“Kim is AWESOME! My dog and two cats approved of her immediately. She does a wonderful job keeping me updated on their daily shenanigans. Kim is flexible and easy to get ahold of. Even when I was in a pinch with some last-minute unexpected travel plans, Kim came through and made sure I would have peace of mind while I was away. We will definitely keep using her services! Thanks, Kim!”
2. Simone S.
“It was my first time using Rover for a last minute booking while traveling. Simone was great! Thank you so much for easing my mind while enjoying my time away!”
3. Dominique G.
“Dominique was outstanding with our pets. As dog owners we tend to always think no one will care for our pets better than we can. Dominique showed those same attributes as if our dogs were her dogs, and that means so much. I would recommend highly using her services for your next drop-in visit request. Can’t wait to book you again!”

5. Holly C.
“Holly was fantastic, she followed directions to a tee during my time of need. I needed to go to Miami to my mother's funeral. She didn't meet Liberty first and she worked through her fear and protection behaviors with unknown people in the house without me there. So thankful for Holly, great person you can't go wrong with her.”

11. Elizabeth B.
“Lizzie is the definition of a dog person. She absolutely loves every kind, and I’m sure she’ll be an amazing help to the team. She’s had multiple dogs in the past so I believe she has good experience to manage any situation she might encounter. I’d totally ask for her to be my dog sitter!”
12. Shannon G.
“Shannon was awesome taking care of our sweet boy! Very communicative and you can see her genuine love for animals. Will definitely be using her again!”
13. Ashley N.
“Ashley is very calm, which is really important with a bulldog because you don't want them to get overheated. I could tell my dog liked her because she was very calm when I came home. All of this is very important to me! I would definitely recommend Ashley!”
14. Fabrice L.
“Fabrice is a dream come true for me and my dog. He is attentive, knowledgeable and knows how to build trust with your companion. My dog can’t stop talking about their walk today and hopes to see him again soon. 10/10 recommend Fabrice for all your animal care needs.”

17. Helen W.
“Helen is a true dog lover. She is able to work with all sizes of dogs. She has worked with a trainer and has a very good understanding of animal behavior and how to work with difficult behaviors. Helen taught me that the dog walk is not just bonding/training time between dog and walker but also an exciting sensory experience that is very important in very dog’s day. She is very dependable no matter what the weather is like. If the dog will go out she will too! She will be an excellent addition to Rover.”

19. Tao L.
“I’m a long time friend of Taos and have two dogs of my own and he takes good care of them when me and my family are out of town. I’ve done longer extended dog sitting up to a week at longest and the dogs love him.”
20. Cameron W.
“I won’t trust just anyone with my animals but Cameron treats my pets like his own! I have 5 rescue dogs of various ages from 1-12 years, each with their own needs. Cameron is very loving and conscientious in dealing with each of them. Additionally, I have 40 fish in a pond and a barn cat so the care needs are very diverse. My dogs love him and he sends me pictures after every visit to give me peace of mind. I encourage you to trust Cameron with your precious fur babies and other critters!”
