She manages her time and makes sure all the animals are clean and safe. she ensures that the dogs have gone outside to go potty and get some exercise. All animals have been very happy after her care!”

“Harrison is wonderful with my shelter pup. I’ve also appreciated how conscientious he is of details that matter but that I wouldn’t have thought to orient him to. Sends very cute pictures. Thank you Harrison!!”
3. Rose B.
“Rose is fantastic with our dog. Kind, prompt, and compassionate. He’s not the most active guy and can be stubborn and Rose has embraced it all. We are so lucky to have found her.”
4. Gillian M.
“Jill is the best!! She might be the biggest dog lover I know. Our golden retriever, Sun Valley Serenade, loved nothing more than to walk with her. As frequent travelers, it was important to us that we leave Sunny in good hands while out of town. I’m not sure she even noticed we were gone, once we found Jill to care for her. Highly recommend.”

Yes Jessica has cared for my pets in the past and treated them with tender loving care. I highly recommend her to be a loving pet caregiver for Rover.com.”

“Annie is exactly the type of person I trust with my pets. She is a dog lover and a wonderful human, with a kind heart that animals respond to.

She continued to watch him into his old age, and was able to provide the special type of care senior dogs often require. If you're looking for someone to take care of your animal, Annie is an excellent choice!”

17. Carla V.
“Carla stayed at my home for a week when I was overseas. She took care of my dog, my cat, my parakeets, and my chickens. When we checked in, I could see how happy my dog was. She would run outside, turn around, and wag her tail waiting for Carla to come play with her. Carla also let my chickens free range and watched them closely to ensure no predators were nearby and found a way to get them back in the coop before dark (which usually is quite the effort)! The cat and the parakeets were all in good spirits when I arrived home, and the house was so clean! It felt so good coming home to a well organized home with such happy pets. I have so much me peace of mind for future travel that I’ve found someone who does such an amazing job while I am away. Carla is now my go-to house sitter for all my future trips! Thanks so much, Carla!”

20. Allison B.

She is a bit of an animal whisperer - loving, responsible, and kind (my gal Winter absolutely adores her and its clear the admiration is returned!).
