1. Monica D.
“Monica was a great sitter for me. This was my first time using the app and was a little worried leaving my pups with a stranger. One of mine can be kind of a handful as well lol. Monica took all those fears away by being very communicative, taking pictures and asking plenty of questions. I could tell that she really cared for how my dogs felt, not just letting them in and out of the house. Can’t wait to hire Monica again!”
2. Jeremy G.
“Jeremy was fantastic! He went above and beyond to take care of small housekeeping tasks for our kitties, and he captured photos of our babies having fun and playing despite their shy personalities. He was incredibly understanding and accommodating with communication while my husband and I were busy trying to plan our trip, and Jeremy is clearly a natural with animals and a kind, patient soul! We would hire him again in a heartbeat.”
3. Javon L.
“Javon is always so great with my pups! I am confident they are being cared for and loved while I’m out and there are always wonderful pictures at the end of the day. Highly recommend!”
4. Cory W.
“Cory is an exceptional dog sitter! He took wonderful care of our energetic Aussie, keeping us informed every step of the way. He even handled a small accident in the house with professionalism and ease. Highly recommend!”
5. Tanya H.
“Tanya was extremely attentive to our cats while we were gone and very attuned to their body language and (obviously) non-verbal communication. She was also great at communicating with us. Couldn’t recommend a better caretaker - would gladly hire her again!”
6. Torina G.
“Torina was lovely with our pups. It’s always reassuring to know that your furry friends are well taken care of while away. I highly recommend Torina for your pet care needs!”
7. Troy D.
“Troy helped us out in a pinch today and was able to add an additional drop-in at the last minute. Our golden retriever has a mind of her own and he successfully navigated her routine. I will definitely contact Troy again.”
8. Allison G.
“Allison is the best! We’ve had her help us out twice now and she does a great job and our dogs love her - couldn’t ask for better help with our big babies! Highly recommend.”
9. Lisa W.
“Lisa was wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and she made it so easy to work with her. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do and made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat. Will definitely be using her again :)”
10. Patty D.
“She was super accommodating during Christmas and was very nice.”
11. Cory G.
“My dogs and cat were in such good hands. Highly recommend him. Will use again and again. Was in another country and he was so patient with my payment issue. I didn’t have to worry even at 3700 miles away.”
12. Alexandra H.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of Harvey! Ali was wonderful to work with! She was on time and sent a picture of our fur baby during drop in.”
13. Jessica D.
“Jessica did a great job with our dogs! They love to give kisses and play ball and she accommodated that well. Will definitely be using Jessica again!”
14. Andrea M.
“Andrea was on time for each visit and went above and beyond with the communication and photos! Looking forward to having her back for any future needs. Thank you!!!!”
15. Jenea V.
“Jenea did a wonderful job with our babies. One of our cats is pretty grumpy and Jenea did so well with her! Highly recommend her, especially for those who have spicy kitties 😊”
16. Nichole H.
“Our cats are still warming up to the idea of people and tend to hide (even from us on some days), but Nichole did her best to win them over anyway. It gave me great peace of mind to know the person checking on them was so attentive, even if the cats themselves weren't enthusiastic about a new friend. Thanks so much!”
17. Courtney C.
“Courtney was great. Very prompt with her responses and Paxton (my dog) looked to be having a great time in the numerous pictures she had sent on their walk. I would highly recommend her to anyone who does want to have to worry about what hands they are leaving their dog in!”
18. Andrew & Jackson G.
“These guys are amazing. I have a big Blue Great Dane and my dog loves them. They are attentive to him and his needs. Great communication with the guys too. They send pics and great reviews of the day with my dog.”
19. Mikah M.
“Mikah has watched my 6 mo golden retriever puppy and he loved his stay! She is a smart, responsible young woman who loves all animals. I would definitely recommend Mikah to others and I will be using her again in the future.”
20. Cady S.
About: I've raised three of my own dogs and many cats. I used to work with barn cats and cattle dogs as well. I also keep and love fish and will take care of them. I currently work part-time at a doggy day care. I graduated high school this year. I spend almost all my time taking care of my own pets, or working with other's dogs. Half of my yard is fenced and has a pond that my dogs play in at times. Dogs will likely spend most of the time inside the house if they are unable to swim for safety reasons but they will be taken for walks and able to play outside under supervision. Dogs will be given lots of options of toys to play with and will be able to play with my dogs as well.
