1. Braydon R.
“What can I say about this stellar young man? Dogs don't lie and my timid pointer took to him quickly and my big female GSD was in love. Braydon is the best! Kind, considerate, firm but loving with my two fur babies. He kept me up to date with pics and videos and left my home so clean. He's amazing and I'd recommend and rebook any time. Next time now that I know what he likes, I'm going to have special snacks for this guy! He is the best sitter I've had in years!”
2. Sierra R.
“Sierra was LITERALLY the BEST!!! She went above and beyond to make sure my furbabies were cared for! One of our furbabies is pregnant. So she is more needy and had a slightly different feeding routine which was no problem for Sierra! I now feel free to travel knowing that my furbabies will be safe and taken care of! We will DEFINITELY be reaching out to Sierra for any future travel plans! IF YOU WANT YOUR HOME AND FURBABIES TO BE WELL TAKEN CARE OF WHILE YOU'RE OUT...CHOOSE SIERRA! 💖💖💖”
3. Allison S.
“Allison was amazing. She communicated daily throughout the day on how the dogs and her were doing send pics or videos along the way. Gave a strong peace of mind while trying to travel. Will be using her again.”
4. Mary W.
“Mary was wonderful!! Took amazing care of our dogs and even gave them meds. She snuggled with them and loved them like they were hers. Will definitely rebook!”
5. Leandra M.
“Leandra was fantastic! Her communication was excellent and I felt very secure with her watching my dog. She went above and beyond and will definitely book again when I'm out of town.”
6. Michelle C.
“Michelle has been a lifesaver since I adopted my fur baby, Allie, two months ago. She’s done drop in visits and kept her for 5 days while I went on vacation. She is the sweetest & she even did some research on how to keep my rambunctious pup engaged. Michelle is the best! She gets 5 stars from me and Allie.”
7. Sara N.
“Another wonderful service provided by Sara! Our pups were well cared for with daily updates and the house was as we left it when we came back. We will be booking again when needing someone responsible that our pups trust. Highly recommend!”
8. Christen O.
“Chris stayed with our pup in the house for a week while we were out of the country. We have never been so worry free while travelling. She provided updates and photos every day and I feel like my dog and my house were well cared for. Thanks again, Chris!!”
9. Sara A.
“Sara was excellent in watching my German Shepherd mix. He is 1 1/2 yrs old and about 65 lbs. He was adopted 8 mos ago from a kill shelter and suffers from severe anxiety which requires 24/7 attention. Sara was available for a last minute booking and fast in responding. She arrived on time and my brother was able to show her all that she needed to know and introduce our dog. She sent photos of him and checked in periodically with updates of how he was doing. Originally we booked her for 3 1/2 hrs but she stayed 4 hrs to wait until someone got home to be with him. Overall, he was happy and safe and we enjoyed having Sara watch him! We have already booked her for two more days.”
10. Laura B.
“Laura was the best!!! We were pretty nervous about leaving our fur baby with a stranger but Laura did such a great job! She sent daily cuddle and walk pics and helped us keep our super-spoiled old cranky girl on her routine. It was such a relief knowing that Laura was spoiling our dog—we knew we didn’t need to worry about her after the first couple of days of regular updates—which helped us enjoy our 30th wedding anniversary trip out of state. She was also very respectful of our home —even helped with an unexpected (refrigerated) medication delivery which was a huge relief for us. All in all we were absolutely thrilled with her work—highly recommend five stars!!!! (Dog now very clearly misses her—awkward but we’re good with it haha)”
11. Jennifer C.
“Jennifer was so great with our pups! We loved getting pictures daily! And we came home to a cleaner house than we left! We will definitely use her again!”
12. Kimberley T.
“This was our first time using Rover and Kim truly went above and beyond with caring for our fur babies! Although we missed them a lot, we weren’t worried about them at all. Kim provided lots of updates and pictures. I’m super grateful for her and will definitely be booking her again when we need a fur baby sitter!! 💖💖💖 I wish we could give her 10 stars because that’s how amazing she is.”
13. Jada W.
About: I’ve raised a beautiful male german shepherd (my son) and I create bonds with all of my friends and families pets! I am currently back home spending time with my little Bella ( my sisters dog) and she enjoys when I’m back because I love early morning walks. Just graduated with my B.S, home for the summer and very available! I walk my dog every morning and would love to add more fur babies! I have nothing but free time and believe this will be a perfect summer job. I let my son roam the house and he is crate trained. He is great with other dogs! I currently let him play with my little sister’s dog they vary in size but get along very well. We have a fair sized back yard, so I often walk the pups to the park to play.
14. Jordan H.
“Jordan is an absolute GEM of a sitter! We had Jordan stay in home with our three dogs, one of whom is a senior who requires daily supplements, for an extended stay. Not only did we feel like our dogs were well taken care of, we felt peace of mind having Jordan at our house while we were away. Jordan is communicative, reliable, attentive, and a true dog lover!”
15. Ana L.
“Ana was amazing!!! It was our first time using Rover and first time with someone staying at our house. She texted with so many photos and kept us updated. She was so awesome with our babies and I am excited to book her again!”
16. Jenika P.
“Jenika is so great! It’s clear that Maggie & Squat love her, they weren’t nearly as excited to see us when we got home as they usually are. 😂 Great communication, cute pics of your pets, and gives you the peace of mind to be away from your furry loved ones. 10/10 recommend!”
17. Nancy S.
“Nancy was awesome! Was great with all of our animals, from dogs, cats to goats and chickens. She was very accommodating and allowed my sisters two dogs to join in on the fun on a last minute notice, so my sister was so appreciative as well. We would love to have Nancy house and animal sit for us again ☺️”
18. Ashley W.
“Great dog sitter! Loved the picture updates I got! My pets are reactive so it’s nice to find someone who will walk them 3 to 4 times a day, and is comfortable with the challenge.”
19. Brooke B.
“Brooke used to spend a lot of time with my Cheyanne, and was amazing. Chey is usually pretty guarded and slow to warm up due to abuse from her previous owner, but Brooke managed to earn her trust really quickly. She was great at respecting Chey's boundaries and gave her the space she needed. Brooke didn't just take care of her—she played with her and treated her like her own dog. It was incredible to see Chey start to open up again. If you need someone who gets dogs with trust issues, I definitely recommend Brooke.”
20. Chloe W.
“Chloe was wonderful with my Romi. She is kind, sweet and detailed. She stayed the night while I was out of town with family and gave plenty of updates. She took Romi for his walks and played ball with him. She’s a natural with dogs/animals with her day job and experience. He was a super happy pup! My place was perfect when I came back! 100% recommend her.”
