1. Jada P.

“I was so nervous having someone else in my home that I didn't know but Jada came and met me and my zoo ahead of time. She was great and sent me photos and messages at every visit! Definitely will book with her again!!”


2. Ashley T.


“Ashley was wonderful! Super communicative and just helpful all around. I knew it was going to be a good fit when our dog actually ate her food while Ashley was dropping in. That is a rare thing for our old girl. Thank you Ashley!”


3. Josilyn N.

“Amazing help!”


4. Jeweliana W.

“Jeweliana is professional, communicative, and courteous. She was patient with my shy cats and allowed them time to warm up and get comfortable with her. Both my home and my animals were very well taken care of while I was away.”


5. Meghan B.

“This was our first time having Meghan care for our two kitties (big cats). My first comment is, she is a blessing. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were without a cat sitter shortly before going out of country for over 2 weeks and were more than a little stressed. Luckily, we found Meghan who not only was available but made us feel totally at ease. She is a great communicator and goes the extra mile. I can't say enough good things about her. We will definitely continue to have her care for our kitties for all of our future needs.”


6. Hampton S.

“Highly recommend. Caring, considerate, and proactive.”


7. Mia T.

“I was really impressed with everything about how Mia took care of my pets. I booked several drop-ins for a weekend for one cat and one dog. Scheduling with her was a dream! This was really helpful because the trip was last minute. While she visited with the pets, she made sure to leave lots of notes and photos through the app which made me feel reassured that everything was fine. There were no accidents while I was gone and I came home to a house in perfect condition - nothing was torn up and both pets had full food and water. It can be really scary giving someone access to your home and pets. Mia made this process feel safe and took incredible care of my pets. I would highly recommend her as a sitter and intend on re-booking for future trips.”


8. Anna D.

“Amazing and super great with the dogs. She’s very attentive and great with communication. The dogs were happy and I am super content with the care she provided. Will recommend 10 out of 10!”


9. Ashley W.
“For as long as I can remember, Ashley has always loved and been around animals. Growing up, she has loved and cared for dogs, cats & hamsters of her own. She understands the responsibility associated with owning a pet (i.e. keeping up with their shots, dental & flea treatments, walking them, house training them, crate training, picking up after them, etc.). She's truly loving towards all animals. Even though at present she doesn't have a pet of her own (within the last 3 years or so, her furry best friend, Bruno (he was a chiweenie), passed away and is resting on her mantle), she often dog sits her grandmother's 4 lb. Yorkie, Patches, a/k/a Little Bit or LB whenever she goes out of town. It's nothing during Ashley's evening walks for her to see neighbors walking their dogs and feel the need to stop, talk & pet each one of them along the way. Ashley's bubbly personality and genuine laughter are incredibly infectious and make her stand out from the rest!”


10. Hailey M.

“Hailey was amazing with Sabbath! She sent us lovely updates every day and gave our sweet cat all the attention we could ask for while we were away for Christmas. We are grateful, thank you!”


11. Leslie A.


“Leslie did an absolutely amazing job dog sitting my pitbull. She was polite, professional, and courteous in all communication that I had with her. I will definitely use and her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. My house was in better condition than when I left! She kept me up to date daily each time she visited my dog. She even sent me photos of him and her playing. If you need someone to trust with your animal, no one is better than her.”


12. Stacia E.

“Stacia was wonderful with my Billy. He is missing his sister who passed away recently. She gave him lots of love. She also was graceful with me when the key was not where it was the last time. I appreciate her!”


13. Haley Q.

“Haley was so sweet and easy going. She came by before hand to meet Daisy and learn all about her needs and did a great job taking care of her while we were away. Highly recommend her!”


14. Kayley L.
“Kayley lives for the animals. All she wants to do is make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe. Honestly the animals in her home are probably taken care of before she takes care of herself.”


15. Courtney D.
“Courtney is the absolute best dog owner & would take care of anyone's fur babies as if they were her own! She is incredibly responsible, kind & honest. There would be nothing but comfort knowing she was taking care of any cats or dogs. Courtney would make an amazing asset to Rover!”


16. Juana S.

“Juana rolled with the punches even when my dog tried to redecorate my house! She communicated so well and I was confident my animals were well taken care of.”


17. Aijah S.
“Aijah is a wonderful pet sitter! I was in the process of moving and I had to rehome my Blue Heeler, Duke, temporarily. She was very quick to volunteer in keeping him until I was established. Time was of no concern to her because she watched my baby for weeks until I was able to have him in his new home. She made sure she contacted me daily and sent me pictures of him constantly. She made sure my dog’s needs were met! I can say she truly is dependable and a true dog lover.”


18. Rose C.

“First time using Rover. I initially had anxiety leaving my fur babies but Rose relived all of that, sending pics to me and keeping me informed every day. I’ll certainly be using Rover again and I’ve already been telling people about the service.”




19. Johana M.

“Johana was great! She replied to my booking request almost immediately and offered to come meet the cats the following day. She showed that she is comfortable with providing our cats with their medication in the specific way that it needed to be done in. One of my cats can be a little challenging at times so it was reassuring to know that she supervised him taking his meds. Johana also played with our younger cat. Overall I was able to enjoy my short trip knowing my cats are being taken care of and loved having the every day photos during Johanna's drop ins!”


20. Brianna S.
About: My name is Brianna and I have a very special place in my heart for dogs. I have grown up with large and smaller breeds since I was born. I currently assist my family in taking care of two elderly pugs, two younger pugs, and an English bulldog. I have full availability currently and have plenty of pet care experience, not only personally with my own dogs, but with several other families’ as well. I am able to feed, bath, walk, run, take to the dog beach/park, cuddle, and give endless attention to your furry loved ones! I am available to stay over night and house sit as well to keep your dogs in a comfortable environment. I will also make sure to leave your house the way I found it, if not cleaner! Thank you for your time and consideration. I hope to meet and take care of your fur kids just as they were my own.
