“Nicole and her whole family could not have been sweeter or more accommodating! She picked up Stanley at our house, sent great pics of him playing and cuddling with her boys and other two dogs, and I feel pretty sure he loved living with them and their many beautiful wooded acres! I would recommend Nicole and her family to anyone who has a sweet and active dog!”

“Excellent care and communication! We have an extremely spoiled and clingy German Shepherd who we have a hard time leaving. Jenae was awesome at calming our dog (and us) down. Great communication and pictures while we were away. Highly recommend and will happily use again for pet sitting.”


9. Jared W.

“Jared was absolutely fantastic! This was our first time using Rover to have someone watch our dog, and I'm so glad that we chose him. We have a very large dog (about 130 pounds), and she often gets nervous or scared around strangers. He was confident right from the beginning that he could care for her, and that made me much more comfortable. He provided updates on how she was adjusting and sent pictures. She had a great time! I would definitely recommend Jared to anyone, and I'd be happy to have him watch my big girl again! Thanks Jared!”


10. Kara C.

“Honestly, there aren’t enough words to express my appreciation for Kara. I had a last minute trip and Kara graciously accepted my request to take care of my dog for over a week. She’s seriously one of the best dog sitters I’ve ever met. She was in constant communication with me, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my pup. Most importantly, my dog looked so happy around her! She treated my fur baby with nothing but love and affection. Her constant updates made me feel at ease, and she went above and beyond to work with me after some unexpected delays in my trip. Kara — a million thank you’s! I cannot wait for you to take care of Niña again. Thanks for everything.”


11. Bethany B.

“Bethany is a wonderful dog sitter and an animal lover! So glad we met her and she did a great job caring for our pup.

Without hesitation I recommend Bethany to care for your pet! She is kind, caring, and trustworthy.”
