1. Amie F.
“Amie helped me out when I was in a bind. My usual pet sitter cancelled on me 24 hours before I was leaving for out of state. Without any hesitation Amie agreed to come watch my dog and my home for the next 3 days. My dog absolutely LOVED Amie! She even slept with her each night. On top of making sure my dog felt loved, Amie even cleaned up my house for me. It was so nice to come home and my living room was as tidied up, the home had been vacuumed, and the kitchen was clean. Amie was an absolute life saver!”
2. Kathryn R.
“Kathryn did an amazing job with my dogs and my house. The dogs loved her and I got lots of photos of their time together. 100% will engage her again to take care of my babies. Highly recommend”
3. Rod L.
“Rod took great care of my two huskies while I was away on business. He has a way with connecting with dogs and was very attentive to every need and made sure to send pictures and frequent updates, which I enjoyed! When I came home, they hardly got up to greet me - which to me is the mark of a great dog sitter and tells me that he took such great care of them that they didn't miss me much while I was gone... Which is what I want! They absolutely love him, and I 100 percent will be re-booking with him for future dates. Thanks Rod for being such an awesome sitter!”
4. Adrian O.
“Adrian did a great job with our dog and 2 cats. We booked her kind of last minute. She came and met our pup ahead of time. She communicated well and left the house clean!”
5. Logan P.
“Logan was outstanding!! She sent several updates each day which let me know that she understood what was needed to make someone feel secure. I would not hesitate to trust her with my dog moose and my home again.”
6. Julia H.
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter and loves dogs!! She sent us pictures and updates on Murphy throughout the weekend. Murphy loves walks, attention and playtime and Julia made sure Murphy got it all !!!”
7. Courtney C.
“Courtney was the perfect dog sitter! She watched our Roxy for 10 days while we were on vacation during a huge winter storm. Even though it was negative temps she still tried to walk her and she played in the snow with her and just gave her all the love.”
8. Devon D.
“Devon is wonderful! We rescued a dog who is very nervous of people and Devon has such a calm energy that our dog warmed up to her very quickly. Devon was great to communicate with and sent us picture during her stay.”
9. Reed & Natalie N.
“My dog was very afraid of being left alone with a stranger and Natalie did an amazing job of almond him and becoming his new best friend! She kept in constant contact with me. She put forth great effort to make Arlo comfortable. I’m so glad I found her!”
10. Jess P.
“Jess was amazing with my pups! Very timely about visits and understanding of their needs. One of my dogs can be a bit of a grouch and Jess gave him the time and space he needed to warm up to her and he quickly came around to wanting her attention. Lots of updates and pictures, very comforting all around. Will definitely be using her services again!”
11. Kathy S.
“Kathy was incredible. She was patient with our two dogs that have different needs. Lilly is an elderly dog, and Sam is an anxious little guy. Kathy went above and beyond, giving both the extra attention that they needed. She sent me several updates each day with pictures. Anyone would be lucky to have Kathy care for their pets!”
12. Emma V.
“Emma was fun, loving, and attentive. My dogs and cats were really comfortable with her. We were happy she could stay at our house and comfort our babies through a big blizzard.”
13. Sarah H.
“Sarah and Jordean were INCREDIBLE. They are so trustworthy and we felt completely comfortable leaving our (fur)child in their care. We 10000% will rebook every single time.”

“Hunter did a wonderful job with Cocoa! He was super quick to respond to all of my inquiries and was loving and fabulous with our sweet girl. We felt that he did an excellent job and would love to have him look after Cocoa again if ever we are out of town in the future. Thanks Hunter, for your wonderful job and helping us feel secure that our girl was in great hands.”

17. Dee M.
“Dalia is one of the only people I trust to watch my two puppers! She treats them like family, and I always enjoy my time away knowing my dogs are VERY well taken care of and happy. A++”
18. Claire A.
“Claire was so great with our 2 dogs and cat for an overnight stay. It was our first time using Rover and admittedly, I felt like somewhat of a helicopter pet mom going from a trusted friend watching our pets to a ‘stranger’, plus having specific instructions about how to deal with our high energy/anxiety dog and keeping our car separate from our other dog. But with all of those instructions, Claire listened every step of the way and made everything so seamless. I could tell in our meet and greet our fur babies would be in great hands, but she exceeded that. She was extremely responsive, understood this being our first time with Rover, and sent plenty of updates. She’s truly is the reason we were able to enjoy our holiday and know our pups and cat were taken care of. We will definitely be booking her in the future if she’s available whenever we need it.”
19. Leslie G.
“One of the best dog sitters I’ve ever used! She communicated well, sent great photo updates and brought my dog along to lots of adventures and park time!! My dog looked so happy in all the pictures, and I came home to a clean house and happy dog ! Thank you so much!”
20. Hannah S.
“Hannah was fantastic! We hired her last minute and was incredibly responsive. She was respectful of our home and so sweet to our puppies. She sent so many photos and keep us updated the whole time. I would absolutely hire Hannah again!”
