1. Marilyn O.
“Marilyn took care of our whole FARMILY! We have a dog, a cat and a rabbit! They all love her! It’s just like grandma is coming over and spoiling the grandkids! Our dog gets so excited when she comes over! I am pretty sure she takes him on extra walks, which he doesn’t mind at all! She finally found a treat that our cat loves! The rabbit seems perfectly content with the fact we leave him with Marilyn. We will call on her again next time we are headed out of town. She’s great!”

About: I've grown up taking care of dogs/puppies, cats, kittens, baby deer grown deer, elk, Buffalo, and horses. (We have a farm;) they're a part of my world and they make my life more beautiful. Wouldn't imagine life without them or my kiddos! I have two dogs and a cat and I have been the cat and dog sitter for a few of my friends for years now. I know the stress of having to find good care for my dogs and I don't take it lightly when I'm asked to care for other people's pets. Pets get used to us being around and can get stressed when we're not with them. I get this and want to ease their stress so your stress is eased too. I've got a flexible schedule to do the job! I can come by for a short visit or a longer one to hang with your animals so they're not alone all day. On occasion and with the right fit, I can also have a dog or two in my home for longer periods.

“Kennedy has a kind loving soul that pairs perfectly with animals, children, and adults alike. She has experience with dogs and cats. Living creatures instantaneously fall in love with her energy as her personality illuminates the world.”


5. Kaleigh A.
“A friend of our was originally supposed to watch our dogs, but canceled just a few days before we were going to leave. Kaleigh SAVED the weekend by being absolutely wonderful with her communication, walks, and the peace of mind she gave us when we had to make such a big change on such a short amount of time. We truly appreciated her help and would love for her to watch our dogs anytime! We would also highly recommend Kaleigh to anyone! Thank you again Kaleigh for all your help, care, and compassion with our pups!”


6. Emily M.

“I am very please with Rover. I got the recommendation from a Nurse friend of mine. I tried the dog walking part of Rover. My dog is a guide dog but needs an outing in the evening as I work late. Emily did an amazing job and I felt very safe and secure letting my companion go with her. Rover lets you give your animal companions the addition of new friends and new explorations and the bestr of care. Thank you.”


7. Cailin M.

“Cailin was awesome! I needed a dog walker last min and she responded within the hour. She sent me lots of pictures of my puppy and even brought a package out of the rain for us! I will definitely be a repeat customer. My dog loved her too!”


8. Rebekah D.
“As long as I've known Rebekah she has always loved animals and had a pet of some kind (even a fish when we were young adults living on our own for the first time). She has always taken wonderful care of her furry family and mine!”




9. Elishamaria R.
“I am a dog trainer. I worked along side Elishamaria when she worked in a dog shelter. She is amazingly calm with the dogs, enabling her to interact with a wide range of dogs and doggie behaviors. She is also very conscientious about the care and safety of the dogs, looking out for her charges above and beyond the average person. You would be lucky to have Ish as your dog walker or sitter!”


10. Maelynn R.
About: I have taken care of family friend’s dogs for about 2 years. I help take care of their pups and take them on walks! Also, I have two puppies of my own so I am accustom to high energy! I currently am a part-time worker, but I am available Tuesdays and Thursdays! As of right now, I am only available from 10:00 AM through 2:00 PM. I can be flexible with that time frame though! I have two puppies of my own so I am accustom to taking long walks. Also, I help take care of my family friend’s dogs. We take walks around the block, sometimes longer than that!

12. Britney M.
“Want someone who will take care of your fur babies like her own? Then you've found Britney! Britney is a wonderful and caring fur mom! I have trusted her with my own fur babies when I haven't been able to be home. She always sends me pictures of my littles and let's me know how they're doing. She'll take care of anything from cats to dogs and possibly other fur babies! Seriously if you want someone you trust who is super sweet book with Britney! ❤️”


13. Carter D.
“I’ve known him for his entire life. He is kind, smart, and has always loved animals. He grew up with cats and currently has a well-behaved Pomeranian who is incredibly kind and loyal. I would leave my dogs with him while I’m on a trip in a heartbeat. My dogs would be loved and spoiled while in his care. 10/10 recommend.”

15. Abigail S.

“Thankful for Abigail. She made sure my Sky dog had plenty of water and always turns my alarm back on when the walk is complete. She is easy to communicate with over text and I love seeing the pictures of Sky before and after the walks.”


16. Aarika H.
About: Absolutely love animals so very excited to be helping others care for their furry loved ones! I’m very active and enjoy walks, so let me take your doggy with me! Have always been patient and kind with animals, because I understand they don’t always trust other humans besides their owner. I’ve had cats my whole life and used to have 2 small dogs my self as a child, but I have helped many friends care for their dogs and eventually I hope to have my own dog in the future, as well, but for now I plan to just have fun with dogs through this app! Can’t wait to meet your furry friends!! Currently working from home so have plenty of time to help you with the care of your animals! I’m not able to board yet, but hopefully someday. Please inform me on how you want care to be for your animals and I will do just that! I can feed/water as needed, play with the’m, give any medications needed, or just love on them!


17. Riley H.
“Riley watches my little Barkley regularly. He always seems so pleased with her watching him, he doesn’t want to come home with me! One time, Barkley had some fun in the mud and Riley even sent him home with freshly washed paws! I’d even go as far to say I’d trust my family in her care. Thank you for watching over my fur-baby, Riley :)”


18. Patricia W.
About: I have had my own personal pets since I was 10. I have also walked and pet sat both friends, family friends, and family since I was 10 as well. I even have house set to Great Danes it was for a whole week while my aunt was on vacation, and she said I did an excellent job. The other people I have pet sat for and walked have said I have done excellent jobs as well I currently work five days a week during the summer because I am a college student, but during the school year I work part time about four days a week, which equals out to about 25 hours a week, so I’d have plenty of time to fit in your pet into my schedule. As of now I’m doing dog walking to get started, but when I go to a clients homes I will make sure the dogs are loved and cared for have food and water, take them on walks, and play with them. They would also get lots of snuggles of course. During walks to if it’s hot I’ll make sure they have plenty of water, so I carry a water jug with me, and when it starts getting colder in the colder months I will make sure I have items to accommodate for when the weather is cold while walking a dog. Also, if I pet sit I will make sure if your animal needs routine medication that the medication will still be taken on a routine schedule.
