6. Nicole P.


“This was the second time Nicole stayed at our house with our dog Buster while we were out of town. We were away for 10 days out of the country and we were very worried about Buster because he has stomach issues. Nicole was wonderful with him! She accommodated his routine and made him feel very comfortable. Nicole was very proactive - she noticed Buster having more stomach problems after a few days and she contacted me to discuss it. Medicine from the vet was delivered and Buster was back to normal! Nicole is very sensitive to his needs, and she did not mind when he woke her up one morning at 4am to go out. Having Nicole enabled us to enjoy our vacation, knowing she would address any issues that come up. She will be coming again to stay with Buster soon!”


7. Ivon Melissa C.

8. Nicole R.
“It is with great pleasure that I recommend Nicole as a dog walker for Rover. Nicole is a friend that I have known over the last few years. She is exceptionally kind and enthusiastic towards animals. Since I met Nicole it was clear she was an animal and dog lover. In fact, Nicole volunteered to care for my two dogs while away on vacation for the week. We trusted that Nicole would take exceptional care of them. It was evident that she had an instant connection with them. She is hard working and reliable. My dogs were taken on multiple walks a day, fed on schedule, and given endless kisses! I couldn't recommend anyone better for this position. Laura S.”


9. Janine R.

“Janine was everything we hoped for! We have full trust in her taking care of our animals. Our dog is very high energy, and she exercised her more than we ever expected. Our dog loves her. She was also so good with our cats, and one of them is very difficult to please. She also left our home very clean. Will definitely be using her services again! The best. Thank you Janine!”


10. Wendy Johanna B.

“Wendy did an amazing job caring for our beloved beagle Daisy yesterday -- texting us updates on how things were going and even sending us a few photos. She is a great influence on our feisty beagle, and we could see how happy Daisy is to spend time with her. Friendly, responsible, attentive to Daisy's needs, we are 100 percent thrilled, and look forward to booking another session again soon. We are thrilled to have found such a wonderful dog-sitter through Rover.com!”

“Maria took great care of our German Shorthaired Pointed while we were away for 5 days. I greatly appreciated the daily photos of our pup. She has a true love for animals and treated our girl like her own - I would highly recommend Maria to anyone needing a pet sitter!”


12. Judy L.
About: I've taken care of dogs which are german shepard and black lab and cats in the past. I taught them to walk to stand the door to let me know if they need to go outside. I'm currently homebody who is introverted, reading, and love to watch TV/movies. I am available to play, wash, feed, and take them outside to walk often. My one bedroom apartment is very neat and safe for pets to be in. I will look after them very well and great for cuddling. I do have a huge park across the street from my apartment which is great for walks and play.

15. Katie V.

“Wonderful!! Katie is so kind and has the calmest demeanor. As soon as we did a meet and greet I felt so comfortable leaning my dog Sophie in her care. Katie provided photos and in depth updates so I had nothing to worry about! Great communicator and do easy to work with. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again!”
