1. Michelle Z.
“Michelle was great with our 2 dogs. One dog is very shy, and nervous. Michelle gave her the space & time, to be comfortable with her. She took great care of the dogs, as well as, our home. She was great at communicating, sending updates, and pictures. We'll definitely be using her again.”
2. Diamond G.
“Diamond is great! She came and was on time. I needed her from 1 to 5 on a Saturday. She sends me pictures of the dogs. She is super responsive and responsible. She needed to let them out and feed them. She plays with them and they seem to respond well to her. I will ask for Diamond again!”
3. Charles M.
“Charlie did a wonderful job with my pets. They loved him and acted like they had known him for years! Charlie took notes, sent pictures, and did everything so I had not one concern about my silly golden and talkative cat . The most amazing thing is that he did this on a VERY short notice when I had to go out of town unexpectedly!! He was a true help to me! I would definitely call Charlie again!”
4. Haley P.
“Haley was great! Super communicative and sent lots of photos. Very respectful and flexible, you could tell she really cared about the pets. We didn’t worry at all leaving them in her care!”
5. Gwendolyn C.
“Gwen did a great job! She communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us plenty of updates.”
6. Brittany E.
“Our original sitter canceled the day before our trip, and we were so relieved that Brittany was available last minute. She arranged a meet and greet the same day we reached out and started the booking the very next day. She took amazing care of our two dogs and two cats while we were away for three days and sent regular updates. We’re so grateful and will definitely book with her again!”
7. Joshua C.
“I highly recommend Josh to stay with your pet! He stayed with my dog Diesel over this past weekend at my house. When I returned home Diesel was very happy and my home was in perfect shape. While I was away Josh sent several pictures of them taking walks together and playing together. They had lots of fun and Josh really focused on Diesel. I will definitely book him again when I need to be out of town.”

11. Kim K.
About: I’m a grandma with three little kitties. I have two children. A 24 year old and a 18 year old. I’ve had pets my whole life. Cats, dogs and caged animals. 😊 love taking dogs for walks. There’s a trail near my house to walk in. Brings such joy to my life. I’ve always had pets as long as I can remember and since I live in an apartment this is the next best thing. I’d love to bring some joy to your pets life. Walking, visiting, and most importantly loving your pets the way you do when your not around. I’m currently unemployed working on getting certified to run a daycare at my house so I have lots of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly kitties to keep your pup or kitties company. I also love going for walks. I can also crate if needed.
12. Kalyope M.
“I worked with Kalyope at a doggy daycare/boarding facility and I can say she truly gives it her all. She is punctual, reliable, caring, and very thorough with her everything she does. You can trust her with any and all of your pet's needs!”
13. Sarah B.
“Sarah did a rely nice job with Fergus. He suffers from anxiety and when we got home from our trip he didn't even seem to have missed us. It was nice to see he was able to relax with Sarah there.”
14. Megan G.
“Megan did a great job watching our two German Shepherd’s while we were out of town. She came over for a meet and greet to make sure the dogs were comfortable before we left. She sent updates during her stay”
15. Isabella T.
“We never used a dog sitter before in our home. Isabella was amazing and took such great care of our dogs. Highly recommend her and we will use her all the time now.”
16. Veronique S.
“Amazing! She cared for my animals like they were her own! She would give daily updates and hang around with them for a few hours!”
17. Trina R.
“We met Trina 10 years ago, she is very friendly, reliable and trustworthy. Buster gets so excited when he sees her, we all Love her”
18. Sara J.
“This was the first time I've used Rover and found Sara. Communication was great from the get-go. As this was the first time I let someone else watch Iris (8 months old), rightfully so to be nervous and hesitant. Sara was very understanding and attentive as I went through what Iris needed, how her demeanor is, and all of the in-between. You could tell that Sara genuinely cares and enjoys caring for pets as a side gig. Sara was fantastic and we'll definitely book again.”
19. Derek S.
“Our dog Cali loved having Derek here. Cali loved just hanging out with him plus the extra outside time Derek provided was a real treat”
20. Ellie A.
