2. Kristen W.
“This was the first time using Rover & Kristin was an Amazing sitter. She was on time, very communicative and so nice. We didn’t worry about Lilo while she came to do daily drop ins. The pics and recaps were so sweet. You can tell Kristin is an animal lover and treats her furry clients as if they were her own. I HIGHLY recommend her 🙂”
3. Brian C.
“We are so thankful for Brian!! We had a bad experience with a local pet sitting company so we went looking on Rover when we were going away for Thanksgiving. Brian immediately put two anxious cat parents at ease and we left without a worry. Brian was communicative, prompt, kind, and got the cutest pictures of our cats. We will definitely be using his services again and confidently recommend him to any pet parents!!! Thank you, Brian!”

5. Marilyn H.
“I cannot speak more highly of Marilyn!!!!!! She is THE BEST dog sitter I could ever, EVER ask for!!!!! No others compare!!!! Not only is she so gentle and responsible with my dog, but she goes above and beyond what is asked for; taking him to the nearby playground for fun times, relaxing in the sun, cuddling and loving on him in my home, sweetly playing with his favorite toys, even taking selfies to show me how much she cares for him. It literally brings tears to my eyes seeing these pictures because of how safe I feel Mickey is and how wonderful she is!!! She follows instructions to the tee and she’s perfect!! I adore her!!! Please use her!!!! Your puppy will have another mommy 🤗🐶❤️”
6. Meghan M.
“Meghan is a true dog-lover! She cares for her 2 labs, Sadie and Jade, as her children. Meghan has taken care of my pup, Ozzy, plenty of times over the past 2 years and has always exceeded my expectations of her responsibility. Even through doggy injuries, aggression, and feeding issues, she has always been a super reliable dog sitter. Most importantly, she loves Ozzy as her own! With her experience and love for dogs, I don't think twice about having her care for my pup, leaving me at ease that Ozzy is in good hands with Meghan!”
7. Michael A.
“Michael was great with Hank! Timely updates and really helpful in a quick turnaround that I needed help with my pup. Will definitely be reaching back out to Michael for help with my pup in the future!”

“Paula was great! I messaged her for a last minute walk less than 24 hours beforehand and she was immediately responsive. Great communication and took lots of pics of my pup!”
9. Kevin L.
“Kevin was a pleasure to work with. With him caring for my pets and sending me daily photos, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. He was reliable and my pets were well taken care of. I would not hesitate to recommend him to others, and I would be happy to have him look after my pets again. Highly recommended!”

12. Jesse L.
“Jesse was amazing!! My 2 dogs immediately took to her - she was a great match for them. She was attentive and detail oriented, having no trouble with my dogs routine. She made me feel secure knowing she was taking such good care of my kiddos while I was away. Will definitely hire her again in the future.”
13. Dillon V.
“Dillon is an amazing pet caregiver - he's so patient with my noise phobic dog! I can always count on Dillon to be on-time and to follow the patterns/distractions I use to help my dog, Murphy, manage the world around him. Dillion's visits are always the highlight of Murphy's day and knowing that Dillon will be there to take care of my dog when I can't be there is a HUGE relief for me. Recommended 100%!”

About: I have prior experience with animals (my own and Clients) and currently work part-time at an animal hospital. I have experience with puppy care, large dogs, senior dog care, fast walkers and dogs who pull. I have a pet dog and 2 parakeets. I’ve always loved animals and want to provide great care! :) I currently work part time at a animal hospital and also part time as a student. My schedule is different daily but I can always find time to care for your pets! Caring for pets in a client's home involves ensuring their safety, comfort, and well-being while following any specific instructions provided by the owner. I am very big on communication and will contact owners about any concerns and follow any specific preferences or guidelines they provide.
16. Jennifer D.
“Hi, I'm writing to you on behalf of Jennifer DeChristopher. She's my neighbor and is a kind, reliable and caring person. She had a pug named Bogart who was her best friend and baby. Your fur baby's will be well cared for and probably won't want to go home at the end of the day. (Just kidding.) But they will be just as happy to see her when you drop them off as they will be when you come to pick them up. I highly recommend Jennifer DeChristopher to care for your dog. Lynn W.”
17. Antonia G.
“I have used Antonia as a pet sitter for my dog. Antonia is reliable, trustworthy, attentive and punctual every time I have used her. She has worked for me as a daily dog walker and someone that stayed over when we traveled.”
18. Kathleen S.
