“Mindy was so sweet and kind! My dog who usually is aloof and takes some time to warm up to people instantly was going up to her and wanting attention! I know my babies got lots of loving while I was gone.”


2. Madeline N.


“Madeline did a great job. Place was clean and neat when we got home and our pup was happy and well cared for. She walked and played ball with him and sent some pics to keep us updated. Thanks Madeline!”


3. Emma F.

“Emma house sitted for us for a couple of days and took care of our pug Cookie. Emma was very communicative and thoughtful of Cookie’s needs and respectful of our home. She sent lots of pictures and updates to keep us informed while we were away. We definitely look forward to using her services in the future. Thank you Emma!”


4. Alyssa F.

“Alyssa did a great job watching my senior dog. She sent regular updates and photos, which I greatly appreciated. I also felt at ease since she has so much experience with pets and wants to be a veterinarian. I definitely recommend her and would be happy to have her watch my dog in the future.”

7. Milo W.

8. Ashley L.


“Highly recommended! Ashley took amazing care of our fur baby and our home. She communicated with us daily through text and photos. We will definitely be calling Ashley again!”


9. Lluvya B.
“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing Lluvya interact with animals over the years, and it’s clear that they have a natural talent for caring for pets. As a hardworking and responsible college senior, Lluvya always goes above and beyond to ensure that animals feel safe, loved, and well taken care of. She's shown exceptional dedication, whether it’s walking dogs, playing with cats, or keeping up with feeding and grooming schedules. Lluvya's love for animals shines through in everything they do, and their ability to connect with pets of all temperaments is truly remarkable. I have no doubt that Lluvya would be an excellent pet sitter. Their attention to detail, reliability, and genuine care for animals make them someone I’d trust wholeheartedly to look after my pets.”


10. Lorri C.

“We found Lorri on Rover while looking for a new sitter after moving from out of state. Our two dogs were especially sensitive after changing homes and routines, and we can’t believe the strides they made while in her care! She sent thoughtful detailed daily updates with pictures and let us know about all the “wins” she was celebrating with our very anxious pup, Pepper. It’s clear she is a natural with animals and is so patient and compassionate with them. Our house was well taken care of and I could tell our dogs were her priority while we were away—could not have asked for anything more. Will absolutely book Lorri again and would recommend her to anyone!”


11. Trisha L.
“Trisha is one of the most passionate dog lovers that I know! She regularly dog sits for friends and she has made friends with so many of the dogs that frequent the restaurant she works at! I would highly recommend her for taking care of your pet!”


12. Briana S.

“Briana was great, I've asked her to sit for my two clingy pitties multiple times and they are clearly comfortable and happy having her take care of them. And I'll be happy to call her back next time I need a sitter!”


13. Angelina S.
“Angelina is such a responsible pet caregiver. She had a special needs shelter dog that she helped get to trust people more. She puts so much effort into pets it is her passion. She has helped take care of dogs and cats of all sizes and really is a wonderful caregiver.”


14. Katelyn H.
“Katelyn is a very responsible person. She has dog sat for myself and many of my friends, and she always does an amazing job! She loves dogs and knows how to care for them very well.”


15. Sarah F.

“Sarah was the best!! Our dog was so comfortable with her and it was great to have the peace of mind of having a responsible sitter while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and videos every day and we came home to a happy and healthy puppy. We will definitely rebook with her for our future trips!”




16. Erin S.
“I recently used Erin to look after my two cats, Luna and Oliver, for a week - Erin was super thoughtful and responsible. Erin genuinely cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease. Definitely asking for her services again !”


17. Jordan H.

“Was able to step in and rearrange her schedule to accommodate sitting for my pup! Super helpful, punctual, and communicative as always! Thanks again Jordan!”


18. Matt M.

“Matt is super nice and super responsible. More importantly our doggo adores him. She can be a bit skittish of strangers, but it only took a few visits for her to come running and greet Matt. I would rebook him without hesitation.”


19. Kayliegh L.

“Kayliegh was amazing! She stayed with our dog in our house for 10 days. She sent lots of pics of our girl looking happy and exhausted after playing a ton of her favorite thing...ball! Can't say enough about how comfortable I felt knowing our girl was happy and taken care of while we were overseas.”
