1. Gina A.

“We were so lucky to have Gina as our in-home dog sitter for our senior Golden Retriever. She was an excellent communicator, an incredibly tidy house guest, and a compassionate caregiver for our Olden Golden. If it were possible to rate higher than 5 stars, I would! Definitely recommend Gina to other pet parents and we hope to book with her again!”


2. Amanda B.

“Amanda took great care of our boys over a long weekend! She updated us regularly and every additional time we asked. She was timely and did everything we requested of her. We came home to extremely happy boys!”


3. Ellen S.

“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!!”


4. Kelly & Taylor W.

“Kelly and Taylor were amazing at taking care of our dogs. Always sending pics and updating us. It’s comforting to know your dogs are in good hands!! :)”


5. Lindsay M.
“Lindsay has a lot of passion for animals. She personally has two dogs and treats them like her children. Lindsay loves being around animals and I would trust her watching my dog!!”


6. Emily B.

“Emily made this whole experience seem effortless!! There wasn't a shortage of "what ifs" for us having never left our furs before but any questions or concerns were answered with understanding and grace. Emily sent us many pictures of our babies while we were gone and updated us throughout the day. This put our minds at ease and we quickly learned that our furs were in great hands! When we returned home our babies were happy to see us... although I can say one seemed a little sad that her new friend Emily hasn't come back but that only proves to us that we found someone we can trust and depend on to take care of our furs just as we would of we were home. Emily provides top notch care and demonstrates understanding, caring, and kindness... We have future trips planned and have already reserved her time. It's easy to say she has gained a couple more loyal customers!!! Thank you Emily!”


7. Zoe S.

“Zoe took such great care of our pup! He’s a nervous shy and anxious dog who doesn’t love new people. She was patient and made him feel so comfortable. He warmed up to her quick and she sent frequent updates! Would 10/10 recommend her for watching your pets!”


8. Lauren E.

“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!!”


9. Hunter J.

“Hunter is very attentive and spoiled my dog. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter. I was very nervous and hesitant leaving my baby for so long but hunter gave me updates and was very transparent with us. Lucy got walks and plenty of play time would definitely hire again. The only thing I wished I would have done was been more upfront about what Lucy’s schedule was like but I was still learning how all this worked but hunter fit right in and helped Lucy adapt and did an amazing job.”


10. Evan G.

“Evan was GREAT ! He contacted me very quickly regarding a medical concern one of my Great Danes was having. He was very quick to reply to all my messages and sent smiling pictures of the dogs to put me at ease. I was especially surprised to see the floors and bedding washed and clean upon my arrival. My Danes fell in love with him during the meet and greet visit and will definitely use him for all our dog care needs. Cora”


11. Madison M.
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. I am currently working part time in Onondaga so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I enjoy spending my free time with animals. I live on a farm so I have plenty of room for pups to run around. I also have a fenced in area if needed.


12. Heather L.

“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.”




13. Nicole K.

“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!”


14. Kaylee C.

“Kaylee housesat for our dog Lacey while we were away, and did a phenomenal job. She was quick to respond to messages, sent regular updates on how our fur baby was doing, and left our house just as clean as when we left. Will 100% rebook next time we need a sitter if she’s available!”


15. Danielle A.

“Great service! We were extremely happy with Danielle - and the dogs were too! 😊”


16. Lisa B.
“Lisa is an animal lover! She's an amazing dog mom, who puts her pets first. She is a responsible, loving and knowledgeable pet caregiver. Pick Lisa if you want one less worry, while you're away from your pet.”


17. Brittany J.

“Brittany helped us in a pinch and was so good with our Great Dane, Rosemary. We appreciated her responsiveness and all the photos and videos she sent of their time together. She clearly has a genuine love for dogs and knows how to care for them. We came home to a happy and relaxed pup and couldn't be more grateful. Rose made a new friend, and we look forward to using her services again. We highly recommend Brittany to anyone looking for a thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!”


18. Shadiamon F.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was 13. I have a puppy of my own who lovesss to socialize. I love to go on walks and car rides and go the park and can’t forget Starbucks and puppicinos. Taking dog and cat naps are cool too! I currently work 3 days a week so I have a lot of free time . I also am willing to work with pet parents on certain availabilities if needed. I have a fur baby who I usually take to the park , I only have a front yard , so we like to go to nice parks with bigger spaces to walk and run around !


19. Christine R.
“Christine has babysat our dogs and cat many times and they absolutely loved her! She made sure to take them outside often, give them some treats, and of course lots of cuddles while we were away. We were so thankful for the care she put into our pets.”
