1. Hannah J.
“I was so happy to have Hannah taking care of my pups. Any time I tried to get in touch with her, she got back to me right away. She always sends cute pictures from every visit. Hannah J even took a picture of my outdoor cat that hangs around the house.”
2. Shelly G.
“Shelly was great with my 2 year old Pitbull Dalmatian mix, I highly recommend! Shelly came for a meet & greet on very short notice & impressed me immediately. She was very gentle & comforting to my timid, reactive, & nervous momma from the 1st moment they met! Shelly is punctual, trustworthy, & very good with communicating (even checked how many treats she should be giving?) to owners! I will 100% sure have Shelly sit for my baby again! Thank You Shelly!!”
3. Mary Kay G.
“Mary Kay was attentive to all my pets’ needs and was very sweet with them. She followed my drop in instructions perfectly and was very punctual. I appreciate her interest in treating them and giving them additional care beyond Cholula’s basic need of a potty break. We are so fortunate to have her services weekly moving forward.”
4. Michelle Y.
“Michelle is absolutely wonderful and made us feel comfortable right from the start. She was very interactive and kind with our dog. Very reliable, trustworthy, and a great communicator. She really took the time and extra care with our dog. I really appreciated how attentive she was and that she took the time to encourage play with my senior dog. Would highly recommend her.”
5. Shylah H.
“Always the best! My cat has new expectations of me because of how wonderful Shylah is with her. 1000% recommend. Will definitely call on her again.”
6. Cydnie S.
“My dogs love her, including my chihuahua who takes a long time to warm up to new people! Such a huge help having her let my little guys out in the middle of the day. Highly recommended! 👍🏽”
7. Heather J.
“Thank you, Heather, for once again coming through! I love the updates, photos, and most of all, the quality care. It feels much safer knowing you're dropping by.”
8. Callie B.
“Callie does an incredible job watching my 3 cats whenever needed. She keeps me well informed and allows me to rest assured my fur babies are well attended while I’m traveling. I can tell she provides care motivated primarily by a love of animals! 10/10, would recommend!!”
9. Yvonne R.
“Yvonne was amazing. My cat Ares absolutely loved her. Even when he first met her, he ran up to her and rubbed on her!! Lol She sent me photos daily of them playing together, which I totally loved. She feed him and changed his little box while I away. She even switched up his food because he dislikes eating the same food everyday. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She deserves 100 stars!! I will definitely book her again!!”
10. Kori T.
“kori is the absolute best!! this is the second time we have used her to watch our kitties. she sends a ton of pictures and always makes sure to play with them and give them love!! will keep going back to her:)”
11. Colleen R.
“This was my first time using Rover, and Colleen was amazing with my two cats! She spent a lot of time socializing with the more social of my two cats, and by the end of our vacation, she had managed to befriend my super skittish cat, which is a feat. She was nice enough to deal with a few hairball and thrown up food situations while I was gone, provided me lots of news, updates, and photos. For once, my cats aren't super mad at me after coming home from a short vacation! 😸😸”
12. Alisha B.
“Alisha has been my go-to pet sitter for years, and she’s always incredible! Moose, my dog, is usually pretty anxious and reactive, especially on walks, but he absolutely adores her. She’s so patient and knows exactly how to handle him—he always comes back from his walks calm and happy. Even P, my cat, who’s usually more reserved, warmed up to her fast. Alisha keeps me updated with pics and messages the whole time, which makes me feel super at ease when I’m away. She really gets them both, and I couldn’t imagine trusting anyone else with Moose and P. Highly recommend her!”
13. Kelly W.
“Kelly was amazing with my two cats and took wonderful care of them while I was gone for over a week! She sent regular photos and updates and I felt so happy seeing my babies so well care for. Both my cats were extremely healthy and happy when I came back. I would highly recommend her and will be using her services again!”
14. Kristen W.
“Kristine takes awesome care of my dog Mittsy, she is always so happy to see her!”
15. Pattie J.
“Pattie is the most loving, devoted dog mom you'll ever see. She spent years caring for her own flock of pampered and loved dogs, who lived to be upwards of 15 and treated like her own little puppy children all the while. She regularly took them to the doctor, to play dates with other dogs, got them fancy food and treats, toys, and plenty of attention. Grade A candidate for caretaking a puppy”
16. Jill B.
“Jill was so great! She was able to check on my pups when I had a last minute cancelation with another sitter (not a rover). She was so kind and even took the time to meet the boys before. During her visit she was very observent and took great care of my boys! Will be booking her again in the future!”
17. Cassie U.
“cassies did great with my dogs they appeared to be happy in the pictures she sent. we will be remebering her the next time we need someone to stop in on our dogs!”
18. Peyton K.
“Peyton has watched my dog a few times while I was out of town and as hard as it is to leave him, I know he's in good hands when she watches him. She sends pictures to update me on how he is doing and makes sure he gets plenty of play time throughout the day. You can tell how much she loves and cares for animals.”
19. Nichole S.
“Rover.com To say that Nichole loves animals would be a understatement. Nichole has been around animals most of her life and over the past few years she has gotten involved with the animal rescue and rehab community. She has helped find homes for domestic animals that were discarded by their owners or orphaned when their mothers were killed. She also works to rehab wild baby animals so they can be released back into the wild. You won't find anyone that loves animals as much as Nichole does. R. Federick”
20. Porfirio & Tímea R.
About: I bring ongoing dedication to the profession and treat each and every individual/family member as a bright addition to my life. All experiences are treasured and completely long lasting. School starts September, until then I have availability around the clock....overnight sitting is only a call away, and I am flexible when it comes to my weekends. I have had experience as a safety patrol, thus I am alert and very confident when it comes to dog walking. As for the term "caring" I am pretty verse. I love animals and would do anything for them, and my previous profession was in health care, so doing things for others is my forté. I am a free bird this summer, full availability. I can manage mutliple bookings in one timeslot, no rush, no worries. I will get to everyone. Of course priority rules. And the owners will always be aware of schedule overlappings. I am happy to say that I am well versed in pet care techniques and dog walking attiquet and formalities. If there is a special place you would like me to walk your dog, that can be arranged. I am open to walking at specific areas/parks. On a side note, I am familiar with dog-cat interactions and am aware of unsettling/warning-signs. I'll do whatever it takes to make both part-ies more comfortable during the stay. The days that are filled with availability is very flexible, in the sense that there is shared responsibility amongst us and splitting up and making it all work--confidently, makes us efficient. The kind of person that we are is very pleasing to the every day client. We are the thoughtful and understanding person that can be relied on. This is key in making a first impression, and work-client relationships-- that will last for a lifetime.
