“Laura is reliable and professional. She has come to watch my cats while I was out of town multiple times and I know she treats my fur babies well. She sends me photos and videos of them which makes my day while I'm out of town. I first met Laura years ago during graduate and know she is responsible, professional, friendly, and has a big heart for all animals. She would watch not only my pets but our other classmates as well. Look no further if you want a dependable sitter with the biggest heart for animals!”

13. Kevin M.
“Kevin was GREAT with my dogs! His girlfriend is also a Rover sitter so my dogs had the pleasure of being with them both. I received so many photos and videos. My dogs looked like they were smiling in the photos. And on my down time while away, when I started to think, “I wonder how the dogs are doing?”, I’d see they already texted me with an update. They were super responsive and helpful. We had requested house sitting and staying overnight with the dogs. Kevin brought in our mail, cleaned up any extra dog hair on the floor (my dogs shed ALOT) and they kept the house pristine. They took very good care of our home & our pups (and even fed our fish and watered our plants). I highly recommend!!”

18. Laura A.
“Laura was FABULOUS!! She did such a great job watching my dog while on vacation. I was able to be at peace knowing my dog was well taken care of. She sent me updates and pictures frequently without being promoted which was much appreciated! She left my apartment perfect! I will 10000% be using her in the future and recommend Laura to anyone looking for a sitter! Can not recommend enough!”
19. Adriana G.
“I could not recommend Adriana enough. She is incredibly responsible and caring. She loves all types of animals - especially dogs. I’ve seen her care for her own with the utmost attention, love and respect. I would trust her with any of my animals and know that in her care they would be well taken care of. If you are looking for someone like this - look no further than Adriana!”
