1. Christine K.

“Christine was very good with my dog. He’s busy and anxious at times. But she was kind and loving to him. She also was able to help last minute as another sitter backed out, causing a fuss- she was helpful and a lifesaver.”


2. Keri S.
“Keri is amazing with pets! She loves animals and I never have to worry when my animals are with her as she is communicative and gives me great updates and photos. She is so thoughtful and takes care of my pets as if they are her own. Keri is the best!”


3. Aliya I.

“Aliya was great with my 2 older kitties while we were away. She sent pics every visit. It was great to see them cuddled up to her. She came and spent time with them. Others, have just came, feed them and left; but Aliya took time with them and gave them love. Will book with her again”


4. Rylie H.
“Rylie is a very responsible and caring individual with a great love for animals! She's done a fantastic job taking care of my pets. Rylie is very patient, quick on her feet, and a great communicator. I would recommend her to anyone - 5 stars!”


5. Emily E.
About: I'm a teacher and an animal lover! I'm great at caring for others. 😄 We have two friendly cats and would love to host some dogs. I'm available most weekends and all summer. I'm available to board your pet most weekends! You can always reach out even if my schedule says not available. Those that have boarded with us love that their pet was clean, relaxed and well cared for. My kids love animals and your pet will be given a lot of attention. We have two cats that we love dearly. Our animals are part of our family. We hope to meet a few nice families that want their pets to get some extra attention in evenings or weekends.


6. Payton S.
“I was nervous leaving my 6 month old golden retriver for the first time, she has a lot of energy and can get herself in lots of trouble. This means that I needed someone who was going to be able to give her ample attention. I asked Payton if she would be willing to watch my puppy for 3 days, and Payton was excited and ready to start. I felt so comfortable throughout the whole stay with Payton keeping me informed as necessary and also sending me lots of pictures so I was able to see how things were going at home. I would recommend her over and over again, her enthusiasm and care was beyond my expectations. I came home to a very happy puppy, and would hire Payton again.”


7. Mariah M.

“Mariah was awesome! She dropped in to check on my cat while I was away. I got regular notes and pictures and she was always on time! Thank you so much for taking care of Whiskey! 💜”


8. Ashley S.

“Lily has been slow to warm up to people since I adopted her last year. She allowed Ashley to pet her and brush her from the first day Ashley stopped in to care for her. I was always relieved to see Lily's picture and read the summary of the visit.”


9. Olivia M.

“Olivia is awesome! My old dog is a handful and she handled him well. She gave me good reports and pictures. Olivia was very helpful, sent get pictures and great communication!”


10. Abby F.
“Abby was fantastic with our cat Bauer, he loved her. She did drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation. He’s an apartment cat that is more like a dog. He needs that daily socialization (more than we can do with our cat laser camera) and he likes to be able to go out on the screened patio for outdoor/bird watching time. Definitely our future cat sitter”


11. Steph B.

“Steph did a great job taking care of our cats! I was nervous because I’ve never used Rover before, but she was reliable, responsive, and super friendly. And took super cute pictures of the cats to send to us which always helps. Will definitely try and use Steph again next time we go out of town. Thank you again! ??”


12. Julia B.

“Julia was willing to help on short notice and kept my boy beans happy and fed while I was out of town. Knowing my cat is ok while I'm gone was a big weight off my mind, 5/5!”


13. Sydney B.

“Sydney was the perfect match for our girl Miley.. 10 out of 10 recommend she kept updated about all of her visits and made us feel very safe leaving our dog in her care. Thank you for doing such a great job😁”


14. Heather A.

“Great sitter, always sends pictures of your pups. Let’s you know how they’re doing. I will definitely have her as a sitter again. She’s was great with my pups and cat they loved her. I recommend her 100% she’s very friendly and great.”


15. Aaron F.
About: I have some experience taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats, but most of my care experience comes from the animals I grew up with in my own home. I grew up with bigger dogs most of my childhood and even had a cat for a short time! I love all animals, big or small. I am a student who is quite involved on campus. I may have some availability during the day, but mostly in the evenings and on weekends. When at your place, I am comfortable taking your pups on walks, playing with them inside or outside, and doing really anything else they may need. I also love playing with cats or cuddling up with either of your pets on the couch if they just need some affection while you’re away.


16. Piper K.

“Piper continues to be a lovely friend to our pup! She makes sure she gets enough play time outside and is very thorough with her notes. Thanks again!”


17. Amanda D.

“I can’t say enough about how great Amanda has been to us. We’ve had her watch our cats more times than I can count offhand and there’s never been a single issue. She is reliable and punctual. She’s the best!!”


18. Jennifer L.

“This was the best service we have ever experienced with our pets. Jennifer was very personable and we felt like we had a friend stopping by to check on our pets. We will definitely be using this service in the future Thanks Mike & Krista”


19. Hannah W.
“We have a 7 year old, 110#, rather finicky German Shepherd Dog who has a VERY short list of people trusted to watch him and Hannah is at the top of that list! We've tried boarding him and he just gets depressed but when Hannah watches him we have no issues and he is well taken care of. Super appreciate her level of care for our dog and would recommend her for absolutely any pet to walk or care for!”


20. Suzuko Y.
“Suzuko has been watching my two dogs and two cats for years. I have never had a problem with her caring for the animals or the house. I have never came home to a mess or had any problems.”
