1. Janet K.
“I was absolutely blown away by how amazing Janet is! She was so accommodating of my emergency need and such a wonderful caretaker for my dog and cat. I came home to very calm, happy, and satisfied pets. She set my mind at ease the entire time I was gone and sent me so many regular updates and adorable pictures. I cannot stress enough, you do not need to scroll any more. Janet is absolutely the one! I would rebook her in a heartbeat!”
2. Liz C.
“Liz stayed at my house while watching my small senior dog (that takes meds), middle aged large dog and my cat for a week. It was great to have her caring for them!! She sent all sorts of cute pics - even left Polaroids of each which was the cutest!! She asked questions when needed which I completely appreciate. I really liked that she works remote because my pets are used to me being home. We would love to invite her back!! Thank you so much Liz!!”
3. Nemiah W.
“Nemiah did a great job with her first cat sitting for us. She was conscientious, caring, and kept us posted on how things were going. She left the house very tidy, and our cat was his usual self when we got home. We’ve already booked Nemiah’s next visit!”
4. Zoe P.
“We booked with Zoe last minute as our other Rover house sitter was unable to book with us and I cannot say enough great things about her. She was absolutely phenomenal, we will be booking with her in the future!”
5. Mason H.
“Mason is one word, OUTSTANDING! He is very easy to communicate with, laid back and isn't afraid to ask questions. My pups love him and were at ease with him from the moment they met. While Mason stayed with our pups, they went on multiple walks a day, and he also made sure they got the personal attention they both crave. Mason also kept our house clean and tidy, and that is very much appreciated. Will definitely book Mason again!”
6. Gabriella T.
“We were on the road to Florida and our pet care fell through. I have never used this service, but my daughter told me about it as we were driving. Rather than turning around and canceling our trip, i began digging in to find care. But, a complete stranger in my home for 10 days!?!? The search was on!! It was reassuring that Rover completes background checks on all care givers. After searching, and contacting many employees, I reached out to Gabriella, and she responded so timely. She was on board and available to help me with our Boxer. Galadriel (Ellie), who is truly a love but not good with other dogs. This service and Gabriella, saved our trip!! She was very responsible, trustworthy, and went over and beyond what her responsibilities were. She brought in packages without being asked. She also cared for our Bearded Dragon, Ozzy, because she saw the need. She stayed the night, and basically took care of the house in our absence. I will definitely be referring this service and reserving Gabriella in the future!!! Thank you Gabriella, truly you took a weight off my shoulders at the start of our trip, and kept it off by taking such great care of our Ellie!!”
7. Sasha H.
“Sasha is so great with our two dogs. They love her energy and have so much fun when she’s around. She takes them on walks, takes excellent care of them, and gives regular updates! She is our go-to dog sitter currently!”
8. Nikki H.
“Nikki was wonderful! She took great care of my pup, was very open with communication and followed all instructions I asked her to. Would highly recommend!”
9. Brianna W.
“I have 2 small dogs. I was gone for a long weekend and had her come in 3-4 times a day to let the dogs out, feed them and play with them. Bri was great with the dogs. They liked her from the 1st time she came for a meet and greet. I will defiantly use her again”
10. Jasper S.
“For the time that i’ve known Jasper i’ve seen how much he cares for his pets. His two cats that he has right now require a lot of care and Jasper is always ready for whatever they throw at him. I’ve also witnessed Jasper with my personal cats and he’s always willing to help if needed. I know that this will transfer over to caring for other people’s pets as well. He is trustworthy, caring, and fully capable of taking care of anything thrown his way. He would be an excellent choice for a sitter.”
11. Amy A.
About: I’ve cared for and loved dogs my entire life. I’ve worked with local rescues and currently have two rescue dogs from Alabama, Loki and Lex, that are my obsession and spoiled rotten. I have owned mixed breeds, Rottweilers and Huskies. I do not discriminate and love of every type and every breed. I work from home 60%; hybrid. I walk my own dogs on breaks and lunches. I would be available afternoons and evenings and don’t mind late night visits or walks if you’re a 2nd/3rd shift worker. My own pets have free range of my home and dog beds and toys in every room!! We walk on a daily basis and take car rides and go on adventures! We just got back from a road trip to Florida where we went to Fort Desoto dog beach and the dogs were swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. ☺️
12. Donald O.
“Donald is the most enthusiastic pet parent I’ve ever encountered. He takes care of our cat with her litter, food and enjoys her cuddles. We have dogs in our life through family and friends. He gets so excited to play and walk with all of them. He is a fur dad with pride.”
13. Cloe J.
“I have had Cloe J watch animals for me in the past and I can always count on her. She is so good with all animals.”
14. Maxwell B.
“Responsive and timely. We had last minute plans on Christmas and Maxwell took care of our new puppy so well! Thanks for a Christmas miracle!”
15. Jordan W.
“Jordan is an EXCELLENT dog sitter! It is clearly evident that she loves animals AND a very responsible human!!! Those two traits together, especially at a 10 out of 10 star rating are pretty difficult to achieve. Jordan stepped up to help us out of a difficult situation, never having met us so that we could finish our 20th anniversary vacation knowing our pup was in loving hands. We will be forever thankful for her taking on a task that should not even be asked of a sitter. Jordan FAR exceeded our expectations! The down-side to raving about her is having others scoop her up! (Only half joking ; ) All kidding aside, Jordan loves AND understands dogs plus she makes sure they are well taken care of. Thanks Jordan!”
16. Amanda H.
“Amanda was so great! She handled my very particular GSD with grace. She gave my baby lots of exercise and love and updated me often with pictures. She even went above and beyond and watched over our reptiles as well. We came home to a happy and tired pup.”
17. Meghan M.
About: Hi my name is meghan and I love pets! I’ve always helped around in my neighborhood with pets and family friends, so I figured why not help anyone who needs it?! I am very good with dogs and I love all! I am pretty flexible with my schedule! I am willing to do extra things if needed as well! I am a nice caring person who will take good care of your pets when needed! If something is different that I had selected than what you’re looking for, just let me know and adjustments can be made depending on what it is! I do work from home so this is also a plus for the fur babies who don't like to be alone! Can't wait to meet you and your fur babies! I work full time from home so I have unlimited time with your fur babies! My schedule is pretty flexible and depending on the weekend I am able to help as well. I love to take dogs on walks to help them if they have a lot of energy as I still do work during the day. I am really accommodating to each family as they let me know what their pet needs or works best for them! I only go to the clients home, so that also makes it easier for the pets (they don't need to be nervous about being somewhere new!)
18. Maria V.
“Maria is a caring person who adores dogs. I’ve seen her interact with he own dog and my dogs. I would trust her to care for my dogs. She’s a natural!”
19. Amanda P.
“Amanda was so sweet, & clearly and animal lover! Our dog is so skeptical with new faces typically and she immediately went to Amanda for some love! She sent photos throughout the night as I asked of her! 10/10 recommend!”
20. Morgan L.
“Morgan is awesome. I was really nervous about leaving my pups and having someone stay at my home. My pups are my kids and, like anyone, I'm always worried about them. Morgan was amazing. She was in continuous contact with me, sending me photos and texts to let me know what they were up to while I was gone. She was super easy to book, very inquisitive about what she needed to do and genuinely cares for animals. I will always use Morgan when she is available. The hard part about giving her a glowing review is now I have to compete for her time! Seriously though, she's awesome.”
