1. Quincy N.
About: I have had birds, cats, dogs, and rats as pets! I have worked as a volunteer at many shelters with senior animals, shy and scared ones as well. I have had mastiffs as pets and shih tzus. I love them all just the same as my two legged babies! Bathing, and walking and playing with all animals is my favorite! I am retired and have plenty of free time for anything related to your fur babies! I love playing outside, given the weather is cooperating! I have a fenced in backyard. I have two dogs but one is reactive so I do not do in home boarding. But I am happy to help your fur babies at your home with walks, belly rubs & lots of love!


2. Megan L.

“Megan has a calming effect on Molly. She was gentle and kind to both my fur babies. Glad she was able to help me out when I was not able to walk my dogs.”


3. Regan F.

“Regan has been FANTASTIC! I was nervous about having a dog walker come to our home and Regan has been fabulous with Cody! She has gone above and beyond to clean up some nervous messes he made and she communicates often which works great for me. She asked my communication preferences up front and has followed through, making me feel settled and comfortable knowing Cody is being well cared for.”


4. Lexi P.

“Thanks for taking Oz on a walk while we were at work all day!”


5. Hayley D.
“Hayley is responsible and trustworthy, and she is a true animal lover who is passionate about the safety and happiness of pets! My dog Axel loves her and I can always rely on her!”


6. Sandy B.
“Sandy is a caring, loving and honest person. Her love of animals is unmatched. I trust her with my fur babies explicitly. She is physically fit and loves to walk, her dogs are getting older and can't go on long walks. This would be a perfect outlet for her boundless energy. She is meticulous about the care of her pets and would extend this quality of care to any pet in her charge. In closing, Sandy would be the perfect Rover employee.”


7. Lindsay R.
“I’ve known Lindsay for many years now and she is the absolute best! Always so sweet and respectful and she adores dogs. I know she would make a wonderful pet sitter because of the amazing way she treats her own pets. As a Rover member myself I can say she would be perfect!”




8. Meggan B.

“Meggan has walked my dog a few times now! She's on time, my dog loves her, and she's respectful! She works with my ever changing schedule and doesn't mind accommodating. I highly recommend her!”


9. Vivi S.
“WOW! I don't know what else to say about Vivi. Vivi messaged me to write a review about her dog sitting buisness and I was THRILLED! Her compassion for animals is incredible and she is wonderfully priced too, which is a plus! I now book Vivi every time I leave town and will continue to for as long as I can!”


10. Sabrina L.
“Sabrina’s love for dogs is apparent in everything she does. When we adopted a puppy from the rescue she volunteered at (and fosters dogs with!), she graciously agreed to take care of Ruben for us for a week until we could get down to NC to pick him up. She sent us photos and videos every day which was above and beyond. She really cares about dogs and gives them a safe space to be loved and cared for. I couldn’t recommend her higher!”


11. Sarah L.
“Hi. Sarah “Grace” as we call her, is an amazing care giver to all animals. She grew up having all the small animals one has in their household. Examples are cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters, and birds. In our home she was the main care giver and instigator of all our animals. She has great compassion and love for them. All of our neighbors called on her to take care of their pets while they were away. Once she got a car all of her friends parents and our friends had her all over town taking care of their animals. She would even bring some of the animals home for a week at a time to take care of them. She is dependable and loving and I highly recommend her.”


12. Serena G.
“Serena is an animal lover since birth. She had always had multiple animals, including 4 dogs, growing up. Serena was a member of 4-H for 12 + years doing several animal projects. She is a highly respected and requested dog/house sitter in our community. Serena has been housesitting for 6+ years and is very responsible. She is very respectful of others and their homes. She always leaves the house clean and the animals well cared for. I am honored to recommend Serena Lignell for any job position.”


13. Emma H.

“Emma was very prompt and friendly. She met up with me and my pup before the initial walk. Emma sent updates and pictures and put my mind at ease while at work. Will be using her again!”


14. Sarah B.
“Sarah has helped walk my dog before and she was great! My dog has a lot of anxiety and she was able to calm her and able to get her to walk with a stranger at the time. I couldn’t recommend her enough! She’s great and will make sure your dog is cared for and loved.”


15. Samantha K.
About: I've owned dogs all my life. Since growing up on a farm, I'm a huge animal lover! I have worked with dogs and cats at my previous jobs including Animal shelters and boarding kennels. I'm currently a stay at home mom to my two sons and three furbabies. My schedule is pretty flexible. I'm only unavailable two weekends out of the month due to traveling outside the state. I have a big fenced in yard and three fur babies one who is dog selective with mainly bigger breeds and one is unknown since he's never been around any other dogs besides our own. So unfortunately it would difficult to board any furbabies but, I'm available to walk your furbabies and drop in for visits! I also, have Base Access!


16. Brittany S.
“Brittany has a heart of gold! She is an absolute animal enthusiast. She has volunteered for an animal rescue for years as well as fostered many mama dogs and her pups. I never have to worry about my fur babies when we are out of town. She has taken care of my babies For almost 3 years now when we go on trips. She takes them on walks, gives them cuddles, treats, and truly enjoys animals. Definitely not just feeding them and locking them back up like a lot of pet services. Highly recommend this amazing person and her family.”
