1. Bonnie K.
“Bonnie took care of my cats for the first time for two weeks, and she is very thorough and detail-oriented. She was communicative, and promptly replied to questions, even when I was in Europe. I found the cats to be calm and well cared for when I got home. In meeting Bonnie and seeing how she interacted with my two cats, I could see that she’s sweet and patient and a true animal lover. Over the time I was away she was able to interact up close with my black cat, who is typically fussy and doesn’t let anyone approach her except me. Thank you so much, Bonnie!! Having the peace of mind when away from home, regarding the animals is worth so much. Katie”
2. Tyler H.
“Tyler is the absolute best! I work full time and Tyler’s drop ins definitely help the day go faster for Bea. She does zooms around Tyler which she only does with people she’s comfortable with. Tyler is very communicative and friendly, and it’s nice to be able to trust someone to watch Bea. She can be high energy and I can tell that Tyler is patient with her. I definitely would recommend Tyler!”

“First time I've used Rover or a non-friend pet-sitter in general and couldn't have asked for a better caretaker than Miliana! She was prompt with her check-ins and thorough with her photos. I could tell she was giving my cat plenty of attention. When I got home from my trip my cat didn't seem stressed at all.”

11. Amber S.
About: I grew up with a Labrador, Chihuahua, and two Huskies in my house! I can handle all sizes and breeds on walks. I like to go for long walks but can always accommodate to the needs of the pet! I have also helped one of my huskies deliver puppies so I have some experience with expecting mamas and some delivery care. I’m currently teleworking most of the week (schedule varies weekly) so I can walk dogs at most times throughout the day. I’m currently only walking or doing at home check-ins. I can provide a leash if you do not have one for walks. I can also feed your dogs at your house so long as you let me know what they require!
12. Julia C.

13. Alexander H.
“I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter for Shoga! Alexander was great at sending updates and provided daily pictures of Shoga. When he had questions, he did not hesitate to reach out. Alexander was very flexible, easy to work with, super responsive to messages, and was very accommodating to my requests. I highly recommend Alexander and I will definitely use his service again.”

16. Natalie B.
“I have known Natalie for well over a year now, in that time I have come to realize how much of a dog lover she is. She has a beagle of her own and she loves and cares for him all the time. I myself have an older golden doodle who has some serious medical issues. Natalie has been able to care, walk, and give attention to my dog numerous times. Natalie gets along with all dogs and dog lovers alike. She would be a great dog walker for you and your furry friend!”
