1. Morgan N.
“If you’re in need of someone to watch your pets, Morgan is the person! Morgan house sat for us while we were on vacation, and helped relieved the stress of worrying about our pups the whole time. She was fantastic! She treated them as if they were her own. Not to mention she also did a phenomenal job of making sure she picked up after herself and even started a load of laundry for us. Definitely will be using Morgan again in the future!”
2. Tonya L.
“Tonya checked on our pets on a regular basis. She was on time and has looked after our pets many times. Highly recommend for pet sitting.”
3. Nyah W.
“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.”
4. Ren M.
“Ren did a great job taking care of our Golden Doodle. It was great to be able to go out of town and to be able to leave our dog at home where she's comfortable and happy. Ren followed our instructions perfectly, and the house was cleaner when we got home then when we left. It was a pleasure to have Ren take care of Ginger. We will definitely book with Ren next time we go out of town!”

8. Brett C.
“My wife and I have trusted Brett with our bernedoodle, Payton on a few occasions and every time he goes above and beyond in caring for her. He always opens his entire house for her and makes her feel right at home. Brett loves all dogs and would be diligent in making sure your dog would be well taken care of!”
9. Alexander D.
About: My family and I have been raising dogs my entire life (mom was a vet assistant for 20 years), but I have also raised cats, rats, fish, birds, ferrets, bunnies, and even one gecko! I have previously worked at a canine services kennel that boarded pet dogs as well as specialty service dogs (ie. bomb sniffers). I currently have one fur-baby at home, she is a 3-legged dog I rescued who has a birth defect, was emaciated, and riddled with parasites, including heart worm. These days, though, she is perfectly healthy, happy, and weighs a solid 35 lbs. Her name is Dee Dee. We are always careful to lock doors, pick up items off the floor, and we never travel anywhere without our leash and (if possible) harness.
10. Melissa J.
“Melissa was amazing and treated our house, dogs, and fish like her own family! We are so grateful for her and hope she can watch our pups for us in the future!”
11. Madeline P.
“Such a great sitter! Thoughtful and more caring than I could ask for. She even gave our pup a bath. Super communicative. This is our second time having Madeline watch our pup and would love to have her stay at our house with her again.”
12. Meagan M.
“Meagan was great! She stayed in our home with our 3 dogs & 1 cat for a week—the animals were rarely left alone & the house was just as we left it. We can’t wait for our next trip now that we’ve found Meagan!”
13. Tekera S.
“Tekera was amazing, communicates well, punctual and very sweet. My big girls loved her and didn’t want to see her go. We will be booking her again.”
14. Cameron F.
“The dogs and house looked great when we returned home. Would have liked a few more pictures of the pups while away, however they were taken care of.”
15. Melanie P.
“I wish I could give Melanie 10 stars!!! She is absolutely adorable!!! My only child is a very furry, shedding, totally spoiled rotten Australian Sheppard, Buddy Blu. Unfortunately, he developed a tummy ache & I was afraid to leave him home alone. There was no option for me to stay home that day. In at panic, at 4:30 AM, I reached out to Melanie via Rover.com. She answered right away & said not to worry, she’d take great care of Buddy and that she did!!! Buddy and I met her at the door & she immediately gave Buddy a big hug, scratch behind his ears, then gave me a huge hug! She again reassured me they would have a grand day! Before I left I couldn't help but chuckle as I overheard her teaching Buddy French! Melanie sent me a million pictures and videos throughout the day. When I got home I truly believe that every ball & toy of Buddy’s was in the back yard!!! All I can say is that we love Melanie and can’t wait to see her again. She is a lover of animals and people! 5, 10, 15 stars!!!”
16. Emily G.
“Emily (and Devin) were fantastic with Dominoe!! There's always an uneasy feeling leaving your pup with someone new for the first time, but Emily sent plenty of pictures, videos, and updates and I felt comfortable knowing my pup was having a good time and that she was so attentive to him. Great communication and puppy love—I will 110% be booking Emily again and highly recommend her for pup sitting.”
17. Hope P.
“Hope was a wonderful sitter for my Westie. She stayed overnite for one nite. She was prompt, sent me a picture when she arrived, walked her and fed her. Will definitely use her again!”
18. Tabitha M.
“Tabitha was amazing! She was very responsive to my initial inquiry about her availability, she showed up on time to the first meet with out fur babies, and showed up exactly when she said she would day one. She sent photos throughout the weekend, and was communicative about how the pups were doing. I will definitely be having her sit for us again!”
19. Kylah P.
“Kylah watched my two dogs for a weekend while I was away and did amazing! My dogs can be a little high maintenance but she was able to do it without any issues.”
20. Mariarenee C.
About: I love taking care of dogs and training them. It always brings me happiness when dogs show their personalities. I love all types of dogs hyper, calm, clingy, etc. They can whine till they dine and I will love it! I have been struggling to find a job and have been wanting to find something I truly enjoy and to me animals has always been what I wanted to pursue I currently am fully up for anything asked for. I do own two dogs but they can be put away into a separate part of the house they are friendly and we have a very open fenced yard for dogs to run and play. I will always be with the pet and will send updates throughout the day of how they are doing.
