1. Jaden F.


“Again and again, Jaden proves to amazing. She's punctual, communicative and super sweet. Most of all, she's trustworthy. She has provided dog walks, drop-in visits, and has stayed overnight with my girl (and a foster dog or two) more than once. She's my go-to person. Part of me wants you NOT to book her so she can be available for me and my girl, but other families deserve to have her services. So, don't think twice, just book her. You won't be disappointed!”

7. Jeanette V.
“I can’t recommend my mom enough as a dog sitter. She has a natural way with animals—kind, gentle, and incredibly attentive. I’ve grown up with pets my entire life because of her, and she’s the one who taught me how to care for them with love, patience, and respect. Whether it was dogs, cats, or even the occasional rescue, she made sure every animal in our home was not only cared for but truly loved. She’s also one of the cleanest and most organized people I know, which makes a big difference when someone is trusting you with their home and their pets. She pays attention to every detail—making sure dogs are fed on time, walked regularly, and given plenty of affection and playtime. She treats every pet like they’re part of the family, because to her, they are. If you're looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and experienced to care for your dog, my mom is the perfect choice. Your pup will be in the best hands.”

9. Kat M.

“Kat is amazing. She truly cares for the animals she watches. We have a 2yo golden retriever (very energetic and pushes boundaries). Kat worked so well with her! She trained Ellie while also showing her lots of love and affection. We are so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our girl. Thank you, Kat!”


10. Shannon S.

“Shannon did an AMAZING job caring for our Ellie girl. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. Ellie is a high energy pup and requires a lot of attention. Shannon was very intentional about exercising Ellie so she didn’t have excess energy and stayed out of trouble. Shannon worked on commands with Ellie and had a very professional approach to caring for her. We received lots of updates with pictures, making us feel safe while we were away. We are also very grateful for the way Shannon respected our home while she stayed there. THANK YOU Shannon! 👏🏼”


11. Carolina & Melissa L.

“Carolina did an absolutely amazing job watching our dog for the weekend. She sent frequent updates on our dog with pictures. She gave us so much peace of mind and we will 100% be return customers. She played with our dog all the time and made sure she felt extra loved! She was super professional and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommend!”

16. Sidney A.

“Sidney was absolutely amazing!! It was our first time using Rover and she put us at ease the moment we met for a little meet-and-greet with our crew. She sent videos and pictures everyday which we absolutely loved. We had two dogs and a cat, all with their own special quirks, and Sidney was so great with all three. Our vacation was stress-free knowing she was there and she left the house in perfect order for when we returned. We can’t recommend her enough (in fact, we bragged about her to the family our entire trip 😂) and will absolutely be booking her again.”

About: Love the company of all animals! Always have since I was little and have always been the person friends/family go to when they need a break! My schedule is pretty flexible because I am an opener at Starbucks. So I could definitely work with both yours and your furry friends needs! Always ask owners what their routine and preferences are and work from there. My goal is to make both pet and owner happy and comfortable!
