Aimee was amazing. We were a bit hesitant, as we've never used Rover before, but she was so welcoming and helpful. She came on-time, every time, and cared for our dog. We will definitely use her again!

Absolutely excellent. We went on a long trip to Asia and the biggest thing for me was that I could actually enjoy my trip because I knew they were in great hands. She walked our dog daily in addition to playing with her outside in the backyard and really helped get her energy out and quality time. She was patient and kind with our cats and did an excellent job in finding ways to get them to take their medicine (3 of the 4 cats take medication). She cleaned our house throughout the stay but did a final clean on the day we got back and that was such a huge plus for us. It was nice coming home to happy animals and a clean house in order. So happy we found Tara and can’t wait to have her pet sit again.

During my two-week trip, I entrusted Lucy to care for my two cats, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Lucy was incredibly attentive, consistently arriving at my apartment right on time to feed, clean up, and play with my furry companions. She even made sure to turn on the air conditioning as per my request, ensuring a cozy environment for them. Communication was seamless, with Lucy regularly sending me updates and plenty of photos, which kept me reassured and connected to my pets. It was truly a delightful experience, and I'm immensely grateful for her dedication and care!

Luisa was great. We met beforehand and she immediately made me feel comfortable leaving my cats with her. She communicated frequently before and during the stay and I felt completely up to date. We received lots of pictures and a detailed update each day.

Alexander is a great catsitter! I went on a 3 day weekend trip and asked him to drop in on my two cats for me once a day. He was readily available for a meet and greet and was overall very reliable, communicative, friendly, and great with my cats! I would definitely contact Alexander again for pet care.

Rubens took excellent care of our two kitties and provided detailed updates and photos. Our kitties usually take some warming up to new people but they seemed like they liked Rubens from the moment they met him! I highly recommend!

Kaitlyn was amazing with my two cats! She came over to feed and play with them while I was out of town and I can tell they loved her. She clearly gave them lots of love and attention while I was gone - they barely registered that I was back. ? She sent great updates and pictures and was great with communication both before and during the visits. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book her again!

About: I have had a dog my entire life, including the past 17 with my rescue dog (aka my roommate), who just passed away in May. Rover has been wonderfully therapeutic for missing Sheba. I have also watched plenty of friends dogs and my nephew dog, who was special needs. I’m currently working hybridly with a flexible schedule, so have plenty of time to spend with animals. I am also available typically on the weekends to cover any trips. I live in a two bedroom condo but in a great area for dogs! Plenty of paths to walk to and a dog park nearby.

Sara is dependable, organized, prompt and great communicator. She has pet sat for my dog, including staying over, walks, and play. I appreciate the care she takes of my pet, like it is her own. Sara's great at following specific pet need directions, like for giving medications or walk techniques. I know my dog is in good hands with Sara.

Leanna was great— arrived the same times every day, took care of my beloved pets, and adroitly handled a couple of sticky situations that were above and beyond what was expected. I would gladly and enthusiastically use Leanna again. So should you.

I've asked Chenoah to care for my cat Elvis several times over the past few years. He is very anxious and quite skittish around people, but immediately warmed up to Chenoah. She has warm and kind energy, which draws Elvis to her. I travel a lot for work and feel comfortable knowing that Chenoah is caring for him. I recommend her wholeheartedly!

About: I've been a dog walker for a year and it's been the most rewarding job I've had thus far. Your dog will be in caring hands while you're away. I'm walking dogs full time in the DMV area so my schedule is open for any dogs who need to be walked or petsit 7 days a week! I will allow your dog to get to know me when I first walk in and sniff me to build their trust. I'll give them lots of love and when they're ready, we'll begin our walk!
