4. Helen H.
“I highly recommend my sister, Helen, as a pet caregiver for Rover.com. She has been the primary caregiver for our family dog for years, and her dedication to our pet's well-being is remarkable. Helen is not only attentive to our dog's nutritional needs but also ensures regular exercise and playtime, which has kept our dog healthy and, most importantly, happy! She always goes the extra mile to make sure our dog feels loved and cared for, whether it’s taking them to the beach, the park, or on playdates. Helen's knowledge, compassion, and reliability make her an exceptional caregiver for any pet.”

I really appreciated the daily updates, videos and photos. Don't hesitate to choose Bennie and Jennie to care for your cats.”

11. Kristen C.
“Kristen is my go-to sitter for my special needs cat! Cecily has asthma, anxiety, and attachment issues. Kristen is more than equal to the task. She is a cat whisperer and, arguably, after me, Cecily’s favorite person. She is patient, responsive, and fluent in cat and reading animal body language. Kristen is dependable, responsive, and always sent me photos of Cecily while I was away so I never had to worry how she was doing. I had no concerns giving her access to my house, and she made sure the place stayed secure and left my place as tidy as she left it! Kind-hearted and energetic, I’m confident Kristen is a great carer for any pet!”

16. Matthew F.
About: I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by dogs and have lived with 3 golden doodles and one poodle, and have a lot of experience caring for 3 at the same time! My experience ranges from small puppies needing lots of attention and bathroom breaks to large 80 pound dogs. I am also well versed in administering medications and providing care for older dogs with specific needs. I wake up around 5am and am available around the clock for your dog. I am currently working fully from home and am always around to give your dog plenty of attention, walks, and playtime throughout the entire day. I am available any time weekdays and weekends and can accommodate last minute requests. I currently live with one small French bulldog who is extremely friendly and is great with other animals. She has lived with other dogs I have cared for, ranging from a tiny puppy to very large breeds. I live in an apartment next to a large park with an area for dogs to run around and play in, as well as near a great closed in path for lots of long walks!
17. Camille B.
“I’ve had the privilege of knowing Camille for the past 12 years. She is one of the most amazing, most caring people I have ever known. I’ve been able to watch her take care of her own dogs as well as others, and to say that I have never seen a better, more hands-on caregiver than her would be an understatement. Not only does she love all animals, she treats them with a kindness and respect that is indescribable. She is hardworking, responsible, punctual, professional, has the biggest heart, and treats every person and animal like family. Camille goes above and beyond any expectation, and I have no doubt that she will be the petsitter of your dreams!”

“Sarah has been absolutely amazing with our dogs, Riley and Piper. She’s not only punctual but also incredibly caring and attentive to their individual needs. It’s clear that Sarah has a genuine love for animals, and it shows in how well she handles our dogs. She’s fantastic about sending pictures and updates during their walks, which always puts our minds at ease. Riley and Piper adore her, and we’ve noticed how happy and well-exercised they are after their time with her. We honestly cannot say enough good things about Sarah. She’s exceeded our expectations in every way, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. From now on, Sarah is the only person we trust with our dogs!”
