6. Regan K.
“Regan did a lovely job with our 2 dogs. She was willing to do a meet and greet prior to our booking and was detailed in taking notes down for their care. Very positive first experience with using Rover and would recommend Regan as a sitter.”
7. Austin A.
“Austin hit it off with Duke very quickly. It can take my dog a while to warm up to new people, but he liked Austin very quickly. These drop in visits are essential when I work long days, and Duke is being well cared for with walks, cuddles, and outside time. Plenty of pictures and detailed updates every time. I would definitely recommend Austin.”

13. Rachel V.
“Rachel is so kind. She not only let our pup out for a potty break but played with him, worked with him on some commands, and let him out one more time before she left. She went above and beyond my expectations.”
14. Robin B.
“Our dog absolutely loves being taken care of by Robin. Robin, her family, and their dogs are excellent sitters that excel in taking care of and nurturing dogs of all forms: young, old, energetic, docile, and every other mix in between. Sometimes we're afraid our dog won't want to come home afterwards he enjoys it so much. We would highly recommend Robin as a dog caregiver.”
15. Maddy H.
“It was great that our cats adapted quickly to Maddy. By the end of our vacation, it was clear they both cats, including our anxious Bobbi, were very comfortable with her. We really enjoyed the pics to be able to see that interaction. Also, both cats were very calm and unstressed when we arrived home. Great job Maddy!!! We look forward to the next time!”
16. Jamie B.

About: A pet is like a child. You love them and want the absolute best for them. As a former dog mom I understand how hard it is to find someone you trust to take care of your pet and love them while you’re gone. That’s where I come in! My schedule is fairly flexible. I have a full time job and prioritize working out, but outside of those two items I’m fairly free and can work to meet your needs. I no longer have any of my own pets as my 14 year old dog passed away last year, but I help care for my parents cats often and love being around animals!
18. Kayla K.
About: I have always had a dog in my home and love being surrounded by them. I have lots experience with different types of dogs so I am equipped with all the tools to help keep your dog safe and happy while out adventuring! Animals have such a big place in my heart that I want to be around them as much as possible. I currently work from home during the week, however, My work schedule is fairly flexible. I am free on the weekends for all the walks and adventures! I will help give your pets potty breaks and walks throughout the day while you’re gone. I will help make them tired and happy! Nothing but tail wags over here.
19. Susan L.
“I’ve known Susan for over 6 years. She took incredible care of my dog Tilly. She came to my house. I never had to worry about Tilly. Susan walked my dog, fed her, stayed w when I worked long hours during COVID when I worked at the hospital. I love Susan, I don’t know what I would do without her in my life. Hire her!”
20. Jeff K.
About: My innate love for nature and all animals while owning several dogs, cats or whatever I'd bring home shows that I'm a natural fit for pet sitting. I am a professional nature photographer who studies habitat and feel I do have a calming connection with pets beyond a warm spot in my heart. I know that all animals bite. I'm retired and have some commitments, but I'm available 7 days a week and on short notice to walk or house sit. I'm not prepared to lodge your pet overnight at this time. However, that may change soon. You can be assured I will focus on your pet and not be distracted or lazy. I will be slow and gentle to gain their trust. I won't train or challenge them beyond their comfort level. Spending the first hour with all of them and doing their favorite things would ensure comfort for everyone.
