“Deborah went over and above for my four legged family. Her regular updates kept me informed, and made my time away a little easier. She even dealt with a heating issue that came up. I am so grateful”
2. Laura P.
“I am so grateful to have found Laura and highly recommend her! She is beyond wonderful and clearly an animal lover (it is also very clear that animals take to her immediately and adore her). From my very first inquiry she was professional and very responsive. I was going away for the Thanksgiving holiday and needed a sitter for my two rescue dogs (one of which can have sporadic behavioral issues). Laura was so flexible scheduling a meet and greet and I felt immediately comfortable -not only having her take care of my dogs but also having her in my home. While she was caring for my dogs, she checked in frequently and sent great pictures of their playtime, walks and snuggles. I tend to be a nervous dog mom, so I appreciated having the peace of mind by receiving these updates. When I arrived home from my holiday travels, my house was spotless and exactly as I had left it. It is clear that Laura is very thoughtful and caring, and that she truly catered to my pups while I was away. In addition, I had confused my dates when I scheduled her on the Rover app, and she was incredibly accommodating and flexible. I look forward to having Laura care for my pups in the future and am so happy to have found her.”
3. CJ B.
“CJ did a great job with Coco!! I left Coco with CJ for about 4.5 days; he sent updates every day with photos to help ease my worry, and gave Coco lots of love and attention while I was gone. He also left the house definitely cleaner than how I had left it. Thanks CJ!”
4. Haley C.
“Haley did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. She was respectful, on time, and caring. We would highly recommend Haley to anyone seeking care for their pet.”
5. Marc S.
“Marc is a life long pet owner. He is reliable and very good with dogs. He has watched my dogs for years with no issues. I would trust him completely with my home and pats. I have recommended Marc as a pet sitter to friends who have been very satisfied. Highly recommend.”
6. Nicole S.
“Nicole and Terrenze took great care of my cats and pup. I will certainly hire them again next time I go out of town!”
7. Gillian G.
“I contacted Gillian excited that there was a Rover resource close by to our new home. Gillian is great at communication, and we set up a meet and greet. It was clear that Gillian loves animals and commits to providing them extra love and attention while their owners are away! Gillian sent great updates and Princesa my dog so enjoyed Gillian. Gillian left our home immaculate and washed the sheets and made the bed before she ended her stay. I already booked Gillian for a future date, and I look forward to using her as a resource when I travel. I am so grateful to have Gillian caring for my home and Princesa while I am away so that I don’t need to worry about Princesa getting extra love and cuddles in my absence! Dr. Brian J. Rachmaciej”
8. Alaina M.
“Alaina house sat for our three pets, one dog and two cats, over the weekend. We all met with her beforehand, and she hit it off with our pets right away. She was pleasant to talk too, and we felt good knowing she would be taking care of our pets and home while away. We're grateful she was able to sit for us. She communicated with us as necessary, and we found everything in good order when we arrived home. We're sure our pets approved! Thank you, Alaina!”
9. Jeffrey H.
“Jeff is an incredibly compassionate, caring, and responsible person. He has taken care of my dog so many times and I trust him completely to always give her extra attention, walks, love and playtime. You would be doing yourself a favor by booking with him! I can go to work peacefully knowing that my dog is well taken care of in his hands. He really has a way with animals and I know yours will love him immediately.”
10. Elias V.
“Eli was always in a household with cats since he was very young. He has two golden retrievers at his home that he totally adores. He has never met an animal that he shows both love and kindness. He has a very calm demeanor and would be more than capable of caring for any animal.”
11. Jacquelyn R.
“Jacquelyn was absolutely amazing with our 1.5 year old lab, Ruthie! It was our first time leaving her with someone new and it was so amazing to work with someone so responsive, assuring, trustworthy, and responsible. Ruthie loved her! We will absolutely be using Jacquelyn again and highly recommend!”
12. Lisa V.
“Lisa has watched my border collie numerous times & frankly - despite my dog being very skeptical of new people - I think my dog likes her better than me now. She only ever gives her the highest quality treats, takes her on looong walks, and utterly pampers the pupper beyond Doggo’s wildest dreams. There are 2 people in all the world besides my spouse with whom I’d trust Doggo, and Lisa is one of them. She really loves animals, is attentive, thoughtful & empathetic as well as diligent & resourceful.”
13. Iris F.
“Iris was absolutely great with our pit bull mix, who has anxiety, and a handful of our feathered friends. She was very flexible with our scheduling needs and we would use her again with no hesitation.”
14. Hayley R.
“Hayley was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the time she spent at our home. We immediately felt at ease leaving our senior dogs in her care for a week, and would definitely recommend her as a pup and house sitter.”
15. Kira K.
“Kira loves all creatures, and has cared for all types of animals her entire life. Animals gravitate towards her. She has been called “the dog whisperer” many times, as she can calm them down and get them to do things that no one else seems to be able to do. She is even able to trim the nails of the most anxious dogs and cats around. Animals have been her life-long passion. So much so that she went to school to become a board certified veterinary technician. She will be able to love and care for all of your pet needs. Taking care of cats, dogs, horses, chickens, sheep, goats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. She will be happy to responsibly house sit (either staying at your home or visiting throughout the day) dog walk, play, cuddle, or assist with any medical needs. You will feel confident that your pets will have the best care around, and they will be treated like family ❤️”
16. Laura B.
“Laura is a wonderful person and dog sitter. She took care of my two little dogs like they were her own. She is very thoughtful and caring. She ensured that all their needs were taken care of and followed the directions I left perfectly. She sent pictures and kept in touch with me about them while I was gone. She stayed in my house for an extended time and when I returned, she had left the house in perfect condition...clean and tidy. It was wonderful coming home and seeing how calm and happy the dogs were. Highly recommended!!!”

20. Makenna C.
About: I have had dogs all my life and have taken care of my own since I am old enough now. I watch dogs and cats for my neighbors and grandparents. I like spending time outdoors with my dogs and walking them and throwing the ball. I have cat sit before and was really easy and fun to me! My schedule is kind of wonky right now as I am in college, but I am free on weekends and some weekdays whenever you might need me! My dog takes meds right now for seizures so I am experienced at giving dogs medicine. Very responsible animal lover I have always had animals in my life. I am good about having the house clean when there’s a fluffy shedding dog in it.
