1. Kimberly M.


“Kimberly was absolutely amazing with our pup, Buddy. We knew she was the dog sitter for us when she showed up and took meticulous notes in a little notepad. He loved her and she went out of her way to bring him to both of our wedding parties and made him wear his doggy tuxedo. We are so grateful to Kimberly - she made our wedding and pictures very special. Actually in the process of booking her for next weekend too.”


2. Svetlana E.

“This was my first time using Rover, and also the first time leaving my 4 month old kittens overnight. Lana was great! Shes super friendly and nice! The kittens loved her and she sent lots of photos to let me know they were okay and happy! I would definitely use Lana again!!”


3. Claudia P.

“We love working with Claudia and book her any chance we get! She’s responsible, loving to our dogs and takes excellent care of them. We definitely highly recommend her!”


4. Lauren E.
“Amazing! Lauren took such good care of my fur babies while I was gone, and gave me peace of mind knowing someone trustworthy was home with them!”


5. Ethan K.

“Ethan was great! Called ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit. When he got here, our dog took to him right away. He was communicative and shared pictures with us afterward. We felt a lot better on our trip knowing our dog was in good hands!”


6. Brittany T.

“Brittany was amazing! She watched our three dogs overnight. They absolutely loved her and immediately accepted her as part of their family. She arranged, on her own time, to come and meet the dogs, and me, before she accepted the job to be sure it was a good fit. While we were away she kept us updated by sending us many pictures and letting us know how the dogs were doing. If she had any questions, she asked us for clarification. I would highly recommend Brittany and we will be asking her to watch our pack again I am sure.”

About: I have always loved dogs ! I’ve grown up with at least one in the household, from an old English sheepdog to a husky now I have a beagle/coonhound mix. I am comfortable with all dog breeds Im not working ! so available full time & i am looking to further my passion for animals with becoming a dog walker/sitter & possibly add photographer. I don’t work weekends so i definitely can have some fun with your dog plus mine whether its for a nice walk or a drop in visit & I'll care for your fur babies as if they were mine. I have recently moved ! the neighborhood is peaceful, so its a perfect place to take my dog or your fur baby for a walk. Also I can crate your dog if needed


9. Carla P.

“Unfortunately, I had to cancel in the last minute, but I appreciate that Carla was ready to come and take care of Tipper.”


10. Neha D.

“Neha met all our expectations .She made effort to get to know my very shy cat. She handled my indoor / outdoor cat very efficiently .. letting her in and out as needed. She also took care of the house and kept it clean when I got back.”


11. Madeline F.

“We were very happy with Madeline and felt comfortable with her in our home with Ruby. She asked all the right questions and had Ruby's best interest at heart. We appreciated Madeline's promptness in returning messages and her flexibility with Ruby's schedule. We would recommend Madeline for house or pet sitting.”


12. Brett C.
“I can't recommend Brett enough as a dog sitter! They are incredibly responsible, caring, and truly love animals. Whenever my dog stays with them, I know he’s in great hands—he gets plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles. Brett keeps me updated with photos and messages, which puts my mind at ease. If you're looking for someone who will treat your furry friend like family, Brett is the perfect choice!”


13. Miranda M.

“Miranda saved the day for us when our sitter canceled at the last minute. She was great and our dogs loved her. Very responsible and responsive.”


14. Joselyn N.

“Joselyn is a terrific caretaker / dog sitter/ house sitter. She cared for our nervous adoptee who avoids other dogs with great conscientiousness and a patient understanding. She obviously gave him plenty of attention because we got a “oh you’re back already?” Greeting instead of the “how could you have left me for so many years” one (like when we go out for dinner!). She asked good questions to make sure she understood the job and our not too easy pooch. I have no hesitation in recommending her and plan to use her services the next weekend we’re away.”


15. Alma H.
“Alma is an amazing pet sitter. She is very patient,loving, neat, organized and reliable. Alma took care of my pomeranian, husky, and two cats. All of my animals adore her and often sleep on top of her. Alma is extremely responsible and knows how to work with animals, especially dogs. For many years, Alma and her dog Chunky competed in dog competitions and took trophies home. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a loving pet sitter.”


16. Maria Beth C.

“Marie Beth was a delight to work with. She was flexible and responsive with a clear heart for dogs. We would absolutely use her again when traveling. She sent photos, took them to the doggie park and generally made them feel at home.”


17. Yana W.

“Yana stayed at my house with my puppy for five days. He's better trained than he was when I left. He knows more commands and follows them more obediently. Yana did everything I asked and more, keeping in touch regularly with reports and updates, cooking for the pup and keeping him on a schedule. I would leave my puppy with her for any amount of time. She is the first person I would ask to stay with him.”

“Ruth was amazing with our 4 month old puppy. She took her for walks, playtime in the yard, cuddled. Ruth was wonderful with communicating with me throughout the day. We will surely be asking Ruth to take care of Emma again!!!”

About: Excited to shower your dogs with love, regardless of their size! Having grown up with Jack Russels, Beagles, and Labs, I've been the primary caregiver and understand the responsibilities of being a dog parent. Handling multiple dogs at once is something I'm comfortable with. Being an active person, I'm all in for outdoor runs, playful yard sessions with their favorite toy, or just cozying up for a movie night. With a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt to you and your dog(s)' needs. Transportation is a breeze as I have my own car. As a self-employed individual working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, providing ample time to care for and engage with your pups. Living with multiple pets throughout my life has taught me the ins and outs of entering and exiting homes without any escapees. I'm also more than happy to assist in maintaining a crate schedule. Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! As a self-employed individual working from home, my schedule is incredibly flexible, providing ample time to care for and engage with your pups or kitties. I have always lived with multiple pets... so I know how to enter and exit a home without any escapee's. I also have no issues helping you maintain a crate schedule.
