Rachelle did a great job watching my dog at my home for the weekend. She handled some walk difficulties my pup gave her very well, and I came home to a well cared for dog. Will use again.

Emily was wonderful with our three pets including our reactive anxious dog! She was also very communicative throughout the weekend with photos and followed instructions very well.

Erica cared for my 2 year old labradoodle, Holly, for about 5 days at my apartment. She clearly loves dogs and so I felt comfortable knowing Holly was in good hands. Erica is a great communicator and kept me up to date on how Holly was going the whole time. I came home to a happy and well cared for dog. I 100% recommend Erica as a dog sitter, she is fantastic.

Timothy was the perfect sitter for my boy Marvin! You know they had a great week together when your dog is crying and looking all over the house for Timothy when he left! I knew he was in good hands based on the pictures and updates. Timothy also was the perfect house guest, looking after all my things, following my instructions, and ensuring everything was clean and orderly upon my return! So very pleased, he is now my definite go-to caretaker!

Emily was great! Very professional, communicative, prompt, and kind. She took great care of our very anxious rescue and he seemed calm and at ease with her while were gone for a day trip. She has a very gentle demeanor which puts our dog at ease and I think most dogs will respond well to. We are excited to keep booking Emily!

Raakhee was incredible!!! She's super attentive to every detail and took such good care of Mac. Her communication was excellent and she wrote us an amazing note and even left a nice little card. We loved having her watch Mac and know he was in great hands! We can't wait to have her back!!

Billie made my first experience with Rover a seamless and stressless experience. From the meet and greet to the way she continuously updated me via messages, to the way she left the apartment I never worried and my dog Maybe had a great time with her! Will be using her in the future!

Alona watched over my two dogs while I was away on a work trip, and she was great with communicating/sending updates with cute pictures. She was also flexible and understanding when timing needed to change a little, and asked great questions during our neet and greet. Definitely would recommend her and will be asking her to stay with them again!

Great experience with a home stay to take care of our cat! She sent us photos and updates while we were out for 10 days. We came home around midnight and were so grateful to Navya for washing the sheets, running the dishwasher, and taking the trash out so we could settle right back in. Our cat clearly got the love and attention he needs, which was the most important thing for us.

Allison was a great house and pet sitter. She provided regular updates and when I got home my apartment was clean and my doggy was happy. My dog is reactive which makes me nervous when I leave her with sitters but Allison was reassuring and I was glad Mae had no issues.

Mia is the best dog sitter Mia and Archie could have hoped for! She stayed in our home with the dogs for 10 days and followed all of our instructions exactly, going above and beyond by providing updates (and adorable photos/videos!) multiple times each day — which made it easier to relax on vacation knowing the dogs were in such good hands. It became clear that Mia is not only responsible and trustworthy, but a true dog lover (and they loved her back!). She also offered to water our plants, brought in our packages for us, and left the house near and tidy for our return. We will definitely plan to reach out to Mia to care for our dogs again next time we travel. :)

Leslie was amazing to work with and she was amazing with Ruxin. He gets so nervous when we leave on a trip, and we came home this time to see him full of smiles, tail wagging. She loved on him well, and went above and beyond. We'll be getting a hold of Leslie again soon!
