5. Caitlyn A.
“You want Caitlyn to care for your pet! I have known Caitlyn for most of her life, and she loves all animals. She was the first one I called to watch my dogs. She has been dog sitting for me since she was in middle school. When she was in high school, she obtained a job from a local, reputable dog care facility. She continued to dog sit for me when needed. She is so dedicated to animals and loves them with all her heart. Call Caitlyn to care for your furbaby! You won't be disappointed.”

10. Michaela W.
“Michaela is super cool and our two giant labs loved spending a few days with her! Always responsible and responsive, Michaela has such an easy going and good-natured attitude, our dogs really felt comfortable with her and are always full tail-wagging whenever she's around! Thanks for an awesome stay and allowing us to get away feeling comfortable that our dogs were in such friendly and capable hands!”
11. Molly T.
“Molly was great with my pups! I could tell my dogs were happy when I got home and that they weren't stressed the whole time I was away. She loved on them and played with them and sent some great pics along the day. Thanks again Molly!”
12. Milena B.
“Milena was absolutely wonderful with my two dogs! She responded to my request for a dog sitter immediately and was friendly, flexible and professional. My dogs are pretty high energy and nervous around new people, but they quickly warmed up to Milena. I knew my pups were in great hands with her and it made my weekend away that much more relaxing. She updated me regularly with how they were doing and sent great photos. I would highly recommend her and can’t wait to have her back!”
13. Nevaeh S.
“Nevaeh was such a great sitter! She loved on my dog and his best bud for a few days and was very communicative and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog with her. Will definitely be reaching out to her again!”
14. Caitie C.
“Caitie was wonderful! We received regular updates with pictures and reassurance that they were happy and healthy. When we arrived home the dogs were happy and well cared for as well as Albus, the cat, who is very picky about who he chooses to interact with. We will definitely use Caitie and Rover.com again!”
15. Estrella N.
“Estrella does a wonderful job with my cat, she’s engaging, kind, and attentive. My cat is typically very skiddish but she came right up to her.”
16. Claire W.
“Claire took great care of both my kids. They had different food, had to eat separately and both took medication. She kept it all flowing smoothly and exercised them every day. She gave plenty of love, and one pup was jealous -she kept things from escalating. Would definitely recommend.”
17. Audre H.
“Audre was awesome, communicated well. She took pics of my herd which was amazing because they are scaredy cats and dont come out for anyone. She stayed at my house and left it clean, no complaints at all. Will be totally booking with her again.”
18. Becca M.
“Becca has watched Penelope twice now. She took great care of Penny, taking her on lots of adventures! I think Penny had more fun with Becca than she usually does with us :) Becca is super responsive and always on time. We will be using Becca again to take care of Penelope!”
19. Claire H.
“Claire is amazing! She took the beat care of our pups and kitty while staying in our home. One of our dogs can be pretty anxious around new people, but she did great with Claire. She also left our house immaculate! HIGHLY recommend booking with her.”
20. Emily M.
“Emily was great and very responsive! She was willing to accommodate any requests and was super friendly, we’ll definitely be using her again!”
