4. Harrison G.
“As our first time using Rover, it was a great experience with Harrison. Our dog can get nervous/overly excited when meeting new people and Harrison was able to calm him down with pets and attention. He was very kind, considerate and asked great questions when it came to our dog’s care and was very communicative if he had any questions or anything came up. Highly recommend!”

“Kate was great at reading my dog's needs, caring for him and communicating with me. It's such a relief to when you travel to know your canine is in good hands. My neighbors commented when I returned at how well Jasper was cared for as well, they saw him out on more walks than he gets with me!!”

9. Melia I.
“May is a great caregiver. She is kind and attentive to both my dogs and works with their unique qualities — when pet sitting for us she checks in regularly and keeps the dogs on a regular schedule and diet. It can be particularly difficult as we have a large dog and a tea cup dog with different feeding restrictions and temperaments. Our dogs love May…even my skittish senior chihuahua mix (which is a HUGE accomplishment)! I highly recommend her as a sitter/walker.”
10. Jessica W.
“Jessica has been around animals majority of her life. She is definitely a pet person, loves caring for them and actually has three cats of her own that she rescued. Yes Jessica has cared for my pets in the past and treated them with tender loving care. I highly recommend her to be a loving pet caregiver for Rover.com.”
11. Julia G.

I know my pup is in great hands which puts my mind to ease. Super thankful to have found her on Rover and would highly recommend her to others”

15. Julie A.
“Julie is a loving mother to her boxer lab, Maizey. She adopted Maizey six years ago and has since developed a genuine fondess for all dogs. Julie prioritizes Maizey's feeding schedule and walks her multiple times per day. She gives Maizey lots of love and cuddles everyday and brings her to dog parks and beaches where Maizey can interact and play with other dogs. I have watched my mom, Julie, develop such a fond passion for taking care of dogs throughout the past six years and has even stated that she believes her purpose in life is to care for dogs.”
16. Sam S.
“It is obvious that Sam animals. She is very caring and responsible. We have had her watch our dogs multiple times and she is always our first choice because our dogs love her and are always excited when she comes over. She is great about following the schedule we have in place, very punctual and communicates well. We get pictures while we are gone and she will reach out if there are any questions or concerns. We LOVE her!!”
17. Susan L.
“Susan is the best! She takes great care of our dog.”
18. Carla V.
“I met Carla V in the fall of 2021. At the time she lived in walking distance from my home. Since I was new to the neighborhood and having no family living close by, I asked Carla if she would watch my dog while I was away for a week. Bo, my newly acquired dog at the time, was a rescue from Georgia. He was not an easy dog to care for. Bo is a mixed breed off Border Collie, some field bred hunter species and Pit, but very loving. He had just turned three when I got him in 2020, and although weighing only 50 pounds, was pure muscle and needed an assertive exercise program. Also, because he had harsh beginnings in Georgia, I needed to leave him with someone I could 1) trust, 2) was comfortable with rescue dogs (her sister was a trainer), and 3) was a firm, but very caring, handler. Bo loves Carla and, to date, she has stayed with him several times. Carla is not just a dog sitter, she’s a surrogate “dog-mom” to Bo.”
19. Kevin C.
“Kevin may have been a dog in a former life, because he just couldn’t be any more outgoing and friendly and he is full of energy for those long walks! My dog Pax always looks forward to his walks with Kevin, and I appreciate how reliable and responsible Kevin is, too. I love the fact I never have to wait on a response, he is always quick to reply and sends me great pictures of their walks whenever I ask!”
20. Seth W.
“Seth is wonderful! He is dependable, great with dogs and communication. He is happy to answer any questions I have, even when they are redundant! He is consistently on time and always reachable. My pup Max absolutely loves him!”
