Whether it’s a quick walk or an extended stay, Donna ensures dogs are happy, well-exercised, and cared for as if they were their own. I can’t recommend her enough!”

His communication skills are excellent and he has consistently received excellent reviews from clients. I highly recommend Kevin!”

“I have used Tallyn many times as a dog sitter in my home. Like many folks - I feel like my dog is my child. I worry about him when I am away - thinking that no one can take of a 12 pound dog like I can. Tallyn can. I have found her to be a true animal lover. A wonderful "friend" to my dog and a great and responsible substitute mom. She communicates well and I trust her in all ways - in my home and in taking care of my dog. There are very few that I am that trusting with. I would never hesitate to rerecommend Tallyn to those seeking help with pets. ”

“Jamie is awesome! My pup is half Australian cattle dog, and he absolutely adores Jamie. She is skilled at handling him on a walk (he is very energetic!) and she has good judgment when it comes to dog parks and interacting with dogs in the neighborhood. I would trust her to watch my dog under any circumstances.”
“Grace has always loved animals, especially our 2 dogs. She is kind, caring and very attentive to their needs. For the last 2 years she has worked at the doggie day care that we bring our dogs to. She has been promoted several times and has worked all aspects of the job from the play rooms to front end supervisor. She is dependable and able to handle all needs that your pet may have while giving them lots of love!”
“Kiersten is very reliable and good with my German shepherd. She’s watched all the dogs in the neighborhood. Have heard nothing but great things. 10/10”

“Charlotte was great with our dog Daisy! I know Daisy appreciated the opportunity to get lots of sniffs in.”
“Good Morning, I am writing to highly recommend John for a position as a pet sitter and/or dog walker with Rover. John is an animal lover through and through. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing him for over 10 years, and he’s always impressed me with how reliable and responsible he is. John’s a great at communicator—he always keeps you updated and handles any questions or concerns professionally. On top of that, he’s incredibly kind and trustworthy. He’s also super proactive about understanding what each pet needs. He has this natural way of connecting with animals and making sure they get the love and attention they deserve. I’m confident John would be a fantastic addition to Rover’s community and an amazing caregiver for any pet. Thank you, Ethan”
About: I have never not had a pet in my household, and have developed many pet care skills and traits that would make me a great sitter for your pet. I love all types of dogs and will make them feel comfortable and safe! Although I am a full time college student, I have a lot of down time at home that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part time tuesdays and wednesdays for very short hours that allows me to fulfill the pet care needs. There are four other girls in the household that love animals hence that they will never be alone and will always feel loved! I am easily able to navigate the pet into a crate if needed and will provide treats upon approval of the owner.

“I highly recommend Madalyn! When she cared for my energetic Labrador, Max, I was so impressed with her attentiveness and compassion. Max can be a handful with his boundless energy, but Madalyn managed his walks and playtime with ease, keeping him happy and well-exercised. She even kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away.”
“Shannon took great care of our two rowdy boys! Our dogs are big and she handled them great. She made sure they had water food and treats before she left too. Highly recommend and will be contacting her again!”
