“Olivia was great! She kept us updated on her stay with our dog Bowie and respected our home as if it were her own. We highly recommend her services!”


3. Kellie M.

“Kellie was so wonderful with our dog Russell. We were abroad for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures and updated his activities for us to share. He loves her and so do we! She also took great care of the house and we found everything in tip top order. I can not recommend her more highly!! And we will hire her again to watch Russell. Thank you Kellie XXXXOOO”


4. Kathryn R.

“Kathryn was so communicative and thoughtful with our pets! Our big dog was being super stubborn due to being on new painkillers while we wait for our surgery date, and Kathryn was so patient and caring with our doggie. It’s always a good sign when our kitty warms up to her quickly too! Moana cat was in her lap immediately! 5/5 absolutely will recommend and already plan to use again!”


5. Jessica M.

“We just came back from our first vacation in years and Jessica was a huge reason our trip was great. We have two dogs we care deeply for and boarding them for just a weekend was stressful… and expensive! Our older dog has incredible anxiety every time we leave. So we decided to give Rover a try and we’re very happy we did. We met with a couple of sitters before our trip and Jessica impressed us with her flexibility and professionalism so we asked her to dogsit for the three nights we were away. She was great with our dogs and cared for them the way we wanted. In addition, she sent us pictures and texts with updates on the dogs. She made a great impression and completely sold us on Rover. I now feel confident that we can take more relaxing vacations knowing how well she took care of our dogs! I couldn’t have asked for more.”


6. Noelle C.

“Noelle was amazing. Our dogs love her. She gave us a ton of updates and we were very comfortable with her taking care of our pups in our house. We will definitely be asking her sit again.”


7. Brittany D.

“Brittany was a great sitter for our puppy, Kya, while we were away for Thanksgiving. She was positive, caring and great at communicating updates throughout her stay. I would definitely recommend Brittany - we’ve already booked her in for the next time we’ll be away. Brittany, thanks for being so caring and thoughtful with Kya!”


8. Sara S.

“Sara took such amazing care of our dog while we were away!! She stayed at our house with Roxy and took care of her for 6 days. Sara sent us lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She took Roxy on walks, played ball with her in our backyard, gave her lots of love and made sure she was okay during the holiday neighborhood fireworks and in the summer heat. We were so happy with Sara that we already booked her to stay with Roxy for our next vacation in a few weeks!”


9. Angela B.


“Angela was fantastic! She kept us updated with pics and texts, and also asked any questions that were left out of our note. She was super insightful and I could tell our dogs liked her much better than our previous care taker. She was awesome and will definitely book again!”


10. Trebawan S.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Nothing can describe the dedication and reliability of Trebawan! I was out of town for a week and my dog made a new best friend. He went above and beyond! Twice daily videos and open communication….I would not hesitate in any way to recommend his services. Professional , super kind, and a gentleman. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Nancy D & Miss Jewels.⭐️⭐️⭐️”


11. Christopher C.

“Chris stayed at our house over the week of Thanksgiving to take care of our 2 elder dogs, one which has some special needs and we couldn't have been happier with everything Chris did. He took excellent care of the pups (and our house), he was very detailed, responsible and treated our dogs as if they were his own. We have hired several dog sitters over the years and Chris is by far the best. He truly went above and beyond. Highly recommend him.”


12. Whitnee M.
“Whitnee was great and my dogs loved her!”


13. Madison S.
“Madison is a wonderful young lady who is a pet owner that has experience walking dogs for family and friends. She is an animal lover who considers them to be family and not just a pet. When she walks dogs she is responsible, trustworthy and gives her full attention to the animal. The best kind of dog walker is the one who treats the dog like their own and that is what Madison does. You can count on her to provide a loving, safe and fun experience for your furry friend!”


14. Abigail P.

“Abigail has watched our two dogs multiple times. She is very good at keeping us up to date. When we cancelled flight she was very flexible in being able to help us. Highly recommend.”


15. Aimee L.
“They are so amazing at caring for pets! I have had them care for my dog and cats before and always do such an excellent job. On top of that, they have also cared for my leopard gecko, baby tarantula, and corn snake in the past and always do such an incredible job(even when feeding live insects and doing frozen/thawed mice). They are patient, responsible, and clearly love animals very much.”


16. Tonimichelle s.
About: Lifetime of Experience – From Puppies to Seniors, Big to Small! Raised, trained, and cared for animals since childhood, including rescues, strays, and special-needs pets. Skilled in training, hospice care, and even delivering puppies (including breached births!). Reliable transportation and years of shelter volunteer work mean I bring patience, expertise, and a deep love for all animals. Whether your pet needs structured training, extra cuddles, or senior care, they’re in experienced hands! Pet care is the perfect balance to my busy career—it’s how I unwind. My schedule allows me to provide care in the evenings during the week, mornings on weekends, and overnight most nights. I’m also available for multiple-night stays as long as I can work during the day. Animals have always been a grounding force in my life, and I love spending my free time making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I provide care in my clients’ homes, ensuring pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it’s leash walks, supervised playtime in the yard, or just keeping them company, I tailor my care to their needs. I focus on keeping routines consistent, providing plenty of engagement, and making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while their owner is away.


17. Jocelin D.
“Jocelin is my stepdaughter and over the last 10 years. She has been a wonderful support and caretaker for our three dogs. Two of those dogs have passed and later in their lives, they required medication and extra support. Jocelin was wonderful with them and stayed very calm during times of need. Currently, our black lab Evie Is younger, and Jocelin takes great care of her. She loves to walk her and ensures that her meals and treats occur on time. She would be a great addition to your team and would be able to take care of any pet with care and responsibility.”


18. Olivia B.
“Olivia has fostered so many dogs and is so active in the animal community. I have seen her take these dogs and change their lives and find amazing homes for them. She is constantly showering them with love and walking them everyday.”


19. Avery R.
“Avery is a dependable and responsible caregiver for my dogs. I don’t have one moment of worry when I am away knowing she is taking care of them.”


20. Maria I.
“María has always been great at watching my pets when needed. She is willing to work around my schedule and is great with my dog. I highly recommend her!”
