1. Leesa H.

“Leesa watched my lil loves for a few days and did a fabulous job. She spent quality time cuddling and spoiling them. I highly recommend Leesa! My kiddos love her!”


2. David D.

“David was awesome with our girl. Let us book on fairly short notice and sent frequent updates and pictures. Will be contacting him again when we need a sitter!”


3. Tatum L.

“Tatum was awesome. She took the best care of my dogs (5 of them) and my house. Kept me informed of everything including coyotes who broke through the fence and snowfall we had, shoveled a path for our big boy to do his business, Swept the floors and took out trash. She even brought in the mail. We will definitely use her again.”


4. Valory N.

“Valory is amazing. She’s professional, courteous, attentive to detail, and willing to go the extra mile; not just for the owner, but also for the dog! My pup whined more when she left then when I did for my trip. 100% rebooking with her in the future. Couldn’t ask for more.”


5. Kelzey F.

“Kelzey took care of our two girls, Luna and Phoenix, for 5 days while we were out of town and did an exceptional job. She made sure to play with them and fed them on schedule. We came home to happy pups and found the house just as we left it. We are so grateful to have found someone who loves our girls as much as we do. Highly recommend Kelzey!”


6. Megan K.

“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”


7. Monroe B.

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”


8. Natalie J.
About: I have owned and taken care of dogs since I was 6 years old. I grew to love animals like my own family. I’m very nurturing, loving, easygoing. Please feel free to get to know me <3 I currently work part-time hours so I would have plenty of time to care for your animals and I also have a pet friendly neighborhood so your pet will always go to a dog park just to have some fun time and lots of walking. We go on walks leashed . We do nap time. We have playtime. We have breakfast/ dinner time alone just so they are comfortable . Cuddle Time. Learning new tricks.


9. Shelby B.

“Shelby is an amazing dog sitter! She took great care of our dog while we were away for a week. This was our first time using Rover and Shelby single handedly exceeded our expectations! She was very attentive to Hazel’s every need. I know Hazel had a great week filled with lots of fun outdoors on walks or playing fetch with her frisbee. She even took it upon herself to bring her own treats and toys that she gave to hazel. We will definitely be using Shelby in the future!”


10. Katharine V.

“Katharine was great! She followed the instructions we left, kept all of the animals happy and our home was left in great shape. We appreciated all of her updates throughout the day and spending time at the house so that our puppy was able to play and run around while we were away. We’d absolutely hire her again.”


11. Deborah L.

“The dogs love Deborah, she must give them all of the cuddles they need. She watched our 100+ lb Newfie and Rottie over Thanksgiving week, and they had no complaints upon our return! :) Their food ran out while we were gone and she cooked them up a rice & turkey meal for Thanksgiving when their Chewy delivery was delayed. She also kept the house as clean as humanly possible with the yard being 90% mud during the rainy week. 10/10 our go-to sitter, thanks Deborah!”


12. Emily H.

“Emily was great with our two cats! I have one super social kitty and one not so social kitty and both completely hit it off with her. We also scheduled everything very last minute and on a holiday to boot, but Emily made it incredibly easy to plan and took a lot of the stress out of the evening for us. We will be in contact again as necessary - and thank you SO much Emily!!”


13. Christina D.
“Christina took great care of our pets and our home! Even with freezing temps and 6 inches of snow on the ground, she made sure our high energy pup was exercised and entertained. She sent daily updates and always let us know what she had planned for the day. Our house was very tidy when we got home and the animals were very happy.”


14. Kathleen F.

“Kathleen was very nice and attentive when taking care of my pup, maintained pups schedule, & provided updates every day. Very appreciative that she could watch her on such short notice.”


15. Brianna P.

“Couldn't be happier with Bri service! From the moment we met, it was clear they truly love dogs. My pups instantly felt comfortable with her and I could tell they were in good hands. Throughout the stay, Bri kept me updated with pictures and messages, showing how much fun Remi and Charlie were having. Whether it was walks, playtime, or cuddles, they were provided so much attention and care. I came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dogs, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. Bri was also very professional—punctual, easy to communicate with, and left everything clean and tidy. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter. Will definitely be booking again!”


16. Stephany S.

“Thank you, Stephany, for taking such good care of our girls while we were out of town over Labor Day. We're grateful you were willing and able to provide in home care for our special needs rescue which allowed us to go out of town for a much needed mini get-away.”


17. Daniela D.
“I have know Daniela for several years now, and as a fellow dog owner myself, I can confidentially say that she has the best qualities to take care of your fur babies! Daniela is a bright soul who has so much love in her heart! She is the type of person that animals are drawn to because of her caring and bubbly personality. Alongside that, she is one of the hardest working people I have ever met! She is very organized and on top of things, and her work ethic is almost inspirational. She is very experienced with watching animals, and is always the person we go to if we know we will need a pet sitter. If you were to choose Daniela to watch your baby, I promise you will not be disappointed!”


18. Keira C.

“Kiera was great with our Dog and updated us regularly. Would definetly use again.”


19. Kaylyn C.

“Kaylyn was fabulous!!! We were her first client as she is new to Rover. Our almost 15 year old dog started with tummy issues and Kaylyn was so patient with her. She comforted her, cleaned up after her and took great care of her. Kaylyn kept us informed the entire stay also. Fortunately we realized what was causing the tummy problems (I bought new treats that didn't agree with her) and then Kaylyn was able to just enjoy being with her. She took her on 2 walks a day and our house was so clean when we got home. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!!”


20. Janice C.
“Janice is great! She has watched my dog several times and always listens to our instructions. She is very thoughtful and I would definitely hire her again.”
