“Barbara was a great house/cat sitter. She checked in frequently and sent lots of photos, her communication is stellar. We came home to a clean house and calm kitties, wonderful care. Barbara is awesome.”
“Monday is extremely kind and responsive and took incredible care of our cat, Bug, and sent daily updates and photos. she also cleaned the apartment for our return :-) i absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!!”
“My husband and I couldn’t have asked for a more attentive, thoughtful, and communicative sitter for our dogs. It was a last-minute booking and our first time using a sitter, so we were a bit anxious to leave them, but from the very first meet and greet, we felt completely at ease. Anna took the time to really get to know our dogs, tuning into their individual personalities and needs. Throughout her stay, she sent thoughtful updates, photos, and videos, which reassured us that they were safe, happy, and in the best hands. We know our dogs loved their time with her — we came home to two relaxed, content pups. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Anna again and feel so lucky to have found her!”
“Kayla is a gem! She took excellent care of our dog Joni, left the house in great shape, and was very communicative throughout. Her daily updates let us know we had left our pup in good hands - and she even helped water our garden beds while we were away. We are very grateful to have found her!”
“Shannon was great with our 5-month-old Border Collie puppies for a 3-day house/dog sit. They are a handful, and both dogs and house were in great shape, upon our return. Shannon is punctual and a solid communicator. Highly recommended.”
“Tyler is one of the best Rovers I have ever booked! He followed all of my care instructions and kept me updated on how the dog was doing. The photos he sent me made me feel at ease. I will definitely book him again!”
“Dey was wonderful. Reliable and communicative and took great care of my senior cat. I appreciate their grounded presence and attention to detail. I'd definitely book with them again.”
“Char and Ben were fantastic pet sitters for my two Danes. It was obvious from the meet and greet that they had experience and were very comfortable around X-lg dogs! The communication and photos were top notch. My dogs are quirky and Char and Ben were able to work with them on their picky eating and fear of the floor register. The Danes were very content when I came home so I knew they had gotten their needs met while I was gone. Bodhi is now moping around as he misses his new buddies. Highly recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
“Scott was wonderful! He did a great job taking care of our pets and home while we were away. He tried multiple methods to give our cat her medicine and was patient and caring throughout. He also made sure our dog got regular walks and plenty of attention. He was respectful, tidy, and left the house very clean. Communication was great and we really appreciated how reliable he was. Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay was great! She is very communicative and sent updates and pictures of my pup which I very much appreciated. She is very clearly a dog person and got along with my pup immediately. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Erin helped us out in a pinch that required some extra communication and a handoff. She was professional, communicative and helpful, and we were confident that the pets were well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
“This is the second time Ethan has stayed with my 2 doggos for a close to a week. They both love Ethan, and were happy to have them stay (well, Percy is really only happy when I'm home, but he was as happy as he GETS when I'm not around). Ethan kept my garden alive for a week during August and the house looks as good or better than when I left it. We will happily have Ethan back again the next time I go out of town.”
“Brandon has watched our cats & house on several trips and he always does such a great job! Plus his pet pictures are beautiful and make us feel like we’re there with our boys; very comforting. We highly recommend him!”
“Aaron was a fantastic cat sitter. He gave my asthmatic cat, Tiger, her inhaler like an absolute pro, sent wonderful photo updates the whole time, and was incredibly conscientious. He left the house spotless, and somehow even won over my very shy kitty, Flora, by the end she was rubbing up against his legs like they’d been best friends for years. Highly recommend.”
“Jaycen was absolutely amazing with our fur babies!! We have a very vocal bengal and a 100lb dog that has a hurt leg and needs daily medication and he handled everything so well. It’s the first time we’ve come home from a trip and our animals haven’t seemed anxious when we arrived. He also sent us daily pictures, responded quickly to any messages we sent and our house looked and smelled even better than we left it. We will definitely be booking with Jaycen again!!”
“Megan was very responsive and clearly enjoys doing this work. We had her in for a half day of pet sitting and she took good care of our dog, was great about letting me know specifics on how he was doing, and was flexible with a last minute schedule change. Would definitely hire her again.”
“Jasper and Jaydon took wonderful care of Muffin and my house! They were responsive, professional, and so kind and conscientious. I would recommend them to anyone!”
“Shelly was an absolutely fantastic sitter during a 9 day stay with our reactive dog! She not only gained our dog’s trust quickly, but ours too. It was such a relief to have someone who understood and was empathetic to all of our quirky routines to help make our dog happier and more calm. Shelly was communicative, attentive, checked in daily with adorable photos, and left our place clean and tidy. We can’t wait to have Shelly stay with our girl, Lily, again.”
Alameda pet parents share their Rover experiences
Ashlyn was great! She was super communicative and punctual. I had a VERY last min overnight sitting request and she was as on it no problem. She left my home clean and tidy and took excellent care of my old giant breed pup. I would totally recommend her. Thanks Ashlyn!
12/10 – Sparkle is the house sitter everyone wishes they could find. ✨ From the moment we met Sparkle, we knew our home and pets were in exceptional hands. She went far above and beyond anything we expected from a house sitter. Not only did she take impeccable care of everything, but she also gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Sparkle is reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to detail. We received regular updates, photos, and check-ins, which made it easy to relax knowing everything was being handled so well. Our home was spotless when we returned—honestly, it may have looked better than when we left. What truly sets Sparkle apart is the genuine care she brings to the job. She treats your home, pets, and routines with the same respect and attention she would give her own. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, professional, and kind all in one package. If you’re considering hiring Sparkle, stop looking and book her now. She’s the kind of sitter who becomes your first choice for every future trip. We would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding care and complete confidence while they’re away.
Emily looked after our one year-old puppy for a couple days while we had to go out of town at the last minute. Murphy seemed happy and content when we got home and the house was in great shape. Emily also looked out for packages that got delivered and helped bring those in. Thank you so much!
Anna was a good communicator, asked great questions, and took good care of both my pup and my home. My border collie, Alsea, is super high-energy and Anna seemed to handle it well. The house was clean and Alsea was tired (in a good way) and well-adjusted when I got home. I will definitely call Anna again for future pet sitting needs!
I highly recommend Emily! I have a nervous pup who had never done in-house sitting before and Emily helped her feel positive and comfortable about the experience. The house was in great shape and everyone was in good spirits upon my return. It was a comfort to know both my cat and dog were diligently cared for while I was away.
