1. Michelle T.
“Michelle was amazing! Her communication was superb. She was quick to respond and made me feel really comfortable that my dog was in her hands. 100% using Michelle again!”
2. Kimmy D.
“From the very first meet-and-greet, Kimmy was professional, kind, and showed a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know Kaiyah, which immediately put me at ease. Kimmy kept me updated with cute photos and detailed notes after each walk, which was such a nice touch. Kaiyah can be a little anxious around new people, but Kimmy’s patience and gentle approach worked wonders. Kimmy was reliable, punctual, and super flexible with scheduling, which made everything so easy. Kaiyah came back from her walks happy, well-exercised, and relaxed, and it made a noticeable difference in her overall mood. I highly recommend Kimmy to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog walker. She treated Kaiyah like her own and went above and beyond both times. We’re so lucky to have found her, and I’m sure she’ll bring the same level of care to every dog she works with. Thanks, Kimmy—we can’t wait for the next walk!”
3. Esteban O.
“Esteban quickly became my puppy's very best friend (I hope my kids don't see this). My puppy returns from walks and passes out for hours. Esteban is reliable and my puppy is always excited to go on their walks. He also communicates well and gives great updates on any activity from the walk.”
4. Matt S.
“Matt was great! He came and met us the day before our walk/drop in, it was nice knowing he would know exactly where everything was and what to do. During the drop in he sent updates and pics! We will use him again. Thank you again, Matt!”
5. Lena Camille O.
“Lena was awesome! She took on multiple walks for my anxious little dog & was very sweet with her. She was professional, timely, responsive, and great with Jelly Bean. Will definitely be reaching out to her in the future!”
6. Vanessa P.
“Vanessa was wonderful! She took great care of our pup and was super communicative through it all. Will definitely be rebooking!”
7. Kenyetta M.
“Kiwi has been a massive talent in the pet sitting game. I personally started pet care and sitting 3-4 years ago now and taking her on as a partner in the last year has been such a blessing. Her empathy and awareness know no bounds. She’s prompt, and critically thinks about situations on her feet. But most of all, she is so sweet with every animal she meets. She started out as more of a cat person but has fallen head over heels for the dogs in our care and now wants to care for one herself. She would be an immense asset to the Rover team.”
8. Sophie C.
“Sophie has been amazing with my girl Rosie as she adjusts to city life. She has made a huge impact on keeping her calm and helping keep her active by giving her good exercise and working with to stay calm and focused while encountering squirrels, other dogs and loud noises on their walks. I have noticed such a change due to Sophie's interventions. Sophie is prompt, communicative and kind. A one of a kind! Rosie adores her!”
9. Shelly M.
“Shelly was available right away to walk my dog while I was stuck at work. She responded quickly to me and took care of my dog really well. I highly recommend Shelly!”
10. Malia K.
“I can’t recommend Malia enough. From start to finish she was a joy to work with: setting up a meet & greet, proactively communicating with me about any questions, and going above and beyond taking such great care of my little fur buddy. Thank you, Malia!”
11. Nick N.
“Nick is wonderful!! He takes great care of our pup and not just walks him but takes him playing in the park sometimes!! We really like working with him!! Thank you so much, Nick!”
12. Alexis A.
“Alexis is such an awesome sitter and she always goes above and beyond to keep me updated on my dog’s care. Receiving Alexis’ activity summaries and photos are a genuine highlight of my day. It is so awesome to know that my Gloria is in such good hands and having a great time while I am away. Alexis allowed me to take my senior dog out of daycare and she is so much happier now. I will continue booking with Alexis for as long as I can!”
13. Lorin C.
“Lorin has helped us with our pets (dog and guinea pigs) for years. She is very responsible, responsive and caring. I always ask her first if I need someone to petsit. I would trust her with any animal and feel completely confident that she will follow all instructions and take the best care of them.”
14. Tiffany & Lauren B.
“Tiffany and Lauren are absolutely wonderful caregivers to our pets. They have done both in-home care/housesitting as well as hosted our animals at their house - two pit mixes and two cats. I know that L&T will absolutely shower them with love and send us updates throughout the stay (including very sweet photos). They have cared for our animals at different life stages and are happy to adjust to the animal's specific needs, whether it is taking an energetic pup on a long walk or accommodating any physical limitations, including caring for our dog with significant mobility challenges. Their dog, Guapa, has always gotten along well with our dogs, and their cats are very comfortable around a variety of dogs since they have also hosted foster dogs in addition to petsitting. I feel very confident in the care that Tiffany and Lauren provide for our animals!”
15. Senny M.
“I highly recommend Senny as a pet caretaker. She's been taking care of her own two cats for over ten years, and it really shows in how loving and attentive she is. Senny's also been a lifesaver for her neighbors, looking after their cats for weeks at a time, and she's always willing to help out with family dogs too. What really sets Senny apart is her passion for bouldering. It's given her the strength and stamina to make sure pets get plenty of exercise and fun. Whether it's a long walk or some energetic playtime, you can trust Senny to keep your furry family members happy and healthy. Her dedication, energy, and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for a pet caretaker.”
16. Felix O.
“Felix is very attentive and a good, active communicator. My shy dog took to him immediately! He sent lots of great photos from the walk. Highly recommend.”
17. Madeline K.
“Maddie was amazing! I scheduled a last minute 1 hour walk with her for my energetic Vizsla. She was extremely communicative, responsible, and I overall just felt so comfortable entrusting her with my pup and having her access my home to pick him up. She left a detailed Rover Card with great photos. I could not recommend her more highly. I will definitely try to book with her for future walks. Thank you Maddie!”
18. Ananda S.
“Ananda was amazing - she was really helpful coordinating dates/times, she stopped by early to meet my dog, and she was lovely about keeping me updated with everything! I think she’d be a great sitter or walker that I’d recommend to anyone”
19. Laura B.
“Laura came walk with me and my puppy Cooper to meet him for the first time and she was great with him! I have a hard time leaving my puppy behind when I need to be away but I know he will be in good hands with Laura.”
20. Kate A.
“Kate is wonderful. Great communicator and does great with my pup despite his difficulties (reactivity to other dogs). Would definitely recommend her services”
