“I can’t recommend Helene enough! She is incredibly reliable, caring, and truly loves animals. My chunky Staffy Luna loved her the moment she met her and didn't even want to come back to me lol. She gets so excited every time she arrives, and I always feel at ease knowing Luna is in great hands. She even drives her to a trail near my house, ensuring plenty of exercise, playtime, and even sending me updates and photos. If you're looking for a responsible and loving dog walker, Helene is the best and is very accomadating!”

Joeyann M.
“I’m writing this letter as a proud mother to share just deeply my daughter, JoeyAnn Morales connects with animals and why I believe she would be a wonderful pet sitter or walker through Rover. From the time she was a little girl, She has shown an extraordinary love and compassion for animals. She didn’t just grow up around pets—she truly lived alongside them. Our home has always been filled with a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, ducks, reptiles, ferrets, and even the occasional rescue. No matter the species, She treated each one like family, often referring to them as her “babies.” Her nurturing nature was always clear, she would feed them, clean up after them, and do everything to make sure they were happy and healthy. Her passion for animals wasn’t just a phase and animals seem to be drawn to her calm, gentle presence. She has an instinct for reading their needs and responding with kindness and patience. I know she will treat every pet she cares for through Rover with the same love and attention she has always given to our own. She’s dependable, respectful, and someone I would trust with any animal, big or small. Please feel free to reach out if you’d like more insight—I’d be happy to share more about her experience and character.”

Ellie K.Star Sitter
“Ellie King is a great pet sitter and I highly recommend her to look after anyone's pets. She has looked after my elderly cat, my middle-aged and elderly dogs and several goldfish on numerous occasions. Nothing has ever gone wrong, but even if it had, Ellie would have acted appropriately and responsibly. She loves animals and connects well with them, she even had the goldfish trained to eat at a particular time. She understands that pets have an important role in people's lives, and she respects and even seems to enjoy everyone's idiosyncrasies! She is very responsible in that she does what she has committed to doing, and she regularly goes above and beyond expectations, in terms of thinking ahead and preventing things that might become problems. She can pet sit for me any time!”
Hayley W.
“Hayley is great! Dex loves her and she’s wonderful with the communication! I highly recommend her!”
Onnika D.
“I highly recommend Onnika for her pet sitting and dog walking services. She is incredibly reliable and communicated with updates about my precious Woodrow! She was excellent at sending photos of my dog enjoying his walks and playtime. Onnika was very patient and gentle with my dog especially since he is getting up in age. She was able to administer oral medication for him too- which was such a big help and relief to know he was getting them on time. Woody really seemed to enjoy her company . I felt completely at ease knowing my fur baby was in her care. I would definitely book them again!"”
Carley G.
“I have known Carley G. for over eight years and during this time I have observed the dedication, loyalty and sensitivity that she has for our four legged friends. As a pet owner who is way too attached to her dog, I enthusiastically recommend Carley as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for our two boxer puppies as I would. I am more comfortable leaving my animals with Carley because she really relates to each animal individually. Every dog she keeps forms a bond with her. When I leave my babies, it is important for me to know that more than her physical needs will be satisfied. The affection that she receives from Carley makes her separation from me less stressful.”
Katelind R.
“Katelind is very responsible very loving caring. She loves animals specially dogs she had her own dog and then for nine or 10 years and then her dog went to heaven She loves my dog. I have a Roddy he hates when she leaves she takes him on walks. She sleeps with him in the bed and cuddles with him when we’re gone. She talks to him and he moves his head around.She would be a good dog care definitely I trust her completely”
Jenny H.Star Sitter
“Jenny is always the best! She sends so many photos and updates. We feel secure having her with our dog when not home, and know Charlie is in the best hands!”
