“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!”
“Our kitties are in amazing hands when Priscilla cares for them. I love getting the report cards and photos. We are so comfortable when we go away, knowing that our home and boys are safe.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
“Stephanie was wonderful! She kept me updated and clearly communicated throughout the visit with my two pups. She was extremely patient as one dog is nervous and reluctant to come out for strangers. Thank you Stephanie!! I appreciate your time!”
“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!”
“Victoria was great with Layla and Adonis. She arrived on time for each scheduled day and provided excellent care to the dogs. We truly appreciate that she was available for the days requested and plan to use her again in the future. Thanks so much Victoria!”
“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?”
“Excellent reliable service.”

About: I have owned a cat for seven years, and I enjoy brushing him, feeding him, giving him treats, cleaning the litter box, and cuddling. Sometimes he comes into my room, jumps on my bed, and sleeps with me. I also walk a puppy, a bulldog, named Buckiss. I clean up after him, and enjoy spending time rubbing his belly, and playing catch. At the end of our walk, I bring him back to his house, feed him, and give him water. I follow strict feeding instructions on how much food to give, and what kind of food he's allowed to have (no more than 2 treats a day). When walking in the winter, I make sure Buckiss has dog booties so his feet don't get hurt. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time in my schedule to care for your pet! I have a pretty flexible schedule When I come to take care of a pet in my client’s home, I make sure that they are well taken care of and I do everything I can to make them feel safe, happy, and comfortable with me.
“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.)”
About: I had a dog I loved with all my heart for 14 years. I want to transfer my love for him and my free time to your little loved one while you are busy! I will love them just as you do and they will be in great hands with no worries! I am a teacher and I will have quite a bit of time coming up where I can take care of your loved one! I am open to dog walking, dog sitting, and even dog boarding! I have a 2-floor townhouse where I can do dog sitting and dog boarding. I can come to your house for dog walking if that is all you need!
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.
“Erica took great care of my two pups! She sent photos of each visit and also gave them meds. She was super caring, punctual and communicative. My two dogs are pretty hyper and she handled them with ease. I’ll definitely use Erica’s help again in the future.”

11. Kaylee B.
“When I consider pet care there are several criteria that I begin with. These include work ethic, personality, responsibility, attention to detail, and how the candidate handles my dogs. Kaylee checks all the boxes and then some. Her love of animals is obvious, but she is also firm with them. The dogs understand that Kaylee is in charge. In the end my best test is how my dogs respond, and they love and trust Kaylee. So we do too.”

16. 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.”
