2. Sandy K.

“Sandy came over to our house every other day for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. Every single picture and message was filled with love and compassion, while she was extremely professional and courteous. The cats loved her, we couldn't appreciate her more, and will definitely request her services again. A++++”

6. Valentina E.
“like most, my dog is my world. and as pet owners we want to be able to trust that who we leave our dogs with (even if it is for an hour or two) will see that and treat our dogs as such. that’s why I cannot recommend valentina more.”

14. Kaitlin G.
About: I have taken care of animals every since I was little. I grew up with cats and dogs ans love them both! I have had big dogs and small dogs :) I’m a Nurse a monument health! I can dog walk on any days that I’m not working or mornings that I work a night shift! I can always stop by after work as well! As of now I don’t plan on in home services. I am more than willing to go to your house to hang out or play with your pets!

16. Mya O.

“Mya did excellent with our kitty, Waffles! She sent lots of pictures (which we appreciated). Our kitty appreciated the care. Communicating with Mya was easy and she also met with Waffles before I left with my trip. I would def hire Mya again!”


17. Emma F.
“Emma has provided not only gentle love and care to her pets, but to others. I have seen her care for her friend's cat, whom she would spend long amounts of time with while the owner was away for work, feeding her, making sure her litter box was always clean, water was fresh, and would then play and snuggle with her so that she (the cat) had proper socialization time while her owner was away. I have also come on walks with her as she walked her friends dog while she was out of town, and he was excited to see her, which I do believe is a good sign of her character.”


18. Sarah G.

“I’ve used Rover a handful of times before and haven’t been as satisfied with anyone as much as I have Sarah. She stayed the entire 30 minutes, contacted me the entire time, and made sure everything was how I asked. I know that Nugget was well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!”




19. Mary K.

“Mary was so great! I quickly needed a sitter for our kitty and Mary was so quick to respond. She was so nice to go out of her way before we left to meet Ouzo and get a feel for our home. She sent pics and kept me up to date our entire trip so we were worry free. I definitely recommend Mary to anyone!!!”


20. Elan S.

“Elan helped us out at the last minute and we are so grateful! He did a wonderful job and was very attentive to our dog’s needs.”
