1. Abigail F.

“Abigail was very friendly and responsive. She also was willing to do anything that would help our dogs while she was at our home (dog medication, staying longer, etc).”


2. Sarah & Alvin H.

“Sarah and Alvin took GREAT care of our pup, and our home! They kept us updated frequently with pictures and videos of him (which I love) and wrote kind notes about their days too. Our home was spotless when we returned and they were so easy to work with! Highly recommend🩷”


3. Nusa S.

“5 stars are not enough! Nusa needs 100 stars!! She went over and beyond for me and Phoenix. I got continual pupdates about my little guy which made my time away from him less stressful. During my search for someone to care for Phoenix I had lot of questions. This was my first time using the Rover app, and Nusa took the time to answer all of my questions and concerns. We meet the day before I left to do a meet and greet with Phoenix, and he took to her instantly. Phoenix had an amazing time with Nusa, while I enjoyed a much needed vacation. She asked what a typical day was like for him to ensure his routine was not interrupted. I loved getting videos and pictures of him having a great time!! If you are anything like me your dog means the world to you, and you consider them your child. Nusa took that to heart and cared for my boy with the love she has for her own dogs. Nusa is the absolute BEST!!!”




4. Zach D.

“Zach is so nice! My cat mojo loves him and he took good care of my apartment. Traveling is way easier knowing your pet is in good hands and Zach sent me picture and video updates 😊”


5. Jennifer W.

“We had an amazing experience with Jen watching our energetic Vizsla puppy over the weekend! She was incredibly attentive to his needs, making sure he got plenty of exercise and care. Her communication was excellent—she kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that she genuinely cared for our pup, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her hands. We highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”


6. Jayson C.

“Jayson did a great job watching my fur babes! He sent us lots of photos and updates without even needing to ask. I felt comfortable and reassured that my pups were well taken care of while I was away. Would def rebook and reccomend.”


7. Daphne F.

“Daphne was amazing with my two kitties! She came on time, played with them and updated me daily with pictures, leaving me feeling relieved while on vacation knowing they are in good hands! She was so respectful of my home and truly went above and beyond. I would definitely use her again and recommend her services!”


8. Amanda & Matthew K.

“Very friendly and communicative! I got pictures each time they stopped by to check on her.”


9. Christian P.

“Christian was great! My dog gets separation anxiety when I leave and anytime I asked for an update, he was quick to respond. He was very accommodating to any requests I had. Looking forward to using him again in the future!”


10. Rhoda S.

“Rhoda did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation! She went above and beyond and by the pictures she sent I could tell my cat was enjoying his “vacation” as well. I will definitely be booking her for future sittings! Thank you, Rhoda!”


11. Elizabeth B.
“As Elizabeth’s mother, I can attest that she is a loving and caring pet parent to her almost 3 year old Russian blue, Yuri. She took care of him from the moment he was a small, 3 month old, kitten and continues to meticulously care for him today. In the past, she walked and sat with the neighbor’s black lab during a week when our neighbor was called to work unexpectedly. Our neighbor was very pleased with her work and nicely compensated Elizabeth. I believe Elizabeth has a soft spot in her heart for animals, and pets in particular, and this would make her a great pet sitter or dog walker.”


12. Christine S.
“Chrissy dog sat and house sat for us for 2 weeks. Our dog Rocco LOVED her! Chrissy was amazing. She took great care of our dog and our home. She is responsible, reliable and very conscientious. We highly recommend Chrissy!”


13. Landis P. M.


“Landis was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of our pets and home while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for him and look forward to booking him again in the future!”


14. Monique R.
“Monique is absolutely amazing! She took care of my two dogs, Luna and Bruno, and treated them like her own. She was always on time, super attentive, and kept me updated with messages and photos during their walks. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were safe, loved, and well-cared for. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! ❤️🙏”


15. Gina G.
“Gina is truly one of my favorite people, and someone I trust wholeheartedly—not just with my own life, but with the life of my dog, Bowie! She’s been there for us time and time again, whether it’s popping over to walk Bowie when I’m stuck at work or staying at my place for a full week while I travel. Her reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals make her incredibly special. I’ve seen firsthand how caring and attentive she is—not only with Bowie, but also with her new roommate’s dog, Drax. Since moving to Florida, she’s constantly taking Drax on fun walks and car rides, and it’s clear he absolutely adores her. I only wish she still lived in LA—Bowie and I miss her so much! But I know she’s going to be an incredible dog walker for someone else. If you’re lucky enough to hire Gina, you’re not just getting someone trustworthy and capable—you might just gain a lifelong friend, too.”




16. Marcus S.
“Marcus has taken care of my dog for the last 5 years.I have never had any issues with Marcus my dogs always come back happy and they love hanging out with his dogs maxwell and Ashton”


17. Avery D.

“Avery was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her and she left our house incredibly neat and clean. I would absolutely suggest her to everyone and I plan to use her again!!”


18. Eunice A.

“Eunice was so great! She was so nice, timely, and did everything we asked. She took great care of Roscoe and he seemed like a happy little man when we got home. I would hire her again! 😁”


19. Abigail C.


“Abigail did an amazing job with Jude and left the apartment better than when she walked in. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”


20. Jenna T.

“Jenna was absolutely incredible with our 4 year old pup Otto! He is quite the walker and she went above and beyond for him, keeping him on his regular routine and more! She gave him lots of love, playtime, and attention, and spent tons of time with him which we really appreciated. She is a true dog lover! She also gave us lots of updates and pictures it helped us feel so at ease while we were away. Our dog looked like he had the best time, we will be booking her again in the future for sure. So happy to have found Jenna!”
