“I’ve had three other dog sitters from rover before, and they’ve all been truly amazing. Shereen, however, was the best sitter I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. Our rescue dog is incredibly challenging, high energy, strong, petrified of strangers, and reactive; but Shereen won her heart over, took amazing care of her, handled everything our dog threw at her, sent amazing pictures and updates, knew exactly what to do, and even managed to train her in being less leash reactive! Thank you Shereen for being so amazing! If you can hire Shereen, do it!”
“Sarah was great. It was a last minute booking and she was very calming to me. My senior pup was well taken care of. Would definitely book her again.”
“She exceeded my expectations. She was very careful and affectionate with my cat, and throughout the time, I received videos and photos in which the kitty looked very comfortable and happy. It is clear that she loves animals and knows exactly how to take care of them and make them feel comfortable and safe. She is very organized and responsible. In my case, she took care of my pet for eight consecutive days, and when I arrived, everything was perfect. I highly recommend her 100%.”
“This was our first time using Rover. We came to DC for a graduation and Naval commissioning and needed a dog sitter for a full day. Zoe replied and the rest was history. Her online communication was awesome. We did a meet and greet and which and immediately felt comfortable leaving Dolly (American Staffordshire Terrier/Pittie) with her. Zoe arrived on time and we left. Zoe sent pictures during the day and gave us a status report. When we arrived back at our hotel, they were both snuggled on the couch. To sum it up, Zoe is totally reliable, very communicative and I am absolutely sure you will have no issues if you decide to let her watch your dog(s).”
“Tanay always takes great care of Millie! We know she’s in great hands when we are out of town. She loves him and is always excited to see him!”
“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”
“Gianni was an amazing sitter! She was very responsive and great with my dog, was so great to have the peace of mind while out for the evening. Will definitely rebook with her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”
“Catarina is a pet's dream sitter! She was kind, caring, attentive and very fun. I made the house and 2 dogs sit extra challenging by providing very detailed instructions on the daily routine for both the dogs and the house. Catarina rose to the challenge and I had no doubt that she would do everything necessary so that the dogs hardly noticed that I was away. Catarina's experience, love of pets, and positive attitude comforted me to know that my dogs (and home) were safe and happy.”
