6. Samantha F.
“Samantha was awesome with our critters and accepted our booking last minute after another sitter fell through. She was very knowledgeable on rabbit and cat care. She asked lots of questions about my pets during our meet and greet to better understand their behavior's and care. My cat was also all over her the entire visit rubbing on her. She took some amazing glamor shots of my pets while we were away. Three pets is a lot of work for a 30 minute visit and she did a great job. I will definitely book with her again!”

8. Christopher M.
“I found Christopher on Rover at the last minute to help with 3 visits. One of our dogs is a rescue that we’ve had less than a week; he’s being crated and I was unable to get away from work. Christopher came to my house after I messaged him and met everyone. He was kind and competent and I knew the dogs would be in good hands. He did a great job—he was on time for his visits, and sent me pictures and messages. It was such a relief to me to know that my dogs were well-cared for. I will use him again for sure!!!”

“I have known Natalie for a long time, and I can confidently say she has always been kindhearted! She is always there when a friend is in need and always steps up to the challenge. I don't go out of town very often, but when I do, I call her to watch over my dog Shorty. Natalie and Shorty get along very well! She takes her on walks, plays outside, and sends me pictures and updates daily. When I have to leave home for a while, I know I can always count on Natalie to take good care of Shorty!”

14. Jackson M.
“Jackson has walked and pet-sat for my rambunctious 85-pound boxer on numerous occasions. Although Zeus is friendly and loving, he is hard-headed (like most boxers) and strong as a bull. Jackson, who’s 6’3”, has no trouble managing him. His easy authority is combined with a sweetness and playfulness that Zeus absolutely loves. Highest rating!”
