1. Julie P.
“Julie has been an absolute blessing! Ember (our husky) loves Julie. She is reliable and will update us when we're out of town which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her.”
2. Renee T.
“Renee was fantastic with our dog. Her home was welcoming and with the space necessary for our medium sized dog! She is caring and kind and will always be one of our first calls on Rover!”
3. Andy G.
“Andy is a dog person. He immediately made me and my dog feel at ease. My dog is a bit shy and many people are intimidated by her because of her breed, but Andy's gentle approach allowed my dog to take to him right away. I really appreciated being given frequent updates and reassurance, along with photos. I would not hesitate to take my dog back to Andy for any type of care for my dog. We are both very happy with the service we were provided!”
4. Angelita A.
“Angelita was great! She took great care of our English bulldog Taz. Even though he is a high maintenance dog, she still took the time to do his daily wrinkle cleansing and we really appreciate that. She was very accommodating to a last minute extension of our trip. We are thankful for the care of our fur baby.”
5. Shanna B.
“I am so thankful for Shanna. I have found a great sitter close to me who took great care of my Research Laboratory Beagle. She has quirks from being in a lab tested on for 5 years, but she loved Shanna and her kids and they loved her. What more can you ask for! I will definitely be using her again.”
6. Maria C.
“Amazing Job! My boy was well taken care of and Looked so happy when I picked him up! Maria didn’t mind that I brought his own bowl and fully accommodated his bed to her home without issue. Will definitely consider coming again.”
7. Jill S.
“Jill & her partner were very accomadating. It was our first time booking on Rover so we were a little nervous to leave ours dogs, but so glad we chose Jill. One thing that really eased our minds was that our dogs wouldn't be crated during their stay, and there would always be someone home with the dogs. We had intended to board our 3 dogs for the weekend, but we had an emergency come up literally a few hours after dropping off the dogs, and they were very understanding about the situation! I would definietly recommend them to anyone.”
8. Elisa U.
“Elisa was great with my dog. She cared for all of his needs like he was her own and she kept me updated throughout the entire time. Elisa was such an awesome dog sitter and I will definitely be using her services again!!”
9. Rylie S.
“To Whom It May Concern, I have known Rylie for about 15 years. She is a very kind, compassionate, and dependable person. When we go out of town, whether it be a weekend or a two-week vacation, we have Rylie house-sit for us; she also cares for many pets. I would not hesitate to use Rylie in any position. You can trust she will give it 100 percent.”
10. Autumn B.
“I've had the pleasure of seeing Autumn interact with my dogs for several years, and her natural affinity for animals is truly remarkable. She has an incredible way of understanding and responding to my pets' needs, ensuring that each one feels loved and secure. Her patience, kindness, and dedication shine through in every interaction. It's clear that Autumn has a genuine passion for animals, making her an outstanding choice for anyone looking for exceptional pet care.”
11. Vanessa M.
“During our 21 year old, senior cat’s last days, Vanessa ensured our cat was comforted and cared for. Our loving senior was fed, loved, and watched after with the utmost attention and care. We know it is harder for people to want to care for senior animals as they have become fragile, sedentary, and overall have lost their young cuteness. Vanessa instead let our sweet angel take her time, playing with and petting her gently. She also made sure our tiny senior was fed around the clock, making sure to prepare her special diet thoroughly (she had oral surgery twice with teeth removed both time). I would recommend Vanessa for all animal needs. She is intuitive, attentive, and meets all demands you might have for your fur baby.”
12. Maribel B.
“Maribel was awesome and did a great job watching my cat and was great at communicating.”
13. Kami M.
“Kami was awesome! She sent me pictures daily and had quick responses times when messaging back and forth. She took him for walks and took great care of him for the 4 days he stayed with her. I will definitely be using Kami again if I need a someone to watch Dax!”
14. Akie H.
“It was hard to leave my dog with any sitter, however, I’m very glad I left my dog with Akie! She took such good care of my frenchie. Akie was wonderful with my frenchie and really made me feel at ease knowing my frenchie was safe and in good hands. Akie had a great home and very accommodating to dogs.”
15. Samantha P.
“Samantha was a lifesaver. Thank you for taking our pup last minute and taking good care of her.”
16. Sidney A.
“Absolutely went over and beyond. My dog was so happy with her. She even took him to the park to walk around and explore. I would definitely use her again and again and again😊”
17. Ana R.
“Ana was such a great sitter for our dog Jowdee ?? She went above and beyond to ensure a lovely and comfortable stay for him. She constantly stayed in touch with photos and videos. Definitely recommend and will use Ana again if we ever need our dog watched over ?”
18. Veronica T.
“Veronica is such a responsible person she not only care well for her pets but she will take good care of yours. She is a person who will take responsibility. She will also do whatever to give a great service for you and your pet. She will also have your pet happy and wagging with joy, so don’t be afraid of trusting her with your companion.”
19. Kharlee F.
