1. Izzy Y.

“Izzy took care of my two Huskies for three days, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She has a genuine love for animals and was very responsible. My dogs absolutely adored her and were well taken care of, with plenty of exercise and affection. Izzy was professional, punctual, and kept me updated with photos and messages. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Izzy, for taking such great care of my Huskies!”


2. Tori W.

“Tori did a wonderful job taking care of our fur-kid, Franklin, and our home while we were gone. She was great about sending photos and reaching out to me if she had any questions. Franklin completely took to her and was as normal as could be when we got home after a week away. (He's 8 mos old and this was his first experience being left with a sitter.) It was wonderful to return home to a tidy house AND a happy cat. I would recommend Tori to anyone who needs a thoughtful, conscientious house & pet sitter!”


3. Alex J.

“Alex always takes such great care of Goose. He is very punctual and goes above and beyond for Goose. We come home to a happy and healthy dog!”


4. Cara F.

“Cara was exactly the kind of person I was hoping for when I knew I would need a pet sitter. She was very communicative, responding quickly and thoroughly, warm & caring, and aware that our fur families aren't just pets. Cara went the extra mile to reassure me (an anxious person who has only had friends and family pet sit before) and keep me updated on the goings on of each of my pets (with the most adorable pictures!) so that I had the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. She was incredibly patient and understanding with my anxious rescue pup and put up with my bratty teenage cats. Would wholeheartedly recommend--your fur kids will be in good hands!”


5. Abigail W.

“Abigail was great watching my two giant breed dogs and house sitting while my family and I went on vacation. My dogs are very large and can be a handful at times. I have traditionally used a boarding facility, but i always worry about the dogs just being in a kennel for long hours. I tried Rover for the very first time, and Abigail was great. The house and the dogs were both exactly how we left them!”


6. Natalee C.

“Natalee stayed in our home with our senior dog for 4 nights. She followed all the instructions we left for our girl’s care, the house was clean and everything in good shape and we received lots of updates, photos and videos. She really took the time to get to know Jenny so she’d be able to provide what she needed dependent on her (our dog’s) moods and needs. We will certainly use Natalee for any future trips and would absolutely recommend her!”


7. Lauryn J.


“Lauryn did an amazing job taking care of my fur baby. Not only was she available on short notice but she kept me updated with pics and check ins. He has some medical issues and she was able to navigate those and alert me as needed. Highly recommend!”


8. Carolyn T.

“Carolyn was absolutely amazing! She came to house and dog sit for me and she did such an amazing job. She was super communicative and sent photo updates. I have her watching Sally again for an out of town wedding and I know that my girl will be in good hands with Carolyn!”


9. Niara J.

“Niara, Took very good care of mine and my sister’s dog’s. She would send updated pictures a couple times a day. Let them out so much and gave them a lot of love. I didn’t feel they were lonely or in danger at all. Highly recommend. 5 Stars.”


10. Kenzie C.

“Kenzie was amazing with my two pups! She was attentive to their needs and quirks. Eased my mind while I was away. My dogs love her and I will definitely have her watch them again!!”


11. Jeena G.

“Jen is the absolute best. When I travel I know I can relax and truly enjoy my trips because she is taking such great care of my pup. She has such a kind heart and cares about animals so much. She’s the only person I trust with my dog. So grateful to have her.”


12. Haley K.
“I recommend Haley to anyone looking for a dog caretaker. She is responsible , polite, and timely . I will be giving her a call next time i need a dog sitter.”


13. Barclay N.

“Barclay was most attentive & communicative. The kids seemed to have loved him & vice versa.He texted regularly which made us comfortable with their well being.”


14. Rusul A.

“Suli house sat and watched our Blue Heeler Tag for 10 days. Tag was happy, and calm when we got home. We were kept updated. Suli left the home clean like we left it and even washed her sheets and watered our plants. We would recommend Suli and will definitely use her again.”




15. Julie P.


“Julie was so wonderful with our dog. She sent lots of pictures and videos and we could tell she sincerely cared for her. We will definitely book again with Julie and can highly recommend her.”


16. Emily B.

“Emily was amazing! This was my first time using Rover, but by the time the day came for her to stay with my dogs, I feel very comfortable and knew they were in great hands. Will definitely use her again and highly recommend!”


17. Stephanie W.

“Perfect as always. Communicated well while we were away and Oliver has bonded to Stephanie very well. We trust her to take good care of Oliver and our home. Thank you Stephanie!”


18. Katie S.

“Katie was great and adapted to the fact that we had recently moved to a new home easily. She handled changes to the schedule with no problems and was able to work with our sometimes nervous pups!”


19. Allison R.
“Allison was amazing. Willing to meet before we left town, sent us a picture every day, was flexible when we needed her to come earlier than originally planned, and left our house cleaner than she found it! We will definitely use her services again in the future.”
