1. Anna D.
“Anna was great with our little big cat! This is the second time she has taken care of him while we were away and will definitely book her again.”
2. Keelyn W.
“Keelyn is amazing with my difficult cat. She’s kind, calm and very patient with our girl, Cali. I highly recommend her for pet sitting. I felt so happy to be away without worrying how things were going at home with the cat. Hiring anyone to come in my home while I am away was an uncomfortable feeling but Keelyn’s personality and experience put me at ease.”
3. Jacquelyn C.
“Jacquelyn was wonderful! She provided daily updates and photos. She followed the instructions perfectly. When we returned home we could our cat and fish were well taken care of. Would strongly recommend her to others!”
4. Stiles F.
“Stiles did drop-in visits for our cat and dog for 2 weeks and did an excellent job. It was great getting an actual pet health professional looking after our pets. Our dog can sometimes take a while to get used to a new person in the house, but Stiles was able to get her to be friendly right away. They also sent us daily photos and comments on our pets' day. Highly recommend.”

8. Christopher M.
“I've known Chris for a long time and have seen first hand how great he is with animals, particularly dogs. He has raised two wonderful dogs of his own and is always eager to help watch and care for his friends dogs.”
9. Danielle M.
“I am writing this reference in regards to Danielle Maltais who has applied to Rover as a pet sitter/walker. I've known Danielle for many years. During that time she has been a pet sitter for my late dog, Beth - an Aussie shepherd mix. Additionally, when a friend passed, there was no one to care for her dog, Tyler, a pug. Danielle adopted Tyler and gave him a wonderful home which he shared with Danielle's own dog, Maisy - a beagle, dachshund, Jack Russell mix. Currently, Danielle often sits/walks our current dog, Freddy - a coonhound mix. Clearly she has experience with various sizes and temperaments of dogs. Danielle is always punctual and reliable. She walks, feeds and cares for the dogs at the appropriate times and places and according to the wishes of the owners. I highly recommend Danielle for a position with Rover.”
10. Stephanie B.
“Stephanie was amazing with my crazy (3) dogs. One is a puppy and fearful, and the other two are sweet but a handful. She successfully got all of them to relax, do their thing, and (best part) sent great pictures. I highly recommend Stephanie!”
11. Ashley S.
“Having Ashley as a pet caregiver has been such a gift! She truly has a special connection with animals, and you can see how much she cares from the moment she meets them. Ashley goes above and beyond, whether it’s keeping routines or sending little updates that put your mind at ease. She’s not only responsible and reliable but treats each pet as if they were her own. If you want someone who will love and care for your pets like family, Ashley is the one!”
12. Joyce A.
“Joyce is absolutely wonderful in taking care of our cats. She is reliable, professional, and my boys love her! I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.”
13. Brianne M.
“Brianne is really good with communication and my cat LOVED her (my cat doesn’t usually like any new people but somehow completely trusted Brianne!)”
14. Alexandra C.
“Alexandra was great - sending regular updates and photos throughout her time with our kitties. Would definitely recommend to others :)”
15. Laura W.
“Laura is fantastic - so responsible and punctual and detail oriented, and she has been so understanding and nice about my nutty schedule. Knowing that my dogs are getting a visit from her gives me a great sense of comfort. Thanks so much Laura!”
16. Galen H.
“Galen was an amazing cat sitter! She asked great questions during our meet and greet to really get to know our cats and what they needed, and her daily updates were detailed with lots of sweet pictures. She even managed to get our somewhat shy kitties to come out for pets and playtime! We would highly recommend her!”
17. Katie B.
“So happy to have found Katie! Has great experience with animals, and my dogs warmed up to her right away. Punctual, responsive, and gave me detailed updates while we were away. Thank you!”
18. Alex P.
“Alex loves animals and has taken good care of our cat and dog (before she passed). Alex is responsible and kind and our cat is happy with the extra attention.”
19. Elena E.
“Anyone who knows Elena knows she gets along better with animals than people. Experienced, patient, attentive, and kind, your fur baby will be excited to be walked by her.”
20. Shea W.
