1. Annette G.
“100% recommend. Best, best friend ever! Annette was delightful to work with. She was punctual, attentive and organized. She stayed with our pups for full 4 days and she was always in touch and feeding the animals the right medications and meals. On top of that she was organized and clean. Lastly, what we enjoyed the most is that our dogs seemed very happy and relaxed with her. She is a true find and look forward to working with her in the near future.”
2. Andrew T.
“Andrew was an incredible rover- very responsive, responsible and treated our dog with genuine care. We are so grateful for him watching our dog and would highly recommend him to any pet parent!”
3. Nolan D.
“Another rave for Nolan. Oliver took to him instantly and was clearly well taken care of, with romps and walks, and chill time. Lots of photo updates. Would hire him again with enthusiasm.”
4. Alana C.
“Alana is absolutely wonderful and made our little ones feel at ease. Our cat Leo & new pup Simone immediately connected with Alana and I had full confidence that everyone was in great hands. Thanks again!!”
5. Sara D.
“Sara took wonderful care of Charlie and I would certainly leave him with her again. Even though he can be shy, Charlie took to Sara the first time he met her which put me right at ease. It was easy to communicate with her and it was so nice to receive pictures of them together. When I returned it was obvious that Charlie was well taken care of and that my condo was left as clean and neat as I left it!!”
6. Morgan L.

7. Nicole C.
“Nicole is a wonderful pet sitter. She is incredibly good with dogs who adore her. She is responsible and respectful of any pet-specific needs. She is also good with dog training and keeping your pup sharp. We trust her immensely and seeing our pup so happy with her gives us good reason to. Our pup loves her immensely, and I know yours will too!”
8. Leona C.
“Leona was so caring to Milo as it was his first time away from me since Ive had him. She kept in great communication and even bought him a toy. She also offered to stop back to check in him if my flight was delayed. I couldnt have been happier with her service!”
9. Kaitlyn A.
“Kaitlyn took great care of our elderly, fragile dog and our two cats, and also of our home! We would be very happy to have Kaitlyn back the next time we are out of town.”
10. Ani T.
“Moose loved his night hanging with Ani! My plans were last minute, so I reached out to Ani only a few hours before needing her. She was quick to respond and very professional. She even came by before to meet Moose and learn some paticulars about him. She was very communicative and send updates often along with pictures. I felt at ease all night and loved the pictures of him. Definitely will be using Ani in the future!”
11. Sylvia D.
About: I have lived with dogs since I was a baby and am currently raising two dogs of my own. My older dog is a rescue who was found on the streets. He has a lot of anxiety so I have experience dealing with anxious, stressed dogs. My other dog is three years old and I have raised her since she was 12 weeks.. I have done all of her training including potty training, being able to wait and sit, and some tricks. I feel capable to continue my clients pets training however they have been trained. I am also open to helping any clients pets be better behaved. I normally will use treat and voice based reward systems. I will never negatively reinforce a dog, only positive reinforcement I am a college student here in Massachusetts from Seattle, WA! I work at my University’s admissions office a few times a week and of course have a few classes each week day. I really just love animals especially dogs and cats so I started Rover to be able to make some money to pay for my college expenses as well as have time well spent with amazing pets! When I’m not in classes or working I love walking and/or running so walking dogs is something I really enjoy and make a priority when scheduling my weeks. I am happy to house/pet sit for any clients as well. I’d just be gone a few hours each day for class but other than that I’ll make sure to give 100% attention to your angels! I walkways follow the instructions of my clients home and make sure everything is clean and up to the highest standards. I'll send my clients many pictures of their furry friend so they know that they are happy and being cared for. I’ll check in with my client if I ever have any questions to make sure their angels are being treated with the best care! I’m very communicative and will update every step of the way through my visits.
12. Ethan K.
“Ethan was great with our house and crew of animals. He setup a meet and greet prior to staying at our house which is always nice. He was very attentive and communicated with us while we were away. He also provided updates and pictures. The house and animals were in great shape when we returned. Definitely recommend.”
13. Maura F.
“Maura did a great job watching our puppy and our cat today. She was very sweet with the animals and followed all our rules. We will definitely be using her again!”
14. Alexa P.
“Alexa was amazing!! She swooped in at the last minute to care for my 2 senior dogs on my wedding day when another sitter had cancelled. She’s incredibly fair priced, caring, communicative, and checks in with photos and details. Will absolutely rebook again!”
15. Madison I.
“Madison LOVES animals and is so good with them! She took good care of my dog when she has sat for her in the past.”
16. Adam T.
“Adam is a great dog caregiver, he has been around dogs his whole life and is very capable of taking care of your family friend. I have trusted Adam to care for my dog while I was on a weeklong vacation, he gave us updates daily and we never questioned the care our dog was receiving.”
17. Lyna M.
“Lyna was a great sitter for Cooper! She spent the time with us ahead of the sitting to get to know Coop and for him to get comfortable with her, and during the stay, she provided regular updates and great photos! She was also a great houseguest and left my apartment just as I left it, which I was quite impressed by! She will definitely be sitting for Coop again!”
18. Matthew J.
“Matt was able to sit for us on very short notice when someone else cancelled. He took great care of our dog and we would definitely hire him again!”
19. Jamie G.
“Jamie did a great job of taking care of our three puppies. She stayed at our place and was there part of each day and stayed overnight with them, sending us updates and photos while we were away. When we came home the house was in great shape and the puppies all seemed happy.”
20. Jessica M.
“Jessica was great! She came several times prior to our trip to help our pup get familiar with her. She was very patient with his fearful personality. Would highly recommend.”
