1. Lauren Simone F.
“Lauren did a fantastic job as a live in pet sitter while we were out of town. She took care of our golden retriever and our two cats and sent us lots of updates, photos and videos. Highly recommend.”
2. Diamond W.
“Diamond was wonderful with my dogs. I felt like they were in great hands! She left the house spotless and even stripped the bed. She was a great house guest and my dogs loved her too. She sent photos of the pups while I was away. Will definitely use her again!”
3. Delfina B.
“Delfina was amazing with my anxious Italian Mastiff, Layla. This was the first time Delfina hung out with Layla and it seemed like a very comfortable fit. Being it was Delifna's first time staying with Layla, she happily came over twice to spend time getting to know my girl before their extended sleep over :) Defina sent pictures and constant updates on Layla's daily activities. Layla also had some medical issues at the time and required some extra care. Deflina was diligent, reliable, and had excellent communication. I would certainly use Deflina again, and highly recommend.”
4. Jessica L.
“Jess was excellent with all three of our pets. Our very timid and shy dog was snuggling in bed with her by the end of her stay. Would definitely recommend and rebook.”
5. Ashley & Yara D.
“Ashley did an incredible job caring for our pups! She was so kind and professional, we will absolutely be re-booking with her again and again.”
6. Lanae K.
“Lanae was amazing! Will for sure be hiring her again. She went the extra mile to make sure we felt comfortable being away from our animals, she even bought my cat a new toy!! She sent pictures everyday and updated us 24/7. I highly recommend booking her. I was reluctant to try rover but she made me comfortable with the idea.”
7. Tiana S.
“Tiana was the absolute best. This was our first time hiring a house sitter for our three babies and Tiana put at us ease during our vacation. She was the best at and our dogs enjoyed her like family. Will look forward to booking her again very soon. ❤️”
8. Carlee B.
“A+, 4.0, canine-sitter extraordinaire! Such was our experience with Carlee and our two 50+ lb 4mo and 6mo old puppies. We met her through our local Hollywood Feed store and over numerous trips came to rely on her product advice, and training tricks and tips. From the beginning she demonstrated a thorough knowledge of dog care and training. We mentioned in passing that we were going on vacation for a week and she mentioned aside from her day job she did dog sitting and training, and was listed at rover.com. We looked her up and read her reviews, and knew that we could trust her with our young over-sized puppies and our house while we were out-of-state. We were incredibly happy with everything she did for us, and our pups – we felt very safe leaving them in her care at our house for the week. She sent pictures and videos of some training sessions and the resulting corrected behaviors. Extremely pleased with our decision and would highly recommend her if you are in the market for a dog sitter, walker, or trainer. We won’t hesitate to have her over again the next time we head out of town.”
9. Tiana L.
“This is the 3rd or 4th time Tiana has watched my boys and she is absolutely amazing! So responsive and keeps me updated at all times. Truly the best sitter I’ve found on Rover!! 10/10 would recommend”
10. Mindy H.
“Mindy provided exceptional care and attention while watching my two golden doodles. It was a last minute request and the first time for her services. She was flexible and a good communicator. I will definitely use her services again.”
11. Jasmine B.
“Jasmine is a long time animal lover and the first person I ever met who would take in any pet and love them as her own. She genuinely enjoys the presence of animals and is definitely the person to ask to pet a stranger’s dog. I trusted her with my puppy and she was perfect. Jasmine bathed my dog and I didnt even ask her too. She went above and beyond for my dog and I’d ask her again to watch him and I’m VERY picky about who watches my dog.”
12. Talia J.
“Talia is very thorough & did a great job watching my boy! Sent lots of pics & updates! Had an anxiety free trip bcuz he was at my home with her! Definitely will use Talia again if she is available!”
13. Khiona O.
“Khiona Oliver would provide safe, loving care and exceptional customer service because of her deep experience and genuine love for animals. As an animal field rescuer, she has worked with a wide range of animals, including my own Cane Corso, who absolutely adores her. I trust Khiona to care for my pets whenever I need to travel for work because she's not only compassionate and attentive but also has a natural ability to connect with animals of all sizes, from the smallest of turtles to the biggest breed of horses. Her down-to-earth nature and heartfelt dedication to animals make her an amazing person and a fantastic pet caregiver.”
14. Diani B.
“Diani is a great pet sitter. She takes a special interest in my dogs and they are always excited to see her. She will treat your dog like her own. She is flexible and has watched my dog last minute.”
15. Debra B.
About: I've had lifelong experience with medium to large dogs. Enjoy early morning and later evening walks. I like to brush the fur and talk to them. Most dogs like that but some are sensitive or ticklish. They all like to bathe them but it does make them wild and extremely active until their skin gets dry. All my living experience has been with mixed breed dogs. They have the best temperament of all types, I guess the best of all types. I've never had a very large dog nor a miniature one like a Chihuahua. All dogs are not the same. I've been bit 3 times. Twice by miniature dogs. I do not watch them. I'm retired so I'm available for almost any schedule and prefer overnight care. The longer daily schedule allows for the pet to get used to me being around. I'm on another platform with 5-star reviews. That platform requires a security check verification before my profile goes live. In all cases, I allow the pets to come to me once I arrive at the location. That works best for both our safety purposes.
16. Chrysantheum E.
“One of my dogs is very skiddish and scared without me, but Chrysantheum did such a great job that she was just fine! I know that might not seem like a huge compliment but it is! My dog is usually visibly shaky and upset when I come back, but she was calm and happy. Chrysantheum was wonderful with them!”
17. Katrina M.
“Katrina has taken care of my dog (Black Labrador) on multiple occasions. My dog quickly became attached to her shortly after meeting each other. Which does not always happen. He was a rescue and tends to shy away from a lot of people. Whenever I leave him in her care, he is always properly taken care of. She tends to go above and beyond. She is an excellent caretaker and I know my dog is in great hands when I leave him with her. I would strongly recommend her to everyone. She really cares about the animals and is extremely respectful and professional.”
18. Leikisha M.
About: I have been taking care of pets for over 14 years,some of my own personal pets and others of family members and friends, I have a pet friendly home that will love to welcome your pet like a member of the family because pets are really people to me, I have also worked in the grooming field and know how to deal with different doggy personalities which is a plus I also know how to bathe and cut.
19. Kerry M.
“Kerry is fantastic! This was the second time she watched my two cats. They really loved her (even the one who is grumpy when I leave came around quicklt) and she sent lots of pictures! I would definitely recommend using Kerry for your babies!”
20. Ashley J.
“Ashley is amazing with animals. Our dogs love her. She is positive and patient with a calming demeanor. Our rescue pup, who is notoriously slow warming up to people, trusts her instinctively. She even gave Ashley kisses after their very first walk! That never happens! I highly recommend her to anyone in the area looking for a friendly, reliable dog walker/sitter.”
