home..”
2. Ari H.
“Ari, is the greatest! Ari made us very comfortable immediately coming into are home and taking care of Cooper. We were able to get him at the last minute, for Easter. Additionally, he came from the same community that we were living. We are new to Rover and because of his professionalism we will be a future customer!!”
3. Joanna M.
“We have hired Joanna twice now for our geriatric, three-legged dog. She is great and sends pics throughout the stay. Our dog needs to use a cart for his daily walk and meds twice a day and Joanna had no trouble with handling that. Highly recommend!”
4. Ryane & David L.
“Ryane and Dave have sat for our dogs a couple of times and they're great. One of them is a tempramental chihuahua, but they handled him no problem at all. They bring a wealth of formal education in various types of animal studies as well, which gives them a level of understanding of animal behavior that far exceeds most petsitters you're going to find. Definitely recommend!”
5. Jennifer S.
“My friend Jennifer has been an amazing dog sitter for my dogs when needed. My dogs love her and she is great with them at my home or when she takes them to her home.”
6. Susannah & Richard D.
“Richard was on time, he was great with my dog. He even walked him, I appreciate that a lot as it wasn't a requirement.. Thankyou for being so great..I'd definitely ask them to watch Hammy again. Susannah was not feeling well today so we didn't get to meet her this time..”
7. Samantha G.
“Samantha was great with our two male siblings. They are not always the easiest to get to know, but her calm demeanor got us off to a great start. We intend to use her again!”
8. Ryan M.
“Ryan house sat and watched our two dogs for the first time. He took great care of the dogs and house. It was nice to come home to happy dogs! Will use him again!”
9. Bryanna A.
“I found Bryanna to be a responsible person who cares and goes beyond just a dog sitter. Your pet is your family and she understands how important that is for pet owners. She will love your animal and your animal will love her.”
10. Katie H.
“Katie G is a true lover of all types of critters and is a great trustworthy dog sitter. She was great handling our big German Shepard, Bronco, who can be quite the challenge especially when he spots a squirrel on the trail during a walk! It was great having a reliable person who we could feel confident leaving Bronco with when we are gone. Would definitely hire her again!”
11. Aimee K.
“Aimee was absolutely wonderful. She tended to the special needs of our aging dog with great attention. She also took wonderful care of our home, watered our plants, and left it even tidier than before. She was also incredibly patient with some malfunctions we were having with our alarm system. I was delighted to have Aimee here, and would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you Aimee!”
12. Kat D.
“Dear Pet Parents, I am joyous to tell you that my best friend since childhood is the first person I would ask and recommend as a pet sitter because of her lifelong love and connection with animals. Throughout our friendship, Kat has specifically devoted her time to horses, dogs, sea life, and of course cats! As a certified cat lady, I trust Kat with my own fur babies’ lives🫡”
13. Jessica D.
“Jessica has taken care of Lua (our 2y/o cat) many times when we are away. She's so caring and living towards her, that even though Lua is not super friendly with other people, she loves Jessica! We are so grateful that we have someone that we can totally trust to take care of our baby.”
14. Stacy A.
“Stacy was great! There was excellent communication before she watched our two dogs, and we felt very confident with her experience. When she was watching the dogs, she communicated regularly and made us feel at ease. Stacy even swept up some leaves in the area where the dogs do their business - a nice touch. We will definitely be using her again.”
15. Anali R.
About: I had taken care of 8 parakeets and a dog when I was little. I’ve also taken care of dogs from my previous coworkers and family. I’m currently finishing my last semester of undergraduate and have Monday, half day Wednesday, Friday and Sunday free. I’m flexible with having dogs at my house or at your home. I have a fenced yard that is a pretty good size for small and big dogs. I love taking dogs on walk that can last up to an hour! If the dog is energetic, I love playing tag or play catch.
16. Ashlyn K.
“Ashlyn has such a huge heart loving on dogs and cats! She is very responsible and will spend all the time needed with your pet and treat it like it was her own. You will not be disappointed!”
17. Anna D.
“Anna was super responsive and checked in frequently during her stay, will definitely book again!”
18. Mesgana A.
“Mesgana was fantastic. Our girls loved her from The moment they first met her at the meet and greet (which is unusual for our standoff-ish Akita) We came home to our normal dogs happy to see us but not that desperate “where have you been?- energy” Mesgana was so conscientious and took care with the whole house! I had to reach out regarding some deliveries during the trip and she handled that with grace even though it wasn’t at all what she signed up for !”
19. Crystal C.
“Crystal was great! Most normal dog sitter I’ve met! Everything was perfect. She was responsive, clean, fed the dogs, walked them. They were happy and everything was in order! I’d like to have Crystal as our exclusive dog sitter in the future! I do recommend!! Thank you Crystal!!”
20. ava p.
“Ava is awesome! She met Nala before the actually day just to get to know her (I’m so glad she took the time to get to know Nala) and watched her just like we would have at home (I’m sure even better). Thank you Ava for your great service! I know we’ll need your help sometime soon.”
