“Amazing! If you have a chance to work with her, don’t hesitate, she is so incredibly caring and wonderful with my furry friend. He had a great time! The regular sweet notes and photos reassured me that he was happy and content throughout my trip. She was also wonderful when my flight was delayed. Thank you so very much again!”

“As a first time user of Rover I don't think I could have asked for a better pet sitter. Ella was very nice and flexible. Ella always checked in if she had to switch stop in time, and gave good daily updates. I was not worried about my cats at all while away and there were no problems while I was gone.”

“Rachel provided wonderful care for our three dogs and 2 cats while we were away. She stopped by for drop-in visits and stayed for two overnights. She was very professional and continued to provide photo and written updates through the Rover app. She was attentive to the needs and individual personalities of our pets. Our pets appeared relaxed and happy under her care. We definitely recommend Rachel's services and would love to have her sit for us again!”


“Ashley did a meet and greet with us a few days before the walk. She clearly loves dogs and was very patient with our dog as he sniffed her like crazy!! She gave us good suggestions about the area as we were visiting. Her walk notes were detailed! We plan to have her walk our dog!”


“Brandon was great to work with and took good care of our cat. Our house was also in good shape and as we left it. . Quixo was happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. I would hire Brandon again and recommend him to others .”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Howland
“Jen was a great dog-sitter! Our dog was excited to explore her home, which seemed very dog-friendly, and there was a great long road to take walks on. Jen sent us updates, pictures, and was overall an easy-going and conscientious person! She asked us how we wanted our dog to be treated, what rules we have at home, what he can and can't play with, etc. She seemed to be really confident around dogs, and our dog liked her immediately.”

“Mazzy had a great time with Paige. It was kind of a last-minute request but she was available, which helped a lot! Place was cozy and loving humans were ready to watch Mazzy which is so appreciated. Would recommend Oaige again 🙂”


“Kyle was fantastic! Our boys were in great hands. Before we left Kyle was already playing fetch with our Aussie and later we got photos of our chihuahua sound asleep on his lap. Kyle is great at communicating and he’s extremely kind and professional. We’d absolutely use him again. Thanks, Kyle!”
