Nichole was amazing! This was my first time using Rover and she made me feel comfortable every step of the way. She always communicated with us and provided updates with pictures on how the dogs were doing.

Great sitter all around. Easygoing and kindly! Couldn’t ask for better care for our anxious Spoo who doesn’t like for his hoomans to leave…ever. Nice to enjoy an evening out with zero worries. Jessica would know exactly what to do! A++

Highly recommend Tori for you pet needs. She is extremely prompt in her responses. She sent pictures of the pets on her arrival to our home and then daily. She even sent a video. Our dog can be very nervous around new people but took right to Tori, putting our minds at ease while we were way. We will definitely be booking her again in the future.

Jenna is fantastic! She took great care of our dog and house during a recent house-sitting. She kept us updated about how he was doing and provided adorable photos everyday! We're looking forward to booking Jenna again in the future.

Rebekah is an absolute rock star! I cannot express how pleased and happy we were with her service. Leaving our pets for a few days is always stressful, you want to know they're well cared for just as you would and Rebekah did not disappoint. Her communication was fabulous, the pictures she sent throughout the day were magnificent and we were able to enjoy a few days away without a single worry. Rebekah is the best sitter we've ever had and look forward to using her services again and again. Thank you so very much!!

Stacey was great and we look forward to using her again in the future! She was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. She took great care of our pups and our house while we were away. We got lots of pictures of our pups and I felt very confident they were in good hands. She was patient with one of our pups who can take a bit to warm up to new people. She was extremely respectful of our home and left it in excellent condition. She brought in packages for us and even offered to water our plants.

Erika was amazing! I had a last minute trip and she was able to set up a meet and greet right away before house sitting. She took excellent care of Charlie & Leo, communicated frequently, and even did some cleaning before she left. I will definitely be reaching out to Erika again to care for my pups.

We couldn't be happier with the exceptional care Toby received from Kaitlyn! From the moment we met, it was evident that she had a genuine love for animals. Toby was not just looked after, but showered with attention, walks, and playtime. The daily photo updates were a delightful touch, providing us with peace of mind and a chance to see Toby thriving in a home away from home. Kaitlyn ensured that Toby's routine was maintained. We highly recommend their services to anyone seeking a reliable, caring, and dedicated dog sitter.

Becca was a fantastic dog sitter. She stayed with my 11-week-old pug puppy for the day in my apartment. You could tell she loves dogs and asked great questions about his routine and preferences. It was comforting knowing that he was well cared for while I was at work and could stay in his routine at home.  I would definitely recommend Becca and would rebook with her.

Madison was a great house sitter. She communicated well and sent daily updates. She left the house sparkling clean and neat. She provided peace of mind as Milo is an elderly dog and needs some extra attention. I would definitely hire her again, but she’s so popular, you’ve got to book far in advance!

The instant our animals met John, they loved him! Both our cat and dog were eager for John's attention when we met and it was clear that John loves and cares for animals. We came home to happy and healthy pets and definitely look forward to having John watch our pets again.

Karys had dogs while growing up. The boxer was her brother's but loved to be part of Karys' play circle and the cavalier was her's. She has retained her love of all dogs since she was a child. Recently she stayed at a friend's home who owned two large dogs - one being a pit. It was remarkable how quickly the pit settled down in Karys' company which was unusual given the dog's aggressive, territorial instincts. The friend commented she had never seen anyone who could calm her dog so quickly. She loves dogs and is very responsible to their needs. She's been the owner of a wonderful cat for the last 6 years and her caring and trustworthy behavior is evident to all. I highly recommend her for a position with Rover.com.
