1. Mo F.

“It was great having Mo stay at our house over the long weekend. We were sad to not have our pups camping with us but it was nice to know they were in good hands! Received many great photos of our pets relaxing around the house and eating meals. Came home to no mess and happy animals. Would definitely hire her again in the future!”


2. Destinee K.

“Destinee was great with my angel girl! Super sweet and considerate—will absolutely be booking with her again ☺️”


3. Kayla C.

“Kayla is an amazing sitter. She took care of our two reactive fur babies for a recent weekend trip out of state. It was our first time entrusting anyone outside of family and close friends with Bark and Hachi and Kayla quickly won over both of them. We are so excited, relieved, and grateful. We will definitely be staying in close touch !”


4. Catherine B.

“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


5. Kayla S.

“This was our first Rover experience and Kayla was terrific! She updated us daily with pictures and comments of Gracie while we were away for the week. During our meet and greet she was very professional and kind with us and Gracie. We 100% recommend her and will be contacting her again if we go away. She did a great job taking care of our pooch!”

About: I love all types of dogs! I love going for walks and I don't mind the cold. I have been pet sitting along with house sitting since I was a teenager, and have had small, medium, and large dogs my whole life, and I am even used to pullers! I have had cats of my own in the past, as well as foster many cats from a local rescue- so I'd love to watch cats too! I volunteer with a local pet rescue shelter and have seen all types of temperaments. I am also a licensed special education teacher, and I love working with people as well as animals! I have always had pets growing up, so I understand the trust that is needed to leave your fur-baby with someone else, and I assure you, I will care for your baby as my own! I would love to hear from you and your fur baby for a meet-and-greet! I am a teacher, which means I am available weekdays after 4pm, and most weekends, feel free to check my calendar or message me with any questions! Pet safety is a number one priority! As a fur mama myself, I know how important your pet's safety and happiness is! I look forward to meeting you and your dog(s) and/or cat(s)!


7. Lila P.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


8. James M.

“James & Reichel did a fantastic job with our furbaby, Oscar. They were always responsive and prompt, and we would definitely hire them again!”


9. Tosya F.
“Tosya was great taking care of our French bulldog, Chloe. She followed all of our instructions, respected the house and left everything the way she found it. Chloe at the time had a pre-existing minor injury from playing and running too hard (she will play fetch and run around until exhaustion), and Tosya took extra care to not exacerbate Chloe's injury, no matter how much Chloe may beg even when injured. Chloe is a cuddle bug and loves attention and Tosya was more than happy to cuddle up and give Chloe lots of pets and attention. We also have an antisocial cat and Tosya respected his space but made sure he was in the house, fed and had water. We were very happy with hiring Tosya as our pet sitter and recommend her for anyone else looking for a reliable person to watch their fur-babies.”


10. Haleigh G.


“We came home to a happy and well cared for dog! Haleigh sent us updates and pictures throughout the week to let us know how our dog was doing! We loved getting these updates.”


11. Cameron L.
“I wholeheartedly recommend Cameron as a pet caregiver. Her genuine love for animals is evident in every aspect of her life—whether she's caring for her own pets or volunteering at animal rescue centers. Having grown up with both a dog and a cat, Cameron has an instinctive understanding of animal needs, and her passion shines through in her attentive, loving approach. Cameron’s clean and active lifestyle ensures that every pet in her care receives the best environment possible. Her willingness to stop and pet animals wherever she goes is a testament to her affectionate nature and dedication. With Cameron, you can trust that your pet will not only be well-cared-for but will also enjoy a joyful, engaging, and safe atmosphere.”


12. Cara M.

“Excellent care for our 3 dogs and cat. Cara made sure our special needs dog got what he needed. Cara respected our home and left it as she found it. Great communication throughout. We will book her again!”


13. Ainsley M.
“Ainsley has been caring for a wide variety of fur babies since she was able to walk. Dogs, cats, rats, snakes, birds and guinea pigs- you name it, she's cared for at least one! Ainsley loves all living creatures. She is both compassionate and level-headed. She knows how to work with dogs on basic commands and how to administer medication. Finally, Ainsley is responsible and dependable - a great fit for pet care.”


14. Megan F.
“Megan is an animal lover to her core and is a wealth of knowledge of dogs! She loves all animals as her own and is a pleasure to work with.”


15. John T.

“Excellent! Will book again in the future!”


16. Kailin D.

“Kailin was a great companion for our pup! She exercised the dog often and was always available for updates. We definitely plan to use her for walking and house sitting needs in the future.”


17. John C.

“Jack did a fantastic job watching our two pups for a week. The communication was top notch; we received daily updates with lots of pics. Our pups were in good hands!”


18. Patricia H.
“Patricia did an outstanding job for us when she pet-sat for our dog and cat! She was friendly, organized, caring, professional, and extremely capable. She also was unfazed by the many details we gave her about caring for our finicky pets, and she followed our instructions to the letter. While we were away, we felt 100% sure that Patricia was taking good care of our animals. We enjoyed receiving updates from her each day. When we returned, we found happy animals and an extremely tidy home. Patricia went above and beyond to do her job with excellence, and we will be delighted to hire her again in the future.”


19. Johnny & Lexi L.
“I can't recommend Johnny enough for anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter or dog walker! Johnny has always had a natural gift with animals, and every pet he cares for instantly feels comfortable and safe in his presence. Whether it’s his gentle nature or his attention to detail, Johnny goes above and beyond to make sure pets get the best care possible. He’s incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and truly treats each pet like family. If you want peace of mind knowing your furry friends are in caring hands, Johnny L. is the one to call!”
