1. Leesa H.

“Leesa was the best sitter for our two dogs that you could ever hope for! We went on a trip for my 60th birthday and she watched the house and dogs while we were gone. She took them on walks, played, snuggled, gave their meds and fed them (she even cooked some special chicken for them!) It was like they got a little vacation too! They might have been a bit mad that we didn't cook for them when we came back, but they got over it! She sent us lots of updates and pictures the whole trip. She even cleaned up and washed the linens and towels she used before she left! We Love Leesa!”


2. Monroe B.

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”


3. Rebecca T.

“Rebecca was a wonderful sitter for our dog. She was very professional and communicated with us at regular intervals while not being overbearing. Rocko takes several daily pills and has arthritis, but we felt very comfortable with him in Rebecca's care. She took great care of the house, too, even lugging in a dog food delivery that accidentally auto-shipped while we were gone. Would highly recommend Rebecca's services and look forward to using her again.”


4. David D.

“David is an excellent pet sitter! I have used him twice and have been pleased with how many updates and pictures I get! My dog is fairly shy and David gave him the time to adjust and won him over with many treats.”


5. Christina D.

“We had an unexpected trip come up and I needed a dog sitter as soon as possible. We had heard very good things about Rover! We found Christina and she was available the days we needed. She came to meet with our dog Fiona and Fiona loved her right away. Christina has a gentle, kind way with animals you could tell immediately. I had never left Fiona and I was so anxious. I am a total helicopter Mom. Christina made us feel very comfortable. She sent photos and videos of Fiona while we were away. This made us feel so relieved that all was going well. I highly recommend Christina to care for your fur baby. I could tell Fiona missed her new friend when Christina left. Thank you!”


6. Katharine V.

“Katie was the perfect choice! I booked her to watch my dogs overnight on my wedding day! She went over & beyond for me! Got them ready & drove the dogs to the venue for pictures! I knew my babies were in the right hands all day! I was not stressed one bit! Communication was smooth and very reliable! I highly recommend Katie! She truly cares for our pets.”


7. sophie l.

“Sophie was amazing with our pups. They have missed her since we got home. Dogs had plenty of attention and she even took them on a walk. Will definitely use her again!”


8. Lisa V.

“Lisa was awesome! Very calm and experienced. She kept us informed of our pups throughout her stay and was neat and tidy. We booked her last minute but she worked with us to still meet the doggos ahead of time ensuring we were all comfortable.”


9. Tyler D.
“Having Ty take care of our sweet girl was such an easy decision. She communicated frequently, did everything we asked, and made sure Ellie (our golden) was more than taken care of. I’m not even sure Ellie wanted to come home when we picked her up. She was happy & healthy. Cannot recommend Ty enough. Her sweet nature makes it easy to trust her.”


10. Petey P.

“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”


11. Claire W.

“Claire did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of my cat and tropical fish. She is an excellent communicator providing text updates with pictures. She’s also quick to respond with questions. She’s very clean and left the house cleaner than when she found it. What a wonderful house and pet sitter! Highly recommend!”


12. Jadyn D.

“Jadyn was our first dog sitter experience and we couldn’t be happier. We had so much anxiety going on vacation with a brand new puppy. Jadyn had a metal fencing for him, sent pictures and videos of him going on his very first walk and put our worries at ease. We’ll definitely use her again and would recommend her services. We appreciate making our vacation so much for relaxing. ☺️”


13. Mia S.

“Mia made fast friends with my 2 rescues! And they don’t usually warm up to strangers quickly. (They weren’t treated well by the people who had them for the first 6 months or so of their lives.) Mia kept me up to speed on their adventures while I was gone, sending me pictures and telling me how they were doing. I am so glad that we found Mia - I will definitely use her again to care for my kids! 🐾🥰”


14. Liesa B.


“Liesa kept me updated the entire time she watched Leo and didn’t mind going the extra mile. Definitely will have her watch him again next time I go out of town!”


15. Brandon M.

“Brandon was great with our mini dachshund. He sat with her for the evening while we went out. He got her to eat, which isn’t easy. We came home to a happy pup!! We already rebooked him.”


16. Michael K.
“Michael is an exceptional pet sitter and dog walker! He's incredibly responsible, caring, and attentive to all my pets' needs. His experience with both cats and dogs is evident in how comfortable they feel with him - they absolutely adore him! What really sets Michael apart is his outstanding communication and follow-up. He keeps me updated and never leaves me wondering how things are going. I highly recommend Michael to anyone looking for a kind, experienced pet care provider who will treat your furry family members with the love and attention they deserve!”


17. Victoria S.

“Victoria was so great with our puppy during his first time with us away from home. He’s very skeptical of strangers, but we got pictures of them snuggling on the couch the next day! We were able to relax on our trip knowing that he was well taken care of.”


18. Emma M.
About: Hi! My name is Emma. I’m 31 years old. I have had a passion for animals for as long as I can remember. Recently, my 15 year old puppy, Rufus, passed away unexpectedly. I miss being a dog mom and I’m hoping this will fill those voids! I treat every animal as my own, big or small. I have many many years of taking care of different types of breeds & im willing to learn about more! I currently work for myself doing instacart. I’m out and about all day. I have all the time in the world to come take care of your babies! As always, your pets will be treated as if they were my own. If caged; I will make sure they have the items they need in and out, otherwise, your babies will roam freely around my house. I do have a single level home with a smaller backyard but we have a dog park just down the street from us!


19. Alison W.
“Alanis is a compassionate & dedicated pet person. I have always trusted her with my animals. She has taken care of my dogs and cats for years and they are happy to see her come back! Her natural connection & huge heart for animals makes her a perfect person to work with any animal!”


20. Megan K.

“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”
