2. Chris M.
“Chris was a fantastic sitter and house guest. My dog is recovering from a major surgery and Chris took such good care of him. Sully was very comfortable and enjoyed his time with Chris. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again. Thank you!!”
3. Terry C.
“Terry is the most trustworthy, reliable, and responsible pet sitter! She sent consistent and detailed updates with pictures and videos. She communicated every day and made us feel so calm and relaxed while we were away because we knew our fur baby was being taken care of. She left our house cleaner than she found it and went above and beyond in her care for our pug and house! Our pug, Phoebe, loves Terry and we will be booking her again for every vacation we go on. I highly recommend Terry if you want someone who will prioritize your pet’s happiness, send tons of pictures and updates, and leave you feeling stress free upon your return home. We really cannot say enough good things about her!! She is the best there is!!”
4. Tracy C.
“Tracy is absolutely outstanding!! She took amazing care of our 14 year old, deaf American Bulldog who requires extra love, care and attention due to her age and various medical conditions. We arrived home to a clean house, a content pup and very grateful neighbors as Tracy also assisted them. I'm recommending her to everyone I know and would love to have her stay again in the future!”
5. Faith S.
“We can’t thank Faith enough for the amazing care she provided for our dog, Luna. Luna is high-energy and a bit anxious, so it’s not easy to leave her with someone new. But Faith went above and beyond to keep us updated throughout her stay, sending pictures and letting us know how everything was going. It was clear that she and Luna bonded wonderfully, and we felt completely at ease knowing Luna was in such capable and caring hands. We highly recommend Faith to anyone looking for a sitter who truly understands dogs and provides top-notch care!”

9. Zoryel S.
“Zoryel took such good care of Cosmo, sent frequent updates and pictures and was very professional. She asked lots of questions about his care to make sure she was prepared to stay with him.

“Shanisa was very responsive and kept our dogs company during our small vacation. I did not receive as much communication as I would have”
16. Brandon E.
“I couldn’t be more proud of my son, Brandon, and the way he cares for his dog, Oliver. From the moment he brought him home, it was clear that he’d go above and beyond to make sure Oliver feels loved and well taken care of. Brandon takes the time to play with him, train him, and make sure his needs are always met. It’s heartwarming to see their bond grow stronger each day. Brandon truly shows what it means to be a responsible and loving pet owner.”
17. Cate C.
About: Hi, I'm Cate and I want to help take care of your pet! I have a sedentary job so I would love to help care for your pets to get myself moving more. I'm joining Rover because I can't think of a better way to get more sunlight/exercise, a little extra cash, and some puppy love! I love animals and have been pet sitting in various capacities for more than 5 years. I've also lived with both cats and dogs, as well as cared for aging pets. I'm a big environmentalist and love being outside so I hope to get lot of dogs to walk around town. I’m experienced in plant care as well if you have plant babies that need attention while you’re out of town as well!
18. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie took great care of Harry while I was out of town for the weekend. Even helped me out with an extra walk last minute. Harry is pretty wary of new people and he warmed up to Stephanie quickly. Would absolutely book with her again!”
19. Dylan H.
“Dylan did an excellent job dog sitting Louie for four days and three nights while we were away. He was attentive and did a great job of keeping to Louie’s daily routines with walks, feeding and medication. We would definitely recommend Dylan and would use him again in the future.”
20. Arynn & Geoffrey B.
“I highly recommend Arynn and Geoffrey! It’s incredibly easy to communicate with them and I always come back to a calm puppy after they have played with her for several hours!”
