1. Stephanie H.
“Stephanie did a great job for our first time house/dog sitter. Elderly pooch with poor eyesight and hearing looked and acted in fine fetter. He even got to sleep with Stephanie which kept him happy. House was clean, obviously well cared for as well.”
2. Melissa M.
“Melissa was incredible. My dog has severe separation anxiety and can not be left alone. She listened to all of my concerns and stayed with him the entire time. He warmed up to her so quick and was completely comfortable (which is extremely rare). She helped make my vacation so stress free because when my dog is ok, I’m ok.”
3. Roan R.
“Roan was a lovely fit for our pack of pups at home. Roan is kind, thoughtful, and full of heart. Roan is also flexible and that meant a great deal to us. Due to a family death, our plans shifted and this time of year became a true challenge. So, I am grateful for the empathy Roan gave to both our pups and our family.”

8. Imani R.
“Imani was great with our 2 rescue pups. She seems to enjoy their company and did a great job at communicating and asking all the right questions beforehand. She's patient and caring. I'd highly recommend her!”
9. Liza W.
“Liza was a great dog/housesitter! I have a fairly sensitive dog and she understood him well and he was happy and engaged during the entire visit. She was also very communicative and sent me regular updates. Would 100% recommend.”
10. Kelly C.
“What a lovely surprise, Kelly had a rough night with our pups due to stupid fourth of July fireworks. She stuck it out and comforted our pups. They were in great hands. Plus she left our home clean and welcoming. We look forward to welcoming her to stay with our pups again soon.”
11. Holly W.
“Holly took such great care of our dog while we were away. She was very communicative, and we appreciated the frequent updates. Our dog seemed happy and comfortable when we got back, we would definitely book with Holly again!”
12. Lauren R.
“Lauren was a great dog and house sitter! I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her from the meet and greet. She took great care of my place and kept me updated with pictures the whole time. Would totally use her again!”
13. Liv V.
“Liv was absolutely amazing! She took great care of my dog and even made us a cake (along with running the dishwasher). She was great with communication and I'd definitely rebook. Highly highly recommend!”
14. Kiera U.
“Kiera did an amazing job watching our somewhat difficult dogs:) they have some reactivity issues and she was willing and able to listen and learn about them and did so great!”
15. Omar K.
“Omar knew exactly how to approach and handle our high energy reactive dog, especially bc she has a lot of quirks and behaviors she’s training through. We had such a great peace of mind knowing he was taking care of Rosey. He was a perfect guest as well and left things exactly how we left them. Rosey was so calm and relaxed when we got back home!”
16. Melanie B.
“Melanie took great care of our dog, Maggie. Maggie is very attached to her family and gets anxious and depressed when we leave. Melanie gave her a lot of love and care. She did a great job communicating with us how Maggie was doing. That allowed us to give her tips on how to address issues that arose. I would definitely leave Maggie with Melanie again. Thank you, Melanie!”
17. Jaycen M.
“Jaycen has been walking my pup Luna and house sitting for me regularly and we are so lucky to have him! He is communicative, patient and so respectful of my pets and home. Highly recommend!!”
18. Alessandro M.
“Alex took great care of our house and fur babies. He communicated with us throughout the day and sent the cutest pictures! We came home to a clean house and very happy babies! Thank you again!!!”
19. Tristan S.
“We truly enjoyed having Tristan care for our dogs. This was our first experience with Rover and we will surely keep using it! Tristan has great attention to detail when caring for your pets (really follows instructions) and is an excellent house guest.”
20. Kelsey U.
“Kelsey sat for our 14 year old cat Rena for 3 days/2 nights as a sleep-over sitter. Kelsey showed a lot of interest and skill in getting to know Rena and her personality quirks, and she was receptive to our instructions. When we got home, Rena was happy and peaceful, and the house was clean and odor-free. What more could a person ask for?? I appreciated that Kelsey let us know exactly when and for how long she would be away from our house, and the daily check-ins/updates and photos Kelsey sent were so welcome! I tend to worry when I leave our animals, but these things really helped me feel confident about the care Rena was getting. We will hire her again.”
