“Bleu, Mousse and Tuna are absolutely in love with Gina! And we love her too. She’s very reliable, trust worthy, kind and considerate. We don’t know what we would do without her!”
“Best dog friend we have ever found. Extremely attentive, stayed with the dogs the entire time and sent lots of pictures and updates. Elizabeth made sure our thunderstorm-shy puppy had his meds well in advance of the storm and even let one of the puppies sleep on the bed with her (turns out he does not share the bed well). We cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough and will always check with her first when we go out of town!”
“Wonderful! We had a long trip where we had NO service and Ellen was still sending updates and photos. We had no issues. Our house was in the same condition we left it in. Our boys can be a handful and Ellen handled them beautifully. Definitely will be rebooking!!”

“Rodney was absolutely great with our dogs/cat! Received LOTS of great pictures of all our fur-babies while we were gone, and he went above and beyond taking care of our house and daily chores (which he absolutely did not have to do, but we came home to that surprise!). Would absolutely rebook him again, and highly recommend him to anyone looking to take care of your pets!”
“Lauren is great! Our pets warmed up to her right away at the meet and greet, she was on time, and she sent me lots of updates. It's so nice to be able to get away while knowing my babies are in good hands! Thank you Lauren!!”
“Was very satisfied with the overall experience. House was exactly as we left it when we returned. Puppies were excited to see us too. Nicole even cleaned up the dog poo in the back yard, yeah bonus!”
“Heather house- and dog-sat for us over the weekend as our first experience with Rover and it went great. We were updated with photos of our dogs once she arrived (we had already left) and she was very responsive all along the way. It couldn't have gone any better.”
About: I have taken care of many animals. I was raised on a dairy farm and my family has had dogs my whole life. My family currently has 3 dogs.

“Libby was fantastic with our fur babies..I am so happy we found her and will definitely be asking for help again. She updated us regularly and we felt we left our home and pets in good hands!”
“We started our experience with Evan with a 10 day house-sitting. Our two dogs warmed up to him right away in the meet-and-greet. He even has experience with epileptic dogs such as ours, so that was reassuring. Evan also was responsive to each dog's quirks. When we returned, the house was found as good as we left it. We'll be reaching out to Evan for future arrangements.”
“Kristy is an excellent pet sitter! She goes above and beyond to make sure our pets are well cared for when we are away. I never have to worry Kristy is with our dogs. She is quick to respond and sends updates throughout her stay. Our dogs are thrilled to see her and enjoy her company. It’s comforting knowing I have someone who truly cares for my pets when I am gone.”
About: Have been around dogs since I was born. Enjoy spending time playing fetch and taking them for long walks and giving treats out for great behavior!

Morgan H.
“I’ve seen firsthand just how amazing she is with animals. She doesn’t just “watch” your pets, she connects with them. She’s the type of person who gets down on the floor to play, pays attention to the little quirks that make each animal unique, and genuinely enjoys their company. She’s incredibly patient, dependable, and she always seems to anticipate what my dogs might need before they even need it. She’s watched my dogs countless times, and each time they act like she’s their favorite person on Earth! Whether it’s going for a long walk, cleaning up a mess without blinking, or just sitting with them when they need company, she’s all in. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to leave any of my dogs in her care and that’s saying a lot coming from a slightly overprotective dog mom. Now, if my dog could leave a review, it’d probably go something like this: “10/10 would recommend. She gives the best belly rubs and kisses, calls me cute even with eye boogers and bedhead, and lets me sniff the same patch of grass as long as I need. Legend.””
