“Leslie does a wonderful job taking care of our girl Gwen. Gwen doesn’t fully accept everyone but Leslie earned her full trust which couldn’t mean more to me. Having someone i can fully trust to take care of our girl when we leave town makes all the difference. She keeps you updated throughout the day and leaves your house as clean as she got it.”

“Sophie was great!!!! Her communication is excellent, she is extremely punctual, and very responsible. She was respectful of our home, and our finicky little dog warmed right up to her. I am so glad we found you, Sophie!!”

“Katie was a perfect caretaker for our dogs while we were away getting married. She eased my worries about leaving the dogs alone for the first time with someone that wasn’t family. She gave us detailed updates every day. We will definitely use her services again and we highly recommend her to take care of your pets!”

“Amber was amazing! This was the first time we left our 3 mini dachshunds with anyone other than a family member and it was a great experience. Amber made sure all of our pups were well cared for and she stayed with them 100% of the time. She is a great dog person and our pups took to her immediately! She sent pics of all the pups cuddling with her! We couldn’t have found a better pup sitter! Already scheduled her for our next vacation!”

“From the moment I reached out to Ashley I could sense how much she loves animals and that she was the girl I could trust to take care of my 4 month old pug puppy. My husband and I’m left town for 2 nights and 3 days and Ashley was so communicative and thoughtful while taking care of our baby. I really appreciate her and will 100p recommend her to take care of your baby. Ashley is a unique and loving girl”

“Bayley took great care of our big boy goldendoodle! She provided frequent updates while we were away and was extremely responsive. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”

“Ava was great! She is one of the best sitters I have had so far, she did exactly everything that I asked if her. I loved all of the picture she sent throughout the day and that made me feel at ease although I was 300 miles away. My apartment felt even cleaner than I left it! My cat was seemed happy and content when I came back - she wasn’t clingy at all like she didn’t miss me much lol. I would definitely ask Ava to sit my place again. Highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little girl. Growing up, dogs were like siblings to me as I was the only child in the house. Full time, I am a local news reporter. I am responsible, enthusiast, and I genuinely care about dogs. 💗 Currently, I dog sit two lovely dogs for two families when they are away on vacation. I am currently working full-time as a news reporter. However, I am dedicated to working a few hours outside of my shift hours and also on my off days. I will follow the instructions you have for me in order to make sure that your fur baby is as safe, comfortable, and happy as possible.
“Willow was great with our greyhounds. We booked Willow to watch our pets for the day while we were out for an extended period of time. He was flexible with arrival /departure times, attentive to instructions and his calm demeanor was exactly what our two needed. We will be calling on Willow in the future to watch them again when the need arises.”

“Mattison was amazing! This was the first person we tried without a personal referral, and we couldn’t have been happier. She came before the requested dates to meet our dogs and understand their needs. With her being a Vet tech made us even more excited about using her. She will definitely be our first option for as long as she wants to sit for us.”

“It wasn't difficult to leave our home and pets with Hallie. From the first meeting we had the comfort all would go well, and it did. Hallie treated our home with respect and navigated through the "character" of our older home. Hallie weathered a water issue and a wind storm that downed a limb. Resourcefully she dealt with a large limb that blocked the driveway. Hallie is marvelous with animals. Our shy dog who doesn't warm up to anyone was loving pets from Hallie within 5 minutes! She is such a pet lover that we had the utmost confidence that all would have excellent care, and they did. Hallie gave great care for our five cats and she tuned into their different needs and personalities. We will chose Hallie again without any hesitation. She deserves more than 5 stars!”

“Rachel watched my dogs and house for a long weekend. I got frequent updates and good communication while away. The pups were happy and the house was in great shape when I returned. So relieved to have a great sitter when traveling.”

About: I’ve been a pet sitter since high school and love every minute of it! I have a cat named Stitch who’s my best friend, and I enjoy spending time outdoors—so walking your pet is the perfect way for us to both get some fresh air and fun. I treat every pet like my own, giving them love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m a full-time college student with a flexible schedule, usually only two classes a day, which gives me plenty of time to spend with your furry friend. I always double check that every gate is closed and that your friend is in no danger. I am very vigilant and always make sure everything is locked and secure before I leave
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Marigold!! They took such great care of my dog while I was out of the country for a week and I felt completely confident he was in excellent hands. I think he may have enjoyed his vacation just as much as I did! I received plenty of (super cute) photos and came home to find everything just as I left it. I would highly recommend Marigold and will definitely be booking again in the future.”

“Betsy was great with my dogs! She gave them great care while we were out of town! It was super nice to receive photo updates as well! Thanks Bersy!”

“Malcolm is amazing. He communicates so effectively with his daily plans and when he was going to be in and out to take care of Sutter. He is receptive to feedback and implements my requests immediately. He’s one of the best and your fur babies will love him.”

“Reyna was wonderful to work with. She let us know her schedule prior to booking to make sure it would work with our dogs needs. She communicated on a regular basis on how our dog was doing. Our dog can be very anxious and difficult and Reyna handled her very well. We got lots of pictures while we were gone, which were great. Definitely will use Reyna again.”

University pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jackie was a great communicator when it came to any concerns I had. I appreciated the photos I got of my dog every day and the fact that she stayed with her overnight. Jackie followed my directions when it came to walking and feeding which I appreciated. Thanks girl!

Rachel was awesome! We contacted her with very short notice and she was so kind and accommodating to meet our schedule! She was also incredible with our big girl! She was extremely communicative and let us know when medicine was given and sent a lot of cute videos and pictures. Elwood felt comfortable with her instantly and it was such a piece of mind to have Rachel stay with us. It would be a pleasure to have Rachael dog sit for us again!

Blue stayed with my two big, anxious dogs and very bratty cat while I was at my sister’s wedding and did a great job. They asked good questions at the meet n greet, gave regular updates while I was away, and I could tell my boys all loved them. Absolutely would book again — thanks, Blue!
