1. Hannah J.
“Hannah was great to work with! She was friendly, very communicative, and happy to share updates on how things were going while I was gone. She left my home clean and both of my kitties were happy and well taken care of. I will consider her again for future jobs!”
2. Steph A.
“Our boy Max couldn't have been in better hands with Steph!! She sent us so many pictures of him smiling and having the best walks! We didn't worry at all knowing Max was here with Steph! Can't recommend her enough!♥️?”
3. Angie D.
“Lincoln and Lulu had their 2nd overnighter with Angie and the crew. They loved it and were definitely tired out. Love Angie’s communication and love for my pets.”
4. Gwenyth H.
“Gwenyth took great care of our aging dog! She has stayed in our home for a few weekends at this point. Everything has gone smoothly and each time we have returned home to a happy dog and everything back in its place.”
5. Maciyah D.
“Maciyah was super accommodating and helpful when I had to book her last minute. And Duke seemed to really enjoy his stay. She sent tons of pictures and got him lots of walks. I highly recommend boarding with Maciyah.”
6. Nichole S.
“Nichole was great! She confirmed our last minute request just two days before we needed a pet sitter and took great care of Finn and Pepper! They got walks and lots of attention from Nichole and her daughter. We would definitely book with her again!”
7. Jordan K.
“Jordan was amazing with my dog! He took care of Sloan (my dog) as if he was his own. This is something I look for as Sloan is the most important thing to me. Jordan is gentle, reliable and efficient. It's very obvious he's a big animal lover. Highly recommend!”
8. Randi K.
“Randi is amazing - I just moved to the area from out of state, and was super anxious to find the right person for for my pup when I’m away. I knew Randi would be perfect after speaking to her via video chat, and confirmed again when we met for a meet and greet. She is very kind and intuitive, and my dog warmed up to her immediately. Randi made sure everything was followed flawlessly while I was away in terms of feeding, house things, potty breaks, etc, and went above and beyond with my dogs walks - she was sure to take him on loooong walks with new scenery, and was so attentive to all of his quirks. She sends many updates, and I was never concerned and/or worried about if my dog was left long or wasn’t getting attention - Randi is an excellent communicator so there is no room or need for worry. My pup was super happy when I came back and I knows he’s already missing his new friend. I cant wait to hire her again :)”
9. Karley M.
“Karley did an amazing job taking care of my three greyhounds on short notice. It shows she really loves animals; she was both very reliable and very caring for my dogs. Highly recommend!”
10. Tessa S.
“Omg I can not justly praise Tessa enough!! She was so amazing I will never leave my dog with anyone else, ever again. It was my 1st time leaving my 2 year old 'Big' dog for more then a night or 2. Not once was I worried or left wondering if things were good. She kept me up to date, daily. And she sent a lot of pictures, which was great. Tessa went above and beyond. I am so happy I found her!”
11. Kayla V.
“Kayla was awesome. She took great care of our two cats and our house. She’s a good communicator and and kept us informed during her stay. One of our cats requires medication three times a day, and Kayla didn’t flinch at this extra work. We’re grateful for her attentiveness and gladly recommend her without reservation.”
12. Callie B.
“Callie is extremely attentive and detail oriented. Consistent updates, followed all our instructions perfectly, and made our out of the country vacation stress free.”
13. Alex R.
“My cat, Bailey, is an extremely active, playful, affectionate and SPOILED 2 year old who had never been separated from me. His breed is known for separation anxiety. So the idea of me being gone for 10 days in Europe and not knowing how he would do was a major stressor to me. As soon as we met Alex, my fears were alieved. . Bailey took to Alex right away and even brought a favorite mouse to be thrown back and forth. I knew Alex was the right sitter for my little guy. Alex is very chill, very personable and detail oriented. I had a book of notes to make the stay/sit more comfortable. Alex sent daily pics, videos and texts, showing Bailey’s adjustment to a stranger and the relationship they subsequently developed. It was both sweet and very comforting to me. If Alex did have a question, a text would be sent. When I came home, my home was completely spotless, as I expected it would be. Bottom line, I could not have asked for a better sitter for the little love of my life than Alex. When the time comes again, I will again request Alex.”
14. Lauren W.
“Lauren was fantastic with watching my dog Jack. She was super helpful in explaining the app and what her schedule was for the in house sitting. She took him to the dog park and on walks constantly and always provided pictures and updates. Will absolutely be booking Lauren again in the future”
15. Lissa P.
“Lissa was great and it seemed Myrtle had a wonderful time. Lissa left the house cleaner than it was before and kept me in the loop with pictures and updates. She is very independent and didn't need a lot of instruction or monitoring. She is clearly a pro! We will definitely use her again. ”
16. JANICE-EVELYN P.
“She did a great job watching my dog Mack! Was very responsive to messages and clearly loves animals. Thank you!”
17. Kristina R.
“Kristina was wonderful ! Very responsible and so loving towards My pooch Marley ! He loves her from day one ! I’d highly recommend her ! My dog is not an easy personality and he was happy as can be upon my return ! 5 stars”
18. Katherine H.
“Shes the epitome of "my dogs are my kids". The love and care she shows for not just her does but others should be studied.”
19. Russ H.
“George has walked my dogs in rain, snow or sunshine for the past 3 years. When he told me he was going to be on Rover I was so happy! It’s the perfect job for him. He loves my dogs and treats them like they are his own. I would recommend him to anyone who wants someone to trust to take care of their pets!!!”
20. Cydnie S.
“Cydnie was great with our dogs and house. She sent daily updates with pictures. Pups seemed happy and relaxed when we arrived home. The house was well taken care of- I’d recommend her highly as you feel at ease leaving your precious pups with her!”
