“Shelby is fantastic. He is a breeze to work with. The photos he sent of my dogs gave me tremendous peace of mind. And my dogs readily took to him. Highly recommend.”

“Thank you so much Abi! Great service and communication all around. Very patient with my fur baby and everything was perfect. You are amazing and I appreciate you caring for Piggy! Will definitely book again as I already have sent a request! ❤️”


5. Olivia J.

“Olivia was great with my dog Penny, she is very sweet. She was willing to do what was needed to get her to take her medicine when not feeling good. She also took the time to come meet us before the weekend walks. Would definitely use her again.”


6. Jenna R.

“Jenna and Caroline are truly amazing with your fur babies!!! As someone who has two high energy pit mixes, it can be a bit nerve racking trying to find someone who not only has experience with the breed, but truly understands them. During our meet and greet it was immediately obvious that these two knew what they were doing and how to handle Stark and Sansa. Both of my pups were well taken care of and I am beyond thankful for the level of care they received. Will definitely be booking again!”


7. Amanda & Matthew K.

“Amanda did a fantastic job taking care of our dog Zoey while we were out of town. She met with her before we left and Zoey loved her. We would definitely recommend her.”


8. Tina W.

“Tina was fantastic with the dogs. Not only was she flexible with our last minute request, she went out of the way to play with them, engage/stimulate them mentally, and in general give them the love and attention they are always craving. Her communication was great, updates were thorough, and her pictures were just amazing. Seriously, I might get 1 or 2 of them framed.”


9. Emma F.

“Emma is my go-to for my girls, Snap and Pompom. She has never once let me down. I come back from a trip and my girls are just as good, if not better, than I left them. She doesn't mind the odd request like bringing in the garage bin and handles instructions beautifully.”


10. Johnny W.

“I’ve been using rover for a few years now and Johnny is the absolute best I’ve ever worked with. So kind, responsive, and just overall great with my pups. Wish I could give 10 stars.”


11. Jordan P.

“Jordan did a great job with our kitty! She was very prompt, followed all of the instructions left for Ruthie wonderfully, and did an excellent job communicating. She even sent the cutest pictures of our very pleased cat who was insisting on more pets and cuddles. I was very confident that our cat and home were in good, reliable hands. Jordan was thoughtful, professional, and showed a really kind heart for animals. Will be hiring again!”


12. Summer M.

“Summer took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away on a holiday weekend. We were able to relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend Summer for your pet sitting needs.”


13. Jenna D.

“Jenna was everything we were looking for in a sitter who would lock up our hens at sunset to keep them safe from nighttime critters and also check in on our cats and pup while we were out late. Jenna and Laney clicked immediately during the meet and greet and so I knew she would be a perfect fit for our fur and feather babies. Thanks a million! We’ll be in touch for future visits and care!”


14. Alina R.

“Great experience with Alina! Great communication and cared for our pup while we were out”


15. Rachel & Jonathan W.

“Rachel was on time, took great care of my cats, was very communicative, and gave me great updates. Thank you!”


16. Roxana Q.

“Roxana did an excellent job of taking care of our 17 year old cat. She communicated well and we could see that Princess was content and happy with her. Would request for Roxana in the future and we highly recommend her.?”


17. Michelle L.
“Michelle has been wonderful with Cai. She has a genuine sense of caring making Cai feel like family. Her customer service is excellent, she is conscientious providing for any special needs and allows for flexible scheduling needs. I would recommend her services to anyone.”


18. Cynthia J.

“Cynthia was quick to respond and able to work us into her schedule with our last minute requests. She didn’t hesitate to ask any questions if she was unsure of something - which I appreciate greatly. She was kind and gentle with the boys during our meet & greet and she clearly took great care of them during their visits. My older dog takes time getting used to people and it was obvious she was respectful of that with him. I will happily be booking her again!”


19. Kelly B.

“Great sitter! Kelly took care of our 3 furbabes 🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈 while we were out of state for the Thanksgiving holidays , we are grateful they were in good hands❤️”


20. Stacey P.
“Stacey is very good with pets. She treated her dog like her child, treated her special everyday. Loves taking long walks, going to the beach, car rides, cuddles, and playing in the yard. She will treat your pet like her own, with lots of love and care.”
