7. Amber M.
“Amber was very friendly and asked many questions about my dog. She did exactly what I asked her to do. She took time to bond with my extremely shy dog. I was very impressed that my dog felt comfortable enough to approach Amber and allow Amber hold her during the second visit. That was record breaking for my dog. Amber is a talented pet sitter.”
8. Melissa S.
“Melissa was absolutely awesome with our guy; he has some separation anxiety so we were nervous to leave him alone for a full day trip; Melissa visited him twice and followed his care instructions perfectly! She was kind courteous and attentive to detail. She was quick to provide updates and comforting for our pup - he was a good sleepy boy when we got home. We’ll definitely book with her again!”

13. Esther K.
“Esther made using Rover for the first time incredibly easy. She was able to come by my house to take care of my cat, while I was out of town.

14. Taylor S.
“Repeat customer here! Taylor is fantastic with my kitty-boy, Ramses. I feel entirely confident, when she’s watching him, that he’s getting great care and all the pets and cuddles he wants. I would definitely recommend Taylor—I will certainly keep using her services when I’m away!”
15. Rachel V.
“Rachel will be a caring, fun, and excellent sitter for anyone looking for someone to watch their dog(s) for a while. I've visited Rachel several times with my dogs and they love her and her other companion animals who are also dog-friendly. Rachel is an animal-lover and a caring pet-owner herself, you can be confident she will take good care of your pets too.”

17. Sarah F.
“Sarah would be an amazing pet caregiver because she is one of the most responsible and caring people I know. She works harder than anyone else I've ever met and she gives everything she does 110%. Sarah has an amazing ability to multitask and knows how to manage her time and priorities. She is currently in vet school and has a lot of experience working hands on with animals of all kinds. She cares so much for animals and I know she would take extra care for the animals she is responsible for.”
18. Jordan H.
“Jordan did a great job watching our two cats for a week. I had warned her she probably wouldn’t see one of our cats, as she is very wary of people. Imagine my surprise to get pictures of her, not only lounging around but of getting pets! Jordan is really a cat whisperer!”

You are gifted and talented with arts and caring pets. Wish you all the best.”
