1. Zach & Abbey A.


“This was our first time using the Rover app. After finding out last minute we had to fly out for a funeral, we were looking for someone to check in on our pup so she could stay at home. Couldn’t have picked a better option than Zach and Abbey! They took great care of our girl and even made sure her puppy YouTube shows were playing. Highly recommend.”

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!”

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!”

17. Desi S.
“I have known Desi for 6 years. We worked together at a veterinary hospital where I got to watch her interact and care for dogs and cats. She has lots of knowledge in the caring for dogs, as well as any special medical attention they may need along the way. I have had the pleasure of having Desi dog-sit my two big fur babies. She did an amazing job taking care of them and keeping them occupied while we were away. I have nothing but positive thoughts about Desi and her dog caregiving skills! My family would definitely give her 5 star review!! We love her!!! ❤️”

19. Andrea P.
About: I have been around dogs my whole entire life from my family having them to me adopting dogs as well as taking them in when needed and saving them! I have my own dog named Trappy and he loves friends! I work a full time job Wednesday-Sunday until 4pm after that I am available as well as Monday and Tuesday all day. Sundays are excluded. Communication is key I can make arrangements! I do not have a yard so I have to walk my dog and I sometimes take him to the park as I will with your dog to run around as long as we can print out his shots to get his registered for the park!


20. Riley H.

“I needed a drop in cat sitter as I can’t board one of them (vet says no more vaccines for him). Riley lived close and had a good review. I actually didn’t get to meet her and communicated by texts and notes. Was a little worried about having a stranger in my home but everything is fine and the cats seem to have been well cared for. Will use again if available next time I travel.”
