Meric was a fantastic dog sitter. He was responsive and accommodating when we had a last minute trip; was super easy-going, competent and respectful about our instructions for pet sitting; kept us up to date with photos; and left the apartment in great condition. We can’t wait for him to pet sit over our next trip.

Crystal was amazing. My dog has a very hard time trusting new people. She took extra time and care to make sure my dog was comfortable and happy. Communication during the stay was amazing, I got photos and videos daily. I would definitely recommend Crystal.

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of Cody! Cody has anxiety and she was very patient with him until he warmed up to her. She sent lots of picture updates and even help me straiten up my kitchen. She is a very nice and trustworthy person. I will definitely request her again!

Nia was wonderful! She arrived early and stayed late when I wasn't able to get back by the time I stated. Merlin took an instant liking to her and seemed to be very comfortable after I left (he has separation anxiety so it's a big deal). I would definitely use her again.

Mary was a wonderful housesitter for our puppy, Winnie. She was super accommodating of our schedule and made everything super pleasant and easy. Winnie is a puppy and needed extra attention and care and Mary was great with her! I could tell that Winnie really enjoyed her time with Mary and we felt completely at ease the whole time Mary was with her. I would highly recommend Mary to anyone!

My original pet sitter canceled on me and I’m so glad she did! Because of that, I got to work with Heather, who was so kind, communicative and professional. This was my first experience using Rover and Heather made me feel really secure about leaving Teddy at home while I traveled for work. I know he was so much happier with her than he would have been in a boarding situation. I hope to work with Heather again in the future.

Alia was a great overnight sitter for our two dogs (35lbs and 60lbs). She was able to handle them in a pretty dog-packed apartment building and on walks. Both of them enjoyed having her over and warmed up to her quickly.

Alexis is such a stellar sitter. I’m grateful that someone as empathetic as her is about to take care of my old cat boy. Despite needing ridiculous amounts of medication, Alexis is always excited to see him and I know he’s in great hands when he’s with her. She’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had!

Julia did a fabulous job watching my 3 dogs - wow! I got daily updates and photos, my apartment was spotless when I got home, and she was incredibly flexible and helpful when my travel plans changed. I’m about to book her for all my upcoming work travel and look forward to having her stay with my dogs again.

Ciera is so trusting and just so good with animals. Since I’ve known her, she has been nothing short of determinedly responsible, compassionate, and kind. I live with a cat and I’ve never seen someone other than Ciera become so close with this cat so quickly. Ciera would be a great fit for all types of pets and you’d sleep soundly knowing you are in good hands.

Edgar was an absolute joy to work with. Attentive, personable, and reliable from start to finish. I felt completely safe leaving my two cats in his care for the week (one is sick and requires meds) and would book again in a heartbeat. Thanks again, Edgar!

Ann Marie watched our two lab mixed rescues...1 and 2 years old..for a week while we traveled to my daughter's graduation. She was great! Lots of walks everyday, she sent pictures daily and wasn't afraid to text with questions. She looked after the house for us..everything we needed to enjoy the in-person graduation we thought would never happen! I would highly recommend!!
