“Chase is a very nice, quiet young man. my dog Romulus felt very good and safe with him I need someone more frequently than he can work but he was very kind and good with my dog with separation anxiety. he was punctual on the meet and greet as well as on the booking.”
2. David H.
“First time using this Rover app..and David ended up being a great first pick. He was very helpful in explaining how the app worked. We worked out all the details at the meet and greet. And everything turned out great! I was a little apprehensive of leaving my dogs at home with someone i just met... and they normally go everywhere with me..but unfortunately I was moving out of my second apartment and couldn't bring them with. David assured me they would be fine and he sent a texted me at each visit and even sent a pic (confirmation that they were still alive..lol) Which did put my mind at ease. He did a great job! I would definitely call on him again, if need be. Thanks!”

“Michele was a delight. Very prompt in responding to questions, on time for meeting up, provided lots of photos, and, most importantly, my dog loved her. Super satisfied with our first experience of having a house/pet sitter.”
4. Marin K.
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since the age of 3. I occasionally watch my father in laws dog as well as my mother in laws dog who is very spoiled, which is saying alot since we all spoil our babies. I have 2 of my own fur babies, both part chihuahua one is a Ch-eagle and the other is a Shep-Chi, letting them out for the bathroom breaks, making sure that they have food and water, also bathing when necessary every day. I have a fenced yard of a decent size where they can run and play, they can also stay inside with the air conditioning with plenty of indoor and outdoor toys.
5. Angela B.
“Angela was a delight to have in my home. She quickly won the delight of my two Great Danes who followed her where ever she went, and most importantly to me felt safe with her. She was care full to follow all of my instructions and called when she needed clarification .”
6. Austin C.
“They were wonderful watching my Whippet Isabel when I came into town to visit. Will definitely hire them again!”
7. Caleb J.
“My dog, Boo, absolutely loved Caleb. Caleb house sat and took care of my dog for 10 days. He always responded quickly when I sent him messages. He was very respectful of my home and things were in good order when I returned. I would highly recommend him if you need someone to care for your family pet while you are away. Caleb is also very personable and easy to talk to.”
8. Binky C.
“Binky is one of the best dog walker/sitters I have ever used. My dog Teddy absolutely adores Binky and he’s not a big fan of most people. Binky has watched our dog at our house and at her house. We always came home to a happy dog. I would recommend Binky 100% to anyone looking for a dog sitter or Walker.”
9. Chyann W.
“Chyann Wood has been an excellent dog sitter for me in the past. She has cared for my four (4) dogs while I have been out of town and they absolutely adore her. She is attentive to their needs and is able to provide the continuous care they demand. I would highly recommend Chyann to help care for your pet(s).”
10. Devon H.
“Devon was great with my dog Mickey! She kept me updated on how my dog was doing throughout the day by sending me pictures. Definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their furbabies!”
11. Jason W.
About: I'm a honest trustworthy person who makes it my mission to be dependable and I love dogs! So I thought I'd give this a try! Gotta be better then dealing with the public right? I currently have nothing but kids and dogs to watch so it fits in my life perfectly! Id much rather be working with animals then working at the conor store Every dog / cat is different and requires different needs so basically I Treet my fur babies as family and do my best to raise them right!
12. George M.
About: I have grown up with all sorts of critters and have loved each and every one of them. As a child I would walk the neighborhood dogs, feed friends cats, bathe our family dogs, and rescue any animal that needed some TLC such as owls. I’ve taken this lifetime passion of mine and created my own website in addition this ROVER account. I am grateful for the opportunity to meet you and your fur-babies! I’m currently working a part time early morning job. I am available from noon to early mornings. I can do walks, drop ins, overnights and extended home stays. Your pets safety and happiness is the pinnacle of each stay. I will ensure they are fed on their usual schedule, taken out for potty breaks, given walks if permitted, and get lots of love and pets. I like to enrich good behavior with healthy safe treats and bring a bag for each visit. During each visit I make sure to message/call to let you know how they are doing, send pictures of their fun adventures, keep my cell phone near by in case of any emergency.
