“Jennifer was an excellent sitter for Bruce! She scheduled a meet and greet several days before her first time with Bruce. She arrived promptly and asked all the right questions to confirm to me that I—and Bruce!—were in good hands when she would be taking care of him. Jennifer is pleasant, communicative and very reliable! I definitely recommend her to you! And, I’ll be using her again! THANKS!”




10. Caitlin C.
“Caitlin is amazing! After meeting her I knew my cats and dog were in great hands! She goes above & beyond, and took excellent care of them, who LOVE her! She is definitely one of the only people I would trust leaving my fur babies with! 10 out of 10, would recommend!!”


11. Brigitte M.
“Brigette is the best! She takes fantastic care of all of my dogs. They are very active and needy, but she always plays with them and takes them for long walks, which helps with them being so active. Brigette is always my go-to!”


12. Alicia B.


“Alicia was absolutely wonderful. My fiance and I were hesitant to try Rover, but are so glad we did. Alicia came for an initial meet and greet with our dog, Apollo. He loved her from the moment he met her. Alicia met with us for quite a while and answered all of our questions and concerns - she made us feel at ease. We were impressed because before she left, she asked, "Are there any other questions or concerns you have? If you have any questions later, please feel free to ask." Alicia stayed at our house for 4.5 days. Throughout our mini vacation she was AMAZING at sending us pictures and updates. Apollo can be a picky eater at times, and she even worked with him on that. She kept us informed on his potty breaks, whether he ate all of his food, what they were up to throughout the day. When we came home the house was just how we left it. Apollo was so happy when we came home (NOT depressed like in the past) - you could tell he had been very well taken care of and active while we were gone. We would love the chance to use Alicia again in the future. Thanks Alicia!”

15. Jenny C.

“I trust Jenny fully when it comes to taking good care of my two doodles. They are loved, exercised, fed and kept safe while in her care. She does an excellent job communicating to the dogs and us humans, which I appreciate. I highly recommend hee over large doggy day care centers in town because of the individual attention my dogs receive.”


16. Reegan L.
“Reegan shows a great love for pets. She is very patient, caring and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for not only her own but for someone else’s pet, as well. She has also shown to be very trustworthy and dependable.”


17. Scott S.
About: I already know how to give certain medications, train certain tricks, and take care of old dogs that might need an extra boost. Im also very willing to learn something I may not already know how to do! I also don't just take care of your pets but your home too, if you need plants watered, trash taken out, mail picked up... just let me know! I Currently work some weeks from 3pm-9pm Monday-friday but my schedule is not always this way. If your pet needs extra care during this time that is something we could work out aswell! I try my best to step into your shoes while you are away to keep your pets routine very similar to what they are used to, but I also try to do extra fun things with them so its like a mini vacation for them while you are on your vacation! I keep a happy environment for you and your pets.


18. Abby S.

“Abby was a last minute find and was wonderful! She was really great at communicating before and throughout her stay with our two dogs. She sent photos and we could tell our dogs were really happy with Abby upon our return home. We’d be happy to have Abby back to our house to watch our pups again.”


19. Shawn S.

“We have had Shawn stay in our home and take excellent care of our sweet pet, Minuet, before. As always, we felt comfortable and confident that Shawn took excellent care of Minuet and our home.”


20. Erica J.

“Erica loves animals and Luna loves people so I was comforted by several updates with pictures. Luna was happy. And Erica took her to the coffee shop for a pup cup! Luna knows her way around the drive thru circuit for milk bones and ice cream 😉 But the real drama was calling her at the last minute and she was able to take care of Luna during a holiday. Another sitter on Rover was booked but recommended Erica and you know the rest of the story. Luna was happy when I came home ❤️ Thanks again Erica!”
