Truly such a great sitter. My cat doesn’t trust many people easily and she loved Caroline. She went above and beyond to make sure she took as best care of my Pearl. Couldn’t be happier!

Drew was AMAZING!! He’ll definitely be my first call the next time that I need care for our dog. He kept me updated the whole weekend and sent me tons of pictures. My dog seemed SO happy!! Drew also took him on several walks, which helped a TON because our dog has so much energy. We couldn’t have been happier with Drew. He was the BEST!!

Melissa's care and attention to detail exceeded all of my expectations. From the moment I reached out to Melissa, I knew my pets would be in good hands. Her communication skills are impeccable, always prompt and thorough. She took the time to learn about my pets' routines, quirks, and preferences, ensuring they felt comfortable and happy in her care. During her visits, Melissa went above and beyond to provide not only the essentials but also plenty of love and companionship. She sent regular updates and photos, giving me peace of mind while I was away. It was evident that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my pets, and they adored her in return. What truly sets Melissa apart is her professionalism and dedication. She treated my home with respect, adhering to any specific instructions I provided and leaving everything neat and tidy.

From his childhood dog, Murph to his office companion, Coco, Dean has spent years caring for dogs. He’s never met a dog on his frequent walks in the neighborhood who doesn’t bend an ear or offer a paw to his request to pet, scratch or shake. Trustworthy and with an attention to detail, you can expect your pet to feel loved and cared for by Dean.

As others here are saying, Ruth was *really* great--my somewhat shy, standoffish cat quickly and visibly warmed to her (she had a very gentle, low-key way of introducing herself to him). It was a relief to have her checking in on him. As to logistics: she was extremely quick and precise in answering messages, and very patient and flexible with the multiple times I had to tweak my booking request (because of unforeseen travel changes on my end). The kitchen was cleaner than when I left, and Ruth also went out of the way to bring trash and recycling containers off the street, something I hadn't asked her to do but appreciate. As to keeping this skeptical little cat company: she was very perceptive; I would genuinely trust her if there were an emergency of basically any kind. She put him at ease and got him to eat (something he sometimes is reluctant to do when stressed); she must have been a very reassuring presence. I also appreciate her detailed messages and several photos in which he's rolling on his back looking fairly pleased by things. When I got back this morning he seemed in much better spirits than he normally does after I have to travel. Thank you Ruth!

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Faith, a student of mine, who is applying to become a dog walker and caretaker on Rover. I have known Faith for many years, and I am confident in her abilities as a pet-sitter due to her exceptional qualities and experiences. While she was surrounded by pets her entire life, Faith's passion for animals became evident when she welcomed her border collie, Bingo, into her life at the age of twelve. Faith's dedication and determination led her to teach Bingo over 100 tricks and participate in dog agility classes together. Their bond was remarkable, and they worked diligently to earn Bingo's certification as a Canine Good Citizen. Faith's history in training and understanding canine behavior truly sets her apart. Having grown up surrounded by various pets, including cats and chickens, Faith possesses years of experience caring for animals. She is equally adept at meeting the needs of cats as she is with dogs, as evidenced by her deep understanding and natural affinity for feline companions. Faith can read their behaviors, provide the necessary care, and create a nurturing environment. Her love for cats is evident through her playful interactions and patient approach, as demonstrated by her endearing relationship with her mischievous and spirited cat, Nelly. Faith is currently a proud owner of a rescue border collie named Little Pip, who exemplifies her remarkable abilities as a pet caretaker. Little Pip is well-behaved and possesses a gentle and sweet nature, a testament to Faith's training and nurturing. Her knowledge of animal behavior allows her to understand their needs and emotions, enabling her to provide the appropriate care and attention required. One of Faith's notable strengths is her ability to read animals and establish a connection with them. She is attuned to their signals and can effectively respond to their needs. Faith is both gentle and firm when necessary, demonstrating a balanced approach to handling animals. Her playfulness and enthusiasm make her an ideal companion, ensuring that pets under her care receive not only responsible attention but also a fun and engaging experience. Faith's sense of responsibility is unwavering. She takes her commitments seriously and can be relied upon to provide exceptional care to any pet entrusted to her. Her genuine love and concern for the well-being of animals drive her to go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and safety. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Faith as a pet-sitter. Her extensive experience, training, and profound understanding of animals make her an excellent candidate for this role. Faith's responsible nature, combined with her playful demeanor, guarantees that any pet under her care will receive exceptional attention and care. I have complete trust in Faith's abilities as a pet owner and am confident that she will excel in her endeavors as a pet walker and caretaker. - Katrina

Teresa has given great care and attention to our german shepherd on many walks in the woods and on our roadways, and provides both love and affection as well as a strong hand to keep her in control when needed. I recommend Teresa unreservedly as a great asset to the Rover team.

Noura has taken care of my cat many times over 1 1/2 years and is my go-to pet sitter. She's so caring, sweet, and responsible. If she was able to get my shy, anxious cat to warm up to her, she would be able to make any pet feel comfortable. Thanks Noura!
