2. Serena P.
“I’ve been so grateful for the care Serena has given my two golden retrievers. She’s reliable and dependable, always there when I need her. Whether it’s overnight stays, multi-day care, walks, feeding, or playtime, she handles everything with consistency and care. You can see her natural love for animals in how she treats my dogs—they’re always happy to see her, and it shows in the way she looks after them. I feel confident leaving my girls with her, knowing they’re in good hands. Serena’s thoughtful, steady approach makes her someone I’d happily recommend to anyone looking for great pet care!”
3. Katie S.
“Katie thanks again for taking such good care of our pups! Knowing you're there for them helps us have a more enjoyable vacay!!!”
4. Rachel H.
“Very reliable and great !”
5. Ryan & Jennifer D.
“Ryan and Jenn offer outstanding service in your dog’s care. They currently have 3 rescue dogs, each with unique personalities and needs. Number 4 rescue “Romeo” sadly passed due to cancer. One dog rescued only has the use of 3 legs. Ryan and Jenn use a stroller for his walks, ensuring his comfort and mobility. I have depended on their dog care many times with my own Yellow Lab. They are reliable, trustworthy and deeply compassionate. Knowing that I have someone walking my dog because of a loving passion for dogs gives me all the peace of mind my pet deserves.”
6. Mary B.
“Mary has become our regular dog walker. We are so pleased with her. She is punctual, experienced and caring. When an unleashed dog jumped on ours during a walk, Mary knew just what to do to handle the situation, so neither dog was injured. Best of all, Penny loves her!”
7. Heidi B.
“Heidi took very good care of my little Corgi while I was out of town. Heidi showed up every day, sent me photos of her walking Tubbers, and made good friends with Tubbers. Tubbers will miss Heidi. You can trust Heidi to take good care of your pet.”
8. Wesley B.
“We have known each other for years now and I feel so lucky to know them and have such an amazing, trustworthy, and loyal friend. In this time, I have also gotten to see them interact with various different animals, including my own, and this is without a doubt someone who absolutely loves animals and would do anything to make sure your pets are as happy as can be!”
9. Vivian H.
“Vivian is one of the best caregivers I know. She's attentive, patient, and caring. She is almost like a pet whisperer because she always knows what the pet needs. She also tries to ensure that the pet has a routine and healthy lifestyle by consistently taking it out for walks at specific times and eating two meals a day. She helps them build healthy habits and gives them all the love and attention they need. If your pet needs someone who can keep them on a consistent schedule while also giving them all the love and attention they need, then Vivian is the pet caregiver for them!”
10. Brandi H.
“Brandi was so great with my dogs while I was away. She sent me a detailed report about their behaviors while on their walk. I received multiple great pictures of my babies attached to the report and it made me feel so much better while I was away. As someone who is a first time user of Rover, I am so glad to have found someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and willing to help in any way she can. I highly recommend Brandi to anyone who loves their furbabies”
11. Michael R.
About: As a dog owner for the last 26 years, I know first hand how they can feel like a member of the family. My wife and I both work from home, so I’m available to house sit, make in home visits or for walks if your dog needs company while you’re away. My schedule is extremely flexible, so I’m available to help out with your dog of any age or size anytime of the day or night. We have three dogs at home currently and have had six over the last 26 years. They’re family members at our house will full access to couches and beds, but I’m happy to enforce whatever rules you have at your house. 😉
12. Amanda G.
“The best!”
13. Lori G.
“Lori and I used to live in the same building back in Arlington. I was a newly arrived restaurant manager, overwhelmed and trying to build a life in the U.S., with my Malinois by my side. I didn’t have the time—or the calm—to give her all the love and discipline she needed. Lori saved me. She stepped in and cared for my girl like she was her own. That’s how we became friends—because Lori isn’t just amazing with pets, she’s someone you trust like family. Never judge a book by its cover, but you can judge someone by their dog. And Doc, her Malinois, is as incredible as she is.?”
14. Regan P.
“Regan was super great to work with! Great communication and super helpful!”
15. Abigail P.
“Abigail was fantastic! Our fur baby was instantly connected to her and she took a very good care of him.”
16. Caroline W.
“Very conscientious and got along good with my dog (Ben) .”
17. Ashley W.
About: I have loved animals since I was little and they seem to love me back! I am a former kennel technician for a doggy daycare caring for 60+ dogs of various sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have also been a foster parent for both cats and dogs. I am an equal opportunist when it comes to spending time with animals. I’m trained in animal behavior, animals with special needs, and medication administration. I'm more than willing to follow instructions to the letter as I know how special pets are and I understand wanting the best for them when you’re not with them! I am also a very active person so I'm up for running or vigorous playtime with your pet if they are more energetic than average. I have a flexible work schedule that I’m hoping will work for you. Please let me know if you'd like to discuss what meets your needs and my availability. I hope that a sitter would provide professional, caring, and efficient care with my dog. I’m very cautious about locking doors and generally following directions so as to not interrupt someone’s day.
18. Helena B.
“Helena Brown was wonderful with my dog Zeda! She was caring and would make sure she was always attentive to her needs. Zeda has a bit of anxiety when no one is around but Helena helped ease that anxiety by constantly taking her for walks and giving her play time. I couldn't recommend Helena Brown enough for any pet sitting needs! Zeda truly made a friend with Helena!”
19. Andreea M.
“Andreea is always on time and our dog loves his walks with her. She sends plenty of pictures and videos of the walks so you know how your dog is doing. Highly recommend.”
20. Mark M.
“Mark took great care of our puppy. He was very quick to respond to my request (it was somewhat short notice) and was a lifesaver. He kept us updated and paid attention to our dogs needs. I highly recommend Mark and will be using him in the future.”
