“Tyler is absolutely wonderful! So trustworthy and caring. We have an older dog with a very strict diet and needs medication daily. She is the only person we have left him with that he seems to come home healthier than before as she is so careful with his needs.

9. Nicholas P.
“As a dog walker on Rover myself for the last two years and a lifetime animal owner, I have a good understanding in what to look for in an animal caretaker. Nicholas would undoubtedly be a great choice for anyone’s animal. Nick is a level-headed and responsible young adult, who, for as long as I’ve known him, has been extremely passionate about the health, safety, and care of all animals. I have seen these attributes through both the display in his own relationship with his dogs and when he took care of my animals for me, countless times. He is understanding, compassionate, and a great communicator, which leads me to know how great a dog walker, animal sitter, and/or caretaker he will be! I give my highest recommendations as a friend and customer of Nick.”

11. Ross & Ava T.

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”


12. Talia C.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.


13. Ethel V.

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”


14. Jordan H.

“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”




15. Amanda E.

“Toffee could not have been happier to return to Amanda's for some last minute day care.”


16. Katelynn R.

“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”


17. Celia T.

“I could tell Goose had such a good time at Celia’s by how happy she was when I picked her up! also sometimes Goose won’t eat at daycare if she’s too anxious, but with Celia this wasn’t a problem at all! I could tell she was so well taken care of and she got along well with both Celia and her pup. I’m really happy with how frequently Celia was able to take her out on walks and how attentive she was. On top of that, Celia was super communicative and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely come back for daycare again!!”


18. Caitlin S.

“Caitlin is the best and Hamilton always enjoys his time with her!”


19. Cate M.
“Cate is absolutely wonderful and I never hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family who are looking for phenomenal petsitters. She looked after my pets while I was overseas for a month, and when I came back, my animals liked her more than me!”


20. Kyle S.

“Kyle was fantastic! It was our first time using Rover.com and Kyle made the whole experience great. He was very responsive leading up to our pup’s daycare and sent us pictures and updates on how things were going throughout the day. Zipper seemed to enjoy his stay and for that we are very grateful! Thanks, Kyle! 😊”
