“Super nice and very friendly. I would recommend her. Be aware you have to be able to carry your pet up a ladder before booking, but my husband was with me so it was not a problem. I wouldn’t have been able to do it myself. I am sure the host would have helped if needed.”
“Marquita was a wonderful sitter! She kept me updated on my pup and took really good care of him. So grateful for the safe and loving environment she provided my boy while we were out of town❤️”
“My pets felt right at home at Kayla’s house. She took very good care of my babies. She provided a big cat condo for my cat, she provided pictures of my pets. My pets loved being there and felt very comfortable with her. I recommend Kayla to watch your pets! I will bring my pets back to her.”

I was 💯 sure my dog was loved and taken care of.. after loading my dog she wanted to come back out to greet Jennifer !!!👍😁❤️”

“Jessica and Colin watched our pup, Hazel, recently and did a great job! Hazel had a great time at their home with their adorable family. Jessica was quick to respond every time I texted , and was very flexible. We will definitely be using Jessica and Colin again if they are available. They are trustworthy, responsible and reliable . Hazel can’t wait to go back! 🐾”
“Laura and her family are amazing! This was the first time we left our boy, Titan, alone for this long and someone that wasn’t family. Laura had Titan for just short of 2 weeks and there was not a day that we didn’t hear from he or get photos! We had no concerns the entire time we were gone because of the communication and reassurance we received. We also knew upon our first meet and greet that they were the perfect fit! Titan felt immediately comfortable with them and in their home upon drop off and on pickup he was so excited to see us but also so sad to leave them. We could not thank Laura enough!”
“Our two beagles Larry and Betty really enjoyed their stay with Christine and all her fur babies. Christine updates us with photos and messages daily. Our dogs were definitely living their best doggie daycare life in Christine’s care. We would highly recommend her!”
“She and her dog Willa are the best! They took care of my dog for a long weekend and he couldn’t have been in better care of and tuckered out from having such fun with Willa. Communication was excellent and she doesn’t “watch” a kennel’s worth of dogs…which is nice for a first experience for him. Really glad I found her and couldn’t recommend anyone better!”
“We are so happy with how things have been going working with Lisa and I cannot recommend her services enough! The communication has been fabulous and her love for dogs is truly evident. We are already booked again for boarding and I feel so comforted knowing our boys are in such loving, capable hands! 🫶🏾”
“Stephen was amazing with my girl. I received pictures throughout the trip with all the fun she was having with Bodhi. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my girl. It was such a relief knowing that she was taken care of.”

“We had a great experience with Alexis! She took wonderful care of our cat and followed all of our instructions perfectly. We really appreciated the updates and photos, they gave us peace of mind while traveling. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her to others!”
“Jessica was OUTSTANDING! We went on a three week vacation and this was my first time using Rover app. Admittedly, I was nervous using the app, but once I met Jessica and went over her reviews I felt confident she would be a good fit. She spent generous time with our kitties so they wouldn’t feel lonely while we were gone. And she sent videos and pics almost every day which put our minds at ease. Then she just went above and beyond: We have a litter robot that malfunctioned while we’re were gone and when she realized she went out and picked up a regular box and litter so the girls wouldn’t make a mess. We didn’t even need to ask, she just did it. Then a few days before the end of the trip, we ran out treats we use for giving meds, she offered to buy more. (After she spent her own money on the litter box we made sure to have amazon deliver some the next day). And finally, she swept and mopped our main living areas and washed the kitty bowls so we could walk into a clean home. ❤️ That was so refreshing after a long trip (and horrible flight back)! She is AMAZING, and we will definitely be using her and referring her services to anyone in need in the future. You rock Jessica!”
“Jennifer O was the best! It was great to be able to visit my daughter knowing my Willow was being well cared for! She even came over before I left so she would be a familiar face! The daily updates and pics really helped me feel not so far away. I immediately took to Jennifer’s friendly, trustworthy, & knowledgeable air and her gentle, caring nature. I can’t rave about her enough! Your pet will be in good hands with Jennifer O!”
“Dani was amazing! In general, she’s one of the nicest people I’ve met. As a pet sitter, you can tell she loves all animals, and was very thorough. She left very detailed descriptions of what she did while she was visiting, and sent lots of pics :) 10/10 would recommend, and I most definitely will be using again!”
“Deedra was very responsive and gave me text updates on Shadow when she dropped in on her. There were no issues and Shadow really seemed to like her. 10/10 will be rebooking!”
“It gave us such peace of mind knowing that Lisa would be taking care of our cats while we were away. She was patient with them and very understanding of their quirky natures!”
“Courtney was absolutely amazing from start to finish. She went above and beyond to make sure our baby was well cared for and followed all our instructions exactly. I really appreciated the pics sent at each visit and the thorough notes each time. We will definitely be choosing Courtney again!”
“Cassie, thank you so much for taking such great care of our kitties! After our horrible experience with our last Rover sitter, we really appreciate the wonderful job you did. You have restored our faith in using Rover.com again! We look forward to booking you again next time we need a cat sitter! Thanks again!”
“Aditi responded quickly, was communicative, and receptive to all my needs and requests. I needed help taking care of my kitties and bunny during a busy workweek and Aditi was a lifesaver! Thank you! :)”
“I can’t say enough good things about Mika! Having someone come into your home and care for your pets requires a lot of trust, and she have exceeded every expectation. Mika is reliable, communicative, and clearly have a genuine love for animals. Frank & Harold were happy, well cared for, and comfortable in their own environment while I was away, which gave me tremendous peace of mind. I appreciated the updates, photos, and attention to detail, and it was obvious that my dog received plenty of love and attention. Coming home to a happy pet and a well-cared-for home was the best feeling. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Absolutely wonderful, she took care of my cat while I was away. We did a meet and greet before hand and I could already tell that my cat loved her! She sent lots of pictures/updates and was very easy to contact. I can tell she really loves animals and is excellent at this. I will be using her services every time I go out of town now!!! It was a great relief knowing that she was taking care of my fur baby :)”
“Brooke and Cody were fantastic with my cats while I was away on vacation. My cats were well-cared for and the picture updates after each visit gave me peace of mind that my boys were doing okay while I was away. I will definitely use Brooke and Cody again the next time I go out of town!”
“Can’t say enough great things about Amanda! Amazing communicator and so dependable. Everything you want when someone is taking care of your fur babies. Our pets instantly loved her and grow to love her more each time!”
“Jace was fantastic! She did 2 short visits before our trip to get to know our 3 kitties, including one that was still in the integration process. One of our cats has a special diet as well. She was very responsive and sent my wife plenty of photos and videos. We can tell our cats liked her and we will book her for our upcoming out-of-town time when we go to a wedding. She went above and beyond and because of her study situation online, she was able to be at our home about 18-20 hours per day, which replicates our schedule working almost entirely from home. If you think to book her, do it. You will not regret your decision.”

“Aleksandra was absolutely wonderful with our cats! You can tell she truly has a special way with animals, our babies loved her. Even Thor, who is scared of literally everything, came out and felt comfortable around her, which says everything. She took such great care of them and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We were completely stress-free knowing they were in such good hands. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. She’s truly a cat whisperer! 🐱💛”

Can’t express how blessed to have her as a dog sitter. 10 Star in my opinion.”

“We've had a great experience with JD and Magda! They've treated Gus like he was their own and made him (and us) safe. They are quick to respond with any communication and try their best to be accommodating. Also their two dogs are super friendly and Gus loves having them to play with.”

“Peyton has been absolutely amazing! She stepped in for a few last-minute bookings when I was dealing with car issues, and I can’t thank her enough. She’s incredibly reliable, follows directions perfectly, and most importantly—she’s great with my pets. Her communication is clear, timely, and reassuring. It’s such a relief knowing I can count on someone who truly cares. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, compassionate, and dependable dog walker! Scout and Chuck 🐕🦺🐕🐾🐾💙☺️🌞”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats before I reached the age of double digits. Bruno was the first cat my family ever got, he was found in the rafters of our garage, he was so small he had to be nursed from a bottle. He won sweetest cat at the local library, and the next year we found Gus in our bushes on me and my twin brothers 6th birthday. We slyly convinced our mom he was a gift from God and we got to keep him! A couple years later, we dropped into the humane society and fell in love with a grey kitten, and of course, my brother and I pulled out our puppy dog eyes, and Junie B Fox Fire came home with us. It was a full house, three cats, two kids, and one mom. Eventually, it was time to convince my mom to get a dog. We ended up falling in love with a golden doodle and we named her Paisley. And finally, my brother and I felt satisfied with our Animal House. Our animals all lived long happy lives. Our three cats all passed away at 20, and Paisley at 16. They were always treated like family. Those 20 so years did not come without their scares. We had a few times the vet told us there was practically no hope, but Im convinced the love our family had for our animals bent reality, and every time, they were okay. Sometimes surgery was needed, other times just hope. But I am proud of the way I was raised to treat animals, and I thank my mom for that. In my 20s I moved in with my now ex fiance, and we got a dog together. An australian shepherd (I will adopt next time!), she was a puppy. We trained her, loved her, and I was her mom. Sprinkled through the years other cats entered our orbit as we took in family cats whose owner had passed. We became another animal house! unfortunately those cats were older so we got them on their ladder parts of life, and so when our apartment had no more cats, we decided it was time for a kitten! Together we raised our kitten Henry, and Aussie Skylo. I was their mom for about 7 years until we broke up, and tragically my ex stole them, and ran away with his mistress. There are no words for the black hole that left behind. It was right after the break up my family simultaneously lost three of our cats and our dog. Yes they lived a long life, but for the first time ever, I had NO animals in my care. I didn't know how empty that could feel! I don't want to make this a sob story, but I want to explain why you are just seeing a kitten in my photos. I moved to FL after the break up, and that is where I found Roary my now cat, who was 5 weeks old dodging cars in the middle of the busiest intersection in Fort Lauderdale. I was the only one on the ground to pick her up, I wasnt ready for a cat, but life did its life thing, and I am so blessed to have her by my side now. I am back in Florida, and ready for Rover! I am nurturing, thoughtful, attentive, and not to pat myself on the back.. but I do think I speak fluent animal. I would be so grateful for the opportunity to watch your beloved pet! I am currently free as a bird here in Florida. My availability is adaptable as I can fully commit to my time here on Rover! Safety always comes first. In your home, I follow your routine exactly; feeding, meds, and house rules. On walks I double check leashes, hold a tight grip, stay alert to traffic and other dogs, and never let your pet off leash. I'll send photo updates every visit so you always know your animal is safe and happy.
“Martha is amazing! Wiggles is like velcro to here mama and she happily went with Martha and got excited when I told her Martha was coming. She was also gracious in accepting me as a client when I had covid, very kind and brave. I highly recommend Martha for walks or boarding. Thanks Martha!”
“Deedra was amazing! I felt like our dogs were in great care and actually entertained and tired after her visit. Our dogs can be tough but she was able to get them out and about. She went above and beyond for us! Will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve grown up around large dogs. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and I’ll care for your animals as if they are my own! I’m currently going to night school during the week and am looking for more day time work to help support myself. I am open to weekends. I can take your pups on a nice walk around the neighborhood or I can take them to the park to play with other dogs.
About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a large family, my love of animals began when I was young. My sisters and I rescued all kinds of animals but always had dogs as pets that were cherished. While raising my own family, a dog was always a a much loved member of our home. I most recently lost my sweet girl (black lab) after 15 years and still have much love to share. While walking my lab throughout my neighborhood for 15 years, I have gotten to know local dogs and their owners. I can honestly say, I have never met a dog I didn't like. Dogs bring joy into your life and providing them with the extra attention they deserve is just the best. They make life's journey richer in every way. I am recently retired so I have more flexible time to provide loving care. I am active and enjoy walking, or providing playtime for your pet. I have an outdoor patio and large grass area. Having always had dogs in my home, my home is safe, comfortable and welcoming to all pets. I am happy to provide any special needs or care requested by pet owners.

“Regina is a very experienced dog walker/pet sitter. Her professionalism is apparent from her first visit. She is not someone who walks dogs to make a few bucks...this is a business she takes very seriously. My dog very much enjoys her daily visits and is very excited when Regina arrives. She makes us aware of any concerns she may have with my dogs heath or if there is any concerns at my house during the visit, which gives me peace of mind. I recommend Regina to anyone looking for a professional and reliable caregiver for their pet.”

She arrived right on time, took plenty of pictures and even worked with my puppy on eating with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Valarie for your next dog walking/sitting needs! Thank you, Valarie, for taking such great care of Sperry, Bear and Buc! 😊”

“I can’t say enough about how amazing Athena and Richi are in caring for my baby, Panda. This is my first time leaving town since I lost my 11-year-old bulldog, and I’ve been so nervous, but Athena and Richi have truly put my mind at ease. They’ve been so thoughtful with check-ins, pictures, and videos of Panda having a blast at the dog park—it’s clear they treat him like their own. The professionalism they bring to their care is top-notch, and I feel so comfortable knowing they’re there. What’s even better is that these are not just experiences I’m having while away; they’ve been just as wonderful during our weekly sessions with Panda as well. On top of that, they’ve even been kind enough to bring in packages for me! I’m so grateful for how accommodating and dependable they’ve been, and I genuinely appreciate everything they’ve done. Thank you, Athena and Richi—you’ve made this experience so much easier, and Panda loves his time with you!”
