7. Kyrra W.

“Our pup had a nice time with Kyrra. He is still getting used to new people and Kyrra did a great job helping him to adjust. She provided updates and pictures to put our minds at ease since our dog has separation anxiety and is learning to be away from his family for extended times. We will book again!”

9. Gaby V.


“Gaby was amazing! Truly an incredible dog sitter, and I’ll be reaching out to her again for her services in the future. She took great care of my three dogs one of which is over 17. They clearly had a great time with her and she sent me frequent updates, pictures and even video clips. They seemed less impressed with me when I came home, which I saw as a testament to how much they enjoyed Gaby‘s company. She also took excellent care of my home. Gaby’s responsiveness and communication did wonders to remove the added stress from a last minute business trip.”

“Cameron did a fantastic job taking care of our animals, including a soecial special needs dog. He even gave her injectable medication! He followed our instructions to the letter and checked in sn appropriate amount to clarify thing as as needed (my fault as I made some mistakes in the instructions). He went above and beyond to take great care of our house and provided frequent and adorable updates. We came home to healthy and happy pets and are planning to book with him again!”


15. Emma F.
“I highly recommend Emma as a pet care giver! I trusted her completely with my elderly dog who had Addison’s disease and high blood pressure and was on daily medication. She is responsible, caring (all animals love her) and is just the best! She is my current dog sitter when I go out of town for my very energetic miniature poodle. You won’t be disappointed with Emma!”


16. Monica H.

“I cannot recommend Monica, highly enough for anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring house-sitting dog sitter! Monica provided exceptional service while looking after both our home and Roxi. From our initial communication, Monica was professional, courteous, and demonstrated a genuine love for dogs, she’s even got some kisses from Roxi on our meet and greet! she took the time to understand all of my dog's needs and routines, ensuring a seamless transition while we were away. Monica kept me updated with regular messages and photos, which was reassuring. It was clear that my dog was not only well cared for but also received plenty of love and attention 🥰 In addition to excellent pet care, Monica took great care of our home. Everything was in perfect order and I truly appreciated the extra touches like bringing in the mail. We will definitely be booking Monica again!”


17. Emilyanne K.

“I hesitate to write this review because if people see how incredibly amazing Emily is, then the whole world will hire her to pet sit. We have never had a sitter like Emily. She came early the day we were flying out to Japan, we were a mess, running late, tensions were high. She soothed the whole family with her kindness and helped us get out the door. While we were gone she took impeccable care of our fur babies and our house. Our college age daughter was in and out and she took the time to talk with her about her future plans and just hang out. When anything happened that she had questions about we got an immediate text. It was hard being so far away but our trip was truly amazing because we knew our pets and home were well taken care of. When we got home, everything was clean and tidy and animals were calm and happy, Emily went way beyond our highest expectations. We’ve already booked her for two additional trips this summer. We can’t wait to have Emily sit for us again.”


18. Rita O.
“Rita is great with pets! She is one of the biggest animal lovers I know. She always approaches Cheddar with love and compassion and gives him his space when needed.”


19. Holly H.

“I am so thankful for Holly!! I had to leave my pup, Banana, for a week. This is hard for me as she’s a bit of a high maintenance old lady. But Holly took such great care of her and I was never preoccupied or worried about Banana because I knew she was in such good hands!! I would give her 10 starts if I could!”


20. Amber R.
About: I have been working on Wag! For the last 3 years, but decided to try out Rover since so many people love it!! I have also had many dogs and cats growing up and am good at detecting when a dog is scared or distressed. Not only that, but I also have experience with elderly dogs and puppies and can care for both! I have a total of 348 5-star reviews on Wag! as well as hundreds of achievement badges on my profile for walks I’ve done! I can’t wait to help care for more pets on Rover, it really is what I love!! :) I have an online jewelry business that I run from home, I usually work on my orders at night, so during the day, I am free to help out people who’s pets need some extra care while they’re at work! It brings me so much joy to know that I can be of help for your dog/cat while you’re away! When I do sittings, I usually prefer to sit with the dog/cat throughout the day and go home late in the evening since I work on my jewelry orders from my house at night. But I also understand that some pets need extra love and care even at night so if you give advanced notice, I will do my best to make sure I can be with your pet overnight as well!
