1. Gary M.

“Great job. Dogs and house were well cared for. Gary kept in touch and sent pics.”


2. Dawn E.

“Dawn was fantastic!! She took incredible care of our three puppies. This was our first time using Rover and our pups are very shy of strangers, after just a few days they were cuddling up to Dawn! She sent us videos and pictures daily and was just awesome. We only scheduled her to stay through the morning but when our flight was delayed she stayed late into the afternoon!!! She is just and incredible person who I would definitely recommend and will book again!! Outstanding, above and beyond in every way!!”


3. Tara M.

“It was apparent during our meet and greet that Tara loves animals and all of my animals seemed comfortable with her. She had no problem giving medication to one of my animals. She sent pictures and updates while I was gone. I would definitely use her again if needed.”


4. Max L.

“Max is one of the best sitters we’ve had! Communication with max was quick and easy. He sent me updates on how my dogs were doing and when he arrived. Max was gentle and understanding with my barky and insecure pit bull. Aldo really warmed up to him quickly and felt comfortable with him. Will definitey rebook Max in the future.”


5. Whitley J.

“Whitley was wonderful. She was patient with our dogs when she arrived, allowing them to get comfortable with her. They adapted to being with her quickly and it was clear they enjoyed their walks with her. When we returned home, the dogs acted normal.”


6. Glenda H.
“Hello and good day, I'm writing you this testimonial today on behalf of Glenda and her amazing spirit and heart. She is a mother of two and also has had past pets that I know she has loved dearly. My dog Izzy doesn't just let anybody watch her but she feels safe with Glenda and I know that she is safe in her hands. That being said I know she would be a great future Rover caregiver.”


7. Nelly G.

“Received regular updates to let us know our pups were safe and happy. Greatly appreciate professionalism and care given to our dogs and home.”


8. Autumn T.

“Autumn has watched my dog and cat several times, and takes such good care of them. I know that my furry kids are in great hands with her. My dog Evan has severe separation anxiety, but Autumn gives him so much love that he is able to work through it. For this past booking, I had some scheduling changes and asked Autumn at the last minute if she could stay three additional nights. She immediately accepted, giving me such peace of mind. She sends tons of amazing pictures and updates. We are so grateful to have found her!”


9. Valerie S.
About: ...and I’d love to take your dog with me! I love being outside more than anything, so dog walking is a natural, joyful choice for me. I’m a long distance hiker/trailrunner and rockclimber. I’ll take your pup on the trails and/or go running with them if they’re up for it, or we can stick to the roads for less active/mobile pups! Let your pup accompany me on some outdoor adventures! Mastiff, pit bull, golden, or pomeranian, I’m excited to meet your four footed friend! I work remotely, so I’m a great match for drop in care and dog walks. I have reliable transportation and would love to take your dog on adventures with me, and spend time keeping your cat company! When I come to take your dog out, I’ll always be respectful of your rules and routines. I’ll make sure to take water along if necessary, and always bags to pick up waste. For cat care, I enjoy spending some quiet time letting cats get used to me and keeping them company. If I’m dropping in on your cat, I’ll always check the litter box and water bowl to make sure your cat will be comfortable until the next time I come by!


10. Stasia Y.

“Stasia stayed with my dogs over Thanksgiving and I will be a repeat client. She was communicative, caring, and considerate with my dogs and home. My pups were happy and content when I returned home.”


11. Henry H.

“Henry cared for Gracie Mae and Max well. They seemed very happy when we arrived home. Henry was good at getting back to us with questions about the dogs and he provided the extra walks we asked for - which I feel is so important t to keeping them in their routine and giving them some outside exercise and stimulus. Very happy to have had Henry care for our dogs - he seems very adept at handling big dogs and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him.”


12. Diana L.

“Diana did a super job taking care of Ruddy and our home while we were away for a week. She kept us posted frequently and sent plenty of pictures? But most most of all, we could tell that Ruddy had been well cared for.”




13. Patricia S.

“Patricia was fabulous and very communicative! So sweet with my pup. She was also very kind and flexible with understanding all of my travel delays and cancelled flights. 10/10”


14. chad p.
“Chad did great with my dog! he seems to really care about the animals and loves them. great communication/updates as well. i would certainly recommend, thank you!”


15. Ck B.

“Ck B. did a great job of house and pet sitting for me. My precious pup, Luna, warmed up to Ck very quickly. Ck is a consumate professional and I am very appreciative that she spent considerable time at my home, while I was out of town. I also appreciate Ck's due diligence to my pet's care and feeding, as well as her sending me photos of Luna to keep me informed. I will definitely request Ck for future house and pet sitting.”


16. Erich E.
“Erich is an excellent dog trainer. I have watched the transformation of his own pup (Louie) go from undisciplined, bad mannered, over excited, and easily frightened to almost service dog level in just a few months. Erich is also great with my dog (Kaya), and has taught me how to correct a few bad habits we have, which cleared up fairly quickly. I know Erich loves spending time with both his own and other peoples four-legged friends, whether it’s walking, training, playing, or just relaxing. I definitely recommend him.”


17. Juliette C.
“Julietta is a genuine and intuitive pet care giver who really loves animals. I have known Julietta for the last six years and have trusted them to care for my animals during this time. I can always trust that they will take care of my pets as well as I care for them. I have two older dogs and one older cat and Julietta has accommodated the extra needs they have as senior animals. They have great communication skills and have kept me in the loop about any updates or concerns regarding Rosie, Terrance, and Chauncey. I highly recommend Julietta to anyone looking for a pet care giver.”


18. Myra P.

“Myra took great care of our pup and home. Happy to have her back soon!”


19. Deanna I.
About: Experience with rescue dogs, aggressive dogs, feral dogs and cats, puppies, kittens, seniors, and special needs. Comfortable giving medication or handling disabilities. Experienced with most livestock. I work from home so my schedule fits anywhere with an internet connection. I am able to stay home with pets all day and night. I follow the pets' normal routine according to your instructions. I provide a continuity of care so that nothing changes in their day to day.


20. Pam C.
“In a sea of inexperienced teenagers and wannabe dog owners, Pam rises above the rest. I've known and used Pam for years as my dog caregiver simply because she is the absolute best. As a lifelong dog owner, she knows everything when it comes to diet, exercise, discipline, medication, and playtime. I rest easy on vacation knowing that my dog is having her own vaction when she is with Pam. I assure you, you will not find a more loving, responsible, and compassionate caregiver on this site.”
