1. Christina S.

“Christina is a 10/10 babysitter she provides photos and updates throughout the day, great communication and kind. We would rehire her in a heart beat!”


2. Dayja R.

“Dayja was great! She house sat and watched our dogs for us. She was very communicative and sent pictures and videos while we were gone. We will definitely book her in the future!”


3. Shannon O.

“I had an amazing old furry friend who grew quite feeble: he was 19. Near the end he needed to get up multiple times a night and I grew tired but needed to sleep because I needed to make big decisions about how to best love Max as his life was ending. I asked Shannon to watch him at my place. He was more excited to see her than he had been in weeks…that was a good night for him! I could hear her getting up with him and once came down to find her sitting outside with him…in January! I knew she would dote on him. Max had strong opinions about who he did and did not like and she was one of his most favorite humans. Who could give a higher recommendation?”


4. Doh H.

“This is the second time Doh has house sat for us and I couldn’t be more pleased with her care of our pet. We were out of the country and I didn’t worry about our fur baby at all. She sent pictures and videos of him several times each day. We will continue to have Doh care for our pup whenever we are traveling.”


5. Melinda L.


“Melinda came over for a couple hours in the morning on a short notice to watch my dog. She was on time and very kind to Reo. Definitely recommend and will use her again.”


6. Rachel H.


“Really grateful for Rachel's help! She was fantastic with our dog Charli and helped us keep great tabs on our two cats. She provided us with several pictures every day throughout Charli's walks and wore him out with a 45 minute walk and 15 minutes of playtime! I wish she could have stayed with us longer but it was quite a drive for her. She's super friendly and very accommodating and always let us know if she had a schedule change. Would definitely hire her again in the future! ”


7. alexis e.

“Alexis was great! She was super friendly and went the extra mile to make sure my dog was comfortable and ate his food! She sent lots of updates and pictures too! I would recommend her to anyone and plan on using her on our next trip!”


8. Danielle M.

“Danielle took great care of our hounds and our home. She was great at communicating with us, and letting us know how things were going. We would not hesitate to use her again.”


9. Fatima C.

“Fatima was AMAZING with our dog (2 years) and 4 cats (6 months to 15 years). Our oldest cat has medical needs that were taken care of the whole trip, our high-energy dog was so happy with walks and frisbee, and our house was spotless when we got back! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same without someone like Fatima to ease our worries. We received tons of pictures the whole time, and she even left a cute thank you card on her way out! I would definitely recommend her to anyone. Thank you again!”


10. Hayley M.


“Hayley was great with our dogs! We loved the frequent communication and pictures while we were away, and Hayley was great about answering any questions we had. We’ll definitely be asking her to come back next time we have to be away.”


11. Elizabeth H.

“Elizabeth was absolutely amazing in every way! She gave our dog so much attentive love and care, wonderful communication, and went above and beyond in making sure he was cared for while we were away. She is the best!!!”


12. Hannah B.

“This is not our first Rover experience, but it was our best! Hannah was in constant contact with us texting pictures on walks, while eating and playing. She made us feel like our fur child was being well cared for. On returning, we found a happy and healthy boy and a house that was in great shape. Hannah will be our go to dog whisperer and sitter. Our Mowgli really felt at ease in our absence with her. Thank you, Hannah!!!”


13. Piper W.

“Piper was great with my rambunctious, one year old Doberman! He has a lot of energy and Piper didn't miss a beat taking care of him for my work trip! He was very happy to see her! Thanks again, Piper!!”


14. Kayden K.


“Kayden is exactly what you need if you’re worried about leaving your pup. He was communicative providing us updates and easing our hearts. He stayed in our home for 3 days and we can’t even tell he was here besides his notes and picture updates. We’re so grateful for Kayden and treating our senior pup like the queen she is.”


15. Olga S.

“Olga was wonderful! She watched our puppy on a holiday last minute and did an amazing job. She took some great photos too. We would definitely trust Olga again to watch our dogs.”


16. Matt B.

“Matt did a fantastic job keeping an eye on my kitten and home for the duration of a weekend, including overnight. He was awesome with his communication, updating us with photos and messages regularly as well as being prompt in response when we had any questions or were just checking in. Our home was pristine and our kitty was a happy camper when we arrived back. Would unquestionably ask Matt to keep an eye on our little guy or home again in the future.”




17. April T.

“April was fantastic! Very responsive from the beginning and she sent pictures and updates while we were gone, which is so appreciated. She was great with my pets and with administering medication to my senior dog. Most importantly, my dogs loved her!”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child. Friends and family have relied on me on feeds,walk, bathe for their pets. :) . Any day I have time for is the week and weekend any day I have time for pets :) I love spending time with pets. :) I have fenced gate, have one pet small dog so that your furring puppy has some company. I treat my dog as if it’s my child, I also treat your pet like my child.


19. carol b.

“Carol offered a meet and greet prior to sitting which showed initiative and is something we always do. When our original dates needed adjusting she was understanding and flexible, both very positive traits. She arrived on time, was prepared and gave them their daily long walk in the neighborhood. She obviously enjoys the dogs and they were happy to stay in her care. We received pictures and updates while away and we’re 100% satisfied with her services. We recommend Carol and will use her services in the future.”


20. Jessica A.

“Jessica was AWESOME. She went above and beyond to take good care of our pets. We would love to have her back again when we are in need of a pet sitter. With 2 large dogs and 3 cats to care for and entertain she was amazing at keeping up with them and getting to know each of their personalities to better care for them. Thank you Jessica for allowing us to be gone and enjoy our time away knowing you were taking such good care of them.”
