“Mindy did a great job with our cats and making us feel comfortable leaving them. She also helped with extra things like bringing in mail and packages, will definitely book again in the future!”


2. Alicia R.

“Alicia absolutely cares about my cats!! Her work ethic is way above average. Follows directions precisely. And most important, she takes the time to treat each of our 3 cats as individuals,, understanding their different personalities n needs. She respects our cats, house and us, giving us updates and keeping communication with us at all times. I feel complete peace of mind leaving my cats and house under her care. She gets an A+”


3. Bekka D.

“Bekka was so wonderful to work with and took the best care of our kitties while we were gone! She went above and beyond in making sure everything was tidy when we got home and she sent us lots of pictures which we really enjoyed seeing while we were gone. We will definitely be booking with her again!! You’re the best, Bekka!!”


4. Saíra O.

“Saíra was great! My boys loved her and she took great care of them. Very communicative as well. Highly recommend!”


5. Candace Y.

“Candace was great with my cats. She checked in on them for a week while I was out of town and made sure they were okay. She took the time to play with them and her communication is great. I would definitely recommend her and hire her again next time I’m away. She is very dependable. Thank you, Candace!”


6. Tessa W.

“I recently took a trip overseas and had to leave my cat home for a week. This is the first time I've been away from her for more than one or two days, so I was very nervous. I can say with utmost confidence that I wouldn't have enjoyed my vacation as much as I did without Tessa's help. Nymeria's not been around many people other than myself, so I knew it'd be difficult for her to adjust to someone else, but Tessa was incredibly patient and understanding with her. She never tried to push Nymeria's boundaries and always made sure each visit was as stress free as possible. Even though the area where I live was going through nasty weather, Tessa made sure I got to see some photos and videos of my cat each day during her visit. Knowing that Tessa was making sure Nymeria was well fed, had plenty of water, and a clean litter box lifted such a weight off my shoulders. Not to mention Tessa also works at a veterinarian clinic! I couldn't have asked for anyone better to watch over my fussy cat when I couldn't be there. Honestly I can't thank Tessa enough!”




7. Angela D.

“Angela was great with our kitties, Zeus and Aurora. She was friendly, caring and awesome at taking care of their food and litter boxes. Our boy showed his belly for petting and our girl, typically shy, came out for visits. Our cats were happy, so we're happy. Angela is trust-worthy, dependable and a great animal caretaker. We would highly recommend her.”


8. Cindy H.

“We had a meet & greet with Cindy previously and really appreciated the way she interacted with Willow. Last night we had her do 2 drop ins and she sent pictures both times. It was so easy to set up as Cindy was very quick to respond. Our evening away was worry free thanks to Cindy. We will definitely use her services again!”


9. Brittney T.

“Brittany was very responsive and helped us in a pinch! I loved receiving photos and could tell my doggo enjoyed her as well!”


10. Isabella C.

“I could tell how much Isabella loves animals and was completely confident that she would take the very best care of my baby girl. Willow was in good hands and I will definitely book Isabella again.”


11. Allie S.

“Allie did a great job taking care of our cat Missy”


12. Cheryl V.
About: I’ve owned dogs since I was 17. I raised Cavalier King Charles Spaniels for 22 years. I have also owned a Siberian cat for several years. I have written references that I can send to you upon request. I am an Uber driver so I can set my own schedule around your needs. Unfortunately I cannot have any pets in my new apartment. I am happy to come to your home where your pet will have less stress than going into a strange environment. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your pet.


13. Latona G.
“I can't recommend Latona G. highly enough as a pet sitter or dog walker! Latona has an undeniable love for animals and a natural ability to connect with them. She's taken care of my pets in the past, and I could see immediately how calm and attentive she is with every dog she meets. Whether it's going on long walks or just offering lots of cuddles and attention, Latona treats every pet like they're part of her family. She’s reliable, kind, and always goes above and beyond to ensure pets are happy and well cared for. I trust her completely with my pets, and I know she would offer the same exceptional care to anyone's furry friend. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, compassionate, and passionate about animals, Latona is the perfect choice!”


14. Rebekah K.

“Excellent sitter, kept us informed and great communication. Highly recommended and would use again.”


15. Kailey B.

“Kailey was awesome! Sammy love her and seem to learn to quit jumping on people while he was there. Definitely will use Kailey again.”


16. Brooklyn R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs practically my whole life. It’s one of my greatest passions and most of my life I would dogsit for anyone who would let me growing up. I would love to make sure all of the animals are safe and well cared for while their owners are gone. I currently go to school and work part time, but there is most certainly time for me to fit in helping these families with their animals when they need it. I do live in an apartment complex but I have many years of experience with walking dogs of all kinds so I could walk it when needed. As for as toys, a crate or bedding at my apartment, I don’t have much of that, but could get some if needed.


17. Melissa K.
“Melissa is an sweet and very responsible. Currently she owns 2 dog and 1 cat. One of her dogs was given to her by a couple who said the dogs was amazing, but she ended up having behavioral issues. Missy’s patience and love has paid off and her dogs Percy has stopped destroying things and is much better behaved around strangers. I would totally trust that my animals would be loved and safe in Missy’s care.”


18. Michelle L.

“Awesome visits! Lots of pictures of her snuggling with my pooch!”


19. Hannah R.

“This was my first time using Rover and first time finding a sitter in my new area after a recent move so I wanted to be sure I found someone who loves cats and would take good care of them while we were away. Hannah was very reliable, prompt and communicated updates and pictures at each visit. She let me know about anything I would need to know with our pets and with our home (such as when our power went out and went it came back on, or how well they were eating or interacting with her). She also gave medicine to one of our kitties each day. Hannah was easily available by phone and was even able to add in an additional impromptu visit to make sure our babies were safe and taken care of (on a holiday weekend I might add!) Her love and concern for our babies was apparent. We will definitely book with Hannah again next time we need a sitter! Thank you! 😊”

About: I’ve grown up with German Shepherds my entire life and am confident in my ability to take care of dogs of all sizes. I have helped my mom police train one of our German Shepherds who is 7 years old. We found out she had an auto immune disorder a few years ago and we have her on medication for it. She may not be as physically fit as she used to, but very loving. About a year and a half ago we got a puppy German Shepherd, which training is, and will be always in progress. He very much makes life exciting. I have also walked dogs for family friends who physically couldn’t walk them anymore. I also have walked dogs for those who have long hours and find it difficult to give their dogs the exercise they need. I have taken care of friends dachshunds and black labs often. I am very good with helping animals with special medical attention and want to give every dog the love they deserve and the love they give us. As a college student, I do have breaks in between my classes and a flexible schedule. Some of my class times interfere with the pre-set times, but I am very available and will be flexible with what your pet needs! My personal pet, which is a hedgehog, loves to get out later in the evening and run around his pen. I take special care with his food to prevent/help with dry skin. I also check his heat lamps often to make sure he’s at a steady temperature. I house sit for my parents often and usually take care of both dogs (very specific medicine for the older dog), both cats (insulin for the diabetic cat), and socialize and exercise my hedgehog daily. Caring and spending time with animals is very important and can/will take a long time. I put in the effort to make the animal as comfortable and happy as possible. I always want to make sure my animals have the time they deserve to be loved on. I check on my hedgehogs heat lamps often, as well as take special care with his diet to ensure healthy skin. One of my family’s dogs has an auto immune disease which leads to very specific medications that she needs to take in the morning and different ones at night. I walk both dogs daily. Our cat also has some medical issues as well as an injured paw which we wrap nightly. If your baby is healthy, or requires special attention with medical needs, I am more than happy to help them! Every fur baby deserves all the love we can give them.
