1. Kaitlynn S.

“Kaitlynn was amazing! My dogs have special needs and their care instructions are very specific. She kept their routine and did perfect! She gave my dogs much love and attention. She is the only sitter I would trust with my dogs. After I got back home, I asked one of my dogs (she uses button communication) if Kaitlynn was nice and she said yes! 🐾”


2. Samantha N.

“Samantha did an great job watching Peaches!! Peaches enjoyed seeing Samantha and wagged her tail as soon as she saw her. Thank you Samantha for your care and attentiveness to Peaches.”


3. Katie C.

“Katie stayed ant our home with our pup Gracie last week. We have had many dog sitters over the years but this was the first trip we didn’t worry at all! Katie communicated well with us and put us at ease. You can tell how caring she is. We appreciate all that she did for Gracie. She also left our home squeaky clean as well. We look forward to having Katie stay again in the future!”


4. Lila P.

“Lila was a great sitter for Minnie. My very anxious “baby” took to Lila very quickly and that is not her norm, so I felt very comfortable leaving them together. Lila communicated and kept in touch well. She was very respectful of my home and even left a cute doggie thank you note. Minnie seemed to love her and I know this because often when I get home Minnie us sitting by the door waiting. She was sleeping in the living room and much calmer than my usual returns. I recommend Lila as responsive, responsible, and respectful. Thank you!!!”


5. Kayla C.

“Kayla has watched my home and two pups, twice. She is great! Always keeps us informed and send pics. We had a stress free vacation with Kayla watching our home and fur babies!”


6. Nic M.

“Nic was great and the best sitter out of 3 that I have e used from Rover. Some of the dog sitters I've used in the past do it just for a little extra money but I feel that she truly enjoyed my dogs, sent many pictures and video's, and did very well with communication. I have rebooted with her for next week. She is a 10 allstar dog sitter!”


7. Catherine B.

“This is the second time we have asked Catherine to watch our dog and cat. And we would definitely ask her a third, fourth, fifth, and so on because she is wonderful caring for them! We had no worries being out of town and know that they are in good hands with Catherine. Anybody seeking Catherine's help to watch their pets will not be disappointed. Thank you so much!! - M&N”


8. Taioh K.
“Taioh is the best person to be a pet caregiver! He's the nicest, most responsible and gentle personality who genuinely loves all animals. Watching Taioh be a loving pet owner for his dogs Lucky and Kaia, I would entrust my pet in his care without hesitation if I had one! Any pet in Taioh's care will be safe, happy and well taken care of for sure.”


9. Olivia C.

“Loved Olivia she sent me many pics of her and my babies while I was away, the first time we met I knew she was the one I wanted caring for my dogs while I was away. Olivia made my weekend being away from my dogs much easier since it was the first time for us being away from our puppy. She is excellent and took great care of Max and Oliver. They lived her as much as she loved them. If looking for a great sitter Olivia us your person, she is great.”

11. Megan F.
“Megan is an animal lover to her core and is a wealth of knowledge of dogs! She loves all animals as her own and is a pleasure to work with.”


12. Donna R.
“Donna has watched my house and dog several times while I’ve been away. My dog seemed happy when we returned and not desperate like she was when I’d left her in a kennel. My house and pet were well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Donna again to house sit.”

14. Stacy M.

16. Kaley G.
About: I have had animals since I was 10 years old. I recently lost my family dog Cesar of 17 years. I am now a dog mom to a Shepard/Lab mix Cleo! She is a rescue from Arkansas. I spend almost all my time with her. I am very passionate about spending time with animals and am looking into Rover for the quality time I will get with many animals. I find so much joy in giving animals, especially dogs, a day they will truly enjoy. I have great experience with various breeds of dogs, as I have completed volunteer work and past work as an animal care facilitator. I currently have plenty of time to be booked on Rover. I spend most of my time with my four year old pup Cleo! (Also goes by Cheeto) I have experience with crate training if necessary. My own dog is both crate and command trained. Yes, she is one of those viral dogs who can communicate through buttons. I am more interested in walks, house visits or sittings rather than at my own, due to the size of my house. However I do have a very nice area around my house to walk. This includes a pond and trails.


17. Tiffany G.
“She is always my number one choice when it comes to looking for a pet sitter. I can rely on her to take care of both my dogs and my cat. She follows all of my written instructions, and she sometimes sends updates on how their doing.”


18. Ashleigh S.

“Ashleigh house-sat my energetic 2 year old pup Maple for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful. She communicated with us well throughout the whole process, met us for a meet and greet before the sit, sent pictures/updates during the sit, and was flexible with arrival/departure times. We highly recommend Ashleigh!”


19. madie b.

“Madie was very sensitive to my dog's separation anxiety. She did a good job caring for my dog and the house. She cuddled with her and spent time outside playing with Skye. I felt very relieved knowing that Skye was well cared for. I would have her care for Skye, my dog anytime.”


20. Victoria H.
“Victoria was very professional and caring. My pets have special needs and she was very understanding about their situation. One of my dogs needs medications but does not like to take them. She followed my directions perfectly and performed all the required care they needed and some. I am so relieved and happy to finally find someone I can trust to take care of my pets.”
