“I had my first experience using Rover, and I'm so glad Taylor was the sitter for our fur babies! She was incredibly helpful, advising me on how to use the platform effectively, and made sure to get all the details about their care. Taylor also helped me think through different scenarios, including what to do in case of any delays on our return. I felt confident leaving my pets in her care, and I would absolutely recommend her!”

“My husband Tom and I have never had children so our French Bulldog Lucy Lu is our whole world. While he was in high school, Charlie watched Lucy Lu on multiple occasions when we were gone. She is a picky eater and has her preferences in how she likes things done and Charlie was always patient with her. We're proud of him for becoming a medical student and happy to write a review for him. We're grateful to have found someone we could trust with our Lucy Lu while we're away.”

Faith's professionalism and attention to detail ensure that my furry family members are always happy, healthy, and well-cared for. If you're looking for someone who treats your dogs like her own, Faith is the one to choose!””

19. Briah H.
About: Hi! My name is Briah, I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I obtained an animal science degree with an emphasis on companion animal care. I also have 5 years of experience working as a veterinary assistant in local clinics, as I’ve recently transitioned careers I miss seeing furry friends on a daily basis. Unfortunately I don’t have pets of my own at this time, but I would love to help care for yours! I currently work from home 3 days a week, and spend most of my time at home on the weekends. I am able to provide walks and ear scratches throughout the day. I do not have any pets of my own in my home, I live in an apartment with a park conveniently located right out front for walks.


20. Lauren V.
“I am writing to earnestly recommend my daughter Lauren as a pet caregiver. Cats and dogs are family and have always been a big part of her life. Lauren has love, compassion and extensive experience with pets. Her knowledge and passion combined with a strong work ethic makes her a natural candidate for this position. Lauren is very responsible and loving. I could always count on her to take great care of our families fur babies and give me piece of mind. Sincerely, Sandra Van Sparrentak”
