1. Brooklyn P.

“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”


2. Tracy E.


“Our typical dog sitter was busy for our weekend trip (we waited too long to reach out, that was our bad.) so I had to find someone else we could trust. Tracy has tons of positive reviews and was super quick getting back to me. The doggies were well taken care of. This was perfect for our short trip. Letting anyone into your home can be a little sketchy, but I never felt nervous on this trip. I definitely recommend.”


3. Lisa B.

“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”


4. Rita W.
“I’m writing to highly recommend Rita as a responsible and caring pet sitter. Rita has watched our two cats, Trixie and Carol Channing, on multiple occasions, and we’ve always felt completely confident leaving them in her care. Trixie can be quite shy, but Rita has a gentle and patient nature that quickly earned her trust. She always took the time to make Trixie feel comfortable, often staying a bit longer than expected just to ensure both cats were happy and relaxed. Her dedication and genuine love for animals really shone through. Rita was consistently reliable and communicative. She kept us updated with messages and photos during each visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear from the pictures that both Trixie and Carol Channing were calm and content under her care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rita to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. She’s been a wonderful presence in our cats’ lives and a huge help to us.”


5. Brianna R.

“This was my first experience with Rover and Brianna was great! She was flexible with all known and last minute requests while caring for my dogs at our house. She sent pictures throughout the week, communicated when she would be away from the dogs during the day and when she returned, provided updates on how they were doing, and didn't hesitate to ask questions if my notes were unclear. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future bookings. Thanks again!”


6. Cruz G.
“Cruz is the best! His 2 kitties are happy and healthy with lots of toys, nature to watch from the window, and they’re never hungry. He also helped me dog-sit for my friend one weekend and he played with him, walked a trail, and gave him cuddles the whole time. I definitely recommend!”


7. Jill S.
About: i have been a pet sitter for friends and family for many years. I have owned several dogs and cats, and I currently have four kitties as my sweet dog passed away a few years ago. I also care for/feed five feral/community cats that I worked with Humane FW to trap, spay/neuter and vaccinate, and I supply them with heated cat houses. I have experience with elderly animals as well as special needs animals with food restrictions and allergies. I currently work part-time from home and make my own hours, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet(s)! My schedule is so flexible that I am available for drop-in visits, walks, playtime or overnight stays most days of the week. I have almost 30 years of experience in management, and I will care for your home and pets as if they are mine. I love to play with animals and walk dogs, and I also enjoy caring for them. Whether it's an elderly animal or one with special needs, I have a variety of experience and can care for your fur baby.


8. Teagan O.
“Teagan is a very responsible pet sitter and dog walker! She goes above and beyond, not only with pet care but with her other jobs, in school and with her swim teams both at the college level and club level. She has repeatedly been awarded recognition as being hardworking, reliable and a great teammate, friend, and student. She’s going to school for biochemistry with hopes of becoming a veterinarian and has a lot of experience with pets, both her own and friends and family.”


9. Samantha D.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Samantha provided for my dogs and cat during our recent trip. From the moment we met, it was clear that she is a true animal lover with a passion for ensuring pets are comfortable and well-cared for. My 3 dogs and cat felt at ease immediately, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, Samantha was highly communicative, sending daily updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She made sure to follow my pets routine and even went the extra mile by taking my shepherds on walks daily. When I returned, my pets were calm, happy, and healthy – a clear sign of the excellent care they all received. I would absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”


10. Lydia H.


“Lydia did a fine job house sitting and talking care of our dog and cat. She even passed out candy Halloween night! We felt very comfortable being over seas knowing our home and animals were taken care of.”


11. Amy N.

12. Jenna M.
“Jenna is truly amazing! She is an incredibly kind, thoughtful , respectful, smart and hard working young lady. She is incredibly motivated and goes above and beyond. She has watched our 2 labs on many occasions and takes perfect care of them. She loves on them and spends time with them. I would recommend Jenna in a heartbeat!”

16. Natalie E.

“Natalie did a great job watching my 2 pups while we were out of town. She was so sweet and kind. My dogs felt comfortable with her right away. She communicated well with me regarding my dog’s needs and sent me a few pictures and updates while we were gone. Definitely would recommend Natalie for your pet care needs.”


17. Alexandra G.

18. Mindi C.
About: Experienced with senior dogs, and I understand patience and gentleness they require. I’m attentive to their routine and health needs. I will treat them like family. I do not work and am available to sit for your dogs or they can come to my home. I will treat them like family. I do not have any other animals and could give my full attention to your dog. I have a peaceful environment at home and welcome the company.
