“Meghan was awesome! We had to go to a wedding and we're unsure of whether or not we'd need to stay overnight. She was super flexible and was able to accommodate us for the extra day. My dogs LOVE her and took to her immediately- which says a lot, as my chihuahua is not the friendliest. Will definitely be using her services again. Highly recommend!”


“What an experience. We have never left anyone to take care of our Domino at home. Instead we would take him somewhere out of the comfort of his own home. Daphne truly loves animals and respect her clients. She even went above and beyond by bringing in our mail. I would refer her and Rover to all our friends ONLY because of our experience with Daphne. 10 stars AMAZING CARING RESPECTFUL!!!”

I’m also very available lately so I’ll be able to walk your puppy as long as they want to! I can also stop in to visit or house your dog if you’re traveling!

“Julie was the absolute the best! She went beyond and so much for our Crumpet. Kept in good contact the whole time and was there for us on short notice and on the holiday. Julie is the best! Will definitely use her service again, and recommend her to everyone!”


“Aletris was amazing! They were incredibly attentive and sweet with our kitty and went above and beyond our expectations. Aletris took the job very seriously and made sure nothing would get in their way of taking care of our fur baby, (even if that means resorting to biking to our house when their family needed their car)! We can’t express how happy we are to have found Aletris and I know our kitty felt the same way! Will definitely be hiring them again for future pet sitting needs!”

I work in the film industry and have insane hours. Rover has been a life saver for me. I understand the need for sitter and how important it is to have somebody treat your pets with the same love and care you do.

Teresa L.
“I have watched Teresa care for her family dog, who lived to be 16 years old. She has always been patient and attentive to the pets in her care. She has also been the primary caregiver to our 14 year old cat. I recommend her for pet care because of her maturity, reliability and compassion for animals.”


Maddy A.

“In a last minute pickle, Maddy was quick to respond and did great with our dog.”


Samantha R.

“Wonderful sitter for my kitty! Takes the time to play and make Piper feel loved.”

Lauren K.
“Lauren is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. She was able to book last minute after my original sitter cancelled. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her watch my pup again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that your pet is well cared for. My dog loves everybody, but he really took a shine to Lauren, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him. She sends pictures and updates, so you know your pet is in good hands.”

“Very happy that I found Lisa! She is very responsive, her service was prompt, and she kept me updated through the entire experience. I will definitely be using her again, and my pup can't wait!”


Tara L.
“Tara has raised the most precious, well-behaved dog I have ever been around in my life. Her attention to detail for her own dog's needs and love for dogs in general is incomparable and anyone would be lucky enough to have her help. If she has long days she'll always make a point to give her dog enough exercise even if it includes not giving herself enough time to make dinner. Being an avid hiker as well always makes her pup happy as she has a lot of insight and access to many hiking trails and lakes. Hiring her to watch your dog will probably make her just as happy to spend time with your dog as it will make you happy in the level of care she will provide.”


Kyra L.
“Kyra has helped us with our own dogs and with several of our short term foster dogs. I trust her completely with our two barky GSDs. She has an awesome energy. I've seen her walk a reactive 90lb Rottie and distract when necessary and maintain a happy playful demeanor that keeps the dog from escalating. She is able to read dog behavior to intervene when necessary in a play group, too. She was super calm with a high energy Jack Russell mix that had a tendency to get over stimulated. Highly recommend. Kyra is very responsible and experienced! Five stars.”


Nicole & Jonathan R.
“Nicole has been a loving dog mom since he was a little girl. We always had dogs when she was growing up. She was the dog walker hugger ad kisser. When our last dog became ill she found the specialist to find out what his problem was and helped me take care of him till the end. She then had her own dog he was so loved and taken care of by her her husband and children”


Renee L.
“Reneè did a great job with our dog Toby! She did all that was asked including some last minute instruction. Reneè also sent messages with pictures of Toby which put my mind at ease while away, knowing my dog was in good hands!”
