1. Angelina R.


“I can't endorse Angelina enough. I've only had my puppy for a month, but I had to leave town for a memorial service. Angie came for a meet and greet and my boy loved her. She texted me photos all weekend, and even did a little training with him. I feel so fortunate to have found her through Rover. She's your girl!”


2. Christian D.

“We enjoyed meeting Christian and Holly. They were a great team with Ruby. They took really good care of her. They were responsive with pics and texts. They took great care of our home. Ruby was happy when we arrived home. We were extremely satisfied and would definitely recommend . We will definitely book them again.”


3. Devaney C.

“Devaney was amazing with our high energy/high anxiety pitty mix. We were so nervous to leave because last time when we didn’t have a sitter (just intermittent walker/feeder) she tore up the place with anxiety. Devaney sent me frequent updates and pictures all weekend and we even came home to a very clean apartment. She gave my cat lots of loving as well! 10/10 recommend and will be booking with her again!”


4. Christina E.

“This is our second time working with Christina, and she is so good with our kitties. I am especially grateful that she was able to help when our flights were delayed coming home to make sure our girls were fed and safe. Thanks again!!”


5. Sarah B.

“Sarah was EXCELLENT as a dog and cat sitter for us!! She was able to manage our three wild dogs and cat beautifully. They LOVED her and we got frequent updates. She woke up early to get them out and made sure they had love, attention and walks throughout the day. Was very respectful of the house and our rules. The dogs and cat can’t wait to see her again!”




6. Lucy G.
“Lucy was fantastic! She communicated regularly with us throughout her stay at our house. She was conscientious and friendly. When we returned, the house was immaculate. Highly recommend!”




7. Elizabeth O.

“Elizabeth was a pleasure to work with. She arrived on time and checked in with us frequently during our weekend away. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands and that she treated them like her own, even our little dog who can be tough to deal with at times. We would definitely use Elizabeth again!!”


8. Riley W.

“Riley is great! He met with our Poppy girl and even with her being such a leash reactive dog and very shy, he chose to sit her. I’m so grateful for him. She did great with him and he was giving us updates regularly. Thanks Riley!”


9. Kennedy C.
“Kennedy is great with animals and she loves animals so much. If I had pet i’d let her watch and care for my pet if i’m not available.”


10. Courtney A.

“Courtney arrived 15-min early before we needed to leave. She did an outstanding job with our puppies while we were away. No accidents in the house! She occasionally sent us photos of the puppies while we were away. Courtney is a person of good character and work ethic you can trust.”


11. Morgan E.


“Morgan was great! She was prompt in all her responses, sent at least daily updates and left our minds at ease that our dogs were well taken care of while we were away. Highly recommend her and we look forward to using her in the future.”


12. J.J. V.

“We are so happy that we found J.J. my wife was having surgery and we hired J.J. to sit with our boy. J.J. was very open with his availability and was able to change the hours as needed. Having J.J. stay with Tucker allowed me to give my full focus to my wife and her recovery.”


13. Octavia G.

“Octavia was very patient, observant, and a good problem solver with our socially resistant dog who can nip at people he doesn’t know. She has her own dog so is not doing this to get her dog needs met, but to make a living. She was a reliable communicator.”


14. Anna M.

“Anna took great care of my dog, Maisy, while we were away for 4 days. She sent multiple updates daily and let us know her schedule for when she would be in and away from our home. We will definitely use Anna again!”


15. Andrew C.
“Andrew has cared for my elderly chocolate lab for several years and he has done a tremendous job caring for her as she has aged. She still has a lot of pep on certain days and enjoys her walks and playtime with Andrew. She knows the sound of his car and when he arrives and is more than excited to see him. You can tell Andrew cares for her as much as she loves him.”


16. Alisa M.

“Alisa is such a pleasure to work with. She’s a true animal lover and is amazing with my shy girls. She’s super responsive and reliable. Can’t wait to work with her again!”


17. Melanie O.

“Melanie really helped us out with our 2 dogs and cat when we were in a jam. Over a 10 day stay she eased our mind by providing thoughtful updates and letting us know when one of our dogs had an injury. Knowing she was there made us feel so much better about leaving and we would definitely reach out to Melanie again!”


18. Brianna P.
“Brianna is a responsible and mature young lady who has taken care of my dog in the past. Always been a pleasure and such a helpful individual.”


19. Michael M.

“Our pets were so well cared for by Michael! He was very communicative and sent us a picture and summary of their day each day. I'm grateful and would love for Michael to care for our pets again.”


20. Amanda K.

“Took amazing care of my dog and my house. Great communication. 10/10 would recommend.”
