“Jo is absolutely fantastic! We were nervous, since we’ve never used Rover before, but Jo sent us regular updates and pictures and it was clear our dogs were in great hands. She came over to meet the dogs before we left, and when we got back our dogs were happy and stress-free! I promise you will not regret booking Jo for your next trip!”

11. ANDREW R.
About: I Have taken care of pets all my life. My family and friends have always been surrounded by their presence. I enjoy taking care of them and giving them all the love that they deserve. I know all pets have different personalities, some are more playful, some are more peaceful. Some trust more than others. Whatever the case is, I am patient to get to know them and understand their needs. I am very blessed to have my wife next to me always loving the pets that surround us. We have pet sitter many times together and is just a bunch of love around. We love that! It makes us more happy than we already are! One day even our future babies will enjoy that with us too! I am currently only attending college online so I have plenty of availability. I have time throughout the week and sometimes the weekends too. I will always try to work it out. Plus my wife is always there for me, so she can always take the times that I cannot. I do not have any pets so if I was to receive pets in my home they do not have to worry about other pets. That way they are more comfortable!


12. Samantha L.
“I’d trust Sam with my doggo no question. She is a loving dog mom that has watched my dog plenty and he always has a great time. She has always been helpful and responsive with a big yard that my dog loves. Anyone that trusts Sam with their dog should rest assured they’re in good hands.”


13. Hack W.

“We had a fantastic experience with Hack! He came out early to meet the dogs and sent photos the whole time we were gone. I’d absolutely work with him again.”


14. Lauren F.
About: I was raised in a household full of cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, and fish so I have pretty great experience with various animals and get along well with any kind of pet. I work full time but I'm very close to home and often stop by during my breaks. Work will not be a big issue with devoting my time and attention to pets. Pets take high priority in my home as well as the clients home. I make sure to schedule and follow through with feeding, potty breaks, and any necessary exercise.


15. Jacob S.

“Jacob was amazing with Pua! I would say he went above and beyond in taking care of her and making sure that she had everything she needed. He was very attentive to her needs and was easily accessible.”


16. Andrea H.

“Pets are family and this was just the second time I left my fur babies home with a sitter - for an entire week this time. Andrea was amazing and took wonderful care of my pups and cats! Communication was on point. Knowing I was missing them, Andrea took the time to send me pictures while we were gone. I was able to relax and enjoy a vacation with my family without worrying because I knew my pups were in good hands. If you're looking for a sitter for your fur babies, I highly recommend Andrea!”


17. Jessica T.

“If I could give more stars I would. Jessica is an amazing house sitter. She took care of our sweet girl, sent loads of pictures, and was just a joy to interact with.”


18. Laura L.

“Laura was a fabulous sitter. She was great with communication, and most importantly took care wonderful care of my pups! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing services and will be a repeat customer in the future!”


19. Robert B.

“Robert and his fiancé were literally amazing…. I don’t use Rover much, and due to some extra circumstances had to seek (and prefer) someone stay in my home to watch my two dogs. This was a first for me. To say my furbabies were “taken care of” is an understatement. They not only loved on both of my dogs in the way that I hoped, but respected my home and then some— I did allow (and preferred he brought his partner and their own dog with as well) and the pups played for days like three peas in a pod! I will 100%, absolutely, * pawsitively ;) * use them again if they’re still in the pet sitting game— hands down, before considering trusting anyone else. Thanks R,M, and C for helping us through a difficult time when we needed it most. It’s so much appreciated!”


20. Liesel S.
“Liesel is trustworthy, reliable, and provided exceptional care for my boys! They gave me peace of mind while I was away, and my pup clearly loved their company. Highly recommend!”
