1. James L.


“James was extremely helpful and caring for my cats. He was responsive and very understanding. Highly recommended to everyone and will be using him in the future.”


2. Ashley H.


“Ashley was great! Super communicative and always on time for the drop-ins. She consistently sent photos and updates in the report cards, and was always quick to respond to any messages. She even stayed overtime some days just to give my cat a little more company, and helped us out when our apartment needed to do a last minute inspection. Would definitely book her again!”


3. Aaron & Katherine W.

“Aaron & Katherine were so lovely to Buddy, they sent me videos and photos while I was away from my little guy, which I super appreciated! Would highly recommend as your next pet sitter!”


4. Karen B.

“Good communicating and dependable. She did exactly what was asked and there were no issues! Thank you”


5. Natalie G.

“Natalie was amazing with my cat. During our meet and greet my cat, who usually hides from most everyone, actually came out and let Natalie pet her. Natalie also took detailed notes about my cat's care and habits. I was much less anxious after that. Natalie sent updates every day, which included pictures and a description of the visit. I was happy to see that my cat would actually come out and socialize with Natalie while she was visiting. I would definitely recommend Natalie and will use her again.”


6. Melissa G.

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Melissa and all she did to take care of my 3 cats while I was out of the country for over 2 weeks. Not only did she send daily photos, she sent very thorough Rover cards which really helped comfort me in knowing my kitties were being well cared for. She went above and beyond and is the only sitter I have ever had in about 7 years that has been able to coax my particularly scared kitty with a neurological disorder out- he wanted pets and attention from her which was just remarkable. I will absolutely work with Melissa again and highly recommend anyone to her! All the stars!”


7. Kristin & Greg L.
“Kristin has been caring for my pets for over a decade. She is dependable, kind and trustworthy. My little Morkie pup, Fergie, perks up every time she sees her. Kristin has also taken care of my bird in my home while I have been traveling. I have peace of mind knowing that in Kristin’s care, my pets will be cared for, loved and highly entertained! I absolutely recommend Kristin for your pet care needs.”


8. Alicia W.

“I highly recommend the Rover App and especially Alicia…she took great care of both our Goldendoodles who can be neurotic in new situations but they loved her. She figured out very quick what toy each one liked and played with them. She loved on them and talked sweet to them and eased their anxiety. She gave them their treats and filled their bowl with ice cubes and fresh water. She was equally as good with our Cat who is old and not very friendly at times. She won him over and sent me pics of him laying on his back letting her scratch his tummy…he looked very happy. She sent me several pics of all my fur babies from each of her visits which gave me peace of mind while on vacation. An entire week is a long time for me to be away from my fur babies but honestly they looked very happy with Alicia. I plan on using Alicia again and taking vacations more frequently now that I know my fur babies will be in good hands ?”


9. Emma S.

“Emma is a great pet sitter. She was punctual and responsible taking care of our cat. We were slightly surprised how soon and how much our cat loved her. Definitely recommend her.”


10. Haley R.

“Haley was outstanding on her care for our furry child. From the moment she met our dog she knew how to handle her, since she is a very nervous and protective dog. Haley asked many questions to provide the right care for our dog while we were away, and was very great following instructions for the care of our dog. It was the first time we left our dog behind on a family vacation trip, and we were very anxious about how to get the right care for her. Haley did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend Haley's dog care services and we will count on Haley to care of our dog for our future family trips.”


11. Brittany T.
“Brittany has always had a strong passion for animals, she’s always had a huge heart and she treats them second to none. She always gives them the best life they can have and gives them lots of belly rubs! She’s one of the few people in life I can say with confidence will not get angry with an animal, regardless of the circumstances. I’m purely confident she can take care of any pet from a Great Pyrenees to a Ferret.”


12. Suzanne W.

“Suzanne communicated well when setting up a meeting time before we left. When we returned the cats seemed well cared for. Very good experience.”


13. Karen G.

“Second time with Karen - she again took great care of my cat and was thoughtful about dishes and trash. Great communication. Totally recommend!”




14. Heather W.

“I could not have been happier with the care and attention Heather gave to my dog while we were away. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our dog was well cared for. She was very detailed in her updates and I loved seeing pictures and reading her summaries of what went on during her visits. I would highly recommend her services to any pet owner.”


15. Ryne D.
“Over the past few years Ryne has watched my dog Lucy when I leave town. Lucy absolutely loves Ryne! He expresses the love and care as if Lucy were his own. Lucy's food and water is always topped off, and receives walks whenever I request. Best dog sitter in town!”


16. Steven G.
“Steve G is an amazing, hard working and really likable guy. He is great with animals and people. He has been caregiver for our 2 dogs for about 9 years. He has walked them many, many days and been overnight caregiver for a weekend at our home. The dogs love him and can’t wait to get attention when they see him. I would not hesitate to recommend him for your dear pets. You will not be disappointed.”


17. Maddison F.
About: I have a wide range of experience and taking care of dogs, cats, and any type of horse or livestock. I’ve been Dog Sitting for around five years now. I have a black lab of my own so size is not an issue. I also have experience in small amounts of training. I love any type of dog and would be happy to welcome your baby into my family of clients. Due to me being a senior in high school and doing dual enrollment my schedule is extremely flexible. If the dog is not staying at my house, I try to make multiple trips so that they’re not alone. If doing multiple visits in a day, I can accompany any of yours or your dogs needs. I have experience with creating and giving medications as well as taking them on walks. I am also available to do housesitting with your animal. I try to give as much attention as possible so that your animal does not feel too down while you’re gone. If the fur baby is staying at my house, I have a black lab to keep them company. She is extremely friendly and has never met a stranger. I have enough space to keep any size of crate if need be.


18. Jessica M.
About: Hi I have had pets for 16+ years and have sat dogs for friends over the years. I have had pets from dogs, cats to hermit crabs. I am friendly and outgoing and am proud to be your friendly neighborhood animal caretaker. I am a homemaker at the moment, most of the time I’m home. I have a young kiddo. I am not typically available Sundays, unless for Boarding a pet. I have a big home and nice yard great for animals. I have two levels of needing to be separate from my cats. I’m open to some dog walking (under 15 lb dogs)


19. Elizabeth L.
“Elizabeth is a awesome Dog lover she treats my dog as her own dog. My dog is so excited to see her when she comes by. I believe my dog knows the sound of her car coming down the road cause she is always waiting on her to come through the door. If you want a reliable sitter Beth is the one.”


20. Kristen L.
“Kristen did an exceptional job taking care of my fur baby. She was very communicative and helpful. I’m so thankful I was able to find her when I did, and she has gone above and beyond to make my pet happy and comfortable.”
