1. Guliser "Julie" B.

“So fantastic! I have 2 large dogs and they both loved her! She asked all of the right questions and sent a detailed report! Highly recommend!”


2. Priscilla W.

“Priscilla was wonderful with our boy Cooper and gave him all the love and belly rubs he wanted. She’s a true delight and will be using her services again!!”


3. Katie C.

“Katie was friendly and respectful with prompt communication and she made time to meet us before my trip even though I had to book somewhat last minute. She was flexible with her schedule and showed up on time or early for every visit, followed all instructions and even brought in packages for me. She was sweet and patient and comfortable handling my high energy dog. Would recommend to a friend!”


4. Erin D.
“Erin has been my dog sitter for a couple of years. Anyone who meets her, dogs included, will immediately notice her calm and caring demeanor. There were two occassions which Erin dog sat that might have been difficult for someone less competent. The first time, our house was in disarray from renovations. All of the furniture had been moved from the family room to the living room so the carpet could be replaced. Meanwhile, the floors in the room above the living room were also being replaced, and the workers stepped through, creating a hole in the ceiling. Erin stayed in our home: covered furniture, construction dust, and a hole in my ceiling, keeping company with my dog in a chaotic environment. Another time, right before Erin was to come over and dog sit, my dog tore her ear chasing a squirrel into a sticker bush. The vet recommended pumice powder to manage the bleeding. Erin didn't flinch at the injured ear or the additional care our dog needed that day. She sends text updates and photos while she's dogsitting. You and your dog will adore her!”


5. Jennifer M.


“Jennifer was very kind to provide pics of her daughter playing with Charlie and of her walk. Charlie was happy and calm when I returned home which meant the world to me. And the floors were dry which meant she did all her pee and poo her walks! On a personal note, you'll never meet another woman who loves animals as dearly as Jennifer. She's my first recommendation for animal care, always. Thanks, Jen! <3”


6. Madeleine D.

“Maddie is a reliable, responsible pet sitter and is very attentive to our pets. I feel safe with her in my home and my pets just adore her. Maddie is polite, courteous and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs!”


7. Chelsea O.

“Chelsea was great! Throughout our vacation, she sent us so many photos and updates on our pets. It was clear that Chelsea was great with all of them: the cats and the bird loved her! Additionally, she went above and beyond. Our neighbor dropped off something unexpectedly, and she brought in the packages and mail. Couldn't have been happier with her!”


8. Katie W.
About: I've been in the veterinary field for over 10 years. I'm comfortable with administering medication, fluids, or any other medical needs your pet may have. I'm comfortable handling any medical emergencies that come up, and am well-versed in first aid. I'm also trained and very comfortable handling any behavior issues your pet may have. I work 3 overnight shifts per week, so my days are free and I have 4 nights off per week. I'm used to having a hectic schedule taking care of my own dogs and cat, so I'm comfortable making a busy schedule work. I take care of my patients like I'd want someone to take care of my own pets, and I do the same with my pet-sitting clients. I know how hard it is to leave your babies in the hands of a stranger, so I do my best to make sure you are always updated and aware of how your pet is doing.




9. Stephanie F.

“What a challenging beginning to our trip. It was really a comfort to get the info and pics, and to know that all was well with June. Thank you!”


10. Vera R.

“Vera stepped in as a last-minute replacement, and I’m so grateful she did! She followed all of my detailed instructions and was very intuitive with my persnickety cat. She also sent very charming and kind updates. Highly recommend!”


11. Laura H.

“Laura is a delight! I am so glad Ted and I found her on Rover.”


12. Jill D.


“Jill was amazing. I contacted her at the last minute and hired her sight unseen based on her reviews. My puppy Charli is everything to us and I am SO excited as I feel we hit the jackpot having found her!!! I have peace of mind knowing if I need to be away from Charli, Jill is the perfect fill in for Mommie?”


13. Kadriya B.
“Let me start by saying that Kadriya loves the neighbor's dog, Buckuss. She always walks him, and takes care of him on occasion, if the neighbor's need a pet sitter. When she was 18, our friends and neighbors at the same time asked her to take care of their dogs during their 3 days trip. She visited the neighbor's dogs 2 times a day and walked them, fed them, played and even stayed for an extra time just to keep them a company. Dogs were waiting for her to come and visit even after their owners came back.”


14. Jessica & Joseph A.
“I’ve known Jess for a long time, and I can confidently say that she’s one of the most responsible and caring people I know. Over the years, she’s taken care of my dog on multiple occasions. Jess is super attentive and loving and I’m always impressed with how above and beyond she goes. She’s also owned multiple dogs herself and has always been a great owner from a young age. Highly recommend to anyone in need of a compassionate, responsible dog sitter!”


15. Ally M.

“I was very pleased with Ally pet sitting for me! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and was very informative of how dogs were doing while I was away and sent adorable pics which are always appreciated when your away! I will definitely re-book Ally for any future needs.”


16. Kaylynn G.

“Kaylynn was great with our 7 month old basset hound. She took her out and gave her some exercise each visit. Kaylynn also sent us pictures and updates on how each visit went! Highly recommended!”


17. Lindsay D.


“Overall, I would rate Lindsay as a good pet-sitter. Prior to our vacation, she was very timely in responding to my messages and she also modified the Rover.com charges to a very reasonable rate for her visits with our 2 cats. It was while we were gone that I felt she fell short. My first issue was with her inconsistency in providing updates on the visits - there was a photo and thorough recap on the 1st day, but on subsequent days there was less detail and on one day there was no update at all. My second issue was with the timing of her visits. I had made it very clear that it was important to check in during the early afternoon, but at least twice she didn't visit until the evening. My third issue was with attention to detail - I had left very specific notes about the cats' food/water/litter and it didn't seem that she had followed them. Lastly, my greatest concern was with the well-being of our female cat and her being bullied by the male cat in our absence. We came back to find that she had a facial injury and had urinated in a chair out of fear. All-in-all our pets were reasonably cared for, but I was definitely disappointed. Lindsay is a very nice girl and I'm sure she had the best intentions. I think the issues may have been due to lack of experience or perhaps I wasn't clear enough on stressing the importance of certain things. (To those reading this review, please note that I have very high expectations for the care of my pets and I think Lindsay is absolutely capable of meeting the needs of a less demanding client.)”


18. Thais O.
About: I've taken care of my dogs since I was a kid. I love animals so much I became a vegetarian 9 years ago. Currently I take care of my cat at home and occasionally of friends and neighboors dogs and cats as well. New at Rover :) I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and kittens! I'm available on weekends and weekdays after 1pm. I'm very careful with my cat at home. I feed her according to our schedule, I play with her as much as time allows and give her all my love. I will take care of your pet like it was mine.
