“Amanda and her family did a fantastic job with my middle-aged lab. I got frequent pictures of her and she seems to have received the royal treatment! I was invited to come do a meet and greet, too, which was really helpful as it was our first time trusting our treasured girl with this family.”
“Amanda and her husband were amazing with Huckleberry. She told me their house is a dog house and boy was she right! He immediately seemed comfortable there the moment we dropped him off. She gave us consistent updates throughout the stay and treated him as he was her own. He absolutely adored her and was loving all the cuddles and attention. I wouldn’t want anyone else to watch him in the future and I hope we get to utilize Amanda’s services again!”
“Once again, Tiffani and her family took great care of my pup, Rosie, while we were on vacation! She had to help her through a couple thunderstorms for the first time, but I was happy knowing Rosie was extra loved. I appreciated the cute video updates and prompt responses. Rosie LOVES staying with Tiffani & her sweet family! They've become her "home away from home". 🩷”
“SYDNEY IS THE BEST! This was the first time our dog, Primo, stayed with someone who wasn’t already familiar with him, so naturally, we were a little nervous about leaving him while we were away on vacation. From the very beginning, Sydney completely put our minds at ease. She took the time to address every concern we had, answered all of our questions, and reassured us that Primo would be safe, comfortable, and very well taken care of. Sydney was incredibly accommodating, attentive, and professional throughout Primo’s entire stay. What we appreciated most was her communication. Every morning and evening, she sent us pictures along with updates and notes about how Primo was doing. Being able to see him happy and comfortable allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about him. It was clear that Sydney treated Primo with genuine care and attention, and that means everything to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better first experience leaving him with someone new. Sydney has definitely earned our trust, and we will absolutely be using her services again in the future. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, communicative, and trustworthy to care for your pet, we highly recommend Sydney. Thank you, Sydney!”
“Meredith was the best pet sitter I could have asked for. She was so sweet with my dogs and kept me updated with lots of videos and photos. You can tell how much she loves animals and it felt like she treated my pups as her own. Will absolutely be using her in the future!!”

“Angela was great and sent pictures on a regular basis to keep us updated! Cooper felt right at home and we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for your pup.”
“Angela was great! She made Dobby feel comfortable, and kept me in the loop about how he was doing while I was away. Now he's home and crashed out from all the fun.”
“Nani had a longer stay with Cody and I had no concerns! He did a great job following additional instructions due to the longer stay and kept me updated throughout my trip. I feel confident in Cody and his ability to intervene and mediate between dogs in case any overexcitement or aggression happens. I feel comfortable leaving Nani with him knowing she’s in good hands!”
“My two Maltese mix dogs just spent 3 days at Sam’s house and I am very pleased with my experience overall. The communication was great- we received multiple pictures & videos of them having a blast in his HUGE fenced-in backyard. I don’t leave my dogs often so it was great staying updated on their daily activities. I will absolutely be rebooking when in need of a sitter in the future. Thanks again!”
“This is the first we had used the Rover service. Anthony was wonderful!!! Sent us pictures of her playing throughout her stay and took great care of her!! She was in great hands and will definitely be using him again!”
“Alisa was great! Very informative during our introductory call. Easy drop off and pick up even with me not being there physically to drop them off. She sent lots of photos i can definitely tell my two dogs were happy and in a pet loving home. I’d definitely recommend Alisa to anyone!”
“Susan was great to communicate with and easy to work with. Even when unexpected things came up, she was upfront and worked out a good situation for our dog. She was also flexible with pickup when our flight was an hour delayed getting back.”
“It was my first time working with this app and with a sitter overall for my dog. I recommend George for this. Got pictures and updates daily. The process was easy and very clean and private space for the dogs. My dog was not anxious or anything after finishing the stay. Looking forward to leaving her with George again for my next vacation.”

“A very kind and attentive person. She gave my cat her full attention and affection! The daily “card” with the pictures assured me that all was well. And she added a special touch on the last day.”
“Amazing proactive care of my cats, excellent communication! Went above and beyond to make nervous cats comfortable and confident, and made my travel so much less stressful. Will hire again!”
“My kitties have always been cautious around strangers and typically won't greet anyone unless they know them. But within a day Sarah was able to get them to have treats from her and eat while she is around and ACTUALLY allowing them to be petted by her. They aren't the type of cats that warm up to strangers this quickly. I am pleasantly shocked and it truly warmed my heart for other people to see how sweet my little babies are. Thank you so much for doing the drop-in visits.”
“This is the second time I've hired Arden to watch my cats, and I'll definitely continue to be a repeat customer! She is very polite and communicative, and you can tell she really cares about the animals she sits for.”
“Randi was very patient with our cat and sent comprehensive updates about his food/water/litter status, which we appreciated since he has some special needs.”
“Kristina is amazing! My cats loved her instantly and she was so good with them! She also had wonderful communication and sent lots of pictures! I recommend her for sure!!”
“I am so very pleased to have found Alex through the Rover website! Alex was exceptional as a caregiver for our cat and was attentive to his little personality quirks and daily habits. Alex made a point to connect with our cat during the initial intro visit, and I could tell by the daily updates and photos that Alex continued to do everything possible to make his routine “normal” while we were away. It was such a relief to not have to worry because I was so confident in Alex’s great intuition, common sense, and caring attitude toward animals. Thank you, Alex!!!”
“Jackie was awesome. She was super prompt, accommodating with our schedule, and went the extra mile to make sure that our cats got the care they needed. Thanks so much, Jackie!”
“Hanan took great care of Oreo while we were gone and she is the first overnight stay Rover that actually listens to us and takes advantage of the stay and treats it like a staycation which we encourage. We came home to a happy kitty!”
“Excellent cat sitter! Lizzi was so kind and patient with our spicy kitty, Jade. Never pushed her and was always focused on building trust with my skittish girl. Over our long vacation, we felt comfortable and confident knowing Jade was being so well taken care of--we loved all of the updates and photos. It was so comforting to see how well our girl was being cared for. We'll absolutely rebook in the future and look forward to Jade and Lizzi (finally) becoming besties.”
“I trust Brianna with my incredibly shy cat, she makes time to try to give her pets and churu treats even though the cat hides in a closet the whole time. Thank you for taking care of her again!”
“My two cats LOVED Sarah. She treated them like family and it really eased my anxiety about leaving them for five days. Thank you so much Sarah, I truly appreciate your time and kindness.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better experience! Even though we were her very first client, she treated our pup like absolute family from the second we walked in. She was warm, professional, and kept us updated throughout the day, which gave us complete peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and well-cared for. Don't let her lack of reviews fool you, she is a natural at this and truly wonderful with pets. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I couldn’t possibly be happier with my dog’s experience at Teresa’s home. From our meet and greet a few days ago to daycare today, Teresa has been nothing but kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming to my dog and my family. Her dogs were a great mix of playful and chill - my pup is worn out this evening, haha. This is EXACTLY what I was hoping for when I thought about daycare for my new rescue dog. Many more playdates to come. 🙂 It’s so comforting knowing she was in excellent hands.”

“Our Sunny is shy at first when meeting new people, particularly, men. So I was very pleased with how William was able to calm down our apprehensive pup shortly upon meeting her for the first time. And as I expected might happen, by the end of the walk, William did get kisses from Sunny so it was a good beginning for her, too. I'm definitely going to book William again and hope he'll become a regular for us.”
“Colleen is amazing! Her communication is top-notch, and she always keeps me updated with photos and activity details from the walks. Most importantly, she has an incredible connection with our dog, Annie, who absolutely adores her. It gives me total peace of mind knowing she is in such loving and capable hands. Highly recommend Colleen!”
“Izzy is fantastic. Izzy has walked our dog for close to a year. She’s completely reliable, makes sure our dog doesn’t eat anything suspicious while walking, and has even done some dog training.

About: I have been caring for animals since elementary school. I watched cats and dogs for neighbors and friends of the family. As I got older, I started getting referrals for pets from around the community and cared for those animals too. The arch of my kindness and care is not limited to animals, as I also provide care for the elderly. I cared for both of my grandparents and my father until his passing. I currently provide care and other services to a 104 year-old young lady who is believed to be my community’s oldest living resident and yes, she still walks and does not use a wheelchair. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I can care for your pet any day of the week (unless I have another pet scheduled for that day) and at times convenient for most people. I am here to follow your instructions and schedule without deviation. Your fur baby will be feed exactly at the time(s) directed by you, same with any medication(s). For dogs, I will take them outside for walks and indoor/outdoor play as weather permits, and see that their water is always fresh with some treats and cuddles too. For cats, it is play and more play; plus fresh water and treats, then snuggling when we are done.
About: My commitment to providing the highest level of care, combined with my love for animals, ensures that your pet will receive the best possible care while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's in Business and taking care of my mom, so I will have plenty of time, love, and care for your fur babies! Anytime or anyplace, I am here for you and your babies! By focusing on safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I ensure that pets are not only well-cared for but also feel secure and loved, making their time away from their owners as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾🐾
About: I've owned/fostered/rescued animals my whole life, and I'm an avid animal lover. I run a rescue program with my friend and community members, and am very skilled with medical monitoring and behavior reading. I have experience working with special needs and elderly animals. I've administered oral medication and eye drops, changed doggy diapers, and bottle fed babies. I also have experience working with aggressive and territorial animals, I maintain a gentle and patient energy and work hard to create a secure relationship with each pet. I don't mind cleaning, I love super active animals, and I'm confident and reliable in caretaking. I work independently as an artist and curator, so I make my own schedule, so I always have plenty of time for your fur baby. I am unable to watch pets at my own place, as I am constantly fostering and have my own cats. I've been a trusted house/pet/baby sitter for 10 years, and will take great care of your space.
